That could be GB. I like using GB for it's simplicity & quickness, but you'll get a much better recording using something like Reaper, which you can download & use unrestricted without having to pay for it & if you use it a lot then it's something like $99. I don't do much home recording (due to lack of time from being on BC ), but if I did, I'd happily pay for Reaper.

That's a pretty little tune you've done. I like it You can hear a little phasing on 1 note when the solo part plays the same note as the main loop does. It's not really an issue at all, but maybe a little chorus or another modulation effect on your solo line would make it stand out a little more.

Glad to have helped. Now you need to post your recordings when they're done

Great blog Dan. I've been dipping my toes into channel splitting using the bass murf's stereo outs & putting it on static. The good thing about this is that it sends different frequencies to each channel, so less chance of phase issues. I need some more fx (such as an octaver) to actually make good use of what I have, but it's fun. Come to think of it, the mixer that I'm using to blend the sound back together has an fx section. I'll try assigning something to a channel. Most recent try saw my signal path go: Murf right channel > boss CE-2 > cheapo distortion > LPF > mixer Murf left channel > mixer The murf was set so nearly nothing below 160 hz was going to the right & nothing above it goes to left. It's not just keys that step on your toes, guitarists can be equally as guilty (in my instance, one has an octaver on octave down! & the other uses a Godin with a synth set up so 1/2 the time I could play up the dusty end).

Strip it. You wont regret it. If you don't like the wood you can always prime it & spray it or do what I was planing & metal leaf it (I was gonna have part wood & part silver leaf).

It sounds like an issue with your interface. Your interface might think it's only getting one channel (either Left or Right) & sending just that side. Can you switch it to mono? If not, then on your track you're recording to then select Input Source & chose something mono. I record my bass in mono.

It's a switch. Does look like a pot shaft in the pic tho. I'm toying with putting different knobs on it as the standard ibby knobs are hard to see where they're set to (I might even get a toggle that looks like a toggle too ).

Quality stuff. If you get a vocalist, please don't go for one that sings like a thrasher but rather maybe someone with a more soul or blues style of character (nothing wrong with a bit of thrash, but it would make your stuff sound like another thrash band, albeit a very good one). Drummer? One with an electronic kit? I saw a band called Ratatat a few years back in the states & they used a drum machine & put on an excellent show.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread as I'm considering starting a covers band just for doing parties & events. Probably a 3 or 4 piece (if it's a 4 it won't be 2 guitarists, more likely a saxophonist or violinist) & the songs will be done in a different style from the originals (I don't like doing songs how they was recorded). Here's what I've got so far... Billie Jean One Sweet child o mine Crazy (Gnarles Barkley) Staying alive Masterblaster Feeling good Army of me Disturbia Still looking for others.

A large bucket behind a full stack would be ideal, that way you can play & slay.

Are you taking the Pee?

I never knew who did the original of this (until now). Here's the version I know (from their 1st album).

Oi! Clarky, NO!!!! YOU shaln't be giving me GAS! Ok, maybe some then.

Cheers. I used a couple of coats of beeswax to seal it. Rubbed it in, left it to dry for a bit & then rubbed it down with just a clean cloth & then did the same again. I may give it another in a few weeks if needed.

Finally finished! [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/5840432981/"][/url] Some of my fave angles on it...

Here's a GK Neo 212 for £250. Might just be your ticket? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=136103"]Linky.[/url]

Check the B&C website & get the driver specs (would have a black cone tho) & then find out what makes are similar.

I know the secret, now don't take offence but have you thought about buying her some flowers? [b]Daffodils[/b]

My Mrs doesn't even like me picking my bass up, let alone playing it! I get to play guitar tho

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1269708' date='Jun 15 2011, 09:51 AM']I bought a shed online last week. Since then, the only Ads I've seen have been for online shed retailers.[/quote] I would have thought all the ads you'd see would be for drummers! I bought a couple of mics online about a month ago & most of the ads I see are for microphones.com.

Is your gear insured if you leave it unattended in your car?

But isn't a solution for the tiny stage mentioned (unless he kicks someone off the stage) & I don't understand why the OP would use a 4x10 when he has a 2x12. I'd flog the 2x10 & the 4x10 & get a 2nd 212, thus giving him the same sound as the audience hears.

It's a good idea & one I've toyed with taking up myself, but in this current climate I didn't want to take the chance. Still want to build a Tuba to add to my combo when funds allow.
