Indeed, as of a few seconds beforehand, thanks to the superb work of my oculist and fine display screen. Beyond that, no.

Good evening, Mark , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Tips..? How about my usual words of encouragement..? ... 'It's the first forty years that are the hardest, after which things sometimes tend to get very slightly easier.'

Pity the poor drummer..!

Badly.

As I did, or I'd never have known I'd not heard of her..!

Never heard her, or of her. I rather think Janis Joplin would have sneered at the notion, and I'm pretty certain Grace Slick never used pitch correction. Joni Mitchell neither; there are some very 'interesting' high-note reaches on a few tracks. It's all up to the artist and the producers, really, and the final decision is whether anyone will buy the stuff produced. The rest is all just talk and bluster.
-
No; up to five notes at a time (five-note chords...) can be programmed into just one (any one...) of the pedals. A different chord can be stored in another pedal. One press and the whole pre-programmed chord of that pedal is sounded. No octopi are hurt in doing this.

There's different 'levels' of singer (and other musicians...), depending on genre. A rap artist would get short shrift at an operatic audition, and vice versa. There's not a lot of DB players here that work in symphonic orchestras, but do well as blue-grass players. What is suitable, or even required, of a pop artist is not the same as a jazz artist, or folk. It's not much cop to compare, still less judge, their respective merits and foibles.

I'm more interested in watching how they each react to the rhythm. All sorts of foot-tapping. The 'bone man has his own notion..!

Nah, they wouldn't leave a bottle of drink on a cab. ... -
In order : Bad, Worse, Awful. Over to you, @Leonard Smalls Edit : Overdrive = 'Too Loud', Distortion = 'Amp/cab needs repair', Fuzz = 'Swarm of Killer Bees Nearby'.

Indeed (I was raised on 'Sparky' and 'Listen with Mother'...); it's the modern 'stuff' I don't get on with, with or without modern, vintage or no Fx.
-
... or was it the other way around..? ...

A very high percentage of whatever I record is virtual instruments, which are, by definition, artificial. Any and all treatment only adds to the artifice; there is no 'original'. It's fastidious to correct any blunders, and I don't always go to any lengths in that respect; in fact, much pleasure can be had in discovering 'blunders' that are better than the original intention..! Any treatment that improves things is Good, as far as I'm concerned. I detest hearing modern stuff with ring-modulator, Vocoder auto-tune Fx, but, then again, I detest much modern stuff without those Fx, so...

I'll just leave this here ... (The cab has the nickname 'Giggles'; the bassist who sold it to me explained that, whenever he would ask for a helping hand with it, all would burst into a fit of giggles ...) -
+1 for the stand linked above ^^. Our keysman has one, for two keyboards and mic boom; it's splendid.

This is American-based, but the principles are the same, just read 240v for 120v. A battery (or two...), an inverter (for converting to 'mains' power...) and an efficient powered cab and you're good to go. Battery to be proportioned depending on autonomy time required. 'Off The Grid' Systems ... Hope this helps.

... which is, when all is said and done, a glorified autotune.

No, I'll not be lending you my amps/cabs, even if you ask nicely. My bass amp (Hiwatt 200w valve amp...) would wreck a 100w cab in seconds at half power. It was designed to power two of these (so four cabs, two each side...), rated at 400w... I used this rig for many years, for PA, in the '70s; it could get very loud indeed. We use the amp now for bass, with an HH 2x15 folded horn, rated as 200w. We rarely get past a quarter on the dial, and I wouldn't want to push my luck with full tilt. The walls would crumble anyway..!

For the studio stud wall, 2x4 might be best..?
-
With a bigger trunk..?
-
Buy a roof rack..?

How can that happen..? Did you not measure it up before starting..? ...
