Skolmeister , the poll time says it closes at 22:59 and I can't find the buttons to edit it buddy

I'm not so sure , I know a fair few youngsters that have bikes , but they don't do the hairy arsed bike 'scene' if you will. They enjoy a party but not necessarily the stereotypical hog, classic or Brit type thing

We had a blast tonight , we took a cancellation at a new (to us) venue . Two 45 minute sets , start at 9.15 and finish by 11.00 . The hardest part of the gig was what to leave out, as the amount of time we had meant we had to lose 45 minutes from our normal set !! The gig went great and we reckon we'll get 3 or 4 gigs a year from the venue. One thing that we all noticed, was that we normally only ever do 1 gig a weekend as we put in a lot of effort , well, singist does, and a 'short' gig like this would enable double headers no problem , onwards and upwards 👍

I use a 5pin din /USB adaptor and latency has never been an issue plugged straight in.

Dean Friedman , lucky stars . The only reason to thank them would be if the radio wasn't in a thousand pieces after a kicking off the scaffold if it got played !

That's all well and good , but did you all do Lois Griffin

I reckon you should buy a couple Mick , put them in a box under your bed for a couple or three years and then offer them in the marketplace

It was about 15 miles for the first 5 years , but the rehearsal rooms near me, now have the drummer and singist coming my way, and as it saves them bringing , setting up , breaking down and unloading. A 2 hour rehearsal now gets 2 hours playing. 2 miles max from me 👍👍

Neil young , just everything , durges, lyrically either abysmal or far to clever for me, my heckles are just busting to rise on the very mention of his name. The f***ing house of the f***ing rising f***ing sun ....aaaaarrrrgggghhh American pie , I am happy to eat a bit of it but I just can't bear hearing it

I'm in what we have here is a random composition attained by preloading some drum patterns and instrumentation onto the keyboard , choosing a style for it to play in (C&W with a little seg in the middle to ID it) and then choosing a chord sequence for it to follow. The random bit comes in as I chose 3 chords all a semitone apart and changed them on every beat , except the little country bit in the middle, this put the 3 chords on a different part of the beat each time around until 12, I think, I couldn't work that bit out ! Still , it seems to work , but may of benefitted from shortening a touch , but I was in the groove playing it and couldn't find the way out of it enjoy

@Lantis ...... fair play Douglas

Oh,, we have a challenge in progress i am well impressed so far, great stuff, I have a musical outline ready to enter , but think a vocal would work on it. I might upload the instrumental and edit if I get the right voicing , I won't subject you to my dire vocal tones this month

Why would it not be a supportive comment Josie , a little banter and a compliment into the bargain . I suppose context is key though

Not gig related , but the family still finds immense fun recalling about our visit there. The guide was hilarious , it was not that he was a comedian , he was a lovely local lad but his mannerisms, descriptions and presentation were awful to the degree of being pant wettingly awesome.

A brilliant adventure in sound there Paul and a superb explanation . i can't help visualising the padded cell you referred to early on , especially as that is where I would be after tackling a project like that

I heard rumour that a few guitarists had a small amp cranked up behind the showy bank of speakers , mic'd up and through the PA , no one was any the wiser

Why not put the amp in the car park and mic it up from there

Just signed up , having got one under my belt it will be easy enough for the next ones , the pub suggested I invoice the £3 on top of the gig fee , so I did

2 because that's how EZ drummer sets it out

I guess so Doug , I've just closed this one to try it out I think we should have paid more attention at mod school

Indeed , but not as as popular as yours congratulations , a fine song and a worthy winner. I'm sure Dad will be along with your certificate in due course 👍 If you can find a picture and drop into Skol we can fire up the May challenge

The Tiv is normally a good mix , I've been there a few times and it's always been ok , funny enough though , I saw Uriah heap twice in 2 years and the first gig was definitely better than the second

Its a brilliant insight and very interesting how much needs to be done , but I reckon you are looking to produce a top quality audio presentation in a 'great mix'. Sometimes, just 'listenable' will do , and I guess while some of that is subjective , we can vote with our feet.

That sounds cool , our facebook page is https://m.facebook.com/TheRazorsBand/?ref=bookmarks we update the page regularly with gigs so hopefully we will be back on the island in the summer 👍
