  1. Brilliant gig, delayed by the footie going into extra time, however we managed to turn a pub full of footie fans into a pub full of funkateers in about 3 minutes of the first track. Had a ball playing our stuff, have been asked back on a regular basis, got asked to do a gig at a different pub up in the smoke, and got a possible festival slot out of the night! All in all a definite win!
  2. So this is tomorrow evening if anyone wants to come and join the fun!
  3. Bumparoony because its now only a week away!
  4. Just buy a new 16gb card and bin the knackered one....
  5. Vote added, top track, love Mr Venom and his band of merry reprobates, I liked a lot of the more old school garagey psychobilly mixes, but in the end I was seduced by the sheer power of mix 6, excellent effort!
  6. Chaps, Mister Super Juice are playing at The World's End in Brighton on Saturday 24th May. Entry is free and we should be cranking up the funkiness from about 9:45pm Would love to see some BC'ers there!
  7. Yeah defo an interface with some form of direct monitoring. Again RME provide about the most powerful version avaialable out there in their TotalMix product which come swith their interfaces. At 192KHz my UCX manages a latency of sub 3ms without glitches, but because I am happy to monitor using Total Mix and work that way I can get perfect results with 16 tracks of audio input (Audient ASP008 plus a coupl eof other mic pres and some line level inputs) at 48KHz (which is absolutely fine to my ear) setting the latency higher to be safe and have no latency at all recording to my Sony Vaio lappie. I can't recommend RME enough
  8. The Sister's version has always been my favourite
  9. Karaoke-itis.....
  10. Massive +1 JTUK....
  11. Get her to watch a bunch of K.D.Lang live performances, that woman has brilliant mic technique....
  12. [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1396179098' post='2410627'] No, compression brings up the feedback and makes things worse. If you think about it guitarists use feedback to improve their sustain. [/quote] That is true But a bit of subtle compression may still help
  13. Record the gig Video too if poss Bad Mic technique means no amount of PA shenanigans can sort it. If she won't fix her Mic technique then she will never project.........
  14. It's also why a real mix takes a good 15 hours graft
  15. The answer is a bit of compression and a lot of automation
  16. I did! Totally awesome! Edit: Let me qualify that a bit, it was awesome to see a personal hero lay down some great grooves, that was awesome, and his guitarist was equally superb, funky as hell. The drummer appeared to have mistaken his role as one of building a shed at the end of every 4 bars rather than simply holding down a funky groove with some subtle, inventive and most importantly funky, embellishments. Totally overblown drumming that rather spoiled things. On top of which the engineer had gone for 'classic heavy rock mix #1' whereby the drums are mind numbingly loud, compressed to get maximum attack off every stroke and thoroughly crush the rest of the band, whilst GP's bass was rather undefined mud for the most part. Great keys player too, epic gurning whilst noodling on the occasions he was allowed to as well. Most entertaining. The set got a little lacjklustre in the later quarter, but the middle and ensd were worth the price of admission alone for me....
  17. Dat so purdy boy.....
  18. Mister Super Juice on Friday at the World's End Brighton. What a brilliant evening! Band soundcheck in less than five minutes, everything just sounded perfect. We played an hour and twenty minutes of instrumental original funk, some of which gets a tad jazz funk in places. The people who came to see us were really enjoying it, but even more importantly the entire pub crowded over to check us out, and get down with their bad selves Tons of complements from strangers, the manager loved it, thought we were ace and wants us back asap... And people who'd seen us before said we had really improved over last time and the four new tracks were great. Chuffed to bits! Highlight of the night? Getting an entire pub chanting "Tuba, tuba, tuba" before we played the encore tuba driven final track, I doubt that's ever happened in there before!!

  20. A 600mm x 600mm hop up for my rig to go on...
  21. Tonight then chaps! Anyone fancy getting their ears filled with some funky noise, come down to The World's End in Brighton around 10:00 tonight
  22. Define 'good'... I dunno, I've always been underwhelemd by all valve kit, horses for courses I suppose, or maybe the stuff I've tried wasnt really very good?
  23. Bump this up! This is happening this Friday for anyone interested. Hope to see some Basschatters there!
