It will be very evident which frequency range you need to give over for the sake of a clear mix.

That happens this time of year , but in the months leading into Christmas I’ve noticed that things that would have instantly sold , have been sitting. Especially in the US , but to a lesser degree our local market on kijiji as well. Things are unusually slow.

thread hi jack, anybody got a recommendation for an amp with a mid tone control? I find the best way to bring the bass out in a recording is to cut the mids

Gonna Hitchhike Down To Cincinnati And Kick The Sh*t Outta Your Drunk Daddy - Nashville Pussy

Ah ok. I’ll have to take another look at the manual, I don’t recall seeing anything about that

Currently loving the FrankenJazz -> Darkglass Anagram -> Darkglass Microtubes -> Barefaced BB2 Nice bright, slightly gritty sounds with thump

That's the sound of victory.

This is what I ended up with - the turntable sounds great and Mrs Dinger and I are enjoying our vinyl collection again. I had forgotten (or perhaps not realised) how lifelike an LP can sound. Dual 505 > Arcam Alpha 9 > Gale speakers on Atacama stands. And an IKEA "HiFi Rack". It brings me great joy.

A winner, I think.

No need to get excited, though. I was just pointing out that adjusting any one setting does change the perception of the overall sound, so touching at 'treble' (or whatever...) would naturally lead to touching elsewhere, such as volume, to compensate. The overall sound changes if one changes any single element of that sound. That's all. Peace.

Can’t say it’s the right book but it could be from either of these, maybe, Essential Music Theory for Electric Bass- Mel bay, or Music Theory for the Bass Player-Ariane Cap

Sweet Hitch Hiker - CCR

Yours is better than his then.

Not everyone is a gear-junkie here! Weren't there about five or six who haven't bought anything for a whole year? @Mrnace I'm referring to this. Quite a lot of reasonable thinking as well as some beautiful failures there.

Hitch Hike — Marvin Gaye

OK, I studied acoustics and electronics in the university. Worked in a broadcasting company. Did a digital audio and video testing handbook to the service personnel in the company with some help from BBC, as well as wrote a short handbook about MPEG-2 in the 90's while very few of you had even heard about audio coding or audio codecs, like MPEG-1 layer 3 (MP3) which is included in the MPEG-2. I may understand sound and perception a little bit, thank you.

By way of update from my diggings you can get knurled tuning gears from Sire, I think for free as they did a bit of a mea culpa for the current designs. Any more impressions from these basses? I just ordered the swamp ash version for a juicy £616 with Bad Shop. It should be here maybe maybe maybe next week. Ander.

I assume he didn't want to be swamped by a million "I told you so's".

Don’t Panic - Coldplay

Happy New Year everybody! Can anybody please identify what book the attached random page came from as I would like to buy the book? I found itvtucked in the back of an entirely different book I bought from a charity shop, and I like this particular layout. I've been searching and searching for a match using AI and all sorts, but with no luck. Thank you all very much.

Hello to you. Welcome aboard. How was your bank balance?

@EddieG hasn't been on this site since June 2025, I hope he's OK.

I think there's a whole 'nother thread specifically with you in mind! The "Gear Absinthe 2026" thread, or something similar...

Is it bad up your way ? I'm not too bad as have 4x4 Subaru but its never an easy drive in snowy conditions no matter what you drive. I see on news Amber warning out now and not drive unless you need to. Dave
