What is says on the tin. Find our brand of Nu metal covers and originals at Brightona. Can't wait to play such a great venue. We are on around 6 so hopefully peeps will have had a few and be up for a bit of a mosh!!! See you all there Mike

Mine would be 1. Play the songs as you have reahearsed them. 2. Play them in the order they are in on the set list 3. Have a spare drum key 4. Watch out for the drunk person slopping their drink everywhere!

Bum, I thought this was for sale. You have made me sad ;-)

i would add. think about how you are going to set up and agree . We normally start back to front. Ie Gantry, PA Drums then everything else.

I was thinking of one of these but tune as low as A and wonder if it can handle it???

I misread it as PARIS HILTON D'OH

Had the singer once during a gig say to the guitarist, play the opening to Duality by slipknot. So they do. Me and the drummer look at each other and have barely heard the song let alone have a clue about what key it is in or what notes or rhythm to play. The singer thinks he is Slipknot on stage at Download everyone else in the band think we are more like Bad News as Monsters of Rock. What a car crash that was!!!

Like the sound of reaper. Will have to give that a try! Many thanks!

I have a really old version of cubase and have heard the wonders spoken of reason / record. Essentially I want to record rehearsals and also hopefuly some fairly decent home recordings. Is there a way to try reason /record out without paying for it? And is this suitable for what I need? Ta Mike

I tune on the fly and transpose as well. One song I tune A, Ef, A Df, Gf. I would recommend getting a fiver and getting used to the change. You could also bung a capo on?

PM me your address and I will pop it in the post.

Finished this bad boy. anyone else interested?

i am interested in this bad boy. Please PM me when I get to the front of the queue. Ta Mike

I own a midi cable. i will give it a try when I get more confident. When i have recorded in a studio I have always recorded one vocal left then another right, same with guitars is this not usual practice? With regards to the input it was simply select the channel then F4 lets you select. Anyone else recommend reaper over cubase? Many thanks. Mike

This one is not so daft. Potentially I have got 16 channels to simultaneously record, however I want to use the desk to record rehearsals as well as focused recording efforts. What would you recommend I assign the channels to to achieve both. My thinking is Ch1. Vox left / centre for rehearsing Ch2 Vox right Ch3 Backing Vox Ch4 Guitar left / centre for rehearsing Ch 5 Guitar right Ch 6 Bass Ch 7 drums (electronic kit) not sure what to do about a proper recording yet but that is a bridge a way away yet. Any comments more than welcome. Thanks Mike

Sadly, I have let my heart rule my head and have purchased some Behringer Truths off ebay. Got a pair for £50 and the reviews aren't that bad. Is there anything I particularly need to look for in stands to go with them?

Many thanks guys. I will be having another try tomorrow and let you know how I get on. Sadly this thread may run a while

Here is what is likely to be the first of many posts. I was hoping to get my studio sorted out before I put the electricery together but i need to record something pretty quick, so my kit is in my loft which boils in summer and freezes in winter. After much swearing and haveing to use a tiny table as workstation and recording desk I have given up for the night. However, my progress has been limited but not un eventful. Tonight I have found out the following things. 1. There are many small floorboards in my loft most of which are not nailed down. 2. Swearing at technology makes you feel better. 3. mixing desks have many buttons, most don't do anything. 4. The lead you have is always three inches shorter than you need. So here is my problem. I have a Alesis USB16 multimix desk going into my computer. I am using Cubase LE (quite old ish) I can get sound to go to the computer and come back to the desk. However, only channels one and two are registering as left and right on the mix bar. I am getting sounds from the headphones on all channels. How do I get, say, track 6 on my desk to record as track 6 on track 6 on the computer? Many thanks Mike

Excellent, great link, I had a discussion a while back with someone saying when you are at a festival you need to be on your A game and this is a great example. I also liked the confetti canons that the fabulous fug band used. £20 well spent.

Must say an amazing bass player. He didn't make any noticable mistakes in some very tricky runs until the bass solo in "hit me with your rythm stick" then didn't seem to hit any notes, then got back into the song and played a blinder. I did notice far too many fenders at the whole festival. Also saw fellow BCer Chris Williams with his band Slash and Friends who were by far one of the highlights of the festival. I didn't manage to see much at the U stage but that was where it was happening for anyone who liked anything even a little bit dangerous. Great event and hopefully I will be playing there next year.

Indeed, I think I need between 5 - 10 seconds worth of competant slapping and that will do me. Could take a couple of years to get that far though ;-)

See what you are saying about lowering the G. Is there a good idiots guide to slap, as my self taught method is shameful to say the least. Is it wrong that I want to be a slapper?
