Richard R

Welcome aboard

He'll be in there. I looked up some of his stuff on the Internet. His current Spotify albums are solo piano, very medatative. I also came across this gem from 1983. This predates my becoming a Christian, but I recognised the album cover, so probably saw it later. Just be warned, it now sounds very dated indeed!

A few? Discreet?🤣 Thanks @ahpook

Just watching the film "Sunshine Daydream" of the Grateful Dead concert at Veneta Oregon, 1972. What is Phil Lesh playing here, and what on earth are all the knobs?

Keyboard player was Chris Rollinson. "Restore O Lord", was one of his best known tunes, but there are quite a few other in Mission Praise.

Less than three months to go - Better start the gear list. Usual format - copy the latest version of the list, add/ammend/delete your entries as usual and re-post. @Richard R : Brawley 4 and 5 string, EBS session 60 amp, cheap Aeon sustainer, cake.

@binky_bass - that seems to have resolved the problem! That setting refers the typing to Grammarly for checking. Had I known that was a setting I would have turned it off anyway, regardless of whether the API worked properly or not.

I know we moan a lot on this thread (safe space and all that), but Wednesday evening's Churches Together service, held at our church, was great! A semi-scratch band comprising drums, vocal and guitar from one church, keyboard player from another, and muggins on bass. Really good fun group to play with and the congregation got into the worship. After the first practice song I thought "I really need to up my game here!", and locked onto the snare for dear life. I found out later that the drummer is a professional musician, the backing vocalist was professionally trained, and the keyboard player is now retired but used to write with Graham Kendrick and play with Shiela Walsh and others. God was worshipped, the preaching was good, and a lots of us piled into the pub over the road afterwards and completely outnumbered the few regulars who had come in for a quiet evening watching the footy!

Absolutely this! I bought a 5 string in lockdown, and have hardly played the 4 since as I'd have to re-learn the chord shapes again. I can see when a six would be useful, but if I was playing notes that high the keyboard player would complain I was treading on his right hand.

Will do!

See how it goes! That time had a different glitch and couldn't finish the sentence !

Thanks for finding that. Had anyone contacted Samsung to report the problem? I shall try it amd

That's my post above. It's making BC unusable on my phone. Samsung Galaxy S22, running Edge as the browser.

Sorry about all the hard returns. Only on BC on my phone do I get this problem!

Pool balls would be cute. Or eyeballs for the punk and goth scene. Fishes for church bassist. The market is endless!!

Grimelight. 👍👍

Let down rather badly by the advertising and graphics team then!

I've just looked at Zoom on my laptop where I have the v-cables installed. The options don't look as I remember them, but it really ought to be possible! I'll have a play and PM you if I think I've made any progress and it's worth a call to test.

Hi @Owen I assume you're still using the Qu32? Is Zoom seeing it as just a stereo microphone? Is the zoom audio still terrible if you play a media file into the desk then stream that? That's not a slur on your FOH mixing , but if it does sound OK when you do that then we can solve the problem with a different mix to the stream, rather than with PC shenanigans. Zoom handles computer audio differently to microphone input, and is optimised for spoken word. So if you play a WAV file on your PC over Zoom with "play computer audio" then it sounds great, but the same quality of live sound is dire. So if I recall correctly I had to convince Zoom that the input was "computer audio", so it didn't muck about trying to improve it. I think I solved this sometime in 2020. I also recall it was a bit of a faff, but we did get it working as a Proof of Concept, a possible alternative to YT for services and we have used it for church meetings. I think what I did was use virtual audio cables to effectively patch the microphone input to a virtual output, and told Zoom to use that "computer sound" as the input rather than the microphone. With a bit of swearing we also got the zoom output to go back to the desk as an output, so we could here the remote users in the sanctuary, but I don't think you need that. I think it was these: VB-Audio Virtual Apps I was also using OBS as a virtual camera and it all got a bit complicated, which is why I can't remember the details. I would have to have a play and see if I can remember what I did and if I can make it work. This week is mad, but if you like I can have a go with my setup at home, and if it looks promising I'll let you know.

Let me know when you do. If I've not bought one by then I'll take if your hands.

I think I used to have a block of teflon somewhere in the garage. If I can find it over the weekend I'll let you know

And not too shabbily either. Tasteful bass playing, nicely understated.

Fairport Convention, Half Man Half Biscuit, Joe Satriani. Not on the same bill mind you ...
