I think it might work in one of the PCIe x16 slots ...but your opinion is to keep the MOTU 24IO rather than buy a modern interface?

Can't wait to watch this. Louis Cole was the last gig I went to before they were all cancelled. It was just him and his looper but it was brilliant. The following night was suppose to be the full band in London but it was cancelled

MOTU PCIX-424 https://motu.com/techsupport/technotes/pci-424-compatibility The MB I'm looking at has: 3 x PCIe 3.0 x1 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4 Bandwidth)

I have a small studio, and I've had the same computer for about 7 years now. I built it myself and it's rock solid. I run Cubase 6 on Windows 7. My interface is a MOTU 24/IO with the relevant PCI card. The system doesn't struggle with anything I've ever done, so I don't need to upgrade, but I'd like to upgrade to Windows 10 and Cubase 10, and I might as well get a new system at the same time. I figure I could build one for around £900 or buy pre-made for about £1700 E.G https://www.scan.co.uk/products/3xs-fa9i-audio-workstation-intel-core-i9-10900k-32gb-ddr4-500gb-ssd-2tb-win-10 My concerns are regarding the interface. I'm not sure that the PCI card will be compatible with a modern motherboard. I'm also not sure if this interface is so out-dated I should abandon it. I don't see any other interfaces with 24 IO, they all require additional ADAT boxes or the like. I've read a few threads on Gear Slutz etc but they're all so specific to their individual needs If you were kitting out a studio for 24 channel in and out on Cubase 10, Windows 10, what would you do?

I've been seeing loads of these on Facebook. They call it a raffle, often say they donate some proceeds to charity, but it all seems entirely unregulated to me. A mate of mine kept bidding on stuff and was trying to persuade me to bid on a huge computer screen. Then his sister started holding these "raffles" for random electrical items. He kept inviting me to bid. I asked if he'd ever "won" anything from any of these raffles. He had, but only the one his sister ran.

we were pretty rusty after so much time off but it didn't take much to get back into the swing of it

I'm actually on drums. That's Nick Bayes on bass,. He plays an American P he bought new a couple of years back through a TC combo. I have a little EQ, compression and saturation going on in the mix

Is that certain?

It's easier if you just call it a whammy bar

yeh but we can wipe them down. It's the baskets/foam on the mic, I doubt there's a practical way to adequately sanitise them

I'm thinking we say "bring your own mic, if you don't have one you can buy one of ours"

We've not actually opened yet as we're not ready. We're meeting tonight to nail down the formal plan. It's not going to be simple!

official advice is that rehearsals are now OK. I'm involved with a rehearsal studio. We double checked with Trading Standards who were telling us to stay closed, and they confirmed on Friday that we're now OK to open

Ah, sorry, I forgot I posted it here, should have deleted that. We've taken the video down for now. I think the idea is to make it more like a gig as we're going to keep doing these. I cut out the cover we did which will stay up

I play drums in this band and we did a "virtual gig" in a big room at our frontman's business. I did all the production etc. Video is not my thing but I think it came out OK

same here!

Hi All, I've not been on here that much since "lockdown". With the lack of rehearsals and gigging I've had some actual free time (as opposed to basschat free time) to finally make my own album. I played everything except the drums on track 9, which are taken from a live jam with my mate Sam Ogden. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://open.spotify.com/album/0IHpEhu6tv2N2gYPUBj73V https://weisenheimer.bandcamp.com/releases

The first ever paying customer to my recording studio, an old dude from Stoke, told me that he wrote Purple Rain and he had proof, but didn't want to sue Prince because he seems nice

So cool

I had this recently at a really nice pub with great (but expensive) beer. The last two times we were there we got free beer all night. Last time they just charged me. I'm far too british to ask why so I just paid up

Salty Dog in Northwich last night. I love this venue. We had a bit of a dodgy sound check. I'm on drums and they just mic up the bass drum here. He was just getting loads of boomy feedback. I tried to say in the nicest possible way that it was feeding back, probably due to too much gain, or far too much low end on the system/EQ, but the sound guy looked a bit stressed and I always feel so nervous about treading on toes with sound guys. Anyway, for our 1hr 40m set the only way to make my bass drum heard was to stamp the pedal like it had murdered my cats. My calf is seriously sore this morning. I took a look at the desk after and sure enough the low EQ knob was turned all the way up on channel one, with the fader right down as obviously he couldn't use it due to the feedback caused by the EQ. Very weird I wish there was a handbook on how to tell the sound guy what to do without pissing him off It was a great gig anyway, lots of laughter and loads of tunes we don't usually play, ace night

Katie Fitzgerald's in Stourbridge on Saturday night. The stage is cramped but I don't care because the drums and bass sound so f*cking brilliant in that room. It could be something to do with the hollow wooden stage and curved stone ceiling? I've forgotten most of what I learned about acoustics at uni. Anyway, we played 24 songs and I was totally knackered afterwards - ace gig!

In-Cider Festival yesterday at Pontins near Weston Super Mare. It was the first gig this year and it was ace. I forgot how great it felt. Can't wait to keep going now!

Looking forward to it!

very nice! Terrible production compared to Billie Eilish though
