[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1354141790' post='1882776'] Use someone who can sing? That's what I was planning to do. The rules don't say that you have to play all the parts yourself do they? [/quote] No rules against that at all

Normally I would agree however were a three piece metal band so I feel I have to try. It alao looks like a lot of fun. Particularly inspired by parkway drives stage act

Close arsenic, I like to think its about development. Of your creative skills, your ability to interpret an abstract subject, work to a timeframe, take and give criticism and a wholebload more. Basically developing as a composer. For example it seems entries with vocals are doing doing particularly well. Now how are people who cant sing going to get by this? I dont know about you but Im eager to find out

My bands first headline gig this Friday and the nerves are finally starting to bite. The band we have in support are frankly... brilliant! So we have to put on a good show. Any tips on getting moving on stage? I play in a death metal band and dont naturally headbang, I would rather jump around a bit but unlikely to loosen up enough for that. On the plus side Ive been with the band practices around 12 hours a day since Saturday so were very well rehearsed.

They actually stock a couple of interesting items and their prices seem roughly on par with digital village. Impressive

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1354124873' post='1882437'] [i]"No Charic... NOT THE RED BUTTON!!!"[/i] Never mind mate, what's done is done. Very courageous of you to 'fess up as to what might have caused it. [/quote] Not quite, flame jackets on

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1354118611' post='1882295'] I'm not entirely convinced that the site problems last night were responsible for the poll going AWOL given the timing of the two events and also the timing of a couple of other events that I was looking at. Plus only this poll seems to have been affected. I can't find evidence of any other polls being wiped out or of any other data loss being reported on the site... [/quote] I have a suspicion as to what could have happened, basically the site went down just as I updated one of the links. I couldn't come back to check it, it could have had some kind of bizarre error. It could also have been because I updated the link from my phone. So umm.. yeah... I won't do that again. Been thinking about all the possibilities and those two seem the most likely.

[quote name='Elvis Valentine' timestamp='1354107701' post='1882111'] Right ok. But for example myself who only just voted this morning, i couldn't vote again? Not that 'im planning to:-) that to me seems unfair and kind of pointless lol. I feel bad for you Charic, tough decisions. [/quote] Nope, everyone gets one vote The old ones all got erased by voldemort and hitler

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1354107457' post='1882104'] Dummy out of pram Not fair as its different for some already, either revert to origainal votes which is absolutely fair, what is the problem with that? Or let 13 guitars choose which would be fair enough but needs to be done soon either way otherwise if done later it wont look good to anyone. Just being honest, does anyone else have a problem with votes being put back to original votes? [/quote] If I put it back and then people re-vote then it can truly screw it up. As for letting 13 decide I think that would be completely unfair as it is a complete change of rules. I'm sorry your not happy with the decision but that's how it's going to run.

[quote name='Elvis Valentine' timestamp='1354107442' post='1882102'] Presumably members cant vote twice? I do think its really unfortunate if say. Skol and Stephen (whom i gather were the leaders) were to not regain there votes though. Its a tricky one. [/quote] The people who voted previously can do again as it's a fresh poll. If I was to manually put in the previous numbers then they could do again.

I'm sorry this is happened, it's pretty crappy timing but we have to deal with it best we can

I'd say start again guys, I've put the post up on FB again and hopefully most voters will come back and vote again. If we see it's going majorly different then perhaps an alternative solution can be looked into then but I think we need to see what happens first.

I've put a comment up on the FB page too guys

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1354099765' post='1881973'] I'd go with this, too. They [i]are [/i]donating the prize, after all. Any other ideas? [/quote] I would be fairly strongly against it, it could cause a bias toward a particular style etc... keep the rules as they were and it's the closest to fair it can be

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1354096174' post='1881909'] You know what, I bet everyone knows exactly how many votes they had before the poll disappeared! I'm sure entrants would be happy to PM you with the information. What a great opportunity for everyone to show how upstanding and honest they are! This could be BassChat's finest moment! [/quote] I can alter numbers like that but... then if people come back they can vote again which would give open another weakness in the system. If you guys are all happy with that I don't have a problem with it but I'll make it your call. Democracy! Wooo!

Unfortunately guys it looks like all the votes have been lost in the downtime yesterday... fek baws follicles! Really sorry guys, start over? Umm... I don't know if I'll be able to see who is voting for who as a mod, not explored that option yet. There is an option to make votes public but that seems a little mean spirited to me?

*... changes all voting options to charic quietly and hopes no one notices *

Unfortunately the reality is Microsoft have screwed everyone over with ie10 making it incompatible with certain formats of site, to the extent that certain sites actually block ie or charge extra if youre buying something there and using ie. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future updates but theyve truly screwed a lot of sites doing this

Seems to be a blip... nige youve done nothing wrong. Ill look into it in the morning

Done aswell as correcting elvis's link to his other mix

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1353814469' post='1878717'] X FACTOR Time! [/quote] If youre comparing me to cowell you can f**k right off

As I was transferring all the tracks I had a quick listen to each with my singer who agreed that there wasn't a single one he wouldn't happily own. Great work guys, thanks to everyone participating and everyone just joining in on the conversation and comments. Lets not forget to thank 13 guitar Co.for such an amazing prize. I think it really helped push the efforts forward a touch too. As has already been said, whoever wins this really will deserve it great entries all round and a special thanks for not getting negatively competitive which was a real dread of mine.

Whats your eq like? If yiuve got lots of extra bass being added that sucks a lot of volume. Also turn the tubetone down a bit, youre losing clarity. I would add a second cab to raise up the 210 and make it easier to hear. The di output is handy too.
