[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

[quote name='Basvarken' timestamp='1380922796' post='2232586'] I have a soundcloud acount too. [url="https://soundcloud.com/basvarken"]https://soundcloud.com/basvarken[/url] Recently uploaded four songs from my band Definition Of Madmen. Enjoy! [/quote] All your stuff is RIGHT up my street , fantastic , make it known when you are putting some shows on

Ah yes , enthusiasm is all , run with it

They are superb , real quality and when Si rates your mix, its OK in my book too

very tight and great playing from where I am , but I guess with keys the overall sound would be a touch fuller.

The tunes have potential to my ears , but I am not sure of the benefit of offering them up at this stage , I would get them polished and do a proper rough mix , it would help identify the things you want to do with it yourselves. Having said that, everything I do seems to be a work in progress compared to most on this forum

Great pub gig last night , it was a bit quiet , but some said it was our best performance to date , those that were there were very enthusiastic and it felt very tight all the way through . repeat gig booked , and another from a couple who want us for a party in January. our 'gigs aren't out there' tour completes gig #63

ever fallen in love ... buzzcocks always goes down well
