A very interesting read!

I've had that heavy duty stuff and it never sticks to the board properly. My board is aluminium so maybe it doesn't like that?

I really think your active pre-amp should be able to cut enough treble for you. If not, yeh, why not an EQ pedal.

I got your PM but i'm not sure I could make it. I'm busy for every weekend for the forseeable future, so I don't really want to vote and mess up the results. I didn't go last year. I think i've been to the venue but I can't remember it.

Sometimes you just need a break!

I've done loads of gigs on this type of circuit - 3 or 4 bands, the headliner provides the bass amp. I've never had a problem, but my pedal board's so huge, I always had to drive to gigs anyway, so i'd always take my full rig. I've never had a soundguy get annoyed with my using my own rig, even when there's a shared rig set up for the other bands. The only time someone told me I couldn't use my own rig was in a battle of the bands, where apparently being able to hear myself would have been an unfair advantage.

Have you read the thread on compressors IE do you know how they work? A limiter is a very specific form of compression. Personally I would find the LMB3 over the CS-3 if I HAD to make a choice, but that's for bass AND guitar! What is the effect you're trying to acheive?

I'll check this out, I always loved his play on earlier incubus stuff. I do really like Crow Left of the Murder (with Ben Kenny isn't it?) but agree the bass is a tad less interesting. It's a different sounding album, and it sounds f***ing fantastic. I even love the bass tone.

ooops! Still looks a good deal but not quite what you're after.

I'm in 3 originals bands but one of them has covered a couple of songs in the past, in a heavier style.

I read this thread the other day, then just noticed [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=106461"]this[/url] on the for sale forum.

I do quite a lot of gigs where we'll share equipment. My band always take everything, but they're never keen for me to set my kit up. Obviously I end up using the sh*tty house kit with dented skins.... But it's never discussed what happens if I put a drum skin through. I've done it before on my own kit, but there's no way i'd pay to replace some pock marked POS on a house kit in a sh*t venue we're playing for free. I wonder where I stand?!

Sounds very interesting!

This thread amuses me!

are level 42 the Dream Theatre of 80s funk?

I really want to put a marshall echohead into a bass, but i'm waiting until I can afford a bass to mess up.

51mon's been giving me loads of help. I've still not had a look at the session file he's sent me, but lessons learned so far: Record in 24bit for more headroom Check you have all your input gain set correctly before recording Tune drums properly Mix better I've always recorded in 16bit and always struggled for headroom on my inputs, and never connected the two. Hopefully this will make setting the gain for each mic channel easier. Also, does anyone else have the M-Audio Delta cards? I'm really confused as to how to set the input gain "consumer, +4db, -10db" are the options. Anyway, I played about and got the setting which seems to give the most headroom. I think it's "+4db" - is that right? And have you used the internal pre-amps on a Delta 1010LT? Are they sh*t or is it just me?
