<p>So... I got in pton ED, and I'm a major audiophile... I play guitar and listen to all kinds of music (jazz, rock, rap, classical, electronic)</p>
<p>I just want to find reassurance that I'm not going to find myself in any kind of musical drought at pton...</p>
<p>So who loves to create/listen to music?</p>
<p>P.S. I'm going to join the jazz bands at pton and hope to start a student-run rock band of some sort while there too, so if anyone's interested... ;)</p>
<p>I'm into classical music and sing with the Chapel Choir as well.</p>
<p>I'm getting ready for spring a cappella auditions as we speak.</p>
<p>There's definitely a lot of music love as well as music talent on campus.</p>

ME ME ME ME!!</p>
<p>I can do the recording/arrangement for you :)</p>
<p>hey im a huge hendrix fan.,,,,,,listen to a lot of blues and jazz. little milton, j lee hooker,janis joplin, etta james, muddy waters, brownie mcghee,....
i alo play the guitar( and slide pretty well) got my own recording which i ssent to Princeton. i also play the harp,,,, so its great to hear about another guitarist on this forum. Mikstar ur rock band idea is pretty good,,so if i do get in im with u all the way man</p>
<p>I've played the sax for a few local jazz bands here in the DC area. If I go to Princeton, count me in!</p>
<p>Awesome guys! That makes me feel better.</p>
<p>Hey mercurysquad... what kind of music do you record? I dabble in recording on my computer. Nothing much beyond those cheesy midi presets and a few guitar tracks though. I was thinking about taking some electronic music courses from Paul Lansky when I get up there. Radiohead actually sampled him in Idioteque (kid a)...</p>
<p>And hendrixfan, that's really cool. I'm from the south, so I've done my share of blues playing, lol... I'm not very good with a slide though.</p>
<p>Definitely! I love music. It's basically the main reason I chose Princeton ED. I play the trumpet and I'll be playing in All-Eastern Band in Baltimore this March. Are any of you in that? I could have auditioned at the top music schools like Peabody, Eastman, and NEC, which was what I would have done (for a double degree) if Princeton rejected me ED, but they didn't, so that's good. I'm just hoping the ensembles and music scene are as vibrant at Princeton as I heard they are. So yes, I'd love to start up some ensembles like a rock band (with horns) or brass quintet. Count me in.</p>
<p>Your (former) college plans sound exactly like mine (were), dvd56x... The Rochester/Eastman program was my second choice. Tell me, are you still considering a career in music after Princeton? I am, but oddly enough I don't think I want to major in music there... I just plan to get a performance certificate (maybe 2 (jazz and computer music))</p>
<p>Strange that you mention All-East... I'm leaving for my state's All-West Jazz tomorrow.</p>
<p>I think it would be cool to have a career in music. I'm going to major in Financial Engineering or Economics and get a certificate in Music Performance. I would love to play and gig on the side and make some money that way. When I graduate, I will probably not have music be my sole income. I will probably work in business and make music a hobby, playing in some wedding bands and brass quintets etc... Who knows. I sometimes think it would be awsome if I just went down the music route and got a good job playing for a major orchestra, but I didn't see that happening, so I'm fine with playing trumpet on the side. I refuse to let myself get worse in college with all the studying for other classes.</p>

<p>I record almost ANY imaginable kind of music, so yeah I'm more of a recording engineer than a musician ;). I compose mostly Indipop (indian pop music) with a friend. Apart from that, I write the usual pop/rock music as well as techno/trance/house etc. So you see it traverses the whole panorama (except country/jazz etc.).</p>
<p>MIDI - get a good soundcard!! I suggest an SB live or audigy for excellent MIDI, or if you can afford one, get a Yamaha SW1000xg. I make pro quality MIDI files (which is how I learnt to record on the computer).</p>
<p>What software/soundcard do you use? I use Sonar 3.0 running on SB live and Yamaha YMF744 card.</p>
<p>hey mickstar-ive been playing the sax for 10 years and I really love jazz! maybe we can play together...if i get into pton lol ;)</p>
<p>If I get in I can do the vocals for a student-run death metal band on campus lol</p>
