    I have a few 'loud ' shirts that often make an appearance , but jeans and T shirts are the main attire

    I have to say my research has concluded that pretty much most genres could be funked up , and thus be eligible for the photo , so I may head back down the country funk route , or dire death metal funk , though the Jasper Carrott Vs Paul Nicholas vibe is getting hard to leave alone . decisions, decisions

    Are you subscribed to the marketplace ? there is a subscription or a one off fee to sell stuff over a value of £50 . there is a facility to pay during the process of putting the ad up . If the process does get done fully then the ad won't appear , but I am sure a marketplace mod can help you out if the process itself has fallen down .

    If this was was round the corner from me I would probably be taking a punt . Even if I didn't get on with it it can't lose much at that price , and it wpuld even look lovely just on display if i made some room for it

    Thats great news , I left a band that was lamentable with putting new stuff in , it was a little bit iffy as the singer /guitarist is my next door neighbour and he took it a bit personally , they struggle to get together nowadays , but my offer to jam with them is always politely ignored . I fell into a new band pretty quickly , and its WAAAAAAY better .

    I have 2 of these to move on as I have changed the way we approach my sound. I used to have 1 for my bass and had effects / preamps into the yamaha which could then drive different cabs even of differing impedances in stereo mode . It can really kick in bridge mode and will run down to 4ohms load . 1 amp is about 4 years old the other is 2 but both work perfectly though have some minor scratches despite being racked for most of the time. Yamaha official blurb [url="http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/proaudio/power-amps/p_series/p2500s/?mode=model"]http://uk.yamaha.com...00s/?mode=model[/url] Particularly useful is the adjustble high/low pass filters which enable it to power subs with ease Absolutely reliable , very accurate reproduction and easy to use , I would keep them but I need to move some stuff after a couple of purchases have made the collection unsustainable . As these are £300 new , should we start at £150 plus postage or collection for free. [attachment=159003:IMG_1325.JPG] Ed to add Pic

    [quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1396134076' post='2410382'] Singers don't seem to think mic technique is important. I've suggested she keep the mic horizontal and I set it up on the stand like that. Next time I look she's got it pointing up at a 45 degree angle. Whole lines went missing last night and then she looks at the mic like it's broken. [/quote] if we cant use the tools of the job , then no amount of trickery will get us back up into the mix, everything is just pandering and compromise , but sometimes that is where the starting point is .

    [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1396113994' post='2410093'] The answer is a bit of compression and a lot of automation [/quote] [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1396114086' post='2410094'] It's also why a real mix takes a good 15 hours graft [/quote] well of course it is , we all new that bit , it is the tiniest tweak of EQ that really works though , on a serious note , I did think of that but it sounded a bit too simple , but then, that is why you are good at do what you do , and I amn't
  18. lurksalot
    It does appear to be insane black magic that makes it all happen A couple of things I have learned though , is that you need to have good clear recordings that are nice to hear , and that if you can apply EQ when mixing it gives each part its 'sonic' space , you might be able to tweak the vocal EQ a touch to make it fit better into the band mix that you have . I am not sure on the reverb/delay tricks as each mix might need a different approach , and don't ask me how to work that one out

    I recall seeing a thread somewhere , but can't find it , where it seemed the general conscensus was that it was a bit impractical with latency issues .

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1395949718' post='2408364'] D'oh! I literally just bought a PF350 because there were no 500's for sale at the time! Although I rather suspect that it's a blessing in disguise; the PF500 would hang over the edges of my SP210! Truckstop [/quote] isn't it just the way Anyway , news is, its on hold pending the finalities

    Having been lucky and scored an Amp I was GASsing after for a while , I am offering up my PF500 for sale . It is a great and seriously capable bit of kit that has had me cutting through a good rock mix and has headroom to match Ampegs Blurb [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/portaflex/pf-500/"]http://www.ampeg.com...rtaflex/pf-500/[/url] I bought this of BC last year or late 12 , I cant recall exactly , it has never let me down , I had one gig where it seemed to be intermittently quiet , but I had it checked out and was advised that it was fine , I have not been able to make it do it again and have played about 12 gigs/ loud rehearsals since No Bashes or bangs , a couple of tiny scratches , but in good condition Paypal , Bacs, cash etc is all good and will charge postage at cost or meet locally/arrange collection. Many thanks

    we had a good one last night in Buckley at a regular pub for us , there was lots of bouncy dancing from the off , some superb fancy dress outfits in attendance , lots of singing along , 4 new tunes in , and to top it all lead guitar kept his chunking volume under control , wound up the PA got the vocal EQ nice for the room and lots of compliments about the bands sound , so good news all round for that one
