    @ped sent two messages. They both show in my version of the thread that we started at the beginning of the month. Sent messages before that in the same convo that were received. Thanks for looking into it.

    Strengths: Reliable, punctual, backing vox, book most gigs but don't get arsey if folk are unavailable (we're a one gig a month band), learn the songs, take feedback about bass parts even if it means altering something I've spent ages getting right, transport/set up PA/lights and do sound, do social media/promo stuff, decent stage presence. Weaknesses: Can be pretty single.minded about song choice, sometimes 'drift' during songs and balls up for no good reason, get carried away and make crap jokes between songs, always trying to spend more cash on perceived better gear for me or on the PA, book gigs as close to my house as possible!

    @ped any idea why my PM's didn't get though? Cheers, Andy

    No worries @karlfer. Don't know why they didn't arrive, tried to message you on FB instead.

    It's only here because I've forced myself to sit on my hands since Saturday! Getting to the stage where I'll have to put the phone in the freezer!

    Lightly used UE900s in ear headphones. In fully working condition but the black paint on one earbud got scratched so I removed the rest as I thought it looked better. Boxed with all the goodies - full set of extra tips, case, extra cable etc etc. I've only ever used one set of tips so the rest are in totally unused condition. Prefer collection from Sale, South Manchester but can post at cost/risk etc etc. No trades/swaps thanks.

    Keep trying to snag a gig there, spoken to Ben many times but just can't get us in the door. Last time I played there was as a 16 year old in the upstairs function room, pretty sure it kicked off then too.... Our favourites are the Bowling Green in Horwich, Steamhouse in Sale (a 1 minute drive home always helps) and the brilliantly named Polished Knob in Todmorden. All 3 are favourites for the same reason - the folk there love a live band and aren't shy to sing & dance along from the start. Makes it so much easier to get into the gig when there's a bit of feedback from the punters.

    That'll be why I can't see a way to sign up on their site. Thanks for that, it was an interesting conversation as it was the first I'd heard of it. Thanks.

    We've just had the 1am "You'll be paid by Invapay" conversation. I've been to the website but can't see any way of creating an account. How did you do it? Cheers!

    It did - completely forgot about this ad. I’ve updated it now. The interface works with any decent web browser so it’s not Apple specific.

    Soundcraft UI12 digital mixing desk. Wireless mixing desk with 8 XLR inputs, 2 XLR aux outputs (plus two jack channels I've used for extra monitor feeds. 32 band eq per channel, loads of built in FX and saveable presets - really useful for saving settings for different venues/songs. Works really well with our 4 piece/4 vocal band. Works with any browser/smartphone/tablet. Please note THE IPAD IS NOT INCLUDED and is just in the pics to give you an idea of what the interface looks like. The WiFi is great for tweaking sounds from out front during soundcheck and you can plug an external router in for a more reliable connection than the inbuilt one. Recording out to and music in from usb features too. Boxed and fully working in great condition. Can post at buyer's expense but would prefer collection from Sale, South Manchester so you can see it before you buy.

    Vinyl/plastic. We've got a backdrop and a couple of pull up banners.

    That was quick! Now on hold. Two Alto TS 112A pa speakers. 800w peak power. Good condition - gigged but never pushed with the associated few scuffs from transport. Fully working, these tops have served the band really well and I've used them to DJ and MC to crowds of up to 400 at white collar boxing nights. Excellent sound quality - Alto are a brand that really punch above their price point. We're only selling because we've bought more Altos. One small point - at the moment one of the O clamps I screw into the top of the speakers to hold our lighting poles won't unscrew - the bolt turns freely but just won't come out. I'm hoping to get my hands on a drill more powerful than my asthmatic cordless to drill it out properly as I want the bracket back for our new speakers. Collection from Sale, South Manchester or I can meet locally. Cheers!

    The analogue and budget arguments won out and so we gone for the Alto live 1604. I also took the chance to upgrade the tops from the older Alto TS112a to the new 312a with a lot more headroom. Have to wait a week or two to test the desk at rehearsal but I'll report back with an amateur perspective!

    We got ours from a signwriter I got to know from the local pub band scene. He's on FB if you search 'Signs by Alyerpal'. Not sure about TShirts but he does backdrops, pull up banners, bass drum skins, stickers etc
  19. colleya
    I'll give the drummer that one
  20. colleya
    This is what happened to us, our guitarist is getting more and more frustrated by it. Guess I won't be selling it on the boards here!
  21. colleya
    Yep, I *may* have taken the opportunity to upgrade our tops to the new TS312 with a lot more headroom and a bigger voice coil I'll report back. I know what you mean about losing eq and FX controls but it's an interesting idea about using the UI12 as a sort of FX processor - cheers!
  22. colleya
    Cheers EBS_Freak. We've had a few dropouts at recent gigs and there's a general groundswell of opinion that having physical faders provides quicker and more reliable access for between song adjustments (our guitarist sings a few songs so needs his volume adjusting up and down accordingly). We don't have the luxury of running with a dedicated sound person so any adjustments have to be done on the fly, usually by me. I'm going to hang on to the UI12 but get an analogue desk to see if we find that the loss of more granular eq and effects is offset by ease of operation at gigs. We've got Alto speakers and I've been very impressed for the money (unfortunately the budget won't stretch to RCF/QSC) so I think I'm going to give their 1604 live desk a go.
  23. colleya
    Good point. We don't need power and thanks for the tip. Might be willing to consider the Mackie 806 or 1606 as a halfway house that cuts out the WiFi problem, does anyone have any experience of using one?
  24. colleya
    Having tried to switch to a digital mixer (soundcraft UI12) the band and I are ready to go back to analogue to avoid WiFi drop outs and the faff associated with not being able to just press a physical mute button/adjust a fader. We need: 8 XLR inputs minimum. 3 aux outs for various monitors/in ears - these need to be individually mixable and preferably XLR rather than 1/4 jack. Some form of built in FX/eq - nothing ground breaking but enough to properly eq a kick drum etc. Budget is hopefully around £500 -600 but I honestly don't know if we can get what we want for that so please throw your advice, opinions & recommendations my way. Cheers!

    They are, the kids are doing a fine relicing job on ours. Is yours any good for metal?
