It’s time to vote in the final Composition Challenge of the year!
lurksalot replied to Skol303's topic in General Discussion
I am sure you can, but the voting has started already , It is just whether Skol is able to add you to the poll on a technical issue IYSWIM -
Yes you can edit the title, if you edit the first post and click 'more reply options' the thread title can be accessed. do you have a function to set whether the signal is sent pre or post effects ? sometimes any effects that you use in an effects loop can be bypassed , but even then the sound should still be reasonable . you could try the effects loop out to a desk channel Some effects pedals like Zoom stuff can DI out before the amp , but as Kiwi says if anything is not actually working properly then a process of elimination is the best way forward

Trademarks in this country apply to those who manufacture, import or distribute goods by way of business...... So private sellers are good to go.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1418987832' post='2635471'] Not necessarily. He still offers basses with Fender logos as an option, I believe. [/quote] would that be officially

[/quote] This would suggest that Mark either felt it wrong to put the logo on or he was told not to put the logo on , so whether snide, fake or not , it would appear putting a fender logo on a non Fender guitar isn't quite right . [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1418947523' post='2635222'] Very poor analogy. That's the equivalent of starting with a Fender and then replacing (say) the BBOT and pickguard, in which case no-pne would argue it shouldn't still have a Fender badge. A better analogy would be building a Caterham or Westfield kit car and sticking a Lotus badge on it. [/quote] , the caterham badge is quite a good rip-off of the lotus 7 badge style though

but then every part of a system needs to able to reproduce the given sound to the quality that it was recorded to surely , and the listening pleasure to the vast majority of listeners really doesn't rely on that,, thus giving the listener the added bonus of being able to search and improve their listening skills and technical equipment as and when they wish to delve into their own listening experience.

It might help identify the problem

I dont know about Audacity , but if it is purely a volume issue , try using Reaper , you can open the volume envelope ( a track that is purely a volume tracker) and adjust up and down at the points you need to , it would be a bit of a PITA , but if compression wont sort it and it is worth keeping it might be worth the effort .

Furious at this legalised ticket touting charade !!
lurksalot replied to tonybassplayer's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1418415617' post='2630125'] You are pushing against an open door with me on this, as it absolutely boils my piss. These wide boys couldn't give a sh*t about the music - it's just a commodity, and it could be watering cans or gerbils for all they care. I know there will be plenty of people that quote 'market forces' and supply and demand being a cornerstone of capitalism, but the simplest way to stop this is to make it pointless from the touts perspective. If you ensure that its not worth it, they'll go off to find something else to do to make an easy buck. You can do that by making it an offence to sell a ticket for more than the face value plus ten pounds. That will allow the profiteering tw**s at the ticket agencies enough latitude to charge their outrageous booking fees, but ensure that the profiteering fu*kers on eBay, and the scallies outside the venues decide its not worth the hassle. That to me is a better use of the local constabularies time than nicking motorists for doing 35 in a 30 limit zone, in the middle of nowhere. And I have to agree - it's absolutely scandalous that exclusive arrangements are in place such that one company controls the sale of tickets for a tour, and a significant amount of these tickets turn up in the hands of specialist premium 'we'll get you in' fee agents, who actually are owned by the agency with the exclusive deal. It stinks. [/quote] This is absolutely true , but parting a fool from his money is the capitalist philosophy -

You are most welcome Mike, Do anything for a vote ........ Hell Yeah Do anything to get some decent vocals on a track .....Hell Yeah I really enjoyed it to be honest and learned some more stuff myself along the way, along with some great anecdotes from Mike of his nights on the pop with some big names of the music industry , all of which are safe with me .

Combining Bass Guitar + Computer Output Into Headphones

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is indeed my choice aswell , and is what I use , so the connectivity I discussed is exactly what it will do , get that letter written to Santa quickly -
Combining Bass Guitar + Computer Output Into Headphones
lurksalot replied to André Boström's topic in Recording
[quote name='André Boström' timestamp='1417909115' post='2625118'] Hi Drax! I do indeed intend to record. The thread you mentioned was forwarded to me yesterday - the one thing I wonder is if the external audio input device gets read as a separate audio output device? I imagine that these devices act as 'microphone' in a way, which feeds into my computer through a USB socket, and then gets output through my primary sound device. What I [u]don't[/u] want is it being a separate sound device which I need to set as primary sound device in order to hear the audio output from my instrument. If that were the case then I'd lose the computer audio instead and would have to choose one or the other. They need to be combined, and I'm still not sure if that's the case most of the time. Thought I'd reach out and see what the deal is with this? I feel like there is something here I've missed... Thanks for the response , - André [/quote] You can specify the output of your computer to the usb interface, thus what you listen to can be from the computer into the interface and then listened through the headphones,monitor speakers or hifi via the interface, with the added bonus that the interface will probably have a better digital/analogue converter so that the quality is better than the computers own sound output. -
Advice needed - Home-Rec of Band without Drum-Kit
lurksalot replied to cloudburst's topic in Recording
I would love to do some recording of the band , but I reckon my chances will be no more than a portable recorder at a gig , the singer has a zoom h4n but refuses to leave it out of his reach , so I might have to invest in some toys myself . As for setting up a session I have often wondered about a minimalist way of doing it and I guess it is always good fun trying different ways of doing it , but alas I have no personal experience to to make your quest any easier -
this certainly seems to have produced some ideas , I am not far off mine now , though I am going to try and get some guest vocals on it , there is a very simple tune that has a traditional origin , so should be good for anyone , because they will all know it , I will just be trying to drag some friends, neighbours and family in , so it will probably be me on my own again I have learned a trick or two from the entries last month , and there is one thing that I need more of in mine ........................quality

I did research the picture , and found the whole thing quite incredible , so I thought I might do something incredible this month . I haven't quite got incredible in my armory just yet though

What is it with school and Latin , you have to get past this

This one is tricky , I am getting a street vibe with this , all this popping and banging , hipping and hopping , but alas this genre is alien to me , just like all the other genres.
