I saw an osteopath about similar problems. They said they couldn't really help me - that I have wirsts too thin for my tendons. They did give me some exercises to do to help strengthen my wrist, which is supposed to help. Hold a heavy tin and rock it back and forth so you keep flexing your wrist. No idea if this is applicable to your problems but it sounds like a similar thing

The address is: [font="arial"][size="2"]HILL TOP BUSINESS CENTRE, [/size][/font] [font="arial"][size="2"]TALKE PITTS, ST7 1PW[/size] [/font] [size="2"][font="arial"]You can find it from that post code on google, there's a map here: [/font][/size]http://rifffactory.co.uk/recordings.html Depending on where you come from, I guess most of you would come down/up the A500, then take the A34 towards Congleton. It's a straight road until you get to a big crossroads with traffic lights. The A34 continues on to Congleton on the right, but you want to go left. It takes you up a hill, and when you're almost at the top of the hill (maybe half a mile from the cross roads) the business centre is on your left. It's a very tight turn to get in. Once you've turned in you go up a ramp, through some big blue gates, drive to the right hand side of the big main building and there's a smaller separate building - that's me. Anyway, I'll try and put some signs up or something to make it obvious.

I'll nick one, she'll never know!

I can record no problem. Filming may be an issue, I got my girlfriend to do videos with her SLR (she's an ace photographer)

all confirmed! This should be ace

Relegated to a tiny room, tiny crap speakers, rubbish screens... But I shouldn't complain as I've recently finished my proper recording studio...

Some nice sounding gear here, can't wait! If you're interested, there's a little video tour of the studio here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8spYxvWHAEo[/media]

1pm is fine. There are 3 or 4 steps leading up to the front door, no ramp sorry! I have a large collection of pedals and a couple of nice 6 string basses. I'll bring a guitar in case.

[quote name='64k' timestamp='1374080977' post='2145110'] Ok, lets settle on the 11th at Cheddatom's studio. Could you confirm Cheddatom, and I'll amend the opening post to this thread Also maybe an Admin could change the name of the thread to say 'Staffordshire Bass Meet Up - 11/08' [/quote] Sunday the 11th, confirmed! I shall provide tea, coffee (instant cheap crap as I don't drink it) and some biscuits. Anything else required? What sort of time are we thinking?

oh balls, sorry, just realised I can't do the 17th Sorry guys, if we want to use my place on a Saturday it's the 31st or August is out. Sundays I could do the 11th. I shan't be offended if you stick with the original Burslem plan, and hopefully I'd be able to free up an hour to come and meet some BCers.

haha, don't worry, I won't record everything and put it up on soundcloud for the whole of BC to laugh at

I had an opening on Friday, there were at least 30 people in there comfortably which I guess is more than would come to this?

I can't do the 10th but could make the 17th I wonder if it might be worth doing it at my recording studio? It's a bit further out than Burslem at ST7 1PW but I have a huge collection of pedals, drum kit, and could always record a jam... Just a suggestion

I can bring a guitar or two, if I'm free for the date

If I'm free I'll come, I have a lot of gigs on Sundays though

doesn't sound right to me at all, you shouldn't need to true-bypass the boss pedals. Have you tried them on batteries? When you wire them back up are you swapping around patch leads? It's worth checking all your patch leads as well as different power options. I like the ODB-3, for massive low end it's perfect.

Cool, I'll do my best to do a quick mix by Sunday and get it to you Monday morning. I'm opening my studio Friday night so hopefully I'll be too busy :-p

Still not loaded the stems for this, I don't think I'll manage sorry, when's the deadline? This is what I've been busy with:

I bought a Behringer compressor from Mark. Like a well made cheese sauce this transaction was extremely smooth and very tasty. Cheers Mark!

Yeh I would have the mid level all the way down. Sweep from the bottom to the middle of the range to find the right cut. It should only take a second or two. Deffinitely have the low cut engaged. I wouldn't bother boosting lows.

ouch, 3 hours of listening to country music and 0 votes Nevermind, I didn't like my mix on re-listening. Well done to the winners! I'll try harder this month.

I would prefer to have a "flat" amp and cab set-up, and then a nice big graphic EQ to get lots of different sounds. If you buy a new amp every time you want a different sound, you have too much money

[quote name='Wil' timestamp='1369233217' post='2086672'] EQ with your ears and not with your eyes. [/quote] Yes, FFS your eyes are for seeing, your ears are for listening! I'm so sick of people trying to judge sound by looking. I did a little test on myself when mixing the other week. I wanted a high pass filter to cut out any unnecessary subs. I put the filter on but I was convinced I could hear it, even though it should be mostly below what I can actually hear. So, I got a friend to turn it off and on while I closed my eyes - I had no idea when it was on or off!

I've had very little time - can't listen at work - so I listened on my mixing set-up (NS10 copies and a sub) and my TV. The three best were obvious on both systems, but I'm not sure E was one of them. I just kept listening to a bit of the intro, then skipping to a loud chorus. [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1369075590' post='2084614'] I don't understand how saying his mix is "too good" amongst a bunch of rookies is harsh? I didn't want to vote for the pro, because I thought the hobbyist might appreciate the vote more. [/quote] I just thought we should be voting for the best mix, and it should be anonymous... I guess the voting is as subjective as the mixing!
