  1. That's correct I also used their You Tube, demos initially. I have tried different free versions of DAW but couldn't get on with them.
  2. The simple explanation I can offer is that you can do a research on You Tube (some good some misleading tutorials). I started recording when I joined BC and since I've learnt a tiny if information. Before you buy anything make sure your PC, laptop, I pad or whatever you use, the operating system is compatible with the audio interface. What I did, a basic starting point.: I bought an audio interface " Focusrite Scarlett 2i2". It has two inputs. This came with a free DAW, Ableton live. Most interfaces you buy will come with a free DAW. You plug the Focusrite Scarlett to your PC via USB, use the instructions to download package and set it up. ( It comes with a code etc). Next step is to download your DAW to your PC/ laptop or whatever you use , then when you open the DAW you set up the preferences, audio in/out. I found the set up the most frustrating part but there are plenty of tutorial videos online. Once it's all set up and your audio interface is connected . You plug an instrument into the interface audio and begin a new frustrating process of learning how to record etc. You will get there eventually.

    Another moronic delivery by Evri. about two weeks ago they lobbed a heavy item over the fence that landed on concrete patio. Luckily only bent the two brackets that that attach to the rack.
  4. What if it comes with a nice 7 figure bonus?
  5. This, 100% agreed.
  6. Bought Ampeg mini amp from Stevie. Despite the neverending motorway delays , the parcel was delivered. Great communication from the start, parcel safely protected.
  7. Three network- what a pile of shite! Never used to get a decent signal. Skype- was atrocious, the calls constantly froze Anything that has tarragon in it, disgusting herb, I'd rather eat a jar of marmite. Old people's clothes, I will never dress that way.
  8. Ok , you need a tuner, wah pedal, volume pedal, tube screamer, distortion, equaliser, then flanger, phaser,chorus, digital delay, reverb and noise supressor. Plug this end into a Marshall at least 100 w and you're good to go. This is what i do, power chords.
  9. I can see a little future modification if I collected it, LED strip lights in the gap...niiiice
  10. I've used lite with 8 tracks for years. Standard has unlimited tracks and other options available , but if you're just starting out you may prefer a different DAW as Ableton is mostly for electronic music, although I use it for everything.
  11. I have upgraded to Ableton Live standard after many years of using the lite version that only gave me 8 tracks. The only downside of Ableton is that it tends to crash, but you can always recover when it unexpectedly shuts down. I recorded heavy guitar rigs, live drums and works fine paired with Focusrite Scarlett.
  12. The rack effect is a American vertin Aphex Aural exciter powered from 110v supply. So I don't know how it would benefit if I check my current amps fx outputs? Unless I misread what you meant.
  13. Don't get me even started! 😁
  14. I use two amps , one is set to get vintage ,nasally sound no pedals. The other has more treble and a bit of gain, compressor, eq and a touch of presence. I play these together to get the sound I'm after. This is noticeable when both are miced and play through headphones or listen back in DAW.
  15. Cheers, It says at the back of the unit AC 9 w
  16. Hello Nigel, 

    Nice little amp, someone offered me an Ampeg but haven't heard back. If this one is still available I'm interested. Thanks Peter

      Hi, thanks for your message.

      Yes, the amp is still available - I only uploaded the ad yesterday.

      If you would like it that would be great.

      I'm happy to pack and ship to you or you could collect if not to far away.

      Where are you located?

       

      Regards Ron (Nigel is my bass playing mate who sadly passed away last April).

      Oh sorry Ron, I read the funeral threads sorry to hear it. I thought you were Nigel. Anyway, I'm still waiting for a response re Ampeg, if not heard then I'll get back to you. Thanks Peter

  17. Hi, before I electrocute myself I thought I ask a question.i bought a rack effect American version runs on 110 v and of course american plug. Would any step do n adaptor, UK to USA 230v -110 v work like this one thanks.
  18. I think cases are like car modifications.
  19. I think it's important to understand if there is a loss of hearing and/or loss of certain frequencies the final mix won't be perfect. I don't think I am ever happy with my mixes as I know what sounds almost good to me in reality may be a muddy mix. I've recently watched an engineer on you tube explaining a subwoofer. When you hear the bass coming out from the subwoofer, you turn the bass frequency down until you can barely hear it from the subwoofer. My music room is narrower than longer. I made corner bass traps in a shape of a toblerone from rockwool and bass trap panels for front and back wall, and side walls. There is a thread about it in BC. I don't think there is a correct answer as everyone hears differently, I often use a reference song which seems to help a lot.
  20. The answer is : wait.....wait.... Step drill bit... sorted
  21. Old thread but never ending hunt for that Steve Harris sound. Steve has used different rigs over the years, you can tell that each album has slightly different frequency range. Piece of mind is particularly nasally sounding, whilst SIT and SSOASS has contour and bright. I recently added vintage setting on my bass combo for TNOTB sound.
  22. I played quite a few amateur gigs as a teenager in a metal scene in 80's and 89's. Maybe in 80' and 90's, but now, no thanks. As mentioned above being a full time Vs famous? I would opt for the latter. Unfortunately, thanks to AI , I'd say good luck to everyone. It won't be long before you have a hologram band playing in pubs. I can't wait to see one playing locally tbh. Can you imagine a drunk punter interacting with a hologram?
  23. My only concern is, what do they do with the returned products, resale? I know Amazon tends to bin some perfectly new returned item.
