    Funny you should say that, we just did one:

    Not really - they'd look silly on video and also there are two of us...

    Hi! So yes - what it says up there. My musical comedy duo have started doing regular-ish live-ish youtube videos, for which i got lots of help on the recording forum to make the sound better by going into a behringer UMC404HD 4 input audio interface, which is working well! But now we need to be able to hear it properly. As we're using a Zoom B3n and a POD for bass and guitar, plus backing tracks, its easier to DI into the audio interface and then use whatever amps to hear what's coming out the other end. Currently we're using a cobbled together mess of a Stagg acoustic practice amp and a Warwick BC15.1 to hear ourselves, which sounds predictably pants, and makes mixing and editing more of a faff... So i'm thinking either a little PA, one of those 'two speakers and a box with knobs on' jobbies, or some 'Studio Monitors', aka jumped up PC speakers. Basically they need to be able handle Di-ed bass without going PTHHBBBOOORP. And sound ok not-super loud as this all happens in my living room and i live in a flat! Thanks!

    Vintage Trouble - i think you have just found my new favourite band for me! But then they had me at the opening guitar riff, the jumping around is just a bonus! I just went to see this lot: I guess its as much about theatre as musicianship? There's room for both i guess? I mean, i loved going to see the Dap Kings and Sharon Jones because of their whole old-school show-biz 'Hey there ladess and gennulmen!' shtick as much as the musuc but equally was quite happy with the JAMC just standing there hunched over pedal boards going 'WOHHAAAAARRRGGGGEEEE!!!!' ;D

    Hi! So i'm already in a band but... a: we don't gig much and b: i'd really like to network a bit through the local music scene and i sort of mostly don't know anyone. So - i am an adequate bassist, have transport, also play guitar adequately and keyboards not very well! Music-wise, i'm pretty open minded, except i really don't like ska. Ideally i'd be up for disco, p-funk, retro rock and roll type stuff, electronica non-grunty metal, that sort of thing. You can hear and see me playing adequately here: https://www.youtube.com/user/FunnySongsOrElse/videos Please PM me here! Thanks!

    I get running a Dell mini tower thingy into a mixer and then bass amp (never mind why). A DI box with a ground lift button in between the computer and the everything else sorts it...

    Interesting answer on the netbook as i was about to jump in with that too! After being helped on here and getting a behringer umc404hd so that i could record multiple tracks at once, i got annoyed with my desktop PC making amps do buzzing and resurrected my venerable HP compaq mini110 with windows 10 (and everything windowsy switched off!) and REAPER to record live guitar, bass and singing along with normally 2-4 tracks of backing track. It totally works...

    Oops, i forgot to do this! Tony bought my digitech BSW - paid immediately, very quick comms! Would deffo sell to / buy from again!

    So i got the behringer thingy! First impressions are that its great, does what i want and as a bonus, makes Netflix sound a lot better!
  10. operative451
    I'm fine with Behringer - my hearing is rubbish and we're using it for stuff like this to get a better sound than just off the camera...:
  11. operative451
    All at the same time yes - I know, text is a bit impersonal isn't it! That behringer thingy could be the one! Thanks!

    Ok, so just for my blood pressure/mental health/general rage issues - if i want to be able to record; Vocal mic Guitar Bass against a backing track produced in FL studio (ideally not mixed down so say 4 tracks of audio) All at the same time, and don't want to spent lots of money (say around £100 max) - is there a thing and what should i buy?
  13. operative451
    I'm using ASIO 4 All.. So far the best i've got is getting FL Studio to recognise all the input devices at the same time (hurrah!) but it will still only let me record from one at a time.. (booo!)
  14. operative451
    Ooh, that last bit could work - i'll give it a go, thanks!
  15. operative451
    Thanks, i found that previously - it fell down at the 'can only record from one device at a time part though! I was hoping to get 3 or 4 tracks recording at the same time from different devices...

    Hi! Ok so, i have: a USB mixer that does a stereo out to PC. A griffin imic USB that lets me do stereo to PC A built in sound'card' with stereo line in. My PC has Audacity, FL Studio, Sonus Studio One, and Ableton Live 9 lite Is there any way of making any of the above programs (or anything else, i know REAPER is popular around these parts!) record from (ideally) any two of the USB inputs at the same time? I'd like to run guitar, bass and mic all in together on separate tracks. Thanks!

    One of these: http://www.m-audio.com/products/view/keystation-mini-32 Bought to use on travels with my laptop, couldn't get on with using software to make noises (i like standalone gear). Mint condition, with cable, and i'll also make sure i send the download blurb and activation serial number for Ableton Live lite. £20 including UK postage

    Turn it into a studio/practice room? Heater, Tower PC left on will heat and dry the air...

    So i got fed up with lugging a board about and bought a multi-fx.. Um... Then this happened.... The fuzz and 'plexi' come from the bass, go into the little mixer and out to the Zoom. A keyboard goes into the Nux, which is being a looper (mostly) and then into the wah, then to mixer and zoom... And since the pic, i stuck a tuner in after the drives to easily mute the bass. Um...

    Anyone else think this sort of non-story is just click bait for brexiters*? 'PC gone mad!!' Yzwn... Clearly the BBC website is trying to snag views from the daily fail.. *yes i did that deliberately.
  21. operative451
    And its gone!

    Having a bit of a pedal clear out! There don't seem to be many/any of these around - Digitech Bass synth Wah pedal, works perfectly, gigged gently once, some sticky stuff marks from being on a pedalboard but that's it. £45 includes UK postage. Thanks for looking!

    Ooh, i've not been aware of the Soap girls - like those a lot, thanks!!

    Hello rhythmically low oscillatory humans! So yeah, been away, went a bit mad again as one does occasionally, got better, got bored, went on forum. In between i've been listening to a load of grunge again... Particularly the more riot grrl end - Hole and the Breeders, stuff like that. Good wasn't it? And there's a new Breeders record out!! Oh, ok, that's how you do youtube now. That was easy! Its got the same 'sound'! That sort of muddy but clear tone, kind of almost phasey... See also Hole's 'Violet'... I suspect it resulted originally from everything being recorded on a portastudio held together with duct tape, but if anyone has any clearer insight onto how they got that sound, i'd love to hear...

    Ladytron - saw them supporting Goldfrapp at the Eden Project in 2006. Sort of a female petshop boys with kind of Vulcan barely withheld cold rage...
