Yes indeed; I hate it when that happens.

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

Oi..! Watch it son; I 'eard that..! ... (but only just... Drowned out by the resounding clang of a dropped apostrophe. ) ...

Can I add myself to this list of folks not wanting a 'Refresh' every time we go back to previous page..? If some folks prefer it this way, could it be made an option, at least..? Thanks in advance.

I'd like to humbly suggest that, in the case cited, the metronome is perhaps too fast. As an experiment, and using a piece which shows up this phenomenon, try slowing down to half-speed. Is that any better..? If so, increase the speed slightly and progressively, until the counting becomes more difficult, then reduce back a notch or so. Hope this helps.

I bought a book from Joe, who sent it to France packed as if it was the Crown Jewels..! Well done; it took me quite a while, and a good pair of scissors, to get to read it..! Excellent communication, very fast response and a transaction experience inspiring total confidence. I hereby declare Joe to be, in my books (sic...), a Good Egg. Thanks again.

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

Not an expert, but I'd say that there's a 'cache' issue here. Clear all caches in your system and try again..? The WiFi is bringing up something from its memory, rather than renewing the page. Hope this helps (but it may not...)

A well-viewed example of what can happen if one tries too hard. Warning: Not for family viewing.

[quote name='Barking Spiders' timestamp='1510308640' post='3405434']... does anyone now ever just plug in and sit through a whole album while doing nowt else? [/quote] Most often when listening to Schubert, for instance, but also with many disks which have a particular resonance with me (Nostalgia..? A theme..?) Examples would be 'The Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus' (Spirit...), 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' (Bowie...), 'Surrealistic Pillow' and 'Bless Its Pointed Little Head' (Jefferson Airplane...); very recently I came across 'Bee Gees' 1st' which I'd not listened to for fifty years. Some albums are only complete if listened to in their entirety, and with attention.

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1510315717' post='3405517'] I completely get the building something from scratch idea. I just don't get the kit approach. [/quote] For someone wishing to gain a first-time experience, and willing to accept that the result may need 'tweaking' or later upgrading, all the parts are there, and likely to be compatible, at least. Are there better ways..? Yes, even so far as to make one's own body from scratch, with the shape one wishes. There are some very inexpensive kits out there; not everyone can afford a Warmoth as an experiment. It's all good, really; each will find his/her own level of satisfaction.

The Mesa Walkabout has a balanced DI, post EQ and FX loop. You'd normally use that plugged into the console directly with a balanced Xlr cable, as if it were a mic. There is no provision for pre-eq, however, so FOH will receive your EQ and FX loop sound. The Fly Bass rig also has a DI out, equally post FX. There is no provision for having a Pre DI, so FOH will receive the FX. If your sound fellow wants a 'dry' bass signal, it'll require the bass to be plugged into a DI box before the Fly Bass, with the Fly Bass chained from the DI box. Hope this helps.

We only play songs that we all like (not necessarily in equal measure, but all accepted...). As we've quite an age spread, it's not that easy choosing songs, and, once chosen, some fall by the wayside with passing time. Still, that's our whole purpose in playing together. When we perform 'out', our repertoire is most often very well received; I've memories of a few mis-matches, but even in those cases, I don't really know what we could have played that would have gone down better. Disclaimer: we don't play for a fee, and we're usually invited to play, rather than having hunted down the gig ourselves. In fact, I can't remember any gig that we'd 'tried' to get.

[quote name='Rocker' timestamp='1510242475' post='3404950'] Sadly threads like this one always end up much the same... [/quote] Just to say that I humbly disagree with almost every statement in this post. Non-square wave binary is audible..? Dedicated power socket..? Signal attenuation is 'distortion'..? Nah, I'll have none of it.
