Already posted this in repairs and technical, not sure which was the correct place. I want to connect an FMR Really Nice Compressor 1773 to a Focusrite 18i20 for use with my DAW. Read the manual but I am sill not clear on which cables I need, if possible I want to use the FMR on individual tracks and in stereo on the final mix down. If possible could someone put a link to the cables I need to buy for the stereo mix down. Cheers for any advice

Hi all, Can anyone help me out with some advice on connecting the FMR 1773 to a Focusrite 18i20. I want to use it in two ways if possible individually on vocal, bass and drum tracks. Also in stereo on the final mix, I have read the manual, but am still not sure what cables to use? I know doh! Any advice really appreciated also a link to the correct cables would be fantastic. Cheers in advance

Wanted to enter this one as its the New Year, Happy New Year everyone , cant get any lyrics for this so I am doing a hip hop dancey, guitar loaded rabbit thing. Put something down earlier and although its a bit weird and out of my box (which YOU may need to be to appreciate it), I am going with it, where it will end who knows? I have no idea

I have a Blackstar HT-5 head (valve), this is an amazing amp and has great tones I would highly recommend it, you can pick them up second hand for about £150 - 160 ish, I got one for £100 as it had no Blackstar badge. Rang the amazingly helpful people at Blackstar and for something like £2.95 they sent me a new one. it comes with two channels clean and overdriven both sound great, and it has an emulated output button which gives you a 4/12 or 1/12 output cab sound. Good EQ with an IMF dial which gives you a classic American or British sound or anywhere in between. Also has an effects loop.

Bought a Blackstar HT-5 head for my home studio for a great price because the logo was missing, thought Blackstar wouldn't supply a new one but contacted them any way. The guys on the phone were really great and went out of their way to be helpful, thought I would get stung for the logo price wise, couldn't believe it when it was £1.59 plus postage. Well impressed with the company parts department, nice one Blackstar.

Love it, sounds great

Yeah great playing and like both tones, if this is just a live jam its really well done, very creative

Going through a period of writing stuff I wouldn't normally do as its not my thing which is weird, but when it comes it comes. This popped out one night while I was trying to write something completely different [url="https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/prison-of-freedom-master"]https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/prison-of-freedom-master[/url] Any comments appreciated. about the song or the recording/mix, after all that's how you learn and that's what I am trying to do, if you like it please leave a comment on soundcloud, hit the like button or both If you don't constructive feedback welcome on here

Really nicely played, great track choice

Really really like this one Xilddx, love Transglobal Underground an love this mix of styles, my kind of music. Keep us informed about the tour I will deffo come and see the band if possible. Great job well done

Thanks

I use KRK Rokit 6 G3'S and to be honest they were the best investment I made in my whole setup, if you are in a normal size room you would only need the Rokit 5's as the are well loud enough. Since using these my mixes are much better but as someone said earlier monitors all have there own characteristics and you need to get used to them.

Yeah Bernie was with Annie for quite a while I think, and he hasn't really changed in all the time I have known him Lowdown. Wish I knew his secret

Really nice track oozes emotional content, love it, amazing that you have created this with just a bass and an effects pedal, very impressed

Cheers for the feedback much appreciated, Lou Reed I wish My niece loves it so that was all I wanted to achieve really, bit soppy but from the heart.

Nice production and some really funky stuff on there, well done nice work

Very nice refurbish job Skol I'm impressed, I have just got into guitar and have an Epiphone LP its great for the purpose, bought a Blackstar HT-5 watt amp for recording a couple of days ago, awesome amp for home studio use with really nice tones with an effects loop. Check out this site [url="http://justinguitar.com/"]http://justinguitar.com/[/url] (weird can paste the link here but cant in share music thread) Great free lessons on all things six string related.

My niece has just had a baby girl and I wrote this for her [url="https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/olivia"]https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/Olivia[/url] its a welcome to this world kinda song Instruments and vocal by me, the missus did some backing in the chorus and Olivia made her debut at the start, recorded using Sonar x2 Pro, give us some feedback, don't be too hard

This is a friend of mine Bernie Smith he's just done some gigs with Chic, Bernie's on the left he plays keys. He gets about a bit!

I cant access anything on soundcloud either, even my own account, its got to be a problem at there end.

Voted, great work once again by all those taking part, one stood out for me and the production was excellent. Well done everyone :-) I just couldn't come up with anything for the image this month. Will have a pop on the next one hopefully

Voted Dad di it for me as his was spot on for the pic, Leonard Smalls came a very close second. great effort everyone I need to get off my ass and put something down even if its speed composition like Skol's entry (hats of to you for that one in the time you had). Will put something in next month

Here is a friend of ours called Bernie Smith he is a top session keys player and has played with most of the top performers, here he is with Gazza Barlow and the other photo is when he worked with Annie Lennox for a long period. My claim to fame is I'm a second cousin of John Lydon AKA Rotten out of the pistols. You couldn't meet a nicer guy!

Hi my names Stephen and after quite a few years of heavy bass use I have now controlled the habit and own only two and one of those is a Uke bass which I tell myself doesn't count. I have however started getting a habit in studio gear which has developed into a worse problem than I had in the first place, I am now on a couple of guitars, various rack effects, monitors, microphones, amps, cabs. keyboards and I spend most my days dreaming of which bit of gear I need next. The wife doesn't appreciate this habit and I spend most of my time in a room until the early hours playing with it all. I spend hours scouring the internet looking for things I 'NEED' I need help, I am a gearaholic
