  1. [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1330799408' post='1563238'] Anyone saying Reaper is clunky needs to give it a bit more time IMO. Its lightening fast in the right hands, and seeing as it is about the most configurable DAW out there(there are even downloadable sets of ProTools key mappings and look and feel layouts apparently) pretty much how you need to work can be covered. There are a few areas where its no all the way there I know (midi editing isnt it's strongest point for sure), but a little more time with it will reap huge rewards. [/quote] Thanks for the pointer about PT key mappings, I'm off to get some now...
  2. The Em11 and A+7 are II, V in D, the E sharp (F) in the A augmented would suggest D minor, but the Em11 is D major, so you could add a bit of interest by swinging between those two scales, same with the Dm11 and Gaug7 - either C major or C minor. Ultimately it's down to your ears, but yes, D and C are good places to start with those particular chords. As for the Aaug7 and Bbm7 you could look for common chord tones - A+7 being A, C sharp, F and G Bb-7 being Bb, D flat F and Ab Since Db and C sharp are the same note, and the Fs are the same then you could use those as pivot points in between the chromatic movement. Or you could indeed go for a modal approach. Hope this helps, 'Speak No Evil' isn't a tune that I'm overly familiar with, so this is all just theoretical. Let me know how you get on...
  3. I've got 20 years of Cubase under my belt, then moved to protools about 3 years ago. Reaper is a little bit clunky at the moment, probably because I'm a 'keyboard shortcuts' sort of guy, and I'm just not familiar with Reaper ones yet.

  5. Another bump for Reaper. I'm having a few issues regarding installing PT on my new mac, so I'm back on Reaper for now. I can usde my Pro Tools Hardware, so the AD conversion is still great, and does everything I need it to. I don't have anything on my phone, as it's old and wretched. For everything else I use 'Basschat'.
  6. Reaper comes with a fair number of plugins (compressors, reverbs etc...), but it will automatically link to any plugin form any other DAW installed on your system - mine picked up ALL of my VSTs (Cubase format), AU (Garageband) and RTAS (Protools) and lets me use them all. Shame I'm going back to hardware really.
  7. Publish or Perish. Unfortunately it seems to be the latter.
  8. If you've got a Russian (or NYC Muff for that matter) it's relatively easy to add a blend pot. It's not true bypass, as you need a buffer to do this without horrific squealing noises, but it does make this particular box useful for more modern dirty sounds.
  9. I can't imagine that anyone would pickup anything useful from this 'board, it's just another pain in the neck.
  10. Another Paul? superb. Glad to have you on board.
  11. I tried the Behringer clone and there was virtually no difference in sound quality, the case felt really flimsy though.
  12. I found a link to a great 'Pic at the wrong gig' the other day, but I've lost the URL. Now I'm sad.
  13. congratulations, sounds like it went to exactly the right fella!
  14. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1330637412' post='1560945'] Not the last time I looked ! [/quote] I'll take your word for it.
  15. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1330632299' post='1560826'] I knew the answer to this question without thinking about it. It was this one: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E0m0Gcblp0[/media] [/quote] Mine was 'Closer to the heart' from the same album. You sir, have impeccable taste in music. Back on topic how about 'Under pressure' you could just loop the first two notes - after all, what could go wrong when you make a loop from a Queen track?

  17. I've chopped and changed loads since coming on BC, but I've not even thought about getting rid of my Blade. Since that's the bit I feel when I play it's my most important piece of kit. Dirtboxes, wobblyboxes, filters and loud (really loud) amps are nice, but I don't really have the same connection with them as my bass. Bottle's sig says it all - " This is [i]my[/i] bass, there are many like it, but this one is [i]mine[/i].
  18. [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1330602736' post='1560056'] I went for Percy Heath. I've no idea who any of them are but he sounds like the sort of chap who likes a pint of mild and doing crosswords. [/quote] Percy Heath is an infamous location for dogging and such, isn't it? getting coat and legal brief.
  19. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1330560637' post='1559611'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8G8Q5c9KQw[/media] [/quote] Those crazy guitarists! He just needed to buy a Corsa.
