How many drum machines do you have ?
Earbrass replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Other Instruments
Soma are certainly one of the more interesting manufacturers out there. I recently sold a Lyra-8 after I'd owned it a little over a year. Built like a tank. I used it to record weird space noises and textures for use in the space-rock band I play keys for, and it's great for that, but not really for much else. I have many hours of recordings from it that I can sample from to use live, and plenty of weird plug-ins so I can make many different versions of any given bit of the recordings, so it seemed like time to move it on. -

Earbrass replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Other Instruments
I have a Digitakt, and the XLN XO vst (mainly for the great sample library and sample search facilities). I can't imagine wanting or needing anything else. For a while I was intrigued by the Soma Pulsar 23, but I watched a ton of YouTube videos on it and never saw one where anything I would describe as listenable music was produced using it, and so the fascination faded. -
Gemma bought a set of strings from me. No issues, great comms, a pleasure to deal with. Recommended.

Live looping vocals and kantele from Pelkka Poutanen

Driving home from band rehearsal yesterday evening (Rememberance Sunday) this came on Radio 3. I'd not heard it before, and being on the motorway I couldn't hear all the lyrics, so this morning I checked the programme's playlist and looked it up on YouTube. Beautiful and moving. It was written and is also performed by Eric Bogle.

Favourite songs where the bass line is the hook!
Earbrass replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
In this one, it's guitar and bass in unison - does that count? -

Where was this when I was learning to play bass?
Earbrass replied to Happy Jack's topic in General Discussion
Well, it didn't used to, before almost every gig was filmed on someone's phone and then posted to YouTube or Facebook to stand forever as a testament to one's imperfections. -

Did they ever find out who let the dogs out?

I didn't realise A.S. (Artificial Stupidity) had come this far.

Covers bands - are they just parasites? (& how PRS works)
Earbrass replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Money you say? Excellent. Tell me more about this "suckling" process. -

Bands whose live albums trounce their studio efforts
Earbrass replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
The Bruford / Wetton incarnation of King Crimson is one of my all time favourite rock bands - their live output (at the time USA, and more recently the "Great Deceiver" boxed set and "The Night Watch" retrospective releases) are far better than the studio albums imo. -
Selling on Reverb but not using Packlink?
Earbrass replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Reverb has to receive payment from the buyer before they will notify you to send the item, if that helps. -

Yes, entering the tracking info triggers the payment process. -
Litmus playing at Kozfest, Axminster last month. (I am on keys and silly noises - not hugely audible for most of the vid)

If I were being petty, I would suggest that everyone should visit the site, then use the contact info supplied to demand to see, and then demand to delete all the data he's holding on them. That should slow him down a bit. Good job I'm not that petty.
