Does anyone know if it's realistic/practical to fly to either Vegas or LA for a day trip from SF?

Or would the travel time still gobble up most of the day?

For NY, I'm looking at staying in Chelsea or Brooklyn

I'm glad I posted this thread. Loads of good info so thanks.

oh, and people around here don't ever call it 'san fran' or 'frisco'. we say 'SF'. i'm sure i sound like a dick saying that

Not at all. Happy you told me :)

Looks like I'm going to go with the Powell & Clay St apartment option. Now I ...

Definitely looking forward to seeing the redwoods. We have maybe 3 in our botanic gardens here (not nearly as old or big!) and they're my favourite.

I was thinking about going on one of those day trip tours to Yosemite too.

If you were to travel south I would recommend going down the coast on highway 1 to Santa Cruz. It’s a nice little college beach town with a boardwalk amusement park. It’s where they filmed Lost Boys if that means anything to you. But since you don’t have a car I don’t know how you would get down ...

around the cross streets of 16th and Valencia is more to my liking than most as it pertains to the night life there. YMMV.

Right ok. So that'd be closest to the mission district place I was looking at on 20th st. Will look into it a bit more. I'm gonna be solo so will more likely be getting ...

I'm actually visiting the US for the first time in September.

Gonna have 6 days in SF and 7 in NY.

Any recommendations on things to checkout and do as a solo traveller?

For clubs, I've been told: Cielo, Sullivan Room, 1015 Folsom, Mighty, The Endup

I'm also looking for suggestions on which'd be ...

U da man!

It's "Someone Great"

I'm not a massive fan of them but I dig that track.

I've heard this a few times before, i'm sure it's a well known track. But I don't know what it is.

Playing at the start of this clip (i think it's finishing, but i've heard the whole version before and it has dude vocals)

I asked this at my local DJ ...

I have a padkontrol, which is cool but I need a keyboard controller and don't have much space.

Was thinking I could get the kontrol49 which would do the job of both - I'm pretty basic in my use of the pad kontrol anyway, just use it to bang out simply rhythms/drum hits

So anyone used both? I see ...

true. that's an idea

Also found a way - in logic - sampler editor -> factory -> pitch and time machine.. destructively

I'm playing with logic, been working through some tutorials and decided I'd like to try and make a mix CD combining my stuff with external tracks.

You can timestretch stuff by dragging but it's not exact.

Is there a way like in ableton for you to say make this track 120bpm?

ok

thanks

Can anyone recommend a good book or training dvd for learning logic 8? (I'm a complete newcomer to it)

Or is the manual supplied pretty good?

I was looking at:

I've also heard and read great reviews of the SE2200a

Might also want to put the Audio Technica AT2020 on your list
