Quite right too, and probably very restful for the audience. Piling on layer after layer of virtuoso solos can be very wearing on the ear, so that would be a welcome respite. T'wouldn't work for some numbers, though, where one is supposed to be 'trading eights' for four minutes..! My 'drum solos' are equally sparse, applying the principle that 'less is more'.

S'easy..! You capo, too..!

I'm trying to sort something out, simply for participation's sake, by recording a song I played (drums...) on, nearly fifty years ago now, when rehearsing stuff with Alan Stirling's band in my front room at Shepperton. It's from memory (as was last year's effort, in similar circumstances...), and will certainly be unknown to anyone. I count it as a cover, as I didn't compose the original. We'll see how I get on with it; be prepared for disappointment, though.

You mean it's a godsend..? That would, indeed, be a provenance worth paying for..! ...

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

I'll not be buying the albums. ("...Couldn't figure out how to embed a video" Copy the YouTube 'Share' link, and simply paste it into the post, s'all. Hope this helps...)

The Tascam unit is fine, and will do the job (and more...) with no fuss. I use a similar, but older unit as interface (US-144 Mk II...) bought s/h here, and am very content with it. For headphone practise, it's hard to beat the Voxplug amps, which have an Aux in for playing along. You won't get more compact than that..!

The use of passive radiator speakers is (or was, back then...) quite common in high-end hifi systems, and the isobaric cabs (Orange, I believe, and a few others...) use 'em, too. Normally, a speaker's cone is braked by the connection to the amp, but when unplugged (or, it would appear in this case, disconnected...), that brake is no longer, and the cone becomes free to resonate with any passing frequencies. I'd suggest that this could explain the cone movement, and the sound emanating from the unit. The speaker has become a passive radiator, resonating at a specific frequency (or its harmonic...) that happens to be audible. ... Or ghosts, of course.

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

Your Zoom B3 can act as an audio interface via its USB connection. The M-Audio would be more flexible, with its mic entry, and better pre-amps, so I'd not get rid of it (unless really stretched for cash...). Plug both in and compare the results/ease of use, maybe..? For DAW, I use Reaper, as do many here, which is free to try, unlimited, and costs only $60 if (when...) one decides to keep it. Hope this helps.

It has an internal battery (Lipo...); is that charged..? There's not much can go wrong, otherwise. If you've a 'savvy' chum, maybe let 'em try it with their gear, to see if it's the unit or your use of it that's wrong somewhere..?

Is this the thing..?

Confused..? Me..? Yup, confused, and saddened. One day I will understand; one day.

@lurksalot @Skol303 S'gonna pose a greater challenge for me; I don't know any stuff to cover..!

Our very own Brook_Fan ... ... and also ...

Thomann stock a wide range of Superlux headsets, all very keenly priced. I've been satisfied with mine (HD669...) for several years, now. Thomann, Superlux headsets ...

And the winner is... SH73..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2018_11.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...

I've posted this before; this is Jack Casady working his magic. One needs to listen right through the whole track, of course. Astonishing stuff...

It's not a hat, after all..? Oh...

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

I, for one, am in complete ignorance. Luckily, I don't bid on brown paper parcels.

Why is this an issue..? Over decades, popular tunes have been re-worked, often as 'lift musack'. It does nothing, as far as I can see, to degrade the originals, and if one doesn't want to buy the stuff... Just refrain, no..? There must be a market somewhere for it, so it pleases someone. What does it take away..? Not my cuppa, certainly (but I'm not an unconditional of BH either...). How many 'jazzed up' versions of 'Yesterday' are there, or 'Eleanor Rigby'..? Is no re-working ever allowed..? What about the synth versions of Bach..? No good either..? More is more, isn't it, and adds to the world's music, whilst removing nothing. What's the beef..?
