Other people more qualified will be along to explain this better soon. But it is to do with your power supply. Mac Books tend not to do so. I am not getting all "Macs are the best". They should be quiet for the kind of money they cost. Is it possible to get a better Power Supply? I would imagine so, but I am not actually qualified to have a definitive opinion.

I actually have an Alesis D4 sitting here doing nothing but ideally I would like a unit that I can tuck away and pull out for those special occasions where everything is in one place. Also, my soldering skills are such that the only way I can tell which end to hold on my soldering iron is that one end hurts more than the other. It looks like a 2nd hand Alesis Control Pad is the way to go. But not this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alesis-USB-Midi-Percussion-Control-Pad/193558597102?hash=item2d10fdcdee:g:uHQAAOSwlZNeyqZ8 ""Alesis USB/Midi Percussion Control Pad. Condition is Used. No wires included". Could there be a more obvious way of saying "this is nicked"? As usual, thanks all :)

I am more than happy coming up with midi drum parts bit sometimes get fed up putting them in on a keyboard. I know there are all sorts of pads out there with sounds on board but all I want is a set of dumb pads to use as a cotroller keyboard. I could spend 250 on an Alesis Sample Pad Pro but would rather not! Any thoughts?

Not super rock but could pass if you squint Also not rock but a lovely opening which tricks you into "it is 4/4 o'clock" before it becomes clear that he is splitting a 7/4 perfectly in half.

Don't worry, I have lots already but it is always fun to get new options to make them count.

This is useful for me because I am planning next term's teaching and want to start Theory with my 1st year class. I am looking for stuff that is not run of the mill 4/4. But I am going to need some help. I cannot see Love Rears it's Ugly Head or Hysteria in anything but 4/4. Am I missing something?

It does not matter. You should not be up there anyway.

Hubba hubba!

Arco never lies. Arco always makes me sad.

That thing. Right there.

Tell me about that Orange Yamaha. Does it come in a 5er? That is a fine looking axe.

There is a lot of bling going on in that picture. And I am not just talking about the bass.

Jon Shuker is the Mr Kipling of Luthiers. He does make exceedingly good basses.

As Nail says, I have endured many worse bass solos. And Fender tone stack preamps going into FRFR 3 way cabs. What is not to like?

I would buy one of everything and have spent the last 30 years trying to.

Yep, it will be on our Youtube channel. We are achingly hip! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwK0_lPqAVqGKwQREg6JhHg. It has been such a huge amount of work that I did not have time to vid a bass line. I erased all the notes apart from the bottom one in the piano part and assigned it to a bass guitar sound in Logic. Don't judge me, but it appears that the Pianist can do it with their left hand!

I bought a CP. It was lush. But I just could not justify it so it has gone back. It was lush though.

Just for anyone else who might find themselves in the same situation, you can do it in iMovie, but it means doing it video by video and then re-importing it to put the next one in. Pretty tedious. Our 77 year old pianist has come up trumps and has worked out how to do it on some sort of freeware. I shall report back if I ever understand it. However, I have NO desire to understand it, ever.
