ambient

Have you got Logic Pro ? The drummer things is pretty good, plenty good enough for a demo.

I use bandcamp for downloads and distrokid for sales via iTunes and spotify etc. distrokid you pay a one off annual $20 for ulimited tracks.

I'm using a Diago power supply, it didn't cost a lot and powers everything you see in my sig with ease. You can buy extra daisy chain whats-its too for about £8.

Decide what you need to work on, list those things in order of priority and what needs most work. Work out how much time you have to spare, then proportion an amount if time to each task. Keep a diary too.

[quote name='tonybassplayer' timestamp='1429371910' post='2750914'] Tell me a little more as I have never heard of record store day. [/quote] I guess it's been around for a few years now, a way of promoting record stores instead of people using Amazon or whatever.

Try Dunlop superbrights, as the name suggests, they're erm.....super bight

Yep, there's no problem at all. You may even be surprised at the number of people who will help you carry it up and down stairs at tube stations.

I would play the red circled notes as F#s because there's an F# tied over from the previous bar. You then get an F# tied over to the next bar, that's why you have the natural sign for the next F. Basically play it as it is, I can see what they mean. However - I just did an experiment typing the same notes into Sibelius, and it recognised the first tied note as being an F#, but it wanted another # sign by the next F, it didn't automatically make it a sharp, and wouldn't let me just delete the natural sign.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1429263587' post='2749746'] I think there's more than one model of Crate Taxi, but I remember plugging my bass into one belonging to a friend, and it didn't cut it for bass - no low end at all. I think a couple of people on here have had good results with the QTX battery powered mini-PA units - they look like you get a bit more for the money than with most of the battery powered instrument amps. [/quote] Thanks, that's really what I wanted to know. I'm planning to use it to do my ambient music, so a good low bass reproduction is vital. 😊

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1429226282' post='2749558'] The Roland 15x (guitar amp) is mains only. If your talking about the Roland micro cube rx (for bass) you can put rechargeable batteries in it i suppose they won't recommend it however. [/quote] Thanks, I've changed the title now. A friend has recommended something to me.

I'm looking for a busking amp. Does anyone use one of these ?

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1429183456' post='2748817'] Timmo - Have you tried Transcribe! software (seventhstring.com)? It lets you slow music down by up to 75% (without changing pitch) so you can isolate notes and figure things out. It's not overly expensive and massively useful for study. [/quote] Yeah, transcribe is great, you can change eq settings too to highlight the bass if you need to.

I use a TC Ditto x2 and a Ditto together. Probably overkill for your needs, but the creative possibilities are amazing. The Ditto x2 is a fantastic bit of kit, it does 1/2 playback and reverse, you get 5 minutes of loop, plus the ability to save your loops and reload them.

Have you heard their cover of Herbie Hancock's Butterfly ? Someone gave me a copy of them playing it live somewhere.

You could maybe get one made ?

I really want to come to see you, every time in the past though it's coincided with uni stuff, this looks a possibility though - fingers crossed

It's a nice interface. It has a headphone out, maybe use that. You're spoilt for choice with regard active monitors.

Active monitors yes. You mean a focus rite 2i2 ? I used to use the same interface.

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1429080225' post='2747673'] Unreal. [/quote] She'd been selling stuff on eBay for years, yet they didn't believe her.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429048593' post='2747506'] Just hit it with a heavy book and it'll go away. [/quote] Won't it just appear on the other side ?

The ridiculous thing is, how much would he actually get for it if he sold it all ? Probably just a fraction of its true cost.

No.

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1429046891' post='2747458'] Yup this has happened to me. You have absolutely no way of winning a situation such as this either with Paypal. They simply refuse to believe the buyer could be telling porkies, and more often than not the buyer can end up with the goods AND a refund. [/quote] My sister-in-law sold an unwanted/duplicate wedding present on ebay. The buyer claimed it was faulty which it wasn't, he got refunded and sent her back an empty box.
