but...is it any good for metal?

I got some D'Addario flatwounds probably 7 or 8 years ago for I think about 30-35 quid? Put them away but have been using them for about 6 months now. I kind of resent spending £40-50 every few months ( I was using Elixirs which I also like) so I've started using these and I've also really started appreciating Cliff Williams tone and I believe he usesd flats in the studio. Anyway Im really enjoying the feel of them and they seem to sit in the mix really well with my band. Obviously the big plus is I don't need to replace them! They seem pretty pricey now as well.

make it look so effortless, great stuff.

go to system preferences, security and privacy and you can change the settings to allow it to open the download.

Carl Thompson?

RCF? These are our weapons of choice, lovely speakers from a respected brand, https://clubtek.co.uk/pair-rcf-315a-free-stands-cables-p-6654.html

Bedec Multi Surface paint? Is it black? I use it on all sorts, wood, plastic and metal. Super handy stuff.

All good points folks. I will say that the tactile control of hardware (ie sliders and knobs) on the Livetrack has been super useful for us as we don't have a soundman and our drummer puts the console by the side of his kit. This is useful for quick adjustments to the sound once we get going if necessary, ie more vocal in the monitor, less guitar out front (the usual). We do a sound check out front with the ipad (singer does this) but theres always usually a reason to adjust once we start and the zoom does this nice and quick. We found faffing on a tablet midway through a gig was a bit of a pain/stressful. Luckily we are all apple fans so no issues with the ipad but it is daft that they haven't incorporated Android.

Zoom Live Track L-20 user here. We had the Behringer XR18 about 5 years ago, although it is a fantastic bit of kit we kept it for about 3 months and moved it on as the lack of a physical fader type consol was off putting. IMO the zoom has pretty much most of the benefits of the XR18 for our needs at least, I really like the ability to record 20 seperate tracks (stems) on an SD card straight off the console to load into my DAW for mixing. Plus it can also be used with an ipad for remote walk about mixing like the XR18. Awesome preamps as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zySOqjdaMA

or this? seriously, why buy new?

or this, so many great second hand basses on this community

on here

That Melda MDynamicEq is really nice, just downloaded it.

Blimey that escalated qu..er slowly!

That jfet input into the audient is pretty sweet on its own IMO, keep it simple, maybe a little compression vst but thats it.

true!

Try one of these, you won't go back. https://www.porteranddavies.co.uk/products/kt-platform/

same here, Im very impressed with my origin effects stacked compressor knock off from LYR. Took a couple of weeks to arrive but so far its been flawless.

Even where I live in the sticks of Devon my local charges £6 quid a pint. I'm frankly amazed anyone can afford to come out and watch a band for free these days, never mind pay for a ticket as well. Hope the gig goes well regardless. Sometimes its crushing when you outnumber the punters but sometimes it can be fantastic. We played a tiny place last night but there must have been 30/40 people crammed into it so it felt packed!

with the back of Hercules.

nah..it wouldn't sell...

Love them both but that Ibanez is absoloutely stunning.

All good advice. Boost your mids and cut a little low end just for starters. See if that helps cut through.

fair point. Just a suggestion for something different.

The detail is in the "free" department! As in time or money!??
