    Looks interesting. Toft knows a thing or two about recording shizzle. https://www.facebook.com/bassicsamps/?__mref=message_bubble
  2. Yeah, I'd echo that. They are genuine, if a little disorganised. I might be popping in on Saturday, if you need me to chase feel free to drop me a PM:)

  5. Incidentally I wasn't keen on the Presonus, its a great little unit. But, if your running without an engineer I found it a little clunky.
  6. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1452096473' post='2946365'] If that really is the case then IMO that is one of the most stupid design flaws I've ever come across. To get the best out of the device you are either dependant on whatever WiFi network exists at the venue (a really dumb idea) or you need to add your own router which kind of defeats the simplicity and elegance of the unit and adds another unnecessary level of complexity to your setup. [/quote] In reality it works really well. Using a venues Wi-Fi network to run a PA wouldn't be ideal IMHO. In this scenario you're not bound by the manufacturers Wi-Fi router card (which could be of unknown provenance). This can be upgraded as and when needed. As the post above suggests it also means you can place a router exactly where you need it to minimise any interference issues etc. Its one of the reasons I went with the DL1608 over a B[font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]ehringer unit. The ability to control the unit while the iPad is docked is also useful incase the [/color][/font]Wi-Fi does drop out. It also has physical gain trim pots, which also provided some level of safety net if it went wrong. The other thing about the DL1608 is the cost; there are some great deals to be had on the older 30 Pin dock connector version. I've used the Behringer X stuff and its great. One of the bands I work with is upgrading to an X32 Rack. It should be fun when it arrives.But, I'm a bit smitten with the Mackie to have gas to upgrade mine.
  7. The 'My Fader' app is great. I use it so everyone can have their own discreet IEM mix and control it. Works a treat.
  8. BTW you have to supply a wifi router which you connect via cat 5 to the DL1608. Personally I thought this was a pretty good solution as I could use a far better wifi router an place it where I needed it.
  9. I have one. Its awesome. So good to have all that functionality in a small box. I use an Airport Extreme and have never had any issue with the wifi. There are newer models on the market, but there are some great deals to be had on the Mackie.

  13. Sweet water always has some good deals on plugins/software. Have done it a few times and scored some good deals. Also Toontrack are doing deals direct on Ezmix2 and some other bits: https://www.toontrack.com/black-friday/
  14. Awesome. I have a Paulman EUB. I played one of the Paulman strats last night, excellent bit of kit!
  15. Yup, all the GK pubs here are doing it. Ball ache. A few of the GK pubs have refused, but not many. Guys have to normally wait a few days to get paid. A few hiccups have left me a month with no dough from a gig. You end up paying the £3 cost of processing the payment. If the moneys going into your bank account make sure you get an invoice from the others before you pay them. Its not the end of the world, just another hoop.
  16. Thanks for sharing! Here's the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06h2v1q about 36 minutes in

  18. Just signed up for this: https://promo.audient.com/groupbuy Looks like it might be a pretty good deal if they get enough students/educators to sign up. Incidentally it has the same preamps as the Audient ASP4816 that we have in our main room at work: https://audient.com/products/asp4816-compact-analogue-recording-console
  19. The edu sub pricing is £70 a year: http://www.jigsaw24.com/avid-pro-tools---student-/-teacher-subscription-licence/pro-tools-software/-/fcp-product/24367
  20. My 70's type jazz has arrived. Its much better than the bass I started on 25 years ago! Its got a bit of a dip half way down the neck and the action is a bit high. Also under the control plate is miss routed and the neck plate is a bit wonky. But, it sounds pretty good, is fun to play and cost £31. Can't complain for the price.
  21. The guys in the staff room at work and I have brought a few Dekos this week. So far 3x Uke Basses, 1x Progressiv, 1x Jazz, two cheap nylon strung acoustics and a fretless 5 acoustic. 8 in total. The Jazz hasn't arrived yet. The Uke basses are great with minor finish issues. The fretless 5 acoustic has a hump at the 10th -13th fret on the g string (going to sand this out hopefully). The Progressiv has a few frets that need seating and a good fretdress and polish is in order. The nylon strung acoustics were £8 and play great for the price of a couple of pints. Just paint overspray and other minor cosmetic issues.
