[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1491001488' post='3269852'] Well pleased to see 24 voters..! Someone must be doing something right. Good stuff from all (yes, even Lenny, albeit grudgingly... ). And the picture for April is... (Bearing in mind today's date, I'm apprehensive ...) [/quote] Not just a great turnout for the entries, but I concur, 24 voters is great to see , thanks to all for getting involved. Congrats to SH73 , a well deserved win

Ive voted now, 3 jumped out at me to be fair , seemed to either fit really well or were just great. well done all for another fine selection , well worth the listen

this has been a complete rush but i'm in. it's always great when I listen to soundcloud cos invariably the next tune is the Weeds investigate : duality of man , it just puts a smile every time anyway more mundanely here's mine https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/first-rule-of-the-pool

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1490132700' post='3262562'] Being frustrated in a band is not normal. For those of us that do our homework and only join bands that meet our requirements including material requirements you mitigate that frustration. Blue [/quote] I get your positivity , but in reality ANY relationship involves compromise , and if its with 3 or 4 others the compromise can lead to frustration , homework is relevant , but situations change and develop, managing your own expectations is useful in this regard.

This month is a right struggle for me I am in the middle of a kitchen build , mad at work , new band start up , loads of songs to learn with arrangements as we are a 3 piece musically , and while I am sure I can find time to record something , my head can't find the space to get the angle , still a few days left ...break over , back to it

Ah OK thanks Dad So like having a full perm every time would be boring and unnatural, so a full perm then a soft wave , then a frizz all done randomly would look much better . I might try that

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1489537113' post='3257819'] I'm sorry, Lurks, I forgot that not all here are members of the intelligentsia. 'C3' refers to the 'piano' key that will trigger the bass drum through MIDI. The notes are numbered by octave, where C0 is a very low C indeed. Typical drum configurations, such as General MIDI (GM...) use C for the bass drum, C# for the snare, and so on. For the purposes of my experiment I could have chosen any key at all; I just naturally went for the 'standard' key for the bass drum. I'm assuming that the concept of a Round Robin is within your grasp (generous as I am this evening...), and that velocity levels hold no secrets from you..? If not, I'll elaborate further. Anything else too cloudy for you..? ... To tell the truth, most of this stuff was way beyond my ken a week or so ago, and anyway, I forget it as fast (or faster...) than I pick it up..! Old age, eh..? [/quote] Cheers Dad , I do recall seeing numbers on the midi keyboard now you come to mention it Now as for a round robin, well there's the plump one in my garden that loves mealworms , and the bet where you get perms from 3 picks and that's it

Well thank you Douglas , that is very generous of you , now , can we go back to the first bit I started to lose it ...... C3, what's that all about

not as I have experienced , I even changed computers after 3 years and lost the activation code , an email later and they sent me another for the new computer , quality support and a top DAW

I have a b2.1 and yes copy the nearest patch to the user section and fiddle away , RTM and it does explain the detail

I've got Reaper and a 2i2 , so I'll pass on this

Well done gents , 2 very worthy winners, I'm chomping at the bit now so get your photos to the Skolmeister so we can start Marches

Yep some beauties in there again. Just a quick reminder that it's a short month is February , the winner will be declared midnight Tuesday , so dive in while you can

and the singer had his words on a music stand !!

I have done as much as I can now while it is based on the picture, there is a darkness to this one, a close colleague has had a family tragedy and I couldn't help but be influenced by it. Ez drummer bashes out the beat, and I picked up my Ibanez 6 string and started making some dark tones using Waves Guitar3 , then when I had something close, I built a bass patch to suit it. The lyrics are simple but to the point on this one, enjoy Broken https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/broken

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1487495982' post='3240123'] So if Basschat was a pub, it'd be one of those with knackered carpets, cheap pints of 80 shilling and bags of pork scratchings behind the bar [/quote] And most importantly , the wall hanger with Big D's that slowly revealed itself when you had your nuts ;-)

I have had a brilliant couple of hours . I managed to get a focus on this one but I do need a vocal , I am going to give it a go because it is a bit personal the way it has panned out , but if I cant do it justice I will try and get someone. I have only had a short time to get it recorded , but its one of those that has been seeping into me since about 4 days after I posted the picture. I need angry , but tuneful , I can do angry , but the tune bit tends to be just beyond me, I'll wait till the house is empty till I get some screaming done , then we'll slap it through the autotune.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1486938826' post='3235791'] Just to set the record straight the bass jam was not my work, I was hiding behind a pillar. [/quote] DOH it was BIg Lump. ....Ade who set that up , the anagram thing got me 😳

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1486850057' post='3235081'] Ugh. I am going to have to back out due to a family situation. I am really sorry (and gutted). To add insult to injury I had to watch Wales lose while waiting with the injured party on A+E. Ho hum. If there is any hint of a loss I will chuck £10 into the coffers. [/quote] I hope all is OK Owen, funds should be fine , thanks for the offer .

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1486898561' post='3235303'] So, loaded the cabs, amp, bag & stands into the boot. First bass loaded onto back seat, second bass being loaded into front seat footwell then I discovered this. [url="http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/zedsled/media/flat%20001_zps9atow2ca.jpg.html"][/url] Not a happy bunny. Played a gig in a rough hole last night band there was glass on the car-park. Thought I'd got away with it as the drive home was fine! Going to be spending the afternoon sorting this out now. Have fun everyone, I was really looking forward to this. If your short of funds from today to cover the costs, please let me know and i'll happily transfer my £10. [/quote] Thats a shame , I hope you got it sorted, OK Funds are OK , finished up with a few pennies over which we can put to the next one.

[quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1486934316' post='3235740'] Definitely a blast. As i'd imagined, i came away with serious gas for a MM sabre. Also, i left my stands there like an idiot. Did someone grab them? Is was a silver one and a 3 way. I'd greatly appreciate getting them back [/quote] Yup Ive got them , they are not transport friendly are they , I had to cut them in half to make them fit in my cable bag If you remember where my place is you can pop round for them

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1486932967' post='3235717'] Yeah but a good one buddy. Only had to punch in the info once. [/quote] Quality , You are all most welcome , don't forget Chris sorted the room and thats what kickstarted the event. There were some lovely bits of kit and some lovely playing Highlights , eads inpromptu bass jamb and his subsequent conducting thereof Vinny's daisy rock monster Kevvo66 little schroeders , I thought they were excellent Mister T's groove through his Vanderkley , smooth Tommorichards 8x10 a true beast with some awesome sounds through it. Cake , many thanks Josie , and for the stories behind your lovely axes. Funkgods lovely array,all with string height measured with a rizzla Bassmansam for the pictures when he susses out how to upload them and everyone for attending , and apologies for any mentions I've missed , everyone brought something to the party , just by being there .

Thats a shame Les , best wishes to your mum. We'll give you some proper stage time next bash so that you can do your NW Kebab house presentation
