Yes, that's we're currently doing. It works, but you'd think there would be a better way

Thanks, looks interesting, but for some reason the page won't load

Hi We're finding it difficult to track the dates when band members are free for future gigs, which makes bookings difficult to arrange. Does anyone know of a good system (outside of Google calendar or a spreadsheet), like an app or website addon?

Very clever, have 2 😄

I recently switched from the Zoom B1 four to the Boss gt 1b. I'm loving the Boss. It sounds great and I di straight into the desk. It's very flexible, using control pedals or the built in pedal to assign to whay you want. But it only has 2 fx channels (delay. Overdrive and reverb are separate switches) so unlike the Zoom you can have oct>chorus>phaser>wah>synth (if you were mad enough!), but that's not really been a problem. The Boss synth isn't as flexible as the Zoom with its 5 assignable slots, but much more in terms of control pedals and configuring the padal to your needs. Overall, I prefer the Boss.

Gig yesterday afternoon. Multi band outdoors community event. Nothing special to report about the gig, but it seems the pa guy was kinda stitched up as to the nature of the event. So we took along our Soundcraft Ui24 which we use for gigs (which we run a silent stage). We also use this for rehearsals with IEMs. So we all plugged into that as normal (Roland Electric drum kit), gave him a stereo feed with our ipad for mixing and took our aux feeds as normal. Worked a treat. Great sound on the IEMs and had a hassle free fun gig. Win win

I've know drummers place thier hand underneath to mute the snates. Much like the guitarist who won't shut up at rehursal, I'd love to stand in front of them with a set of wire cutters.

As I've ready posted my (embarrassing) felt puppet picture, and it really is about AI generated content (and not a gratuitous excuse to post 'something what I done', honest...), the band generated blisster pack action figures of ourselves which I used to make a poster for our next gig. It still can't generate a Fender with 4 string, our guitarest isn't that fat, and the drummers legs aren't really that short!

Yes, i remember when midi and sequencers came in and it was the 'death of real music'. Although they do have a lot to answer for!

Depends, subscription to Chatgpt is paid, or it's free for a limited number of pictures

Thats how I roll, and it's very liberating, not worrying about tripping over the cable. And I have the Lekato and never had any problems with them over 3 years, even with an active bass.

Mama mia is a lovely bass line to play. Not difficult, but flows nicely.

Our drunmer does AI for work. Wish now I hadn't done a silly one of him at his drums. This was his reply. 😳 😂

I didn't actually specify to add coffee/cat food, but in my profile I've added coffee as a like, so I guess AI went off script and added a cup of cat food.

Oh my lordy, whay have you started! I'm sure I dont look that old...

I had the (dubious) honour of working with him mixing a live album in the early 90's and can agree to that reputation. It would rank in my top 5 worse sessions. However he knew his stuff on Stracocasters and would talk to me about how to date them from the number of scratch plate screws or the type of neck plate. He also had a stunning Swedish girlfriend at the time. Which was nice...

As already said, Ben was great to deal with. Very speedy delivery. Many thanks

Really happy with my Gator bag. Sturdy padding, staps and pockets. Excellent. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gator-GT-BASS-BLK-Transit-Series-Bass-Guitar-Bag-Black/1Y5Q

I'm looking for a replacement for Gotch tuners (GB5) but they've stopped making them. Anyone any ideas where to get one?

I think you'd be hard pressed to find many smaller venues with 10 separate aux feeds for you all to have your our mix. You may need to group people's feeds together and compromise.
