It's too hard to remember the updates and then someone else jumps in and the whole thing gets to be a 7 page mess with not a helluva lot apparently achieved. I would like a pt2 thread that goes to fixing it from where he is at now. It can easily be joined back up when it is resolved.

Everyone is playing to a beat. Groove is someone or everyone not necessarily playing on any particular beat for some or all of their notes. I think Tim is wary of letting just anyone mess with the particulars to suit their own interpretation of what was played or should have been played a microsecond sooner or later than recorded.

Pretty darn sure the 2nd run is 4 semitones from Ab but will have to wait until home time again.

The steam powered motorcycle never really got much of a following. Over here bikers dance with their partners and if the band is any good the mammaries will appear. The UK Harley Owners Club sounds like the last bit might be off the card but I wouldn't discount the possibility of dancing. A marquee is essentially outdoors as far as low end is concerned. If the drummer has a good right foot and you have a bass amp that can keep up you will be ok with a vocal PA. Lots of t crossing and i dotting to get done before you can commit to a price. I wouldn't be too keen to deal with whoever is suggesting all the bands set up their own PA's. Maybe they just need to be steered right or maybe they are an idiot. Hard to tell by email. Better odds going straight back to the committee. Dear HRCUK Rally Committee, thankyou for your invitation to headline your shindig. We are surprised that you would have all the bands provide their own PA. Perhaps you are not aware of the amount of time that would be dead air while bands set up. There are many other good reasons multiple band shows have a sound system with engineer running it, from the smallest of festivals to major events. You really would get much better entertainment value by engaging a local sound provider. Bands will give you much better prices so it may even cost you less in total that way. Our band will give you a price for showing up and playing 2 hours 9 to 11pm as headline act, Hotel accommodation provided for <bandmember list>, of XXX0 squids. We would bring stage amplifiers and drum set for our exclusive use. Vocal PA to be provided by HRCUK. Alternatively our band would be happy to provide a pub venue style vocal PA that other bands can plug into and our sound person will operate. For us to give an accurate quote on that a few details need to be ironed out. No drums or bass will be put in the PA. Bands would need to bring their own microphones and microphone leads as these are high wear personal items. Likewise drummers must bring own snare drum and cymbals. We would provide guitar amps X and Y and the bass amp which other bands are welcome to use. Power of XX kVA must be provided for the exclusive use of the stage. If the other bands are willing to participate under those terms our fee would be an extra XXXX squid. (Make sure there's enough for a new set of drum skins for your drummer in whatever you decide to charge). I assume your PA has a good HPF on board in case someone wants to plug in piano / synth/ band in box tracks.

Groove is not contained in the click unless your groove is straight 1 2 3 4.

You may find that a little hair on your tone is actually what you wanted all along. I know I did and it only took me twenty years to discover. Still clean but definitely hairy. To try that on for size indeed turn up the gain until it sounds bad and then turn it back down a little. Add volume with the master output. @Russ knows what I am talking about.

Ask Korg if the old cabinet tuning works for the new drivers. If not you could retune your old cab to suit and that would probably still be your best bet for the tonality.

Ok, bass in hand. Nah, all kinds of wrong unless you are playing uptuned a semi tone and then still wrong. E D Db C Ab G Gb F Sounds wrong played solo but that's what it is. Friggen geniuses them Cats.

I believe your ears are correct. Not having a bass to hand I am relying on intonating the intervals in my head. The sharpened octave leads back to the root so pretty sure you got it nailed. Tab off the interwebz is frequently a pile of dog doo and likewise not to be trusted as far as it can be thrown.

is required to destroy one. Damn right they can be heavy / heavier / so heavy you would think someone poured a slab of concrete inside to make it unstealably heavy, depending on the particular model. The extra old ones play a cruel joke on the unsuspecting by having the single central strap handle. Many a back thrown out for sure. The later models aren't nearly as unmanageable but still a fair bit more than a 210 worth of struggle. Bridging a stereo amp into a single 210 not advisable. Most amps would have way too much power. On the other hand if, it was lacking input sensitivity with your Sansamp it could balance out. In a rehearsal environment you could get away with single 15 or 210 cab. Putting the cab up on a chair will let you hear it a lot better, and guitarists should do same. No Virginia, no low end is lost! Hearing the cab better means hearing the midrange better and more like it sounds out front. Should be stenciled on the back of all guitar cabs.

Samsamp pedals can only push a fraction of the 'line' level that is standard with old power amps. If you go down that road you want something that switches to .77v input sensitivity. Lower number = more sensitivity less volts required to drive it. I wouldn't discount a big old fridge cab if you plan on leaving it at the space. Just get some help to get it installed. Perhaps I read too much into your post and this is actually your bass rig not your rehearsal space rig.

Good luck with that. Multiple bands will show expecting to use "the PA". Low key is not a synonym for complete lack of organisation. It's nice to be asked, but do you need a gig that badly?

Yeah, nah, not actually. Live and learn. If it was obviously a fragile condenser I would probably move it very carefully. It's not made of glass. But I guess that is a bad idea so if it comes up I will leave it alone.

Them's the breaks working with enthusiastic amateurs. I presume you immediately said stuff it we'll record it all to the drunk drum track like it's 1974 then.

Fair enough explanation.

Any other other situation I am the same. But I am not a complete recording novice and I know in studios instruments are routinely subbed in from the studio stable so my thought on seeing one left out during my session is it is there for my use. Just my representative 10c as a generally very considerate person on what a studio owner should expect from a band showing up. Carte blanche on the studio instruments. Don't leave personal instruments laying around a recording studio if you are going to be precious about someone picking them up and playing them.

It's possible. The sound you are getting is because the headphone interrupt to the speaker has malfunctioned. Otherwise you would be getting nothing at all. Plugging in headphones may or may not help the situation but I wouldn't in case the headphones got sent speaker voltage and that would be real bad.

I haven't spent much time in recording studios. I think if there was a guitar left out I would assume it was there to be played and I might well pick it up and play it without asking first. No way I would leave my private stuff laying around for any old scumbag musician to pick up and play. So I think that one is on you.

Best be clear if you are the sound crew as well as the headliners. Big difference. This doesn't sound like an established biker rally with someone in charge of the entertainment who is engaging bands, crew, security, staging, power yada yada yada.... Be wary or you might be showing up and they ask you where your generator is.

2 months in. 7 pages. I started to read it all again but it's too much. I think a new thread is in order. List all what you tried and what worked a little or a lot and what was shot down. Full gear list.

You are a swimwear model in your spare time. That's a claim too.

Red Dragon. Possibly still available by special order.

At the end of the day a sticker is only an invitation to make an offer.

I was at a gig in an old building that had a bank downstairs. The dance style of the day was 'vertical' and the resonant frequency of the poor old timber floor was reached. The modern ceiling in the bank downstairs suffered. I am sure nobody tried to sue the band, but maybe they would if it happened today???

Ain't no hearing no stink'n' midrange from a 15 when there's a 410 on top of it receiving the same signal.
