Well I ended up doing a music tech degree at staffs. They have some great equipment and some allright studios, but you basically record 1 band in your 2nd year, and then you can do recording in your 3rd year if it's to do with your final year project. I went to learn about recording and basically just learned how to drug yourself into a whopping overdraft. I've since gained experience recording independently and am making an album with my own gear, but just learning what I now consider the basics of recording and mixing was a tough struggle after 3 whole f*cking years at uni.

Alex - from your post it looks like Orange actually PMd you?

It would never happen in my band. We're three mates who play songs together. It would be possible to train someone up to replace one or another of us, but we'd never do it. We've turned down great gigs because one of us has been away. It just wouldn't be right, and if they did a gig without me i'd be very offended.

Did they ask if it was cool with you to get a dep? If so, you should have been more assertive and said no. If not, then you should be seriously p*ssed off and tell them so.

I didn't realise it could batch process them. I will get Audition!!

You can normalise to RMS (not sure what it stands for but I think it's an average) rather than Peak in most programs.

I would say the next step is to get some decent mics, which means a decent pre-amp or two, and then probably a decent audio interface. This is because working with mics and acoustic recording is far more difficult than recording DIs. I was in the same position as you when I was 16. In retrospect, I should have gone to college and done a Btech in recording.

I just remember that single, it was very funky indeed. I lost it during a lightning storm along with the rest of my mp3 collection

That's very interesting, thanks!! I might have a go at this. IMO Reason is pretty poor for writing midi. You could use anything to create a MIDI file and put it into that program.

What the hell's a vocaloid and how do you use it with reason?

Have you looked for a way to do this? "Perhaps you could somehow get the keyboard to go directly to Reason rather than through GB to reason. The outputs will still be available in Rewire to listen back into GB." I know, for example, you can have MIDI data in the Reason sequencer and still run that in slave mode to cubase.

a switch is just two wires being connected and disconnected, so simulate the function of the switch without using the switch and you should be able to tell if the switch is broken. All you need is a couple of wires connected to the same points as the footswitch, then connect and disconnect them to see if you get the pop.

[quote name='vegas_hooker' post='550396' date='Jul 24 2009, 05:02 PM']Haha, Brilliant![/quote] That's exactly what your mother said! What a coincidence!! (joke, don't be offended!!)

[jealous] Hey guys I just showed up so you can shower me in glory because of my rediculously huge and expensive and sexy looking pedalboards [/jealous] Welcome to the board, your pictures have given me an erection.

I use Cubase and Rewire to use Reason for drums, but I program them. I don't have a MIDI keyboard so never came accross the problem. When I play the notes on the virtual keyboard in cubase I don't think there's any latency with the drum sounds from Reason. Perhaps you could somehow get the keyboard to go directly to Reason rather than through GB to reason. The outputs will still be available in Rewire to listen back into GB.

[quote name='casapete' post='550026' date='Jul 24 2009, 11:52 AM']Great kit for the money. Not sure if they run comfortably into 2 ohms as Peavey claim though -anyone have experience of this?[/quote] Mine has always been fine. I've got a TNT combo that ran at 2 ohms for loads of gigs (until I broke the extension cab!!).

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='549994' date='Jul 24 2009, 11:31 AM']Yep, I think some people put a positive spin on this whole situation too quickly![/quote] You are protected by law. If you fear for your safety contact the police.

[quote name='jimijimmi' post='549932' date='Jul 24 2009, 10:58 AM']this is mine...pretty basic.... but a great board from Scott Dixon cases...! i take a Di from the sansamp btw..so i have the amp and the sansamp goin to the desc for a blend[/quote] It says in your sig you're a blackstar pedals endorsee, but I can't see any on your board? Also, I would get a better PSU, one that can power them all so you only have 1 plug.

[quote name='alexharvay' post='549907' date='Jul 24 2009, 10:47 AM']Am I Naïve in thinking wah is just an eq sweep?[/quote] It's a notch filter isn't it? It's not just a tone pot.

Nice one! free bass!!

lol, is that A or B? Now, i'm only posting because no-one else is trying to help, but beware i am NOT an expert. However, this is what i'd do.... I suspect it's A. If so, open it up, get a couple of wires and put them on either side of the switch. You can put these wires together to simulate switching the pedal on with the footswitch. If you don't get the pop, replace the switch. If you do get the pop, your pedal is f*cked. If it's B, your pedal is f*cked. When I say f*cked, I don't mean it can't be repaired, I just mean it will probably have to go to a pro. There are a few guys on this board that repair pedals.

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='549183' date='Jul 23 2009, 05:17 PM']They only sound good with a blender on bass though, they cut all the low end and sound really clanky, except the envelope filter patch, that sounds absolutely awesome[/quote] Right, but why is anyone using a wah on bass without a blender?? Surely the whole idea of a wah is that you loose low end when your foot's all the way down?

Sorry I can't help, it's not my field of expertise, however... I would like to know why you need to do this? Can't you just record the MIDI data into GB or Reason, and then use this to drive the reason instrument from GB? I assume you want to slave Reason to GB as you have other stuff running in GB at the same time - you wouldn't want to do that for a live appliction would you?
