thanks Charic! We did our first gig in over 18 months on Saturday, it was amazing. We've only ever played locally but hopefully will be travelling a bit this year, I'll keep you informed.

you could have a pre-amp or EQ pedal or the like after your distortion pedal, therefore avoiding any impedence issues. I always send my pedal board straight to the desk for the soundman to EQ, and then have a graphic EQ on my amp to set the on-stage sound.

hah, cool, ok I'll do stems later. One mono track, the same length for each instrument, obviously several for guitars That song in particular was done with two different drum takes, two different snares, should I put both snares on one track?

hah, that's how I like it! But yeh it might be a bit much for some

ok, all agreed... any song off the 2nd album, you can listen here: [url="http://theallimportantliedetectortest.com"]http://theallimportantliedetectortest.com[/url] I guess track 1 or 2 would be the simplest. "Bulletproof" was recorded all together so plenty of bleed on the drum mics. Just one extra layer of guitar, could provide more of a challenge. Just let me know if you want to use any of them and I'll get stems done

sounds to me like you could do with a graphic EQ or an active EQ on your bass... You're looking to reduce high mids and increase low mids. You should be able to get a nice punchy sound without making the whole stage boomy. The problem might be taste though... mostly overdriven and plenty of clank is my kind of tone!

ok, nice one. I think i'll do the £20 anyway

At the moment I play drums in one hip-hop/raggae band, one folk band, and one rock band. I also play bass in an instrumental (not sure on genre but going for...) post-rock band I'm also in the middle of developing my solo stuff which is just weird rock where I play drums, bass, guitar and sing I used to play bass in a rock band and drums in a punk band I think that's varied enough, although I wouldn't mind trying my hand at piano in a jazz trio

I've never sold anything but have donated several times However, I do have an interface up for sale at the moment for £100. Will this listing be taken down at some point... how does it work for existing listings?

[url="https://soundcloud.com/cheddatom/uniform"]https://soundcloud.com/cheddatom/uniform[/url] this could be an interesting one, the drums are tracked using one stereo mic, nothing else. The guitar and bass are DI'd. I can do stems no problem It's not great if you want to practise your drum sounds, but I certainly found it a good challenge to get a good sound out of the one stereo mic. I've not been joining in with the competition as I've been stuck mixing new Dirty Money tracks, which they wouldn't want me to put out for public consumption.

you could use dirt instead of compression. When I'm doing synthy sounds I tend to use an envelope follower, and a wah as well (plus octave and the rest). If there's no dirt or compression after these effects, I just hear the peak of the squelch (does that make any sense?) rather than the full fatness. Dirt, or compression, calms down that peak and means I can hear the low mids again, which are obviously essential.

I only come on BC at work, never have the time at home, and I can't listen to music at work... ... but yeh I do feel very guilty, considering some BCers have been very nice about my bands' music

I record a lot of distorted bass and get great results just using DI(s) and EQ. In my experience micing bass is more trouble than it's worth.

I would agree on the Rat - either get a Rat and clean blend it, or get one of the posh rat clones with a built in clean blend.

IMO you need distortion or compression to make a synthy/filter pedal work well

well if you use a mixer to mix two chains back together I think that would be buffered? Maybe not. I used to use one of those mini line mixers for this purpose - 3 jack sockets, 3 knobs, and one jack lead coming out of it. I think I got it for £10 from Ebay EDIT: That was a totally passive line mixer so wouldn't have had a buffer

I have a pair of the bullets and know another guy who has them after I recommended them. I've mixed some of his sessions as well as using my own. Mainly as drum overheads but also on acoustic guitars and some percussion. Honestly, they're ace.

Another favorite of mine is the Red Llama - I only have a clone but I hope it's similar to the proper one else my recommendation is useless

recording at SSR in Manchester

... in case anyone is interested in hearing the guitar one on bass I have a weird thing on my soundcloud here: [url="https://soundcloud.com/cheddatom/xxl-bass"]https://soundcloud.com/cheddatom/xxl-bass[/url]
