Do you mean install the program and everything on the external drive and run it from there, or simply have the samples/recorded bits and so forth there?[/quote] Just your recorded Audio data/Samples etc...and your Project folder for the Sequencer that you will be using.... [this will store all information relevant to your sequencer recordings].. And well worth checking out the link i posted above... A lot of eye candy stuff on windows XP....that reallly slows down the system when working with audio. If you Get a Audio ready system from a know music/audio dealer...they would have already done this.. Its amazing how much extra performance you can get after a XP tweek.. Garry

Also a good idea...is to use a external hard drive for your audio...it takes the load of your system drive... and Sequencers like this...you get better performance... If your Laptop does not come Audio ready , you might wanna look at this site for tweeking you operating system for the best Audio performance... [XP].... [url="http://www.musicxp.net/tuning_tips.php"]http://www.musicxp.net/tuning_tips.php[/url] also Vista does not seem to be upto par at the moment...for Audio.. Lot of problems with drivers from 3rd party software companies... This is assuming you are going the Windows route..and not Mac.. Garry

Comming from a Groove Backgound all my life... Thought i would have a go at something out of my league...! Does anyone know of any good on-line sites for tips on classical composing and arranging.. or any decent books....? I am sure i have broken all the rules ...but here you go.. my attempt [attachment=3136:Tenderho...mix_4_01.mp3] Garry

Thanks' chaps.... Garry

Looking down the neck towards the headstock... which way to loosen the rod...? The neck is very flat , and i like a small amount of bow. wanna be sure before i move it. Always had rod's adjusted from the headstock end. Garry

[url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/visual-sound-visual/jul-07/29674"]http://www.bassplayer.com/article/visual-s...al/jul-07/29674[/url] Some Punter's reviews here. But this is for the older model that i have..[green led's ] Harmony central is a bit mixed [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Visual+Sound/Visual+Volume+VV10+10th+Anniversary+Edition/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...rsary+Edition/1[/url] I must say i have had no problems in over 8 years of use with my one ...might have been lucky. But the light thing...has come in useful for dep's on any show i have been doing.. The pit can be a dark an lonely affair..so some visual guide at what volume to play..can come in handy...i just write the number onto the part for some kind of reference.. Then they wont have some lunatic MD screaming at them...when they have enough on there plate..!! As for a difference in sound.. i cant say that i have noticed.... Maybe it's because i aint been using my ears.. Enjoy the Ernie Ball. Garry

Of course 'Wild Thing' got played over the pub speakers and my mate in a loud voice shouted "I love The Stones"[/quote] This is really weird...i was in a pub lock in with The Guitarist from the Trogg's in Andover...!!! When was this...??? Unless he does this all time...to tell the 'Troggs in the studio story' Garry

[quote name='1976fenderhead' post='46416' date='Aug 16 2007, 01:27 PM']I know i could, that's why I might still get it Still is gay though... But have just checked reviews and it seems they're not that good anyway... And if it's wider, no chance...[/quote] Not sure what reviews you have read..... I have had one of these for years....and they are great...[i know plenty of people who love em..] As for being gay...use it without the 'gay' lights on. They also have a very smooth foot action.Which is great if you are wearing pink light weight slippers. Garry

On a wedding gig a long while back..... And the grooms mother said... Can you do .... 'Go on...now go' We were not sure if she ment...I will survive ... Or , on your bike lads [and girls]....! Garry

[quote name='TimmyC' post='68259' date='Oct 1 2007, 05:21 PM']Sound clips?[/quote] I think it will just sound like whatever Bass you put through it...i think.... Because that is the idea....the true sound of your Bass. Most other DI Boxes are not any good at that... certainly the one's in my Experiance [ they tend to sound very thin] Anyway this is my Singlecut Rim Bass on a rehashed bit of Library Music i done. [its been re uploaded to my Space] Just The back Pup in dual coil mode...run Passive.. Warwick Black label strings [45-135] and high action. [attachment=2573:TOTALLY_BAZAAR.mp3] Alex...your Rim is Looking the Business....Good one..!! I mean You Rim Bass...... Garry
