A JV worth a grand? Jesus - really? I mean really? gobsmacked

IME NI customer service sucks. Good luck

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1373924789' post='2143354'] Twig, are you far off being finished? [/quote] Yep I got 60% through the drum replacement - still got the toms to do....but I'm never going to do it. I used Audiosnap in Sonar to get the midi timing for all the drum hits, was identifying which hit was which manually and allocating it to the appropriate drum in my kit.....it was a very long tedious process which I am not going to finish. I had replaced the kicks and the snares and the hats, just really had the toms to do....

sorry chaps I just didn't get this finished this month

P with a J neck for me. I prefer the look and sound of a P and the feel of the J neck.

Do it the authentic way. Buy a nice new bass and then gig it for 40 years. To me that is the only way to relic a bass.

[/i] [/quote]Likewise - spent one evening on it and got sidetracked by the weather, the kids, the gardening, work, motorcycle maintenance, our own album recording, in fact almost anything else....must find some time for this

Stick a strap button on the back of the headstock a la vintage P and get a long strap

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1372958143' post='2132176'] so a normaliser is actually just a make-louder-iser? [/quote] or it could be a make-quieter-iser It depends where you start

I have strung with d'Addario ENR71 half rounds recently - I came from flats (Chromes) and these seem quite sticky and quite rough (compared with the flats)...they certainly have some twang when compared with the flats - time will tell....

I just use Audacity to normalise (if I ever find myself needing to) and to check the mix after mixdown on some software that allows me to see the wave form. I have Audacity routed through a different soundcard (SonarX2 through the RME HDSP9632 to KRK monitors, Audacity/WMP/etc through m-audio2496 and Cambridge amp and Eltax speakers) so I can check on another system without leaving my chair.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1372867106' post='2130944'] Normalising a track simply increases the amplitude/volume of the signal so that the loudest peaks are at [s]0db (i.e. the loudest possible volume on a digital signal).[/s]whatever level you tell Audacity to normalise to be it, 0dB, -3dB,-6dB, -14dB etc etc the choices are endless [/quote] Corrected for you. I suggest normalising to -12dB or so (what are K-14 peak levels?) would likely give similar result to K14 metering.

We should've made the list.

Makes Warmoth's $350 for a finished P-bass body look a tad dear..... Link is down for me - the page 404s

[quote name='paulpirie8' timestamp='1372411084' post='2125349'] EDIT: Also, I'm looking at the strap and wondering why it's attached to the headstock as opposed to the other strap pin. [/quote] Every Vox I have ever played had such bad neck dive, it seemed more natural to play the thing vertically like an upside down upright....

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1372350902' post='2124735'] Why not have side A play at 45rpm and B at 33rpm just to confuzzle people? [/quote] I have a few 7" that do this......

What is this heat you speak of?
