so I have an update on the MI Pro 58 system. I was making a showreel on wednesday and was using the MIPro system and my wireless sennheiser mic. The videographer/ soundchap had my tracks playing thru a monitoring system, with my vocals. The very very slight latency in the system made my voice sound like it had 'chorus' on it (which is a delay based effect IIRC) This isn't a problem live as the PA is normally in front of me and I will continue to use them. I'm about to 'rack' the sender and the Sennheiser receiver to make my setup/teardown easier the headsup here being, if you have onstage monitoring as well as IEM, you may hear the effect too

superb, I remember it like it was yesterday

didnt know Alan Knight was still working. Nice job there

can I see a Nile Rodges hitmaker there

yes agreed, am looking now

probably but I dont have a lot of time. I have found a couple of studios locally, that seem to offer this. Am chasing them up right now I want to put in a professional looking thing

Hi there I need to put together a showreel, of my singing and performing, for a job I want to audition for I have no idea where to start any ideas please

I've used ACS for 20 years now. In my bands it's all In ear monitoring but if I dep on bass, out come the ACS I take em to normal gigs as a punter too, just in case it's a bit loud

I do like a PRS. 20 or so years ago I bought this on Ebay. It's a long story but the guy bought it to replace a PRS that got lost/stolen while he was touring. The lost guitar he actually bought from my brother in 1991/92. There'a book called the ultimate guitar and there's a double page spread picture of a vintage yellow PRS signature guitar. This was my brother's guitar. He was telling me his guitar had been lost and was in a book called the ultimate guitar book I said, that was my brother's guitar, he said is your brother called Clive? Yes

how did I miss that!!

So he learned by flipping a righty over. Same as Mr Lee Pomeroy, Eddie Wheeler from Vanity Fair too

Again, sorry for your loss. This is something I was going to do a few years ago. I even started analysing my left (fretting hand) position whilst playing and tring to copy it with my right. I just flipped my bass over and tried to do simple things. I was going to buy a left handed shortscale, to see how it went I didn't bother in the end but it is worth doing and I often think about trying it again. Imagine how cool it would be to flip to LH when playing a beatles song or two I did actually meet someone, a few years ago, who was learning to play left handed because after a badly undiagnosed broken wrist (his dad was a Dr. and said it wasn't broken) he couldnt move his wrist properly after it had healed, so he chose to start to learn LH Give it a go for sure

last night, 9 o'clock start, town centre in Deal Kent. All we needed was a dog!! (we had the 'one man') luckily 2 or 3 songs in it got busier and I managed to do the whole gig standing up, this was a little win for me. 2 x 1 hour sets of banging 80s choons

There was a local drummer who had a white one (back in the day) and IIRC it was the brain child of the drumming legend Chris Slade (strangely also local)

Souled out to funk

I bought some strings from Chris, good comms and strings turned up, nicely packed too Deal with confidence Thanks Chris

Sounds promising Jack, hang in there

Sloppy work, well done🤣

cool, I might look into one, great info thanks Jack

sounds great. Does the harmony pedal create 3rds and 5ths etc I have the TC electronics harmony G but last time I used it, I found it a bit too complicated

crikey, that is taking it seriously. Do all the mics go into the required pedal first, then off to the mixer?

do you have a mic mechanic? I'm curious now

hang in there Jack, we're all rooting for you

that's very disappointing. My first one went wrong on it's first gig, the replacement has always been superb.
