That Graeme, is a bloody big party in such a tiny house , love it , i've missed these from you , excellent

That's great that Douglas , the story unfolds really well , very clever

I've had a couple of days , a little inspiration and ......and .....and........ I've learnt to sing* , Oh yes * well it's relative I guess , I will do a bit of turd polishing tomorrow, but it is all recorded

Unplugged ?

Mrs Lurks was watching (seemingly endless iPlayer repeats of) the greatest dancer, and the turn vines on to sing a song . Mrs Lurks asks why the singer has an ear piece in ? Durh i said , it is so she can hear the music and pitch her voice accurately , it is called monitoring and then explained loads more in my inimitable way Mrs Lurks followed up , why don’t they do this in Musical theatre then oh ! Thats me stumped , I had to conclude that they were far better trained ! Is that right ?

My life you guys are quick off the mark this month , I know it’s a short month but I haven’t even had time to plug the bass in yet

The middle leg , chester to Ludlow (ish) is doable by me in about a month or so

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 !
