The only DAW I have found that lets me do this is Reaper. Some of the grouping arrangements I come up with to help make a mix I am pretty sure you cant do in any other DAW at all. For instance I can make a group at anytime, put in a track with a reverb fx vst, put in a another couple of groups of tracks then change the number of audio channels in each of those groups , then arrange the sends from the tracks in those groups to go through the different channels, and send all of theose channels to the reverb. Why would I want to do this? It solves one of the biggest headaches in using aux fx off groups, that when you change the level of the group fader it doesn't change the level of the track sends to the aux. This may not sound like much, but it is very very significant to me as it means I cna reuse a single instance of a VST for multiple groups, which in turn saves huge amounts of processing cycles :0) For £25 that is simply staggering. Add in the superb fx it comes with, one of the best gates and certainly one of the best compressors (and multiband compressors) and an EQ that is sublime and you can not beat that particular package IMO. The rest of the time I use almost entirely free VSTs, the Bootsy stuff is amazing (not that Bootsy!), Molot is a phenominal drum buss compressor, FishFillets are fantastic, SIR reverb is mind boggling especially since you can now get Eventide H3000 and Acoustica M7 pulses free to run in it![/quote] Thanks for the heads up on Bootsy 51mOn being using Reaper for only 6 months and always experimenting with VST's and his look innerestin here's a link to his blog [url="http://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads/"]Bootsy VST downloads[/url] TuxGuitar is a good alternative to Guitar Pro [url="http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/"]TuxGuitar[/url] and just starting to get my head round MuseScore [url="http://musescore.org/"]Musescore[/url] H[/font][/size]

[quote name='Mykesbass' post='1169874' date='Mar 20 2011, 07:40 PM']Just bought one of these and want to get a larger SD card - unfortunately the first Sansdisk 2gb I put in isn't compatible - anyone know of a source of supply for compatible 1 or 2gb cards - they seem way too small for most suppliers now![/quote] I still find a 1gb card most reliable plus it easier to find stuff to scroll through so I have a couple of cards on the go.

[size=2][font="Verdana"]I included this in my Intoduction post but thought it should live in here. Took a chance on this 5 string allegedly put together by a luthier but no name, I suspect Korean parts sounds good and plays well, ring any bells with anyone to it's origin H[/font][/size]

[size=2][font="Verdana"]Being a Born Again Bassist I have this mish mash of technique going on and thought I'll ask you guy's if you could recommend a must own method book, maybe something that has been around for a while or even a recent you have to have this book, or DVD. I got hold of VW's Groove Workshop recently and just love the 2 thru 10 philosophy that applies to any musician AWESOME stuff. Just want to get my Bass Head in the right place and work on some technique again. My theory is pretty good after playing guitar for 30 odd yrs but don't read, maybe I should start. H[/font][/size]

[size=2][font="Verdana"]If you can find an old VHS vid on ebay Great Rhythm Grooves for electric guitar by Alex Weir he has Louis Johnson supporting him with some great slap playing [url="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Great-Rhythm-Grooves-for-Electric-Guitar/2953685"]Alex Weir[/url] saw The Brothers Johnson at Birmingham Town Hall mid 70's they opened the show with Louis and George groovin' from the stage lift rising to stage level awesome, sat behind Lenny Henry funnily enough.

[size=2][font="Verdana"]Thanks for the welcome fellas no worries on the bass...a luthier friend has it to tweak the nut and give it a set up. Itching to get it back already. Hey Blademan you have a bike in the garage? H[/font][/size]

[size=2][font="Verdana"]Hi all new to Basschat and thought I'd better say hello, what can I tell ya. Ol' geezer played guitar 30 odd yrs played bass in the 80's/90's haven't had one for 15yrs then the voices told me to get one again.Fan of the groove and funk. Got into recording in the last 6 months using Reaper and felt I needed to have proper bass parts so been bidding my time looking for a cheap bass project. Finally dropped on this week allegedly custom made anyone recognise the shape, has a solid Alder/ish body plays well and just what I need. I suspect made from Korean parts but is well put together.Got rolling on building me chops back the last couple of days fingers have started to blister this morning, it's coming. Looking forward to having a root round at Basschat looks friendly to me H[/font][/size]
