Not the easiest load in is it 🤣

Actually saw someone get the same effect on an Les Paul by switching between pickups (one must gave been turned down) on friday. Unusual technique for blues rock.

The guitar sound is a killswitch. Not a fan of their music, but the ad is honest and not patronising or too arsey. The guitarist's hair looks a bit short to me. Would my ponytail be acceptable?

It does seem crazy that a song written by a freed slave and that was banned by the nazis should be dingled out as politically incorrect.

I haven't used my pedal board for a couple of months...

OK. I'm a Gnome convert...

Agreed! My GoPro would be fine to do what was originally asked.

Yep, it gets confusing when you are using, say 12/14/16-bit RAW or TIFF and 24-bit jpegs, but the Jpeg has the smallest gamut. The real issue is the video formats, most cameras can do much more bit depth (my mono astro cam is 12 bit) for greater dynamic range. I suspect the GoPro gets greater bit depth images and plays with the data to maximise the dynamic range over 8 bits for jpeg and mpeg as many cameras and phones (with HDR type processing do real time processing is ridiculously capable these days). For planetary images I generally use 8 bit video (as it speed up capture, ideally going for high two or even three figure frame rates), as we stack multiple frames, and a couple of thousand is equivalent to 19-bit depth...

More like Calypso than blues 🤣

Actually it's 8 bits per channel, which is 24-bit total or just under 17 million colours.

Last night was a small club venue, stage cluttered - even had a bagged up double bass in one corner and a piano in the other. Started with a small but enthusiastic criwd, who then grew to a full house for the second hot sweaty set. My predecessor with the band was thete and was very kind praising my sound and dancing with his wife. Today was Caerleon Arts Festival. Lots of angst as last year pa was poor. No worries as it turned out to be excellent. We went down a storm. Soundman told me I sounded like Jack Bruce which has made my year 😎

Luvvit!

I gigged mine through my AT212 to see if it was up to it. It was great.

I recorded this with a go prounder next to the pa stack last saturday. Image quality excellent, sound not too bad.

I always think Nik Turner should do a duet with Annie Lennox.

Just Marc

Marc, he's a drummer and restaurateur. Runs a posh pizza place with their parents.

Bands who play to the end of their slot as if they can clear the stage in 0 minutes.

We got told we were too loud at a villager festival. Our sound guy (guitarist's dad) had to forcibly point out that standing in front of the PA wasn't the best place to see if the sound was too loud for the neighbouring houses 100m away.

I'm friends with his brother on FB 🙂

If it eats you, take the string tree off, and put a thick washer under it to raise it slightly.

At a Beer Festival last weekend:

At least, set to allow embedding:

That's been pretty much standard since the 80s, although these days many venues won't.

Still exploring some options, looking at a gig to follow on the same day same venue...
