Cheers Si I am getting a better feel for the sound now , though sometimes I know something isn't right but am not sure what treatment it needs , [quote] Bass sound is nice especially in mellow middle section! [/quote] I liked that too , I duplicated the bass tracks and had them EQ'd low and mid seperately and panned opposite, so that it had the effect of stretching the space , I think it worked OK when there was enough room to hear it

Great post Nige , Some of the music, bands and shows put on on by BCers are fantastic , I have been to a couple , plan on seeing a fair few more. It can be a touch awkward getting pass outs occasionally , what with gig and rehearsal time already taken out . Trying to write songs , learn DAW and mixing is great because I can involve the kids easily and it makes it fun , taking them to see the Terrortones or Dr Blue on the other hand , well I think I might end up a bit . But I will be attending more BCers gigs this year Deffo ed for atroshus spilling

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1362040832' post='1994757'] He still hasn't responded to my email. [/quote] he might pop over for a nosey to see WoT the fuss is all about , did you mention BC or just send a hello email.

In a previous covers band the guitarist always insisted that we all had the right to veto any song we didn't want to play, seeing a grown man stand with his guitar looking like smacked arse while we jammed something he refused to acknowledge was hilarious. I left that band because it was damn near impossible to get any new songs in

Cheers Skol , thanks for the review , I think I am getting somewhere, some of the techniques are slowing getting in my head and I have bought that mixing book you suggested , onwards and upwards .

[spoiler] cheers Dave , thanks for that I was really pleased to see a vote [/spoiler] Thanks Skol for your thoughts , I shall try to remember , I am slowly getting the hang of it all

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1361907287' post='1992933'] now listening to this: [/quote] Thanks for that , yup , quality stuff , I have recomended it to my lad who does a radio show for salford Uni , shock radio , this is noise , wed nights , available on the net and on apps he loves this stuff[i], I do aswell [/i]

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1361920009' post='1993222'] He has email..... [/quote] [quote name='mep' timestamp='1361921046' post='1993246'] Edit. We have an email address on his webs site. How long do we leave it before someone contacts him? If anyone is up for it.[/quote]

I went for an audition for a band over 2 years ago and they still keep telling me that they will let me know. I keep going to rehearsals every week and even play at the gigs, I wont leave until they let me know whether I am in or not

Shall I [quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1361920098' post='1993224'] I'm a bit more concerned that he might not approve of this 'detective work' and track me down for revenge!! [/quote] Shall I re edit my post where I said big stu nailed it

There is an email address on the page , I reckon he will find 20 emails pointing him to the thread

I think Ted has it nailed , there is a photo on there that is a ringer . ed for muppetry

Even the smile is the same Top thread all round , great fun and brilliant digging by mep , class

Si, I do vote for what I think is best , don't worry , I only made the comment because there was a vote for mine , I was being a little tongue in cheek really . I take it as read that my own is the best , but will always vote for someone elses to be fair .

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1361898906' post='1992726'] yay i got a vote [/quote] Same here , I am chuffed .

I have had a few good listens and put my vote in , and I didn't vote for my own

voted , and it appears to be a popular one , but it is superb .

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1361657312' post='1989055'] Brilliant! My gig on the 28th April at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush London has just been confirmed, how do I get it added to the list please? [/quote] I think there is a thread Nige , If you PM Jim your contact details he will add to a list he has Emailed around , then just keep your eye in and shout up that you want it I guess , organise the baton handover and away you go. It is going to be fairly organic in the route , so if local guys organise a few dates to keep it local before it moves on fair enough , but as long as it keeps moving it will be good . Ed to add Do you have it back Jim ? is the next date available ?

quality entry again this month , some beautiful entries , it will take a few listens to decide on those .

Have a good one , get the tin out and all your crowd taking pics

Welcome DAve [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1361580043' post='1988036'] Now here's the real tester- say "Aluminium".................... (but seriously, there are 2 I's in it). [/quote] Alumilium

Hi Les , Welcome There are a few BCers around this neck of the woods , I have not used combos before as I always thought I needed LOUDER, but my rig is getting (physically ) smaller but with just as much presence. I have seen outfits play with smallish combos but I guess it all depends on the overall output you need or want at the rooms you'll play. There is some marvellous lightweight ( ) stuff out there which sounds superb. I tend not to read too much about a lot of it as I will end up with bad GAS I have sold stuff on the bay , but only when pushed , try on here though the marketplace is very active and may bring a result.

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1361581015' post='1988045'] Cheers for the recomendations I will deffo invest in these they look good, any pointers are appreciated I really dont have any idea what I am doing, cheers mate I am just going to change DAWs from Ableton to Pro tools 10, so this will be a really good move or a really bad one, time will tell. Any thoughts on the move anyone? [/quote] I have orderd these 2 books aswell , cheers Skol, but for DAW I am sticking with Reaper for a few reasons really , firstly it seems to produce some great results in the hands of a few talented types on here , so advice is a plenty and very kindly offered, secondly, I have just started to get my head around the way it works and how it can do stuff, and thirdly , probably most important for a tightwad like me , is that I have paid for it .

The disadvantage of getting entries in early is that you can't wait to get to the end of the month to start the next one , and that makes the month drag , this is the loooooooonnnnnnggggesssssstt February I can recall for a very long time

Ah I didn't realise it was THAT complicated , thanks for the pointer I have to think of another question now , that goes along the lines of embedding a google map in the forum. I shall have a quick shuffty before I ask it though , there maybe some clues in the youtube method
