I think Django’s grandson has pretty much nailed a definition of Jazz

The family Lurks are getting stuck in , I’m trying for some cheap votes with the grandson on vocals , Lurksalittle in formal mode as well as singing hopefully , loads of panpipes as I can’t find a bagpipe VST, all with a good dose of political satire thrown in . It might just end up on the studio floor yet though

Might sound daft , but check which account you have asked invapay to pay into , you might be looking in the wrong place . i had similar a while back , I would normally get band payments into my personal account , so was looking there, but I had actually used the joint account for invapay! It is so infrequent that we get payed that way , that I forgot

I’ve not used a B3 as an interface , but I did use a B2.1 to start up , I would never contemplate it again. i recall pulling my hair out with latency issues at the time , a proper interface is the way to go every time 👍

There are a few about , the one I use is a ‘Waves’ product that I picked up for a few quid on one of their give always. they are always having a sale on

I don’t sing either I Plinky plonk out a melody on the piano, learn it to memory , set the auto tune to just hit the notes in it , and hold on tight trying to warble somewhere near it . Its great fun , though I get a bit frustrated occasionally when I realise that I don’t have the voice of an angel

Why thank you. that in fact, reminds me that December’s challenge has traditionally been based around recording/reworking a cover rather than a new composition This opens up the chance for BCers to enter material they have done in the year , rather than struggle to work in the Christmas run up, which can be a bit busy for many. @Skol303 @Dad3353 gents? Same again do you think 🤔

The first thing I’d try in your position was a 3.5mm connector cable from the headphone out of the amp to the input mic on the laptop would that not work ?

congratulations 👍 excellent piece and a worthy winner

Hmm me thinks you didn’t leave enough room for a spare guitar solo then

Bloody hell , are you stalking me

Not necessarily , it might initiate an ‘it’s me or him’ debate without the confrontation , clear the air , and solve the issue one way or the other. decisions need to be made to get a result out of the situation or festering will be the outcome , and that isn’t healthy

So he’s a knob then

The trouble is that it can get very political and messy, and it can drag on for ages with beaching and rumblings that can suck the life out of everything you are trying to do. If you are not the type to to want to go through this, then then leaving is a good option , if you are the type to mainly go with the flow then, fitting in with a new crew should work out ok . sometimes a resignation can actually be a catalyst for change, as it makes the situation blindingly obvious and shows a seriousness of intention that can’t be ignored

Have you checked out my soundcloud account ? I think you’ll find that I will offer some decent competition , though I started a bit later than Cliff

It sounds like he is a control freak , if the band is a multiple album selling outfit earning you a great living, then he is also a great guy to play with , if you are pub covers band, he is a knob

Last night was my last gig with the Razors ...and it was awesome ! Collectively, we played the 2 sets the best we ever have , the sound seemed the best it ever was , and we got a really good turnout . I got a good send off from the lads, who insist that I am only on a sabbatical! onwards and upwards , let’s see what next year brings, never say never as the warbler keeps telling me 😂

I have pro 17’s and if I’m honest if 10’s were a flat response I’d prefer them . I do feel a touch disconnected when at gigs though when I’m playing they are fine. its a bit odd feeling the thump from the bass drum at a show yet without the corresponding thud 🤔 with the bass, if I am standing in top of the cab it can sound a bit quiet.

I’ve been there , twice, while they ended up fun gigs , it does leave a bit of a sour taste ☹️

Ah , but which end did you start at

Dan reed network last night , excellent show from a very talented bunch, support from Hollowstar and Mason Hill. the sound was half decent, it’s the first I have attended using ACS ear plugs and I think I may have to have a different filter in them , while the clarity of the sound was fine , it just seemed a bit quiet it was an odd sensation, feeling the bass drum kick me in the guts yet hearing the volume at 3 when it should have been 11

Coincidentally , I nearly engineered that very same scenario last night , there was a pool table behind him and he suggested putting his amp on it , only in jest , but I pushed him to do it , but he declined , still, I wasn’t going to make an issue of it as my input , my PA and my lights will soon be otherwise engaged. oddly the landlord wanted to rebook but heard that we were disbanding , I immediately retorted that it was not the case and that they would get a new bass player , the lads looked surprised at that , but they have had 6 weeks to get on with it !

Lovely little gig in a tiny little pub , not much crowd but very appreciative and enthusiastic . sound check was great , about 20 mins in my brother indicates to lift the vocal a touch , done start of the second set my brother indicates to lift the vocal a bit , done. strangely , everyone who was standing in front of the band at the start is now about 5mtrs further back 🤔 The guitarist incrementally turns himself up all the time and the vocal gets drowned , so everything ends up louder than everything else. I only have to play 2 more gigs with this bellend of a six stringer

I'm in then , its a quick one this time as I have loads to do this month Its going off in my bed Its going off in my bed And I just love it I just cant stop it Yeah I just love it Do it again Do it again Cos its all going off in my bed Fireworks forever she cried She lit the fuse when I was still inside Then She looked at me with a vengeance when she said Im gonna set it off in your head Now its going off in my head its going off in my head And I don’t want it I just cant stop it no I don’t want it take it away take it away cos its all going off in my head
