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.

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'.

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.

Publish or Perish. Unfortunately it seems to be the latter.

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.

I can't imagine that anyone would pickup anything useful from this 'board, it's just another pain in the neck.

Another Paul? superb. Glad to have you on board.

I tried the Behringer clone and there was virtually no difference in sound quality, the case felt really flimsy though.

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.

congratulations, sounds like it went to exactly the right fella!

Lack Part?

Tarp Calk?

[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?

Tip it upside down in a champagne bucket?

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].

I voted Pettiford. So there.

[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.

+1, a really clean DI/EQ box, but the drive channel is definitely overcooked. Judicious use of the blend knob is key when firing it up.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1330499392' post='1558300'] Duff McKagan - immersed in a band with Axl Rose & Slash, it`s so easy (ker-ching) to underestimate his worth to the band, and his bass-playing ability. Great runs, and a good sense of melody. [/quote] True dat. I transcribed some GnR lines for a student once, really surprised to learn just how good Duff's lines really are on "Appetite for Destruction". I shall be giving that one a spin later on today.
