What in people's estimation is essential in the EQing of a good RECORDED flatwound sound? I ask because I have just done some recording which is currently unmixed, [b]so to be fair all I've heard is a rough [/b] - but it strikes me that however the engineer approaches the mix, and then also the mastering, that the flatwounds currently sound a little dead, drab, and muddy. I KNOW in many ways that's a flatwound sound, but when playing through my amp I can EQ it to get a lovely woody sound which has the flatwound vibe but a sweet crispy break up also - and that's gone missing right now. It was recorded on my Ibanez Musician, into the desk first off and then re-amped through my TC rig. I guess I'm just asking for a few tips, I'm not aux fait in any way with engineering, but I'm thinking the untreated sound right now is lacking any mid-range and that might be a way to go? Thanks for any input.

It's not really my musical scene, but below is a neat compilation of some of Coventry's local indie and rock bands (and the odd folk outfit thrown in). As a snapshot of regional local music, it tells us that [i]original[/i] music is clearly still thriving, despite the efforts of Cowell and co.

I'll be interested to see the price on this [size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size]

We've got a new release of our own due out in Feb - but in the meantime, we feature on this compilation of soundscape porn and raging math rock. Called 'A Cheery Wave From Stranded Youngsters', follow this link for a pay what you fancy digital download.

Thanks Beta and Skol - I hadn't seen this.

Would that be Porn?

Yeah been doing that, but it all moves too quick for me! [size=4] [/size]

Cheers Mr

I have a recording of an original unreleased track by a local band, so it won't be on any digital platforms etc or anywhere on the internet for tab reference - and I was wondering if there is any software I can upload it to that will tell me the chords/notes. Got most of it, but struggling on a bridge section - deciphering by ear obviously not my biggest strength? [size=4]Thanks for any help[/size]

Yep just played the Nottingham leg with them last week - amazing. Lots of strobes tho - not nice for migraines [size=4] [/size] (Howdy Greg, by the way)

Where are these made Billy?

Ah pooh. But could you feel the viiibe we left in the air? ha ha. Maybe next time.

Hi thanks for the input guys. Johnny Boy we're playing 14th Nov also in Nottingham with I'm Not From London promoters - venue TBC. I'll post the details for sure.

We're playing at the Bohunk Institute in Nottingham, 4th Oct, supporting the amazing Nordic Giants. Details here: [url="https://www.facebook.com/events/618528204846160/"]https://www.facebook...18528204846160/[/url]

I'd make sure the family trip STARTED in Denmark Street [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Was singing the praises of Wunjo on a different thread last year. Good guys.[/size]

Thanks again guys - Si, the Fuzzrocious stuff sounds goooood Dannybuoy - does the Cream Pie respond as well also to solid state?

Thanks for all the replies so far guys - liking the idea of the one knob (ooh er) Wren and Chuff and its minimal grit - yet in contrast also the idea of the MXR with the two channel option type thing.

You might as well tell me now [/size] [size=4] you tease[/size]

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1378235197' post='2197533'] Here's a sample of a fretless Bitsa Jazz bass into a DHA VT1 EQ and stright into ProTools - no compression or other effects were used, just the DI out of the pedal. It'll do everything from a leetle beet of greet up to silly filth .

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1378229744' post='2197427'] Dave Hall Amps (DHA) VT pedal. Great for adding "hair/fur" to the sound. [/quote] Ouch. Pricey tho!
