Difficult call, really, without knowing your interests. Maybe dip in for a page or two of each subject that takes your fancy, and hope to be agreeably surprised..? There are few duff ones, anyway, so you'll not be risking much. There are those contributors whose style may seem abrasive on occasion, but much is banter and good humour, so stay any ill judgement until you get to know folks a bit better. Other than that, just jump right in; the water's lovely..!

I can't read play instruments 'cos my eyes are too old now.

There's none as deaf as those who won't hear.

Good evening, Brian, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. And now the MD says, each week, 'We'll have a sax player next week', but there never is.

Here you go ... John's agent ...

Allow me to politely disagree. Much of the attraction is in the event itself, not the display of wares (although it may not harm to have professional graphics...). 'Home-made' does not have to be totally bad, nor totally polished, I'd say. Certainly, some may be put off by really bad 'artwork', but if the only option is ordering five hundred (and having four fifty unsold...), it's worth a punt. It's worked for bands here in France; I know of several that 'brew' their own, and have done myself, on a very modest scale. And 'No, I don't think you'd like my 'artwork', either..!'

Wait till you see the bit crusher..!

No, this one's for metal ...

Good afternoon, Kelly, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. You do realise that this is a bass forum..? Just sayin'; I'm not a bassist either; I'm a drummer, so...

There's this one, too... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/319562-compressors-do-i-need-one/

I've never been bothered by other folk's earnings.

An anecdote..? I was about eight or nine; some school chums came to our house to invite me out to play. My Mum answered the door; I was just behind her. 'Can Doug come out to play, please..?' piped up one of the bunch. 'His name is Douglas.' said my Mum, in a suitably cold voice, and shut the door firmly. Little wonder that I was seldom visited after that..! Just sayin'; I've been called much worse since..!

Correction: Vacuum sucks. Gravity's heavy.

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

Can you not do this yourself..? Duplicate a dozen CDs, get a dozen crystal cases, print out a dozen labels and CD inserts and you're done..? When stocks go low, print out another batch. Of course, if sales take off massively, there's still time to get a more 'pro' approach, but until then... No good..?

Can you imagine someone flying to Scotland for eighteen holes of golf, then flying back to Milwaukee, for their sole pleasure (and because they have the wherewithall, of course...)..? I don't see any difference (except for the wherewithall, of course..!).

S'odd; I found quite the opposite.

On the other hand, they were excellent and rapid in supplying me with an HA3500 toric mains transformer, a couple of years out of guarantee, to France. I've still got the amp, but haven't used it for quite a while. Thumbs up for Korg UK from me.

I've done it before and, health permitting, would do it again. Why the question..? Is it so hard to 'get'..? Some folks travel half-way round the world to play a round of golf.

Some of us don't need, nor want the money; it's as simple as that. Confession..? Confess to what..?

Good Stuff; thanks for sharing. Nice to see folks playing well, sounding good, looking as if they're enjoying themselves. PA..? Yep; did the job very well indeed in context. Yes, a tad more lead vocal wouldn't have gone amiss, it's true, but a convincing demonstration of how a modern band could sound. Thanks for sharing; I enjoyed listening to that.

You wouldn't happen to have any examples of such, by any chance..?

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

I think that a lot of the confusion comes from the semantics. While it's possible to use a compressor as an 'effect' (and it can be very beneficial in that role, or not...), that's not the same as using a compressor as 'treatment', where (if correctly applied...) it is always beneficial. If they were different units (FX compressor as a stomp-box, treatment compressors as rack units...), they'd be a bit more clarity. Until then, there'll be lots of folks arguing for one use, but ignoring the other. FX..? Debatable; the jury's out, discussing personal tastes and musical styles. Treatment..? Done and dusted decades ago, nothing to see here.
