  1. Spot on I always thought my voice sounded awful, but then the 3 times I've won the vote have all been with my vocal on them* * But then so have another 40 of my entries that got no votes
  2. Is that 'in' or above ? A great take , I enjoyed that , well played sir ?
  3. Sounds good to me . Listening on a Bluetooth speaker it comes over very well ?
  4. Very nice Dad , a sung vocal would have made it , but touching all the same ?
  5. Kraptonite it would work for a few bands I've seen !
  6. Not exactly changed my world at the time , but certainly let me know I wasn't alone in it , which helps sometimes billy bragg , a New England
  7. As a performer of original work most months , I do think that covering other people's songs can offer an opportunity to be creative . This might also be a good time to offer a reminder that this month in the recording forum , the challenge is not for an original , but a cover, let's be honest , all you have do is something like this
  8. I own the van, the PA, the lights , book a lot of gigs and all the rehearsal time, provide some wit and the repartee , but mostly I really hold back my desire to add BV's , the atmosphere changes significantly if I turn up with a mic and stand ?
  9. Just when I need to be creative the computer decides otherwise ☹️ Something is fishy , fir the first time I have latency in only 1 project and while adding some vocal the project crashed , again first time ever !! I fear hours of investigation ....
  10. I get invited to a shooting event at Christmas by a friend and customer , one of his friends is Martin Blunt from the Charlatans , lovely bloke, but it's a good job he scored some hits with his band because he didn't get any with a shotgun
  11. Well done @Mornats a worthy winner indeed , congratulations ?
  12. I've gone short scale , no regrets here with regard playability , just hankering now for the right tone , and as my love of the spector tone means I need a Spector shorty , but the price of them is beyond me , I recall Vinny had a daisy rock short scale that played beautifully
  13. I've voted , and mine is almost done for next month to be fair we had a right good laugh at the idea and having done a rough mix , lurksalittle loved it , so we should have some family participation again , I am really hanging my hat on the hope that my lad has still got a singing voice , if he can deliver on this it will be proper fun
  14. I think Skol has kept it to 1 vote for this month due to the smaller field
  15. A touch surprising really as I thought the picture would offer a bit of scope , still, easier to pick your choice
  16. A bonus gig last , I got a tag in a FB post by a mate for a pub that had a band cancel for the Friday , I contacted the band got availability and booked it ! Proper price, 2hrs playing and a great step into a pub/town we've been trying for a while , we had a dozen came to see us and a promise of three gigs next year. we had them bouncing by the end of the night, our sound was great and we played really well. a right result ?
  17. I had to wait a day for my ozone code but it came through on email no probs , I am much like Fingers , I probably need my ears educating rather than keep forking out for lots of kit that does the same thing but in different ways , non of which I seem to be able to master ?
  18. you get the mastering assistant in the elements version as well , but not the referencing tool I think
  19. Maybe , but then you can decide if it does the job of rolling my current offering in glitter when I've uploaded the new version
  20. The version I have looks like that but with fewer options across the top , eq , imager and maximiser , but there are a stack of presets to play with it, will take me a month to work which one I like best for each tune ?
  21. If the imager is like a splatter gun graphic then that comes as a link in the 8 main screen , I don't know how to read that though so it is a bit random to me ?
  22. I'll be honest I don't know how much more control I have but there is a lot more detail on the 8 screen and the presents seem more like a pop up
  23. A great insight Bilbo , and in reflection I can see some similarities , bizzarrely the band I'm in seem to be trying to do more functions , thus party tunes seem to be the thing , not a problem in themselves but they don't seem to be giving the musical attention to the party tunes as they can 'jam' them , this is definitely having a derogatory effect on my playing , this is more to attitudes and motivation I would think , still will work it through and resolve it , recognising it is the first step I guess !
  24. I've succumbed to this one ? I haven't had a chance to play with them properly yet though , a quick blast on this months compo entry does brighten it up somewhat, so I might just upload a new version before the vote goes up ed to add , I thought I was buying ozone 7 elements , but the download was for 8 , the authorisation code was for the 7 but was accepted for the ozone 8 , I don't know if I have won a great upgrade , but it's an extra 1 so all is good ?
  25. Played a small local pub last night , a lovely little pub which has had a bit of money spent on it and it looks nice. The stage area filled at least 30% of the room ! And we played to 19 people and a dog , we brought all bar the dog an enjoyable evening , though it does amaze me that the landlord was in the bar playing pool and having a drink with the 3 others in there while paying for 2 bar staff all evening , I don't get that !
