I was just about to post this, but makes me happy to know that others know about Lincoln . He was a very good friend of mine, and my first bass teacher. The first person to really light a spark in me to play bass and pursue music. I had already played for a year or so, but just sitting and learning CDs in my bedroom, but meeting Lincoln was my inspiration to look further than that, to really try to understand playing, to get out and gig etc. He would charge me £10 per hour to just cover his expenses, simply because he didn't consider himself a 'teacher', and saying he just enjoyed coming around to talk and just jam through ideas. He was this discussion and jamming, that inspired me to try and take the next step. We became good friends as I grew up, often meeting to discuss what we were upto, or traveling miles to each other's gigs. In fact he gave me my first dep gig, at the age of 17 with a band he played often for. Scary, but invaluable experience. He played with a a lot of artists across many genres from Rock to Jazz and 70's disco and nailed them all. I remember I was seeing him at the the Jazz Cafe playing for Linda Lewis, I offered him a drink at the bar, so he stated wine, when the bar guy asked me what size.....Lincoln very quickly chimed in with "Large" haha . I genuinely don't believe I'd be playing bass today if it wasn't for Lincoln, so this news a couple of years ago was hard-hitting. Even though I knew he was very ill, it was difficult to get news of the condition he was in towards the end, and as such unfortunately visiting the hospital was not possible, which is the most up-setting part. A lovely guy, a fantastic player, an accomplished soloist and accompanist. Taken way too soon. When I hear of Funeral details, I'll try and post them here in good time.

i was there for the Music/Nature camp this past April, all I can do is echo what Atle has said above. More than worth it, a great place to learn about music, nature, others and most importantly, yourself. Highly highly recommended..........and probably cheaper than you think! Especially considering the exchange rate. Si p.s. Yes the food is especially good!

Hi Bud, This is quite unusual. When you're tracking, are you using the direct monitor switch on or off? If on, you're hearing the sound of your guitar/bass exactly as its fed into the interface (you'll want to disable your DAW input monitoring in this case as mentioned above), if this is fine, I'd suggest the interface is working as it should. If you switch the direct monitor off and so therefore are monitoring your signal through your DAW and the problem occurs, then there maybe a DAW setup issue here. There looks to potentially be an issue with Logic perhaps, although not necessarily the same as your issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5257076?tstart=0 Do you have the same issue with midi as well as audio? Do you have the same issue when using a different DAW? If you don't have another DAW, checkout Reaper as a 'free-to-evaluate', should do what you need to test. Let me know how you get on.

Last reduction to £750 At this price, you'll need to collect from me in either High Wycombe where I work, or in Welwyn Garden City where I live. I'm sometimes in and out of central London too. If a meet-up halfway is required, £800 price stands I have also found a nice Yamaha 615, so this is now FOR SALE only, no trades. Cheers Si
