As Douglas has done I will try to explain what I did with regard to Mikes Mix notes . [b]MIX 2[/b] I tried to do a lot of seperation using EQ and panning , with so much detail in the vocals , synths and keys I thought narrowing the spectrum of each and pulling them apart sonically would give each a bit more space to be heard , but then I reckon I was probably spending to much time trying to extract all this detail and lost the drive of the song . The bottom end just got lost when it got busy and really was noticeable when I listened to Ironsides mix . It is funny , but the idea of referencing others and even the original , somehow seems 'cheating' ,I have got to get past that and use that as a tool rather seeing it as not cricket , IYSWIM . The panning was mostly done by hand , though as Mike noticed I did use M autopan (Melda productions) on a few parts including some Bvs, using different modes it seemed to help show up some detail. I guess most of mixes are 'non-standard' but then, just as I think I am learning one trick , I let some of the fundamentals slip by Thanks again guys .

Cheers Paul , a duck for me them Not to worry , I'm still learning , and I do reckon I was quite close on this one . The disappearance of the bottom end when it got busy really fluffed it I reckon . Well done Ironside top job , my vote was in your total ! Also well done to Dad and Vasdim .

The "it's on the telly right now" music related thread
lurksalot replied to Diablo's topic in General Discussion
BBc4 , just finished , and thought of this thread , though a follow up show is now on, but Neil Sedaka ,King of Song will be on the iplayer I guess , but what a fantastic story , reallly well told and boy does it bring his songs to life , he comes across as a decent bloke aswell as it happens, I enjoyed the show , worth it if you can get to see it. -
WOW Superb analysis , thank you very much , I read the the notes on my mix , and to be honest I think I did better now than I thought I had before There is one obvious thing I picked up on as soon as I heard the others , and that has been duly observed , but I am quite pleased overall , Cheers Mike . Just to add, Paul is it time to name and shame do you think ED to add , I just saw the rules , Friday evening for the last votes

Charms Against the Evil Eye - Icthyophagus

Sorrry , I cant help does cubase have issues with these things ? I downloaded some T-racks stuff that gets picked up by Reaper easiliy enough , I havent got a clue what it does yet , but it is there !!

the trick that used to get me most was choosing the input / output devices to get the sound in/out working . With the focusrite 2i2 it is so easy . In Reaper, In the bar just under the minimize/close/ buttons at the screen top right , you can click to the devices . If you click a few of the driver options , it will show up the 2i2 as an input option and an output option . If you use headphones use the 2i2 as an output and get used to using monitoring by that . when you create a track, beside the 'meter' on the track on the LHS of the screen 'arm' the track for recording by clicking the little button , it should turn red , then choose the input channel from the 2i2 , mono L/R or stereo L+R ,adjust the gain and you should see the meter start making moves when you play . hit the red record button and play something , when you press the red button again it should save your sounds to that 'track'

Ah no , I have an idea with lyrics that needs to be sung , but I have just opened communications with a songstress

My idea is a touch ambitious , and I have only just realised it is the shortest calendar month , so I may have to do a total rethink , but not till I really have to , its not over till .........

PASS IT ON - XS All Areas, the Status Quo Autobiography
lurksalot replied to Happy Jack's topic in Recycling
Do they tell the part where Francis used to bring his Roller to Vicars Cross to see aunty Brenda . A lovely lady , who has been to see my band when we played my mate Petes 50th, so we played some quo in her honor . That must need a chapter all on its own -
I daresn't turn my screen back on in the AM as I fear you will have turned in one of your specials , thats if Bilbo doesnt beat you to it

I recall seeing a documentary about some of the great Detroit buildings falling to rack and ruin , and if I was not mistaken this building was one of them , stripped bare and looted of plumbing, wiring, timber ,wall and floor tiles, carpet etc a scary thought of the opulence of the industrial corperate power houses of the west , literally being brought back to nature , what a tale to tell .....but what style to tell it in ? and what language ? .................oooh I have an idea .

lurksalot replied to Skol303's topic in General Discussion
On behalf of the entrants in this challenge , I would like to offer our thanks to all who took the time and effort to listen , comment , and even vote . I think it fair to say that we all enjoy entering this challenge to develop our skills and offer something up for the enjoyment of the membership and to see so many dibbing in is awesome , cheers . oh and the lesbians are also most welcome to the show -
Brilliant Paul , you are an inspiration in these challenges , well done again. Thanks Douglas , I really love your appreciation ( and the other voters of course) but yes technically, I am a bit behind the rest of you so a bit of left field thinking can help bridge the musicality gap , plenty of room for that way of thinking I know we see some comments about the voting numbers , but 75 is a SUPERB turnout , it really is appreciatted , many thanks for taking the time and making the effort .

Lesbian scene involving bass guitar.... Ace.
lurksalot replied to the boy's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1391185727' post='2354358'] It's tricky, isn't it? Best team of lesbian composers on the forum if you ask me. [/quote] [quote name='lee4' timestamp='1391201764' post='2354633'] In the interests of equality,I think there should be at least 2 lebians on this forum. [/quote] OK , I'll come out , I'm a lesbian, and to keep the numbers right , so is my wife -

[quote name='SteveO' timestamp='1391151942' post='2353765'] What with work and gigs I didn't have time to finish my entry, I may post it for comments after the voting has closed though. My vote this month goes to Skol for the catchy (and vary well produced) tune, although Lurksalot nearly got it for the "stolen my cigar" line. Brilliant. [/quote] Cheers Steve , I'm glad I can raise a smile or two while learning how to do this stuff. [quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1391171713' post='2354041'] I voted for the first time. For some reason I have always felt that because I don't actually join in I have no right to vote. Not because of anything said about it, just my head taking its self to the stupid step. I do wish I could join in. I do keep fiddling about with recording stuff, finally got my head around doing the drums, but every time I try my mind just goes completely blank. I'm getting there, very, very, veeerrrryyyy slowly. Oddly, if there were prizes involved I definitely wouldn't enter. But, again. that's just me. I am quite happy to build someone a website, or give someone's kid a bass or guitar lesson, but as soon as I am offered money for it I go cold and can't do it. Oh, and I think a time limit on the songs would help. I think two and a half minutes would be ideal. [/quote] that happens SOOO many times with me , but what I have learned to say is WTF , and get on with it , doing this to order can be very frustrating but there is no point pretending that what I record will change the world .........though one day . I remember Bilbo saying early last year to me that the egg timer was my friend , I had no idea what he meant at the time , but now I realise people dont need to listen to anthems, just a short tuneful ditty , so I try

Is it not fairly straight forward to identify these basses ?

Bizzarrely ,I seem to recall that he gave one of his releases away with the mail on sunday or some such publication , and in the process helped drum up the interest in his O2 gigs , knowing the way things work this could be purely a stroke to get something in the media with his name on it .
