Yeah I did. Tried every conceivable configuration!

Yes. It all worked fine as soon as I tried it at home after the gig. I just want to have a fail safe - I can take the laptop it's fine, but I wanted to see if the tablet could be connected. Purely for convenience.

Thank you to everyone who has chipped in to help on this thread.

This is Love For Tender. it comes from the album Get Happy. The Attractions were going for a more soulful, 60s pop sound. The production of this album has been criticised - indeed Bruce and Pete were both reportedly unhappy with the recorded sound of their instruments. Fortunately nowadays we can remix any song ourselves and get virtually any sound we want to. As ever any comment or advice is welcome. Love For Tender.pdf

I have had a go. I discovered not 'USB HOST' but 'OTG' it worked in terms of checking connections and cable - I connected to the internet via the router at home - but did not work vis a vis the router attached to the desk, nor directly into the desk. I have mobilised an IT contact. I'm beyond my abilities.

Thank you

Ah yes. I had a nightmare gig where I could not connect via my external router nor the internal access point. Not to any of my devices nor those of the band members. So as a fail safe, and hoping to avoid taking my laptop out, I thought of this option.

Yes it all works with the laptop. I'll investigate whether the tablets, and phone I tried are suitable. Thanks for the reply.

I want to be able to hardwire an android tablet to my X18 desk via the ethernet port. This works fine with a laptop. I did some research and purchased this which I assumed would do the trick. It didn't. In fact it appeared to do nothing at all. Does anyone have any advice?

Not really last night as I'm still here. 40th birthday party booked before the band disintegrated, so we had to honour the commitment. Digital desk flat out refused to play ball. Could not connect to it. So the hour I was going to spend blowing cobwebs off the songs I've not played for 6 months I spent messing with that. In the end we ripped out the little 3 input mixer from behind the bar and ran with it. The show must and therefore did go on.

Thank you!

This would be a lot of fun to play live

Continuing with his Bruceness. Pump It Up was an example of when Elvis and Bruce were at the top of their game. EC wrote the words while holding Subterranean Homesick Blues in his mind. He played the song to the band in a soundcheck with a very sparse two chord arrangement. Bruce said it need propulsion - this he provided in spades! years later he says he stole the bass lines from The Damned (Neat Neat Neat), The Everly Brothers (The Price Of Love), You've Got To Lose (Richard Hell and the Voidoids), You Really Got Me (The Kinks), and last but not least In The Mood (Glen Miller). Somehow he distilled that lot down into one of the most recognisable, powerful basslines of the era. Before he and Elvis fell out they were such a dynamic, creative force. Neither has, in my opinion, achieved the same heights without the other. So here it is, Pump It Up, my best attempt. I'm still new to this game so any constructive advice is always welcome.
