Very sad news.

We supported the 2 main guys from Miracle Legion last year, and the guitarist used an Epi 339. Sounded fine and he seemed very happy with it. He used it on the Andrew Marr show a couple of months later, if it's good enough for him.....

https://www.charmsagainsttheevileye.band/blog/2017/5/29/blog-post-2 Is another live recording featuring the lunchbox. There's less other stuff going on in this recording, so it's a bit easier to make out.

Rather than moving the bridge towards the nut, how about just getting longer screws for the saddles and a little strip of metal for them to sit on? Oh, and longer springs too.

Very hard to split the top 5 for me. Mine and one other at a lower level of execution. Well done to the rest of you!

Tell me about it!

Good work Douglas, I've missed these pithy reviews. Just for clarification, the "nylon guitar" is my steel-strung Ami parlour guitar The authentic crashes are Paiste 18" thin China, 10 and 6" splash, all Sig series. Well spotted!

Just got this comment from my drummer for this months entry: "Nice intro! Bit of a slow burner. Sounded like porn music at the guitar solo bit! Just add some funky guitar. Ha ha, good effort though. I like the side stick bit:-)" Probably tells you more about him than the music though

Sounds fine to me. I like the insistent bass.

I may have an unused panel mount XLR connector you can have, probably Neutrik. Is it male or female?

Maybe I'm just a bit afraid of the learning curve on my new DAW? I'm sure Blue Oyster Cult would have some sage advice on the matter...

I'm in! Still all done in the box on the R24, not had the time to do the music AND learn how to use Reaper... https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/structure-devine

Isn't that what weddings and Christmas are for...

Like the black tape logo mod

Even the Shuttle 3 is mostly full of air, or possibly Helium

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1502714783' post='3353026'] Not strictly true; it's a 'Balance' control between listening to the interface direct input and listening to the DAW. When playing an instrument, you may want to not listen to the DAW (there could be a delay due to latency, for instance...), in which case you'd dial anti-clockwise to 'Direct'. To hear the result of your input [i]including [/i]any DAW treatment or tracks playing, you'd dial to 'DAW'. Anywhere in between is admissible, of course. Just sayin'; hope this helps. [/quote] Thanks Douglas, I see that now, it was just something I had never paid attention to before, not having a DAW to play with.

Thanks for bringing my slack capitalisation to my attention. I'll try not to let it happen again! Good info on the memory too, it does have 4 memory slots, so 4x 2GB would be doable in the future. All the I.T. spods at work are also agreeing that ssd will make a lot of difference in performance. I'll see how I get on for the time being, I suspect big upgrades would be better spent on a higher level starting point.

Off to a slow start, but at least I can see the tunnel, if not any light emanating therefrom. Got W10 on PC, fresh install. My office PC used to run this fast. Ages ago.... ! Loaded Reaper (evaluation) Loaded drivers for Zoom R24 Recorded 4 drum tracks, bd sn, ohl, ohr Could I get any sound back out? Turns out that the little volume control that sets the click level in stand alone mode acts as a volume for the DAW when used as an audio interface. That took a while! NOW the real learning begins! Wish me luck, I may be gone for some time....

Yeah!! I like dat!

Cheers Douglas, I see what you're saying. I could easily go out and get a whizz bang p c and all the attendant gubbins, but as brx has said in another thread, Spending the dough doesn't guarantee results, and it can be more of a learning experience when you work under constraints. We'll see about that! (Look out for a new pc thread in the middle distance... )

Ok, got w10 on it and 4G ram. I have 2 drives now. System is on c:, d is presently empty 200 G. Should I put Reaper on C: and store audio on d: or put Reaper on d: too, or doesn't it make much difference? Additionally, would adding an old graphics card take a bit of load off the processor, bearing in mind the processor and ram ain't all that. Thanks for your thoughts.

The early Epi I played was a 335 style, the pickups weren't exactly weak, they just sounded woolly and indistinct. The rest of it seemed ok.

looks like I will be starting out with 4 gb when I actually get set up. thanks for the help so far, there will be a lot more to come!
