Our singer does that. Which means at least 2 or 3 songs a gig he doesnt get the first line out as the microphone is off!

I used to use a TC Helicon MP75, which sound wise I think is much better for my voice, but have gone to a behringer backup as I found watching a video I move quite a bit when singing, and the MP75 is hypercardoid, so when I go a few degrees off axis the sound drops out drastically, and unfortunately I go off axis quite a lot.

Where Have All The Singers Gone? Long Time Passing!
Woodinblack replied to Chienmortbb's topic in General Discussion
In my band I do backing vocals (I am good at harmonies) and I have 3 songs as main vocals (was 4 but had to drop one due to the keyboard player leaving). I did find out though that some things are harder to sing then you would think - I did an open mic with the drummer and guitarist but not the singer, and we did a few songs, the guitarist wanted to do stuck in the middle with you - I found that although the song is easy to sing and play, I couldn't get the timing of the singing right for the 'stuck in the middle with you' of the chorus, because it was out of time with the bass and I couldn't get my voice to do it without practice. -
Thats nice.. Would be good with gold hardware but still good. And also good video of the radiator

I can get enjoyment from all sorts although if something is too simple I have to really concentrate to not get distracted and lose my place. But although in general I am ok playing the straight stuff, I couldn't do more than a couple of songs of it, an prefer something a bit more interesting for enjoyment while playing - I don't really get enjoyment having done something unless I am practicing to myself

Makes sense, but I have rechargables in all these things and I just routinely rotate through them, there are the wireless microphone, guitar sender and IEM that get changed at every gig, a USB power bank and the batteries in various things such as the P2, cable tester, foot pedals etc that get changed every month or so.

Taking a back-up desk (and other kit) to gigs
Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in PA set up and use
I just take the mixer, never had a problem with it, so I doubt I would. I guess if something went wrong we could cobble something together, but never been an issue, -
Not my gig, the drummers gig with his other band. He played the pub we are playing new years eve on, only when he got there he saw posters for another group at new years eve. So he asked and they don't remember booking us (we do, and confirmed it), a whole year ago. Also the gig that we had the week before christmas contacted us to say they didn't have enough ticket sales for their event so they are cancelling it, so there is Christmas gone as well as a non trivial amount of money! Going to be a quiet Christmas, have nothing to the end of January now

Tell me about Rick-o-sound: gimmick or useful?

MOD Device (Dwarf/Duo/Duo X) owners' club - Tips, Ideas & Patches
Woodinblack replied to SamIAm's topic in Effects
I have just gone down to a smaller one - just seems that as I have a pedalboard on it, it is a pain that i need a separate pedal just to make one noise! Single shot sample triggered by midi. I will check the audio file plugin if it does that. -
That old problem of missing notes when playing
Woodinblack replied to FretsOnFire's topic in General Discussion
I have done that many times in my last group with 'ever fallen in love' and 'teenaged kicks' - they always merged into one with me! -

MOD Device (Dwarf/Duo/Duo X) owners' club - Tips, Ideas & Patches
Woodinblack replied to SamIAm's topic in Effects
OK, so now I am back gigging with my mod dwarf and I am happy with the sound, although I probably need to set up some new patches that I used on my ME90B while the dwarf was away. If I can get a sample playback plugin I can drop a pedal from the pedalboard, and add some other things. Looking it seems that there is still no sample playback pedal so once again I think I need to try and make one. Has anyone (and I am probably guessing @SamIAm ) had any luck building a plugin on a mac? If not I have some PCs around, would just be easier on the mac. Then I need to look at some autowah - or I guess I can repurpose my voume pedal as a expression. but only if I get the room by removing the jamman! -

I am fine with that but always mess up the verse -

Where Have All The Singers Gone? Long Time Passing!
Woodinblack replied to Chienmortbb's topic in General Discussion
We have a lot of singer songwriter types, guy/girl with acoustic guitar singing something soulful or righteous for a while, seems to have been the trend for a decade now. But we don't really have a shortage of bands either, most of the pubs that are still open have a live band one at the weekend, just not as many pubs that there used to be. -

Woodinblack replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in Bass Guitars
Chris squire always played that way. Its actually easier to deal with now, if you have something like a helix (other brands are available) with stereo inputs you can just use a stereo to mono cable (or even a stereo wireless - lekato do one) and setup one channel per pickup, can probably get some good sounds that way. I use stereo quite a bit as the chapman stick is stereo, although that is more obviously useful as the bass comes out one side and treble the other, so processing is good and my rick is a 4004 so no ric'o'sound. Easiest way is if you have a 4003, just try it. All you need is a stereo to dual mono adapter which costs a couple of quid at most, and see if you can make a good sound with it that makes it worth it, don't be put off by what people who haven't tried it or it isn't part of their sound do, its what it sounds like to you that matters. I would certainly use it if I had it. -
You mean, january and it is a jazz, or you actually know it was made on the 7th some other way?

I was going to say that it was worth it if it was around £1000 so you could do it up, then clicked the link. No!

Woodinblack replied to FretsOnFire's topic in General Discussion
Well, if you feel you have missed a few notes, add some in later -
3 (24 bits) * 12 (channels) * 96,000 (Hz) = 3,456,000 bytes / sec 32GB =29.802 GiB / 3,456k = 9259 seconds = 2:34:19 - so about 2 ½ hours in about 8 files I would assume.

Counterfeit Gibsons making the news
Woodinblack replied to oakforest5961's topic in General Discussion
Even worse - if they were still alive, its something that wasn't good enough for them so they sold because it wasn't worth what they would get for it. -
MIDI Pedal for Starting/Pausing Logic
Woodinblack replied to BigRedX's topic in Accessories and Misc
yes - I have one of these. It is not just bluetooth, it does have a hardware midi connection and the use of its button is controllable by software (which is called cube suite). I couldn't find a manual but there is a page on the mod dwarf site which is basically how to connect it to a mod dwarf (obviously) but does cover its operation quite well which might be useful https://forum.mod.audio/t/midi-chocolate-controller-with-the-mod-dwarf-an-introduction/7003 -
Something don't smell right about this Rick
Woodinblack replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Well, yes, I don't know andy baxters shop at all, but he seems well regarded and you have some chance of a followup if something goes wrong. There are a large number of people selling on ebay that don't seem to understand that if the full retail price of something is £3k, selling at 10% off that isn't a bargain, when you aer not providing the options, support and piece of mind that a shop is. Especially when most shops sell 10% below RRP anyway
