That ones even worse than 'please ignore', a real ear worm..... 😉

Oh i hate that song as well

Another nod to New Moon Musical Insurance.

Nowadays rather boring. Pack up, beer (or rum at drummers house), then home for marmite on toast and a wind down. . But if I may reminisce for a moment.. In the 90s at a gig in Aberdeen I was doing the sound for, me and the lighting guy somehow ended up at a local party, drinking JD sat on the roof (as in through the sky light, on the ridge) with a couple of locals, happy pills then ended up walking through Aberdeen old docks at 6 in the morning to watch an amazing sunrise. I can still see it now. I'll not mention Amsterdam.. Oh how times have changed

Not so much songs, but the genre of House music with inane 3 chord house piano on. I worked on a lot of these and it killed a little bit of me inside every time. 18 hours of House music at loud volume. Arrgg.

Totally agree. Same with Silver Machine but substitute dungarees for leathers. Round, and round and Round, and round and Round, and round and Round, and round

Why, what happened yesterday?

👆 Very good words there. Add in a loud drummer, a guitarist who has to play on 11 all the time, a vocalist who needs their vocals loud in the monitors, keyboard player without their own monitor, a room with concrete walls, a small stage... I dont know why I did it for so long 🤦🏼

I often wish there was such a thing as an audio version of a thermal imaging camera. Real time display.

Probably because the Aux sends for the monitor is Pre-fader (and as most feedback is due to loud monitor volumes) turning the pre Eq gain (ie pre fader) would turn down the monitors too, helping reduce feedback. However, turning monitors down using the gain isn't really the way to do it, it should be turned down via the Aux send. Channel gains would normally be set at the sound check and not really touched again as it effects everything on that channel (other aux sends, post fader volume etc) Note. Eq is pre-monitor mix (normally) so adding top eq to get the FoH sound will effect the monitors and this can cause feedback, so taking the top off can help reduce f/b. Even turn the hi eq down on the physical monitor helps.

I had that record as a kid. Yummy yummy yummy

My 2 cents worth, no. Unless you're in a room with completely parallel walls, the chances of getting any cancelation or comb filtering in a pub/club full of chairs, tables, punters, bikes on walls etc, I'd have thought were 0. Not to say that it will probably sound different in different areas, but I wouldn't have thought that was due reflected cancellation. @Phil Starr interesting video, but unless I've missed something, you're man seems to miss that an audience will stand in the middle of the room, not in "middle middle", so on his model they get no mid/top at all.

I can't solo for toffee with other musicians (probably because I haven't learnt my scales properly), but occasionally I get a visual of a big band playing in my head and if I don't concentrate too hard, the music just flows, drums, brass, bass the lot. It doesn't go on for long as trying not to concentrate is hard. But when it has happened it's great.

Well the singer wanted to do Filthy Gorgeous, and I said I'd only do it we do Car Wash (which I knew anyway), so partly my own madness. Proper finger work out, but not difficult

We've joined Car Wash and Filthy Gorgeous together for an octavefest

Yes, I agree, my wife is completely understanding of me having different ones, even if she doesn't know why.

The affliction of a wife who asks why i have so many basses, but don't use them? Yes, I do. Not sure she'd understand even if I could explain it. But to your point, yes I have a favorite I play and gig that feels right, but I like the others.

If Trump is reelected, America is dead to me.

Not parking related, but did a pub gig last night. Car parked outside 20ft from the front door. Easy. Except for the punters/smokers who insisted on standing in the doorway blocking it. Ffs, a whole car park to stand in and you all crowd into a 10ft square space. 🤦🏼

Yes, if irc we had to take out the brushes to make room. Did the sound there once. Most god awful place to get a good mix further back than 10ft from the stage. Desk location sound had no relation to the dance floor.

That's a shame Neep. Was hoping you'd bring down a box of Butteries! As well as your wonderful collection of bass ofc.

To answer my own question "Vintage: Denoting something from the past of high quality, especially something representing the best of its kind. Antique: Having a high value because of age and quality. Classic: Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind."

Where is the division between vintage and classic? And why is it a Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz but a 70s Fender jazz is called Vintage 🤔
