Excellent , I am sure everyone approaches things differently , but if you struggle to get inspiration for the second half , copy and paste the first , call it 2 verses, put your lyrics over it and you are done

Yep , keep looking !

Try the balanced leads jack cables first , I get the hiss if my piano is also connected to the inputs with ‘mono’ unbalanced jack leads , when I remove them from the interface input the noise disappears . i will one day change these leads for balanced

Well done @Dad3353 the cream rising to the top young man

I wonder how many people pull the trigger in the evening after having a few bevvies and wake up regretting the evenings decisions

I don’t live in Ludlow but I know a BCer who has a business based there , I am paying him a visit in the week I’ll PM for contact details

I could get it to Ludlow in the week. If anyone can do the next bit, let me know , but I’ll have to pick it up by Sunday afternoon , if you get fully stuck , I’ll pick it up and we could arrange courier collection from mine.

I think all BCers should wear a Christmas hat , or at least a hat , that way we could all be just a bit unsure ......

My midi keyboard is fine , but the app won’t talk to the computer the computer does not have Bluetooth and the phone won’t talk midi to it via cable

Cheers but I am trying to be too clever and use the kit I’ve already got i don’t need more stuff cluttering the room so I think I can do without for a while

Lurks-and-one most probably (Dave) but I’ll check with the others, though the following bass day might be a stretch for them

I can see me killing 2 birds with one stone on this one , a stop over in Nottingham and then the Manchester bass show on the way home

Truth is the app is called weeel https://klevgrand.se/products/weeel looks the biz and for 99p , with cable or Bluetooth connectivity, I thought worth the punt , I can’t find instructions! after googling I found apps and drivers that all purport to enable midi connectivity midimittr , loopmidi but I couldn’t get them to sort themselves out The PC doesn’t have Bluetooth so that’s a no go the piano / keyboard is a proper digital /midi affair that I am pretty much wedded to , unless my uncle Dave can find another shipping container consignment for an insurance write off reaper is a PITA to write pitch bend midi data into I thought adding a little bit of kit to play with would be an absolute cinch so all in all , I thank you all for your kind input , but I’ll park the idea until I find that GAS for one bites a lot harder

Im ready to put mine up ....ooh er missus Not being particularly au fait with the deads , I had a listen through to some toons and quite enjoyed it, cheers Douglas. Now musically, I just got the guitars out and bashed a few chords and tried to add different some variation in the patterns to reflect their penchant to jam from one to another, though I did keep a theme through it. Lyrically, the only thing that I could really come up with as that this picture could well have been the bumper sticker mentioned in Don Henleys boys of summer , so that is the way I went. Drums are EZ drummer , rhythm guitar- vg iron , other guitar- a red ibby, acoustic -yammy, keys - technicy , Bass- gordon smithy .....er just a warning ........vocals by me aswell

I’m pretty sure I haven’t got the capability on my machine

Ok I don’t understand the words , but I’ve sussed the concept of it i thought I was looking for what reaper calls ‘envelopes’ that I often see for volume or panning but no...... in the midi editor , there is a scroll list which offers the facility to mess with the pitch it’s not very intuitive but hey , one small step for lurks , cheers BRX

The computer doesn’t seem to have blue tooth , so I’ve got to upgrade it to windows 8.1 then I think it does , oh I am not looking forward to this , but hey ho

There are lots of words on the topic but I can honestly say that they sound way too complicated and I don’t understand half of them !

Many thanks for that , I’ve seen stuff that shows it, but it seems like I am missing a right chunk of knowing anything about it The piano has no wheels , as it were, so I am stuck I guess !

May be I’m missing something ? either way a cable has to come back from the pedal board to an amp? Get a longer lead to go an extra bit around the front of the pedal board , or go wireless

I have a keyboard that I have connected to the PC which sends the midi via usb , I remember a faff setting it up , but it works , the only bit that it doesn’t do is pitch bend/modulation stuff and I would like to play with this as a thing. now I could go out and buy a controller and am very close to doing so , but do I really need another bit of kit in my room? I’m not sure I do , so a bit of searching finds a little iPhone app that seems to do the job , 99pence , that’s got to be worth a punt , but here we go again and it’s a proper ball ache. i have searched and read so much crap my head is nearly done in and I am sure there is a really simple first step to take but the crux is , how the f**k do I get midi from the phone to the computer , once the connection is good , I can tell reaper to use it , but getting actual midi signal to the PC is the first hurdle many thanks all

I have heard a pipe banned , and I don’t think it will change any time soon

Woah , calm down tiger .......... I had to sit down when I read that heretical gem . ba***pes are not a joking matter

Try writing and recording , it’s also a bit frustrating sometimes but you’ll be amazed at satisfying it can be when you nail a half decent one. it keeps those musical fingers active as well

I did only 3 last year , all deps for the guy who replaced the guy who replaced me in the band . 3 wedding gigs over 2 weekends in August , and honestly , if I had realised what they had sold them for , I probably wouldn’t have done them! I like the lads mind and I wouldn’t want them embarrassed and sold up crapcreek
