Nail Soup

Fad Gadget has passed me by somewhat , so I listened to @Leonard Smallspost without comparison the the original. Gave it a 'like'. Now I've listened to the original plus a couple more. Good stuff also. Thanks both!

Some people were saying in a different thread(s) they don't like Hacket's singer. Maybe that's not a viewpoint shared by all. Why wouldn't you like to see the Genesis shows (out of interest)?

I guess either show will be a bittersweet experience for a Genesis fan🙁

Dokken. 😉 Mötley Crüe. 😉

I’m liking the dark theme. However……… on my iPhone when I get a notification thingy at the bottom ( eg someone has replied, someone has reacted etc) I’m struggling to ‘press’ it, and end up making B I hating some other way. maybe it’s just me and my fat thumbs!

I notice Jon Moss is not in the promo pics - some kind of falling out I understand.

So I've used pitch correction, and seen the 'blobs' produced by melodyne analysis. They tell you the nearest note of each blob , and how many 'cents' it was off. My question is how many cents off would a typical 'good' singer be most of the time? Are they pitch perfect, or just close enough? And what is close enough? (Not necessarily rhetorical questions.... if anyone has an answer would like to hear it!)

No, neither as performer or punter. My main band is now drummerless and the other guys don't want to carry on - so no gigs forthcoming. My other band - maybe I'll hear something from the BL. As a punter I already missed one as the rescheduled date clashed with a rescheduled holiday. First world problem! I have a few 'delayed tickets' , I think one is coming up soon. Double jabbed, but still nervous about the old infection rate.

Maybe a bit peeed off that it's the Steve Jones story and not the John L story.

And slightly heavier too most likely!

I rarely use effects on bass. A lot of genres don’t need bass pedals. A lot of players who try pedals end up going straight to amp. However it is worth trying them out in case it works for you…. but nothing expensive, just a cheap zoom multi effect or similar. Then you can get rid or upgrade as appropriate.

That’s an impressive achievement. Although Carol Kaye will probably claim some of those were her😃

I used the Melodyne in this months Composition challenge...... was pretty easy to use, but not sure what effect it had on overall quality of the track!

I'm fortunate that my punk/new wave band features pretty much songs I enjoy playing AND listening to. The one that fits most to the OP question would be 2-4-6-8 Motorway by TRB. Although I've seen it on peoples 'don't like to play ' list!

Maybe an indication of the expected quality of entries?😃

Yes, that boils my wee wee too. I like a lot of small bands, so I side-step the issue by sticking to those for gigs.

Why is it bizarre that @skankdelvarhas given some good advice?😃

Coming in early to get ahead of some days away. Blurb: At first I thought the door was in a mirrored wall... so I based the lyrics around seeing a mirror Vs door as a metaphor similar to glass half empty or full. Also went for a more reflective feel in the music. End of Blurb Technical notes: Studio One DAW. Studio One drum app loaded with “Red Zep” drum sounds, programmed via piano roll. Vantage Bass. Squier Tele guitar. Studio one piano and organ played via Akai Mini Play keyboard. Hudson Ukulele. Sure SM 58 Mic. Used a couple of new (to me) DAW techniques: ‘Automation’ to control an effect pedal off/on and control volume up/down on one element. The other new technique? Whisper it........ Autotune! (well it's some form of pitch correction anyway)

Wow, that's tough. Life, eh? Best wishes. Hope you'll find some way to stay in music.... as you've already seen, you can get loads of ideas from the BC 'ers.

Thornalley went on to join Johnny Hates Jazz!

Coincidence? I reckon Gallop has gone to his dream gig of Steel Panther.

If the bass is a WASHburn?

I might even go so far as a bit of cheerful whistling during this stage!

Yes, makes you proud to be British don't it guv😀
