Total Watts

  1. +1 is the track specifically composed for oceans 11? Can be a bit tricksy clearing soundtrack music for tv at least. We used to be able to manage to clear silvascreen recordings. I'd look there as at least you are not dealing with the movie company. https://www.silvascreen.com/ they tend to re-record with city of prague orchestra or something similar. Its all moved on a lot where if a track was PRS registered, I could clear it easily. Now it has to be a 100% PRS publisher meaning we cant clear the majority of US music and some uk stuff. Eg- I wanted to clear 25 secs of a tv theme for International use (essentially a tv prog for worldwide, all media in perpetuity) and I was quoted around £1500. our music team have to contact each publisher on each occasion so we no longer use any commercial music as we need to sell the programme on fully cleared. libraries that we consistently use are: Extreme Music Audio Network Cavendish music 9lives music London Sync reliable source music Universal production music I'd like to think a podcast would be cheaper! I cant comment on the pricing as we have blanket agreements with them. One thing I will say is that a lot of the libraries will message you personally when you register and help with specific music searches. extreme music have an online live chat option and they send you options real time. They all have have plenty of filters and audio network even used to have an option where you could tap in the tempo with the space bar. I dont tend to do much editorially but if people have specific requests I never search. I just ask the companies for music reccomendations. Ive used lots of Pond5 footage in programmes and its all been very professional and quite easy but never used thier tracks. no doubt they are worth a punt
  2. bass lead amp for me. I tend to use my guitarists pedal tuner as well at the start as I keep my pedal tuner in the bag. With the gigs I do, I rarely use my own amp and quite happy to borrow so as to avoid shifting gear. I tend to sound the same regardless of the amp. Maybe its because I'm always nice to the soundie/ monitor person before hand.
  3. okey doke. the editors and directors tend to follow eachother music wise hence lots of bass but they tend to like using new things all the time. Im having to do some paperwork for an ep at the mo that has absolutely tonnes of music edits within it- nearly every track runs for about 5 secs! These all have to be inputted by me. (its becoming an automated system very soon) On average there are at least 2 songs in each ep that have the word funk in the title this one has :- FUNK-A-FIZE GET-FUNKY Been at the beeb on and off since 2007 (permanently since 2011). We are now BBC Studios as opposed to the public service part. (we now make programmes for pretty much any channel)
  4. Risk101. For some reason I cant quote on my fire tablet
  5. I should add a lot of the good editors are often musicians with good sense of rhythm
  6. What track are you talking about? The theme or the music beds? if.you can give me an example /date of an ep I can tell you exactly who the composer is. Im currently doing the paperwork for series 63 and 64 for my sins. I can't remember the composer of the theme (it's a duo) though the version has been rearranged by Mike mower. Track is called hot to trot on atmosphere. For the past few years all of the music is from music libraries, no commercial music used unless its a special (they then strip out commercial tracks for an international version). So many of the tracks have the word funk in the title! Some of the libraries music is really well made
  7. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  8. charity gigs where too many bands have been booked. being asked to turn up 3 hours before you are playing and then having to wait around whilst the other bands soundcheck. you then have to manage put your gear around theirs with no time for even a line check or tune up.
  9. anton Newcombe from BrianJonestown Massacre. “People talk about Eric Clapton. What has he ever done except throw his baby off a flipin’ ledge and write a song about it?”
  10. I appear to have almost the same model! blue wall for major blues
  11. +1 for Eb2 or Rivoli. I look every year at what they are releasing
  12. Really nice, first time I have seen a recent sg bass with bound neck.
  13. Six by seven are from nottingham I think? one of my favourite bands back in the day. always had amazing support acts as well. Doggen is from nottingham as well- amazing talent

  15. My first purchase in a few years. I've always wanted a block and bound lpb jazz with matching headstock and now have one. Price wise I couldnt resist as it seemed a bargain. Starting to wonder whether it would be more suitable for a funk band and a bit flashy for me! Not seen many of these around, serial number suggests 2004-05, possibly seen one on this site before so maybe the same one.
