Yep , Thanks a big one on that, I use(d) the free version for ages but had issues on 64bit Reaper and it made the whole process a right pain, This one is brilliant , plays straight off, so many options , the mixer is ace and the whole shebang is really intuitive . I even got a phone call from the states checking that everything went well with the purchase , excellent .

There is Vat at 22% on that price , I suppose that still makes it cheap though .

Good call on that one, I think it was K12 we used last time , so it makes sense to use it again .

Well done Spoombung , excellent piece , And thanks for the votes on mine , greatly appreciatted .

best wishes Bert , Announcing that you are desperate to move the stuff may mean you get some silly low offers , spread the sales as best you can and I hope you get what you need from them .

well played Paul , I will be getting stuck in aswell

most gigged/ used bass guitar is probably a bit vague to have definitive numbers thrown at it to validate it against another bass ,for instance Dave Peacock ( Chas and Dave) seems to have clocked up a few gigs with the same bass. Maybe the record attempt title needs to reflect the nature of the record a bit closer . I think to actually have a record attempt you would have to do it at something like the bass show and organise it with agreed rules so that the criteria for playing was agreed , then have all the visitors play it and pass it on , but all at one location and on the one day within a specific time period , and then it can be suitably adjudicated , every entrant to pay £2 to the charity etc or something along those lines .

I had to put a bit of listening in to choose this month , possibly the best set of entries in a month so far ,

we played a little pub just outside Chester for my brothers birthday , it was fantastic , everyone was bouncing all the way through both sets, we blooded a couple of new songs and were asked to play them again . We played on after the landlord gave us the nod to a couple more songs after 12.00 and everyone went home drunk and quite happy

This has to be the best set of entries in a single month so far , outstanding , I may end up doing a lucky dip to pick one to vote for

That would have been uber contempory when you did that and it is fantastic Nige , it really is .

I just noticed my post count , It makes sense to post No 1000 in here

Thats a shame Bilbo, I hope your boxes get unpack soon enough . [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1385063944' post='2284115'] Nice one Lurks! I've only had a quick listen on my phone but I have to commend Lurksalittle on the vocal. Very good indeed. [/quote] Cheers Skol , her voice needs a bit of firming up , but I didn't give her enough takes really , It is quite an eye opener when you realise the concentration it takes for someone to hear a melody learn the words and fit them in to the tune , its one thing to sing along to a song , another learning an existing song, but when you start from scratch it takes soooo much more effort , if I allow for that next time, we should have even better results. I have gone along with the idea that the song 'just' needs a vocal , while it was brilliant when the bands singer did it for the blues song I did , I now realise it requires a LOT more planning for a 13 year old girl to do it . ...and on that note , she has a new app on her ipad which is effectively a midi programmer , a real doody thing where you just draw or write on the screen and the app just plays through where the writing covers the notes , incredible bit of kit , to the extent that she is mumbling about entering the competition herself next time

Aye , probably a touch early , but great fun nevertheless

I have Yamaha HS 50s but primarily for mixing , they are very crisp midrange but bass light , I would have thought something with an optional sub might work for gaming as I am sure you would need a bit of low end in there

Well , the medieval headless pewcore is up now , just in time because the 'studio' refurbishment starts this coming week , well , decorating the playroom , but I hope to formalise a bit more studio-ness into it . A family effort this week , I hope you enjoy. [url="http://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/no-body"]http://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/no-body[/url]

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1384474684' post='2277267'] Hmm, I'm getting all that now with my guitar rig interface. I've heard the pre-amps on the focusrites are great but it's hard to tell if it's worth upgrading my interface just for the better pre-amps. I think the £120 may be better spent elsewhere or I'll have to try one out so I know for sure [/quote] Ah , well I guess its your ears that will have to make the judgement on that , good luck

Superb job that man , it all makes perfect sense now that it is set out , well done Skol , a great effort , and well done to all of us who asked for it , someone has been very busy , I hope it works well for everyone who contributes

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1384431454' post='2276551'] I'm almost sold would you say the sound quality was a big improvement over the zooms? That's the only issue I face at the moment. [/quote] on the basis that I could record everything and anything , at mic level and line level ( and with a 48v phantom supply) , and all with predictable levels both on output and input , to my ears It is bliss , consistent bliss , I was honestly getting so frustrated before I bought the 2i2 that I was close to abandoning hope of recording anything even half decent ,

I have got a week and a few days off coming up and hope to finally decorate/sort/assemble my studio/snug/TVroom project , it is having to be all things to all dwellers , but 3 out of the 4 are intersted in playing and recording so I have a chance of some input here Photos will be forthcoming when there is enough light coming from the end of the tunnel to illuminate it

Dont worry Si , we will have to try and sort it between us , looking at the timescales it might be best to colllect some track ideas for the rest of the month and pick one to be done for December/Jan . I know some have time off over christmas /new year and an excuse to sit, eat some pies and listen to music would be good

..........and at that point ............I bought the 2i2

I have used both the B9 and the 2.1 and found getting recording levels and playback levels consistent was a real PITA , it must be said I was a newbie at it and tried recording because the usb interface helped a lot , but when I got the scarlet it made the whole process easier by a long way , the latency issues seemed a lot less pronounced aswell , I still use the zooms to mess with the tone but not as an interface .
