the bridge didnt work , though it seems to be a settings thing , it is asking me to be signed in as admin , but I already am , I cant suss it at all, it will be a case of getting the lappy out , oh , i am sooo far behind now

I am having a tormented time trying to my new PC up with the same software as my lappy , but everything gets better and improves so much the software versions arent compatable and wont talk to each other any more , progress

cheers gents that jbridge looks to be the thing , I will have a play when I get a chance , its time to learn 4 new songs for rehearsal tonight

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1381605431' post='2241398'] Yes, I'd agree with all of that. I understand that wood can be denser towards the centre (and bottom) of the tree, but I'm talking about something different. I'm talking about latewood and earlywood. A quarter sawn board has a higher concentration of dense latewood compared to a tangentially sawn board, regardless of where on the tree it was cut. [/quote] Ok , the late wood / early wood issue is largely irrelavent in this context as the difference in the wood is in essence the definition of the grain . this happens every year in the cycle of the tree and you can tell the good growing years by the width of the ring of growth , the ' late and early' purely define the parts of the year that the growth occured . most trees of the same age in the same climate will show similar patterns in the grain to each other . yes the late wood is denser , but by definition you cant cut a stable quarter sawn board to incorperate more latewood , a quarter sawn board will radially cut a tree and the growing cycle of the tree will determine how much early and latewood is in the board . If a board is quarter sawn, it will shrink along the lines of the grain, effectively compressing the grain but staying flat . this is the quality that is sought after , and because of the way you have to cut it, it is is more wasteful and time consuming than just slicing a tree along its length. as soon as you cut up up sliced tree and start glueing it together again, opposing the grain each time, you will get some very strong and stable constructions without worrying tooooo much about which way the wood was cut.

The cake might not be ready yet as I am a couple of months too soon , but while the ingredients are being mixed...... would it be possible to have the ability to navigate at the bottom of the mobile page as I have to scroll all the way back to the top when I need to go back to the forum , or am I doing it wrong

Sorry to have troubled Y'all but drumcore /reaper do not support each other in their latest formats , well you live and learn I guess ,

OK , I think the issue is a 'bit' thing , my new PC is a 64 No and drumcore is a 32 so drag and drop wont work , 3 hrs to suss that when I should be making sweet music

If it helps , the drumcore on my new machine says 'bridged ' and doesn't pin itself inside the FX popup if that makes sense , is that a clue , i wonder ?

My lad does a few videos with his canon DSLR and thats one of the reasons he got it , they are quite incredible quality when you suss out some of the tricks . personally though I am not a fan of music videos in the main I find them a bit distracting from the song , but thats because i am pre MTV I guess . but the song is great and if you are pleased with it thats what counts , good luck with it .

recordists of the great BC whats left of my hair is being pulled out slowly and painfully tonight .. I have had a couple of issues trying to load up my new PC with the plug ins I have on my lappy , each time I hit an obstacle that seems to put hours on my work flow and now I have hit another . I have downloaded drumcore , no sweat (eventually) I have got reaper to access it no sweat ( eventually) drumcore will play the samples in its own window , but , when I try to drag and drop the samples it just wont happen and I know it should , I am reaaaaaaaaally hacked off now . If anyone knows what the issue could be could they kindly pop a note up , many thanks

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1381601443' post='2241307'] Wood has alternating layers of dark, thin wood (latewood), and paler, wide wood (earlywood). The latewood is much more dense than the earlywood. Quartersawn timber, being cut radially, has lots of straight layers packed pretty close together. A similar width of tangentally sawn timber will pass through far fewer layers, and they appear to be much wavier and more spaced apart. So it's simply the fact that quarter sawn has a higher concentration of the dense stuff in it. TBH, I don't know how significant it would be in terms of tone. [/quote] The denser wood can be cut from the centre of a tree at any angle , the trick with quarter sawn is that it is cut radially through the centre , the main idea behind this is consistency of grain direction so that when it dries, the direction and shape of the timber is predictable . When making anything that needs excellent stability most woods are engineered into laminates and that gives a much greater degree of stability .

Don't listen to them , I never do , probably for a similar reason , but also I would like to know that the inspiration comes from the picture and not from another entry. I end up having to learn an entirely new musical style than I am used to half the time , thats probably why mine are in the more supporting role rather than at the head of the field . the later entry date is worth a thought though .

I have heard Miss Givens can be quite serious when she goes to church TAXI ..........

there was a shirt thread aswell somewhere but cant find it now, but till I do you can have this as it has my gig hat on [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/16408931@N03/10196335706/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/16408931@N03/10196335706/]cool bass player [/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/16408931@N03/]kevin.ahern[/url], on Flickr that is my official Sh1teshirt , though my daughter made a badge to go over the official logo

I'll join in please , as it comes for me

I don't really want to move this thread over , its just tooo lovely to call completed , maybe we can wait for the postie for a day or so

Thats the best one yet Particularly like the archers solo , top lyrics throughout , really enjoyed that one , great fun

Well done Ironside , you got my vote aswell , I think I approached the song in a similar manner to what you described but of course you did it just an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bit better . Honestly I find Kits vocal a bit difficult to focus on at higher volumes when it stands out from the mix, so I tried to blend it in a touch with the BVs .I did seem to spend a while picking out some of the vocal spills that were in there then I tried to group sections , set levels , and pick out some special pieces on BVs , guitars and strings to automate into the mix . I was pleased with my final version but on listening back I think I did our Nige a disservice and didn't give enough to him, Still, a very enjoyable piece to work on thanks to all involved .

It is very special , toneful and tuneful and every note seems to count , top stuff

this seems a good idea , we have been meaning to do some simple recording for a while with our band , so I might get a toy like this and give it a go

Yup , Its very good , the song and performance is excellent , production aswell , the vid is a bit claustrophic for me , but then I am not a great fan of vid anyway , look forward to next months

I am not a great fan of the genre , but there was a lot in there that I liked , some of the mix seemed inconsistent with a lot of the instruments fighting for attention , but I would be pleased to have put that together .

Thirteen votes is a touch dissappointing , but for the participants the challenge is to learn about the process get a bit of experience and most importantly have the efforts critiqued , this is the main part of the competition for me , and in all fairness if you are not participating then a lot of the impetus of listening and voting is based more on the goodwill of the BCers as they do need to have a fairly close listen to the entries to make a choice.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1381182297' post='2235625'] I stopped looking at and unsubscribed from the How Was Your Gig thread long ago as I don't like endless threads, as that thread is not easily searchable, and all the bands are thrown into it together. If I wanted to look for a certain gig by a certain band, I would have to read the thread backwards without having any idea whether the gig has been posted there and at what point in the sequence. I doubt that thread is a good substitute for what I'm trying to do here. [/quote] great idea BJ If the bands had there own page , would they need to be sticky? as if they were all in one forum they could be searched for quite easily

[quote name='SimonEdward' timestamp='1380749573' post='2230179'] me AGAIN! this thread so deserves a BUMP up to the top.. & I now have a 'Soundcloud' widget embeded on my weblog which lists all of my compositions to date.. the music is mainly original, electronic-derived Pop! or something like that.. [url="http://simon-edward.tumblr.com/"]http://simon-edward.tumblr.com/[/url] [/quote] I should have spent more time in this thread , superb , the website is great too
