[quote name='mikel' timestamp='1492276688' post='3279174'] I quite like Joni, but as soon as she starts shooting up a vocal octave in random places, as she is wont to do, I switch off. [/quote] Lucky for you she doesn't do it on that tune! Phew!

Do you not use your R24 as a control surface? If you have and don't rate it, I'd be interested to know, as I may be doing that soon.

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1492240863' post='3278833'] Cheers! And you're right... The mix sounds much wonkier on small speakers than it did on my monitors - and it's worst at the beginning. [/quote] I get this a lot too, the mix sounds decent on the studio monitors, then you play it on something "inferior" like my home cinema system, and suddenly you hear some right howlers! I need to put some rubbish speakers up in my studio for mix checking, keep meaning to get round to it. Monitors and headphones doesn't cover all bases.

What a great snare sound!Nice playing all round.

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1492203054' post='3278722'] Prince said this was one of the albums he liked all the way through. I love it too but it gives me the strangest feeling when I listen to it. I wonder if Joni put any subliminal stuff on it? [/quote] It could be that the imagery is so strong it affects your noggin deeply. The lyrics and music are so deeply integrated, the whole effect is more powerful than the individual elements, and that somewhat transports the listener into the narrative. Or something.

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1492185756' post='3278575'] I started off with 1 line - "Death From Above", and a slightly Phrygian bassline. Then the guitarist from my newly formed band came round, we had a fiddle and somehow it became our eponymous debut song. As we don't have a singer, and our drummer was on his hols, all those bits are down to me (I have to do everything, me!). So I spose it counts as an entry to the compocompo as that was the initial inspiration! And can I just apologise to those who think there's rude words in it, there isn't though it's a touch suggestive if you can hear it. It's just my diction is poor! And I'll apologise to everyone else because of the racket...

The mix sounds a little wonky though, the guitar and drums aren't quite integrated with the vocals, or something. Just rambling, a bottle of Cloudy Bay to the good... hic!

The Hissing of Summer Lawns does it for me. I can't imagine many folks not feeling chilled out after listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erQUlp6GYno

Is there going to be a new noodle thread each month? It might be useful to remind us to do new ones regularly. I find months go by with nothing done unless I get the occasional prod...

No, I mean this shape: http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_gold/auc-ksound/images/PICGBGG50H.jpg

Good work that man!

Definitely worth trying. The small extra load may just tip the Line6's psu into protection/current limit/shutdown or whatever mode.

Isn't there a Goggle-Eyed Git?

I hear "Hey there Georgie girl" in the first line of CamdenRob's ditty. Makes me think of summer, so, job done!

Here's mine, still enjoying the bass wah on the new Zoom R24... https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/april-noodle-2017

Maybe J Mascis charges a lot to sign them ?

I've had this in a bass amp before, and it turned out to be one of the larger resistors in the power stage which was standing off the pcb unsupported. What happens is the vibration eventually caused an annular fracture on the solder around the leg, sometimes causing a rustling sound. I'd recommend looking at the solder joints on the larger components and just reflowing them, and then supporting them if they aren't already using silicone sealant to stop the vibration, or at least raising the resonant frequency much higher. Many manufacturers use hot glue, I prefer silicone sealant as it has better adhesion and much higher temperature handling. It just takes longer to cure, probably why it isn't as widely used in mass manufacture.

Areyou using the Stingray? I imagine an unfinished neck will suffer more than one with a ton of varnish/lacquer/whatever.

Roland micro cube can be battery powered. Popular for busking, I understand.

The socket in the link is mono, as long as the bass is passive, that will do the job.
