What are you listening to right now?

Ive just been listening to these I'll be voting after a few more listens -
I have been considering moulded plugs for a while , mainly due to vanity i have etymotic er20 which I always use for rehearsal , but not so much gigs , my thinking is that rehearsing I tend to be facing drums and guitar amps , but gigging I mainly have the protection of facing away from the noise source. Now I reckon on that score that if I bought the ACS pro 10 's , I would get enough protection for gigs both playing and attending , though the 17's seem to be the ones they recommend for this , has anyone tried both or either for a comparison of both spl reduction but clarity of sound ?

Saw a great couple of bands on Friday a young band from ellesmere port , Turbulence, great music and playing but need a bit more presence , but they'll grow into that. another bunch though not kids , Michigan from Warrington , most excellent . both bands worth following and I will definitely catch them again

Give it a few days , kind of bump

Yup , I think I'll put this one to bed

Am I weird because I've never played guitar?
lurksalot replied to thepurpleblob's topic in General Discussion
I know a few of the classic chords , and to be honest it is easier to 'play a song' on a guitar , though I can do the same on a piano , a bass is far more discretionary when it comes to accompaniment. though to make a bollocks of my argument, to 'play a song' might indicate a confidence in an ability to sing it -
Ah , but there we have the crux of the infinite chase of tone
-
Errrrr , no ...until the next dude finds you used a cheapo AF set and rounded the heads on every bolt on the motor , thus rendering further improvement a total PITA

quality link my sound guru its got got me thinking though , if I were to invest a touch into the wife's hobby , and invest in some Miele acoustic vacuum bags , would the room sound 'cleaner'

Ok , so having digested most of this thread , I'm thinking I'm close to having a great sounding room , but do you think that the plaster on the walls need a treatment with a subtle warm buttermilk with a hint of magnolia calico or a harder apple white eggshell Taxi ......

We played a pub not too far away , took a few followers and friends and it all went very well , got some great compliments from the locals and got invited back . A touch surreal on the last tune , one of the 'ladies' who were quite enthusiastic in their dancing , decided the band were worth a blimp of her breasts , I was in bulk but singer and lead guitar were like rabbits in the head lights
-
Our singer uses in ears but occasionally has moans that it drops out if I stand in the way of the signal , oh how I manage to look serious while chuckling away to myself . One problem is that he has started playing a bit of guitar as well , but he can't hear it , so he has to mic up his amp , now he can hear it in his ears but has no idea how loud/quiet he is in the mix . We set it quite low and leave him to it

Your funk knows no bounds dude

I did really fancy one , and tried to get to the LBGS to try one out , I didn't get there, but @Merton kindly did a quick review for me . The price point seemed to be an issue, though the bass was well put together. I think I would like to like one, but I would need to motivate myself to play one first , I can't take a punt at those prices
-
This one hits new levels for me , because it nearly actually worked out in some degree to my first idea , though in all honesty, the 'rawk' concept morphed into a touch more 'Kaempfert' but it was fun enough for Lurksalittle to get involved warning of course .....I sing on it
-
that is so funny on a similar note.. our rhythm guitarist left , he did lots of BVs and harmonies , so the singer buys a multi voice harmonics box to compensate. This box is uber complicated and uses lead guitarist plugged in to analyse the chords to create the harmonies . Neither knew how to use it effectively and very nearly caused the implosion of the band , especially when I started taking a microphone to add a touch of focus to the vocal line up
-
How odd , I'd never have picked up on that myself , but now you've mentioned it , I can recall a few occasions where I reckon that to be a thing

Does my pub band really need 4 PA speakers?
lurksalot replied to solo4652's topic in General Discussion
Get the drummer to sit on his own sub , he'll feel it and then ditch the rest of noise fest -
To be honest, I'd stick to headphones just for now, simple cheapest ones until you have got the hang of routinely plugging instruments in , recording them , very rough mixing them . that in my case took a big load of work adding the complication of monitors at this stage would have just done my head in, you will get an array of choices and preferences , where to put them and how many thousands of pounds to spend on your room to make them sound right
