The speaker demos at the bash looked like a line dropping about 3dB per ocrave with a peak or three. While it was easy to see how some went down to about 70Hz and others more like 120Hz, it would have been easier to interpret if the plot was normalised to get rid of the slope. It would also have been easier to visualise their high frequency performance. The app has a and c weighting options. A weighting reduces low and high frequencies to refect how the ear percieves loudness. C weighting is similar but for very loud sounds and is a bit flatter (i.e. doesn't reduce low and high frequencies as much).

There's probably something close . It would be more useful if it normalised to allow for the drop per octave, which would make it easier to interpret. Ah... just checked and you can switch it to A weighting...

In my younger days a band's worth of guys would have bounced the car out of the way (two bounce the rear up and down and three push when the weight is off the back axle). Not that I endorse such behaviour now!

Me? The 'some kind of spectrum analyser app' is in the Google app store. It's called, 'Spectrum Analyser'.

I've been enlightened by how many musicians have a good basic knowledge of theory but don't read. Also they often don't talk in terms if theory as they assume no-one else knows any. Discovered one of my bands we all know about resolving roots, basic modes and more 'interesting' chords, for example.

Doubtful, it seems pretty far fetched. 🤭 It might even have been an attempt at humour. 🙄

Cheddar Cheesesticks?

It was a Squirt.

I found that set about 3 o'clock I got a brilliant funk sound that made even my slapping sound half decent.

That's exactly what I was about to say. A new bass should be pretty much immaculate, not chipped and scratched. They should have refined the body before letting it out of their workshop.

They have a couple here.

Ptash. At least Rush will deliver a quality performance.

The only time I made an impression at Karaoke was when I chose "Firestarter" 🤣

A seat with a view of the stage at Ronnie's that's a score.

Just joshing...

Why buy a cheap one from China, when you can pay a king's ransom for one from America that's almost as bad? 😁

I've just booked into a hotel for three nights. The 'above lively music venue' was an attraction... I enquired and it's karaoke on friday and saturday...

3" O think! pjb eat yer heart out!

I once added a port to a small combo I made, using the cut and try a card tube method. This improved it. I felt the wadding was a bit dense and started pulling bits out of the port. By the time I had pulled all the wadding I could get to out of the hole, it sounded much better. Not sure this is of any use, except to say don't be afraid to experiment.

We work a few songs in parallel... otherwise it would take forever.

With better spelling, I hope.

Me...

See... you know what I mean.

I have (hopefully) four more cheap dmx PAR lights (for a total of six) coming tomorrow with one of the cheap controllers. It may be weeks before I have time to experiment propery dueto work
