Stainless steel, I trust..?

It's mid to late evening somewhere in the world at any time, and the seller posts worldwide. Just sayin'.

@Bluewine: Interested..? ...

In short... Yes it will work, and is a Good Idea, with the (slight...) drawback that the bloke on the FOH desk will no longer have control of mix between Fx and 'dry' bass. It may be needed in some venues, to get the best FOH sound. Other than that, go for it.

As would be Basschat, were it not for the vigilance and diligence of the Mod and Admin team. All sites on t'web are bombarded constantly with stuff of the sort; it's up to their teams to make sure that very little gets through, and what does pass, is swiftly removed. It would appear that jmb are less fortunate, s'all..?

12 Mb/s; is that slow..? First the iLok stuff, then 15G to download, over an hour to unpack each of the zips, then wait for each to install itself before setting off the next one. A modest i5 PC, certainly not up to 'gamer' standards, and my disks are USB2 externals, not SSD. Luckily, I'm retired, and could browse/moderate whilst waiting. S'done now, so all is well, but I'm now a day older, too..!

Saumur..? I'll take that, if you bale out..! A shortish drive, but eminently 'do-able'..!

... and I've only just finished downloading and installing them, nearly twenty-four hours later..! They're worth the wait and kerfuffle (and, of course, the modest price...), and I'll certainly be using them often enough, but what a palaver..! Done now, though, so pleased. Thanks again for sharing the link.

Good afternoon, Julien, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I'll find out in another two hour's time, when the beggar finishes downloading its 7.7 Gb..!

Wicked; very wicked. Everyone knows that I'm a sucker for all things orchestral..! Acquired (although a bit of a 'faff' to install the beggars, with iLok hoops to jump through...). S'better be worth it..! (Potters off, muttering to no-one in particular "Wicked man; wicked, wicked man...")

Posts asking for evaluations are systematically deleted, as they easily turn into surreptitious 'For Sale' posts, outside of the Marketplace.

Flying tattie cases..? You've been drinking again, haven't you..?

Bitter..? Me..? Nah; whatever gave you that idea..? ...

But of course, it's Swing, innit..?

How about 'New Venture'..?

Good afternoon, Derek , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

'Useful' is, perhaps, not the right term, for me. All my drum stuff is useful, and I've used the Platinum SSD in a few compos, but not had the occasion to incorporate this SSD5. I gave it a spin on a 'dummy' track, just to see (and hear...) how it went; it went superbly. High quality sampling, 'dry', so future treatment is easy and not pre-coloured, great control over dynamics (as one would expect...). It'll surely feature one day soon, depending on the Basschat Compo Challenge throwing up a suitable vehicle. One cannot really complain at this price point, though; that would be silly. Altogether Good Stuff, and worth the disk space eaten up.

What are these 'fills' of which you speak..?

Good evening, Mike, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Well, without going so far as to condone unwarranted 'nose-thumbing', Richard Thompson continued, and continues to continue, delivering high quality stuff since going solo from Fairport Convention, where he excelled. Worth producing stuff under his own name..? Absolutely. I'd also mention the duo Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, both extremely proficient and important artists as Hot Tuna since the end of Jefferson Airplane.

And are you still seeing the lass..? Our Daughter sings an an amateur choir of some 130 members. Last year's repertoire was a selection of Broadway hits, in historical order, which they performed at a unique occasion at the Mogador Theatre, Paris. Quite apart from knowing that Our Daughter was part of the troop, the whole show was uplifting and joyous, and well worth the 500Km round trip. There's a new show being prepared for next year; we'll be there to see it.
