Go easy on the photos and videos of the hookers and coke bowls, please. PM only for those; this is a family-friendly forum.

Good morning, RC, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Doing what all wrong..? ...

Just goes to show, really, how different we all are. For me, it became interesting with Rubber Soul, confirmed by Revolver, and Sgt Pepper was where it ended. From then on, I'd 'moved on', and Abbey Road, the White Album and (were there any more..?) didn't 'do' it for me at all. There was so much more interesting stuff oozing out from Electra Records, the Floyd, Magma... So many more, that had taken the baton and run with it, and run damn fast, too..! No, my nostalgia peaked with Revolver, really, as far as the Beatles were concerned. An analyse of the White Album..? I'll give it a shot, but I doubt that I'll be shedding emotive tears. As for a boxed set, well... And 'Yes, I was there..!'

+1 for the AKG D5 and C5 (our favourite 'live' vocal mics...).

A foot, perhaps..? ...

Good morning, Tim, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I wouldn't put either or both of 'em past you..!

Why would they be interested..?

Good evening, Aliwobble, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. I've family in NZ; do you know them..?

Summit like this, maybe..?

Indeed, but I've already done it, so ...

Good evening, RC, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Here it is, indeed, in its literally soiled state ... ... and here's what it started life as (this is one I acquired later, and is our bass amp...)...

We know; we can feel it from here. It's just triggered a tsunami warning in Java, too.

So..! You're female and you play bass..? Oh, you poor thing, you..! ... ...

You're not looking for a clean sound, then..?

Good afternoon, Seb , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good afternoon, Roberty, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Is there power available, or would you be entirely autonomous..? You'd want condenser mics, and a sound card with at least two mic inputs, both with phantom power. I'd use small-diaphragm condensers, such as the Superlux HI10 (inexpensive, robust...) or Behringer C-2 Stereoset (idem...). We recorded a stunt-car event a couple of years ago, using a Motu Traveller, with several mic's along the length of the track., which worked very well. Unless you specifically want to record the tappet noise from the motor close up, I'd say you'd be best a few feet away, in general. Try your rig out on your own (super..?) car first, to get some idea of what you want to capture, and how..? Good luck with the project; photos here, when you're done, maybe..? Hope this helps. Edit: Anti-wind noise bonnets may be a Good Idea too, depending on weather conditions.

Here is my contribution to the January 2019 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: SH73. The thrill of the chase, for whom..? This is my interpretation of what it means for the horses involved. Please be careful with listening levels, especially with headphones; it may get loud (well, from the start, really...). Bass and guitars played by myself, I also did the drum programming. Horses were involved, of course, to keep the rhythm and express their feelings. No animals were harmed, however, in producing this work. Below, I've added a couple of photos as a mini-'making of', with a short description of the methods involved. Recorded 'live' at home into Reaper, and mixed with same. Fx..? Just a few, with the exception of the kitchen sink..! Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy. I took this opportunity to test, in brutal fashion, an amp I'd bought a few months ago now in the UK. It's a valve stereo power amp (a Kittyhawk; thanks again, HJ...), 2 x 60w, and turned up pretty loud. Plugged into my Bassman cab, a 2 x 15 upgraded with Beyma 300w speakers, modified to be switchable as two separate HP's in the same cab. Being a power amp, a pre is needed; I used our Boss GT-6B, as it has stereo O/P's. I'm (ab...)using a friend's Stagg bass, and it's recorded through an E609 mic. Here's the pictures ...
