Kara-Moon Forum

We have done it, after weeks of preparation with the cooporation of our mods, the first issue of the KM-zine is available.

We hope we will be able to make this a monthly publication which will grow with new articles.
But to make this we need more authors, so if you feel that you could add some knowledge, article, or other stuff to this zine, please contribute

A special thanks to offthewall for the hard work he delivered to make the publication

Have fun !

Congratulations with this launch!

I like it very much, a very nice (other) medium, to reach people.

Next to that I like the mix of technical, practical & human intervals.

Also to create more interactivity and a manner to know people in the Artist of the month section.

For me this is already a success!

Go KM go  :;

"We hope we will be able to make this a monthly publication which will grow with new articles."

I'm going to send this file to my musician friends, and eventually compile some sort of "mailing list" with this in mind..... O0

Very good idea !

Congrats with the first release. A real fine job indeed. I'll try to spend some time writing some articles for the KM free music zine.

Moon

Congratulations  :-

Yeah, this is really excellent!! Cheers guys, you've done a very good job  :-

Interesting articles and very well put together  O0

Very clever idea, will you do record reviews for the second issue? As I have release my latest last week... http://www.geocities.com/browncoffeerec/ :D

Record reviews is a good idea !
Now we need somebody that would like to do it.... any volonteers ?

k

Kara, this is a super bright idea ! ;)

Max... .. . :;

What about a centerfold...  ?

Annonymous... .. . :;

I suppose you want a centerfold with a nice picture of a guitar.... ;D

I say we go with the Tanga Girls... :-

+1! :D

Wow!

This is really impressive in every respect.

Congratulations, you should be proud of this.

Thanks for the comment xtp and welcome here !

Beautiful first issue! Very clear font & interesting articles!

Wow! First class job! Congrats! And, the big print works for us old guys :D

Hey Fisher, one of those parts should be "how to arrange your studio so that the chords hooking up all your equipment doesn't make it look like Spider Man's den".  :D   

Yeah Fred, ...this may have to wait until we get "Bluetooth" for audio gear. Until then, the only cord/cable-free zone at Casa del Oren is the bathroom :D

 ;D LOL  ;D

I hope to have some sparetime to read the whole thing tomorrow...  ::)

Grrrr. don't even think about bluetooth >:(

<mutter> steaming pile of p<click> Brrrrrrr

Great job, guys. 8)

Hey, this is really great! Congratulations to all for a job well done.

A few minor typographical issues are all the "problems" in noticed in reading.

A few suggestions:

- I see that a lot of the ezines around these days are formatted to fit a monitor screen instead of a printed page format. I think this makes it nicer to read on a screen ... kill trees just to read is so 20th century :)

- This magazine really, really, really needs to be promoted far and wide! Now, don't ask me how ... I've given up selling my first million copies of my CD Cedars and will start over soon on the 2nd million :) It's hard work and my successes are few and far between.

- You need to make more obvious links on the KM site for this. I could only find the link at the top of this thread. I'm sure there are more ... but, it has to be obvious.

- Every month might be a bit ambitious. Great if you can, but 6 per year might be more realistic as a start.

- Finally, I get a real magazine every 2 months to my US mail address. TapeOp, http://www.tapeop.com/  is a free magazine which is really just a wrapper for lots and lots of ads. But, they manage to fill up 50 or 60 pages (I'm guessing just now) and it looks good. The point is that advertisers seem to want to spend money. Certainly, some ads might not hurt and you could spend the tons of money you make advertising the magazine :)

I won't even mention the nice stuff you say about little old me in the magazine. Folks might think I'm biased :)

Again, a job well done!

Bob.

I just got a chance to look at this and all I can say is “WOW”  :;

Super job.

Great timing also as I just got my first bass student (I’m teaching guitar at the Jam Shack School of Music in Brockport NY) and Kara’s Talking Bass Part 1 is going to same me a lot of research time!   :-

THANX

I have an idea for the magazine ! :-
I need a very good traducer Dutch-English though ! Anybody interested ?
It´s all about funny stories related to music, so nothing technical.
I´ve got the stories (some already finished) and a very good/funny (successful) writer (in Dutch :().

It would be quiet egoistic to publish them in Dutch : part of Kara-Moon dying of laughter, while the other part has to chew interesting technical music know-how... :'(

If you wanna get more info, let me know,

Cheers,

Max... .. . :;

Sounds like a good idea !

There aren't so many dutch speaking members here, so I sign up as volunteer... well at least if my knowledge of English is regarded to be 'good enough'  :-\

Moon

Mr. Moon came too soon, so he´ll have to read all afternoon ! ;D

In the anexe you´ll find a tekst; see if you like it... ???

Cheers,

Max... .. . :;

O boy. This is written very well. It will be hard to translate this while keeping the juice in this story. We really need  linguast here. HEEEELLLLPPPPP !!!!

Moon

Yes that´s why I pointed in the 'quality' direction...
If we aim high we get high. ;)

Lets cross our fingers, cheers,

Max... .. . :;

PS : BTW, that guy has won already several prizes ! 8)
