  1. I'm still sat there. (Hello..? Is there anyone here..? Hello..? Could someone help me up, please..? Hello..? Hello..?)
  2. I've most of McLaughlin's stuff; I saw the first Shakti mouture, with percussionists Zakir Hussain (on tabla) and Vikku Vinayakram (on Ghatam) in 1974. Amazeballs, really amazeballs. They, collectively, rate right up there with Schubert and Bruckner, for me.
  3. If only you'd said earlier (about half a century earlier, in fact..!). (Although there's a noted guitarist that does some wonderful stuff tweaking the keys..!)
  4. It would appear, having read the article, that there are ongoing expenses incurred, building village homes, for instance, and having a new water reservoir built for future festivals. Expenses already committed, and rather medium/long term, and so 'dependant' on the continued festival income. I may have mis-read, but that's the gist of it.
  5. Massively; a demi-god.
  6. Good evening, Davide, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  7. Yeah, but it's protein, man. Y'gotta have protein, right..?
  8. Yay..! Another win for The People. Now then, Freedom of Movement... That should be a doddle in comparison.
  9. Being a drummer, what do I care..?
  10. Yes, and a small bottle of school milk, whist we're campaigning..? Who's stupid idea was it to stop that..? When is that coming back..?
  11. SatNav..? SatNav..? What is this strange turn of speech, young Padawan..?
  12. Yes, I understand the issue, but if it's done and dusted, what needs doing to get it changed, and will that happen..? If it's not going to change, when does one accept that fact, if at all..?
  13. It's just as easy to say when living in North Wales, or Sunderland. I'm not considering my own situation; I'm well past international gigs now.
  14. We'll come back to the issue in a century or so, then, for a progress report.
  15. But why, though..? Notwithstanding the rights or wrongs of the issue, surely there comes a point whereby one has to accept that it's a Fact of Life, like it or not, and move on..? I'm not suggesting that the cause is not just; merely that, maybe, it's a Lost Cause, and energy expended towards it is energy wasted. A darned shame, but such is Life, no..?
  16. What is this 'circulation' of which you speak..? ...
  17. I sit on the floor.
  18. Band In A Box 2021
  19. Here is my contribution to the January 2021 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Doctor J..! Inspired by opposites, this month, with the thought that this little fellow is having a great time, and feeling pretty lightweight. That's what I've wanted to portray, in simple terms; just the sheer glee of the falling drops. Sparse..? Yes; one guitar, two harps (all virtual...). Mixed in Reaper (what else..?), with no treatment whatever. Just a plain, simple mix. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.
  20. This is fine if, as per the OP, there is only one track in the project. For a multi-track project, cutting the tracks ('S' shortcut...), selecting the cut sections and copying / pasting these into a second, empty, project would be my suggestion. Just sayin'.
  21. That's excellent. Well done, old chap. You are now at least partly responsible for my searching for (and hopefully, finding...) a similar Good Deal to upgrade my Alesis Nitro Mesh kit. GAS..? Possibly...
  22. Good morning, PJC, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  23. You do, indeed, need to put the speaker in a box. It may sound good like that, but it will sound so much better in a box, and it'll damage itself if you use it much in the open like that. (How do I know..? Don't ask..! I, too, was young, foolish, unexperienced and broke, once...). Once you get a box, the important part is to make sure that there's a good, airtight seal between the rim of the speaker and the box, and the the speaker is securely bolted to the box. You can try an experiment, whilst waiting. Find a stout cardboard box, of any reasonable size (roughly a 30 cm cube or so; it's not critical...). Cut a hole in one face, perfectly round, and just the size for the speaker to nestle into, supported by its rim. Feed the cable through the back of the box, and listen to the difference when the speaker is firmly in the hole, and when it's lifted out. It should be quite conclusive. Worth a try..?
  24. The 'standard' way of using it would be to plug the Output Left/Mono into the input of the amp. Fx Send and Return are for adding further Fx. Leave that for now, and just use the Mono Output.
  25. But the cost of running one's business can be worked into one' s selling price. T'would have to be the same price, card or cash, of course.
