Aye, from my souces (not kevin) the fella who runs the course is a businessman through and through. I know a couple ex-employees of his too. The stories change but knowing the guitar, bass and drum tutors there almost all personally i know there are some scarily good musicians teaching there.

[quote]Not cheap, but 'BFD' gets my thumbs up. All the stuff on my Kaos 7 myspace uses BFD. (see sig)[/quote]

I know one of the engineers who recorded one of the packs for this software. Its all hypersampled so what you get for your money is:

-some of the best drums/kits around

Recorded with:

-some of the best mics around

In:

-the nicest studios around (Air in london for the work he did)]

I have played with it and was blown away.

[quote]In a similar vein, it occurred to me that I don't go into SC as I did my local music shops when I was younger because they don't do lessons. Seriously, if they had 'Local Academies' or whatever that taught too then they'd have a lot more people through their doors, which eventually means more sales.

Of course for those branches that are based in city centres space may be an issue, as would transport be for those on industrial estates.

hmm, perhaps not then.[/quote]

The one in edinburgh is running HNC courses and freelance lessons. Kevin Glasgow is one of the tutors so the standard is not to be frowned apon. Glasgow are opening up their own academy for the next academic year.

Do it man,

Mario - the bass player and my tutor at uni - is an utter monster on the electric and upright.

Jazz bass, Plectrum.

Sounds to me as if its sort of a nice flat natural jazz bass with some treble rolled off (my jazz is super bright with any treble).

He is quite an agressive player so i imagine that helps.

1 x T005 Epson offical Cartridge. Foror stylus printer or similar. Colour.

2 x Third Party C62 cartridge. Colour.

Free to a good home as they are no use to me.

That will be a blinder. Not got tickets but do fancy it

Thats aweful.

As kiwi says, sometimes you just gotta put it down to experience, take the hit and walk way hopefully making even...

Good luck

Garry

Just easier for me to get the sound and feel i like from my basses.

G

A 1u fx processor as seen here:

[url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1633"]http://www.samsontech.com/products/product...cfm?prodID=1633[/url]

Some cool fx but nothing i use very often. Works fine and comes with power supply.

Ok, final bump before ebay

£70 shipped.

[quote]The reason behind the statement is that the majority of the gig going public don't realise that a band with bad equipment may sound bad for that reason. A colleague of mine (who is a fantastic engineer) was actually assaulted by a punter who punched him on the nose, because the guitars weren't audible. Fact was that the guitarist was using a horrendous crate amp and kept turning the amp up and down mid song.

A good band, in contrast, is NOT hard for ANYONE to do sound for.[/quote]

I disagree

a good engineer with a bad desk/pa/band will sound good. A bad engineer with all the best gear and bands wont.

Just my opinion.
