[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1369080822' post='2084689'] It fascinates me how many votes go to mixes that I can hear technical flaws in. [/quote] To me, the current leader in the poll (without giving anything away) sounds like it has been smothered with a pillow! yes it has in your face bass but that's about it....I think it has missed the important elements and structure of the song.... The snare definitely sounds like it has been smothered with a blanket or something and the lead elements have a thin far away feel to them... Just IMHO of course.... so shoot me

To me, the most important elements of this song are the vocal, the fiddle and the banjo. Between them they navigate a path through the song, providing the melodies throughout. To me, there is only one mix that does that consistently and successfully. It just happens to be mine, sorry. Ha Ha

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1369001079' post='2083917'] It's my old one. The very same one featured in my avatar! I wish I could buy it back Truckstop [/quote] what's stopping you?

I have one of these:

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368799359' post='2081691'] Why has nobody voted? [/quote] I won't vote until I've heard them through a decent system. I can't make judgements while in the office on my crappy logic3 speakers.

I don't know why but Mix C won't play for me.....all the others do though...and this month it is surprisingly difficult to identify mine!! Edit: Got Mix c to play now.....

It's always a relief to hear that you have mixed the correct tune (ie the same as everyone else) with the correct stems.....Ha Ha Ha

My JV has one

[quote name='TenLetters' timestamp='1368554331' post='2078515'] Hi, Is there any reason why the k-meter would be showing at near 0 on the 'mix' session but only -16 on the rendered wav? both sessions sound approximately the same volume. Also, just to double check it is the green meters were intrested in for this, not the floating white/red bars? [/quote] The K14-meter effectively recalibrates 0db to -14db (this is over simplified explanation) so although @ 0db on K14-meter it is -14db on a 'normal' metering and yes, green meters

I can't really wear tee shirts - I am the wrong shape.

can't help but check the email several times a day right now........

Cross between muscle memory and instinct.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1368541844' post='2078236'] I can't remember phoning anyone after receiving a deposit - having worked in telesales many moons ago I have a bit of a phobia about making telephone calls, it's like I already used up my lifetime allocation in a few very looooooong years... Expect a response by email but don't expect it quickly at the moment, we're all trying to stay away from the computers and keep all hands on actual manufacturing during the working day. [/quote] I remember a phone call after I paid my deposit, whether it was made by me or received by me, I can't remember - it wasn't you I spoke to, Alex, but another chap...you may remember I commented on what a great salesman he was as he managed to sell me a tweeter to go in my super twelve.

I used one iof these for a while...horrible it was....neck dive was awful.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1368446629' post='2077089'] Did you get any confirmation that "yep, got your order, thanks, all under control, now sit, relax and wait"? I paid my deposit but did not get any kind of confirmation... just wondering whether it's normal or maybe I should check? [/quote] Did you not get a phone call to go through what it was that you wanted? I did a couple of days after paying my deposit. Discussed all manner of things: what basses I played, where I played, what pedals I used etc etc.....that conversation upsold a tweeter to me!! ha HA

It's the suppliers I feel sorry for in all this.

[quote name='Barefootbassplayer' timestamp='1368185784' post='2074170'] ..I'm into my 17th week of waiting for my big twin! [/quote] !!!!!!!!!! 17weeks???? That would make me only half way there!!

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1368191277' post='2074291'] is it ok to use your index finger to fret a note then using it to bar the other strings so you arent using the pad of the finger but the whole finger instead? [/quote] Only you can be the judge of that, who else is even caring?

Use Pedalboard Tape - it is so much better than velcro. [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/pedalboard-tape-698-p.asp"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/pedalboard-tape-698-p.asp[/url]

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1368197354' post='2074383'] I prefer Musicman Sterlings to Stingrays. I'd say it depends on the persons preferances in all honesty [/quote] So do I but own neither. It's the narrower neck width on the Sterlings that swings it.

I would have offered but am cabless atm but am just up the road from St Albans...

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368038628' post='2072440'] I'm trying to recreate an already existing beat as best I can, I doubt it would be in a beat-library. [b]And at the unusual speed of 123bpm...[/b] [/quote] The beauty of using pre-programmed midi loops is that the tempo is largely irrelevant - they will assume the tempo of your project. Check out Groove Monkee and the like... I know the midi files from Toontrack (makers of EZdrummer & Superior Drummer) have been recorded using real drummers and can be used with any drum sample player.

[quote name='Alex' via unsolicited E-mail'] It should be done pretty soon... [/quote]

I took a gamble and bought the SKB anyway and I can report that the M80 Mono does fit in the SKB Roto case.....but only just!! It took quite some effort to get the latches to hook up - I was determined not to be defeated....I suspect the new foam in the end and on the heel didn't help too much. I would not be able to use the exterior pocket of the M80 though, that must be empty to get the thing in. Hope this might help someone as mad as me.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368022357' post='2072139'] Mate, I know we don't get on, [/quote] Really? Hadn't really noticed. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368022357' post='2072139'] but not everything I write is having a pop at you,[/quote] Do I really seem that paranoid? [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368022357' post='2072139'] you know. If we ever meet I'll get the beers in. [/quote] Scotch & Ginger, ta, a large one
