Welcome to SSS!

[Anderton]

If you're new to SSS, first of all, welcome to the community! "Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage" first appeared in 1995 on AOL, and became part of Musicplayer.com in 2000 after spending some time being hosted by audio guru Lynn Fuston...and now it's joined the Harmony Central community. We have a really good crew of people here who can answer just about any question you might have, as well as provide everything from A to Z (specifically, Amusement to Zen-like wisdom).

There are only a few very simple protocols that you need to know.

1. Do not post specifically to promote your band, your services, or sell things. Giving things away is fine. Use common sense; members are merciless to someone who has one or two posts and starts a thread called "Here's a link to my band's new song, I'm the world's greatest guitarist, please give me some feedback." HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE: Feel free to include this sort of information in your signature. Also, we do give some veteran community members a little slack, so once you've been here for a while and you find out your band is opening for Green Day or something, feel free to share the good news

2. No "ad hominem" attacks. Debate ideas, not people...respect your differences, and avoid the mudslinging. In the immortal words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."

3. No politics or religion, please. There is a separate forum, "The SSS Political Party" (also affectionately known as "the mosh pit") where you can rant away. Other than that, SSS is an open mic forum. We have lots of comments on popular culture, the music industry, and so on.

So what is SSS? I liken it to a virtual party, and I'm the host. You're all invited to come and have a great time. Each thread is like a group of people going off and having a discussion. Be courteous to your fellow partygoers...drink as much as you'd like (there's a virtual open bar), but please don't barf on the carpet or you'll be politely escorted to a virtual cab so you can go home and sober up.

Now enjoy! -- Craig Anderton

Hi Craig,

[insert little blue guy with a big white thumb] YAY!!!! Party Time!!! A big welcome goes out to all the HC folks that venture on over to the SSS.

[Duck King]

Is a guy with 15 posts a veteran or a guy with 18k posts?:confused:

[Ani]

Craig is certainly a veteran as a music industry professional....

[boosh]

Anderton,..... somewhere that name rings a bell,....
Have we met before Mr.Anderton? ;)

[fantasticsound]

Well, you who are "new" to the SSS are about to meet a lot of veterans with far fewer posts than you... Unless you drop by the archives at Music Player's forums (former home of many, if not all of the new HC forum additions. You'll find many of us have, ..er, no life. ;)

Here's to many years of SSS at HC!

[AMZ-FX]

"Craig Anderton's Sound, Studio, and Stage" first appeared in 1995 on AOL
Wasn't the old forum on the GEnie dialup network called SSS? And it pre-dates AOL :D :D

Welcome aboard, Craig!

Best regards, Jack Orman

I vote that Craig Anderton is a veteran.

Postcount only means that you've posted here longer than he has posted here.

But he is infinitely wiser in the ways of The Force.

[corngoodness]

Hey Craig,
I saw your work with the Digitech GNX4. You're kinda cute. Wanna see my hot tub?

I guess that's why they don't call you MrReadingcomprehensionstayontopicguy.

[Super 8]

GREETINGS officially...

I'm here.

Looking forward to seeing my old friends from MusicPlayer, and making some new one's at Harmony C.

[gatorwing]

Hi Everybody!

[Gainon10]

Glad to see this here!

I look forward to learning a lot.

[Lee Flier]

Greetings fellow travellers. Glad to see the transponder worked OK... although some of you probably could use to have some atoms rearranged... :D

[jackpine]

Welcome to your new digs, Craig.

I know this will be good......

[daklander]

Good to see you here Craig, on time as scheduled. :thu:

[The Real MC]

Hi Craig, nice to see you here. I'd just like to say that you are to blame for getting me into engineering when I built some circuits out of your books 25 years ago and made a bunch a PAiA kits. Thanks to you, my spare time is consumed designing audio gear, repairing my vintage synths, and making lots and lots of great music.

Not that it's a bad thing :D

[UnderTheGroove]

Welcome Craig!

I didn't post on the Music Player version of your forum often, but I did read through it all of the time. Good luck with your new forum location.

[madjack]

Craig;
Welcome to Hamony Central. I think you will enjoy many of the veteran posters here. We have a good group.
I've enjoyed your work and learned much from your columns for many years. I look forward to learning more from you here.
John

[the stranger]

There is no spoon. :D

[valkyriesound]

Hello everyone! So many new people to talk to... could be interesting...

Ms. Valky

[DigitMus]

Just want to say congrats to Craig & SSS on the new digs. I'm S_Gould over at MP, but the rest of the net knows me by my handle here. Looking forward to much lively discussion & meeting new people.

Scott

[rjt]

Craig,
I was pretty much a lurker at the old forums. Nice to have your input on music, etc. I have learned much from your mag. articles.

Take Care

[kevinnem]

Well Craig have been over at eqmag.com (musicaplayer.com) since the very beginning with you. I just want to say it is nice to see that you jump on board over here at HC. lots great people, and the live sound area (my own industry) is very active.

Welcome to HC, I look forward to picking your brain.

Kev.

[AudioMaverick]

Yup... I'm in, too! Kind of odd seeing the old forum still up with active posts.

Time to kick back and settle in... Uhm... Phone call... Off to work!

Howdy, everyone! :cool:

[rim]

Just checking in...

Wanted to have my first HC post on SSS so here it is.

The new digs seem nice, Craig. Here's to even more years as the host with most!

Cheers!

What was the topic?

[alfonso]

Hi Craig :)

more rooms in my Web house....that's nice, but it will be harder to remove the dust here and there...but's ok! :)

[Kid Klash]

Hi there -

So, are the new forums designed to replace existing forums here at HC, or are they intended to be additions to the forum list, and let the original "less-filtered" forums such as Open Jam and Recording remain?

Just curious...

There are a lot of very talented forum members that frequent the original forums, along with a ton of great information stored in the threads and stickies in the original forums, and it'll be interesting to see how things at the HC forums progress over the next few months.

[Timezarrow]

Welcome to HC, Craig and gang. This looks to be an interesting addition to the forum line-up here, along with the others which just popped up.

If any of you folks need a change of pace occasionally, you're welcome to check out Cool Jam, not to be confused with Open Jam.

I followed a link to your old location, and liked the tone of the forum over there, so I think I'll be spending some time over here. And, of course, it's great to have someone of Craig's reputation on board.

:cool:

I don't have inside knowledge, but according to Scott Lehman, there may be some less active forums which are replaced. That wouldn't be likely to include Recording, and would only include Open Jam if the standard was mental activity! (I keed, I keed!)

;)

There are a few forums which really don't get much activity. I haven't looked closely enough yet to see if any have disappeared.

:cool:

[Tom Hicks]

Welcome Craig.

And kudos for your many years helping folks in the music mags.

[Calfee Jones]

...wheeze ...huff ...puff ...

<slam!> ... stomp...stomp...stomp...

... I made it! What did I miss ? :)

[Dylan Walters]

This is trippy. I mean, everyone from SSS is here, but it's like a whole new dimension, man. It's like the SSS's evil twin or something. I'm freakin' out:eek: :p .

[Stenberg]

Thank you, Craig.

Hello, everyone!

They are not replacing existing forums, we're just adding new ones. The exceptions are that Dave Bryce has become the head honcho on the existing Keyboard forum, and Dendy Jarrett has taken over moderating the existing Drum forum.

Otherwise, it's strictly new additions, and we hope to get lots of cross pollination between all the forums, old and new!

[Lee Flier]

Cool to start seeing so many familiar faces here! :)

[KB Gunn]

Hi Craig,

I made it over here. It's looking pretty good. Wow, Lee has been busy. Day one and she already has 200 posts! Lee, don't forget to give the fingers and wrists a break. Between keying and guitar playing, you don't want to get carpal tunnel syndrome.;)

[GuitArtMan]

Welcome!!!

Cool. Thanks for the reply.

Welcome to HC, by the way.

[LANSTARR]

Craig, do you write for Keyboard or EM? I read both and I know you are from one of the two.... :eek: can't seem to remember with

[Lee Flier]

Craig writes for Keyboard, EM, and EQ... and other places too. He is everywhere, there's no escape. :D

HC and MP vets alike - we're all newbies to the HC incarnation of SSS. ;)

Hey Craig, welcome to your new digs! :wave:

Best,

[Gato]

Another old one here :D

Hi everybody ¡¡¡

[MarkZ]

Well, it took a little while, but I finally got here. So, what did I miss?

[Andrewrg]

Hi and welcome:)

[tradivoro]

Well, just posting to say, I made it here for the first time, and I'm sure this place will grow large and varied, as did the other place... :)

[blackpig]

By jove I can't leave you miscreants alone for a minute. There I am, holidaying in the Austrian Alps along with Mrs. Blackpig. Now here I am home again only to find that we have moved house. I am sure it will all be to the good; at the moment I am glad that I have found you all again. I am also glad to be alive because flying scares me shitless.:)

[fuge]

Welcome

[Watsonian]

Welcome. Nice to see something new on HC.

[Lee Knight]

I took a week vacation from work and computers of any kind. I'm back suntanned, and hungover. Cheers all. I like the new digs...:)

[Anderton]

It's all coming along great, aside from Lee Flier's eyeballs falling out of her sockets trying to moderate the political forum...

[tdempsey]

Craig,
Your column in Keyboard is the one I jump right to - i.e. most useful.
also like the MIDI book that I've, uh "borrowed" from a former drummer....

Keep up the good work and welcom to HC!

[Jossy]

Hey, first time in here. I'll check things out, ask questions later.

Saludos.

[Robert Keeley]

Howdy Craig! Thanks for being a major inspiration! Years and years of great articles and information you have passed along!
THANKS!

[Kiyoshi_Masamun]

I must be dreaming.

For al the years I've been reading all of Mr. Anderton, I thought he was kind of like a Luke Skywalker in music... wow, man. I'm freakin' out...

I guess I can rest in peace now. ;) .... Welcome, Mr. Anderton!

Ky

[Anderton]

Well thanks for the kind words. I'm thoroughly enjoying myself in the new digs, and also working on some new educational content for the site. Those of you who remember the early days of MusicPlayer.com can look forward to things I did like the "Step by Step Mastering" with audio examples, which was very popular. Nothing like rich media to get a point across!

Welcome Ky.

[John Bartus]

Craig,

It's good to visit your new home -- nice digs! I'm an old friend from the SSS on AOL days (digital vs. analog fries), who hung out at Music Player (when he had the time), and now you'll see the Mayor of Marathon lurking here every now and again. Congrats on the new forum!

The good news is that I'm term-limited out of office next March, and I'll finally get a chance to work on recording some new music, and maybe hang out here more often, too. In the meantime, stop on down for some stone crabs (well, as soon as they get back in season -- October 15).

Congrats again on the new SSS!


By the way... check out my article on recording a live CD in the September issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine! I'm finally published!!! The Big Time!!! WOO HOO!

Ooops... sorry.

[Anderton]

John, great to hear from you again! Welcome back.

[KB Gunn]

Hi Craig,

I am wondering if you could explain why I am unable to attach photos to posts in the attachment section. I use a mac. The attachment seems to show up after I have applied it on the posting page, but when I preview it doesn't appear. I convert it to jpeg in iPhoto before attaching. Please advise.

[Anderton]

Is it more than 102k in size?

[Anderton]

Also -- try changing the extension to .JPG if it's currently .JPEG

[adamsj]

I've enjoyed much of your book work in the past.

Looking forward to your posts here on H-C.

[KB Gunn]

Craig,

Even when the pic is only 40 kb, it still won't show up on the post. It is listed as a .jpg, not .jpeg. Also, it's name does appear next to the choose file button after I have selected it, just no picture shows up. For instance, I added the attachment to this post and it isn't showing up here either. EDIT!!! Actually, it is showing up now. I guess I got it to work after all. In the words of Gilda Radner, "Never Mind!":confused:

[wheat]

About 18 years ago you bought me dinner in Nashville when you came to town to master an album. I had written an article or two for Electronic Musician magazine.

Best wishes with the new forum.

[zekmoe]

Welcome!! I used to post at SSS back when it was an AOL forum. Lost touch mostly since then, but hope to visit some.

Bob

[Anderton]

Welcome, Wheat and Bob...I remember that dinner in Nashville, I think I was working with Randy Kling at Disk Mastering...I learned a lot from him :) As I recall dinner was pretty good too.

Bob, as an AOL vet, you'll find things are a bit different here but at least it doesn't cost ya $3 an hour!!
