SSL are doing discounts on various plugins. I must admit, if I could get their X Saturator in a pedal I would be very happy indeed.

Fair play, this is quite a track!

Thanks. I had not considered the guiro option.

Don't get me wrong, I feel your pain! It was the sound I had been wanting to get down onto "tape" for a long time.

I left it because he did frankly astonishing things with the vocal. I had been working with her for perhaps 40 years and NEVER heard her as good. Nor since, sadly.

I have never liked it. Or in reality never managed to make it work for me. But then I bought a Spectracomp where someone else had done all that pesky programming. So I am fine with it. I also recorded some stuff and my bass and preamp sounded fabulous in the rough mix. Just like I dreamed it would. Then I was handed the final mix and it sounded like a bass. Not in a bad way, but not in the way I was hearing it in my head. This could have been EQ, but there was a healthy dose of control going on. I do not love compression, but I guess it has to be there.

I would still venture the opinion that any amp is fine with an fdeck preamp in front of it (as long as you would be happy to gig it with a plank). This has been my personal experience.

At the risk of getting the thread locked, so do I.

I love a good cliffhanger before the next episode!

Here they are with a pair of 7As for scale.

If you are recording audio then an iPad hard drive is going to fill up astonishingly quickly.

That is cracking.

Ooooh Ooooh. A preamp I have not tried! <scoots off to read up on it>

I am very much looking forward to reading this report.

Lovely, honest piece of wood.

I bought a box full of 2nd hand drumsticks to use at work. In amongst them there were two sticks which were thinner and lighter. No tip, the same at both ends. I thought they were timbale sticks but timbale sticks they look heavier. What are they? I would post pics but they are in Church at the moment. I am not a drummer but can imitate one and can hold down a beat. We use an electric kit there - mesh heads. Playing it with these ultra-light slightly bendy sticks of wood is SO much nicer than proper sticks. But what are they?

Really interesting to see proper measuring doobries telling the truth about amp outputs. I would like to see one doing bass amps.

I bought an active 5 string one in an Ebay accident. I chamfered the forearm and did a belly cut. You are correct.

I am married to a harpist so am fully licensed to use and adapt harp jokes. You would spend 95% of your time tuning and 5% of your time playing out of tune.

If only selling was as easy as buying.
