Busy weekend, after a while of not doing anything. Had an hour slot at a local festival, Party by the Parrett, and got the 6pm slot which was nice. We had played a wedding and a party at the venue, and the guy that run the club liked us. Very well organised (stocked fridge back stage and everything) and handily the two main sound guys were the guitarists friend and one of the guitarists in my other band. We had argued a bit trying to get the set list down, we had been asked to do mainly rock (there was a more poppy band and a ska band on after us, so we stuck to the rock mostly) seemed to go down well and we managed to get it down to 1hr and 3 minutes, so went over a bit, which messed stuff up a bit but not too bad. We had quite a few dancers . My guitarist / sound guy did a video from the side WhatsApp Video 2025-07-05 at 18.45.55.mp4 Today we played a pub, outside, on shingle which is a bit of a pain for getting dust everywhere and trying to stand your drink up. Also not good for wasps (or well, good depending on if you are a wasp or not!), back to the normal 2.5 hour set. To be honest I wasn't really feeling it as my hand hurt for some reason but it went well with only a few notable mistakes, like going to do the organ backing section of Brick in the wall, and not realising I didn't change my patch from the backing track of Baker street (which is like a bell), which was quite amusing. We had a request for timber which we hadn't done for a year or so but the singer couldn't remember how to play it! Glad to get back to work tomorrow for a rest!

Indeed - that sounds like the sort of bollocks that Chat GPT regularly comes out with, just enough to seem reasonable but not enough to actually make sense.

Its ok, the security checks are very lax!

No you would still mess up the change as you had got into a sort of daze of playing the same thing over and over.

Is that true, I can accept that something might hold emotional value for someone but that doesn't stop it being bad? I mean I understand that people like oasis, I don't know why, but they clearly do, and that is ok. I am a lot more tolerant of other peoples music over 35 than I was before 35.

I think it is a waste, and would encourage people to leave them as a locked thing, but there is nothing to stop someone editing their posts, and if someone doesn't want their images there they can just remove them and there isn't anything that can be done about it. Luckily it is only a small minority of posts that go like that

An active circuit would get rid of a hum induced in the cable, but if the hum is induced in the pickups there is nothing an active circuit can do about it. If I sit by my computers with one of my basses with the nordy singles, I get a hum, but can get rid of it by just tilting the bass at another angle.

If you used a compressor before it you would remove the transients you need for the envelope of some of the patches I would assume.

Bought a polytune mini from Ian and it was all done and posted in minutes, all good, thanks!

Series parallel switching is pretty much the same whether active or passive, so any circuit will do it. Its easy to do with a dpdt switch. Variable series / parallel doesn't really make sense

Well, if it was 81, 82 or 83 I could tell you. Maybe not 83

Yeh, it was 16 bars so I could get all the variations Yes, that is the bit I couldn't find, the export audio part! TBH - I should be doing this in the MPC-10 which is obviously designed for it, but I am not used to 'its' way of doing things, seems recycle copies heavily from the MPC workflow, which is the bit I haven't got used to yet. Thanks.

I had that problem with one group (different song). Ultimately I just couldn't play it wrong! New side project does Dani California with different vocal timing in the chorus and it throws me right out - I have done it in the last 3 groups, probably played it north of 300 times in that time. Luckily I have a P16, so I just turn the vocals off for that track!

Just got Recycle (its free), and tried it with a drum pattern. When you select export to midi, it complains there are too many slices and exports 91, but the midi is an odd ascending scale!

Excelent, that is on my 'buy second hand when someone gets bored of it' list!
