    It's not supposed to be good. In fact the worse the singers are, the more people will get up, the more people lsugh and the more drink is consumed. As soon as someone good goes up, everyone else will be put off getting up.

    Would it be a bad time to mention the brown note?

    The video claims that the nautral frequency of 8hz is the resonance of thunder. And our ears have evolved to resonate at certain frequencies because of that. I didn't watch further than that.

    What a load of nonsense. Octaves based on 8hz are 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512. People will believe anything it seems. 🤦‍♂️😂

    Drummer from British Lions, Simon Dawson, set to take over. Makes sense if Steve Harris already knows him and plays well with him.
  6. TimR
    Why?

    First, it's difficult to get musicians together on the same night to rehearse, musicians with common music choices, musicians who stick around long enough to get gig ready, and musicians who are interested in doing the same number of gigs as each other. A solo artist makes all of that redundant. @Lozz196 point regards modern music; it's difficult to find creative musicians who want to take a modern tune and rearrange it to suit the band's instrumentation. I've lost count of the number of times I've been told "We dont have a keyboard player", "We only have one guitarist", or "That's a male song.". A solo artist can pretty much perform with a different band for each song.

    What is teh requirement for stereo monitoring. Seems a lot of extra faff for no reward whatsoever. Especially if you're taking a FOH feed from the main PA and mixing it in to your bass.

    Following the SBL IEM video, I have put some ZS10s on my Christmas list. I'm not sure if I'll use them as stage IEMs as seems like a bit of a faff fot not much return, although following our last gig, even moderate volume is giving me ringing in the ears when I get to bed. Wanted to try them to see how good they were for home practice while isolating external noise/distractions. If they're good will look at wireless and mini mixer options.

    An instrumental version of Money For Nothing at a house party. Aged 17. We unplugged the rhythm guitarist and he played the whole thing without realising. Might as well start as I meant to go on... Although quite possibly it wasn't the first. We also played One Vision, Tie Your Mother Down, a Status Quo Medley, Paranoid, some others and I think a handful of tunes we had written ourselves.

    I was just looking at that. Looks like the controls have been modded as well.

    Didn't he play drums or was that George Best?

    Maybe everyone else is aware, but watching TOTP2: Boy bands; Bros are on, drummer and singer are Bros and there's a Bass player - no other musicians. So Google... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Logan

    Use of rit. and passing chords.

    Perry Mason. There's a great video of it being played live by Rob Trujillo.

    Musicians good enough to dep will do a handful of rehearsals before getting bored.

    Seems to be the same situation I'm in. Don't these people understand. Write the material. Audition musicians with a timeline to the potential first gig. Get gig ready. Record a demo. Get gigs.

    I appear to be doing this regularly. It's 15mins from my home and they're looking for a permanent bass player. The band leader has been through about 50 musicians in the last 3 years looking for the perfect players and refining his 10 tunes. I think he doesn't actually know what he is looking for.
  22. TimR
    OK. Well the only solution in that case is for him to play to the venue amd you to set the volumes of the other instruments to the venue and not the drums. Messing with microphones and mixing the instruments too high is only making it worse. Ultimately the proper way to mix a band in a small venue is to set the lead vocals to an appropriate level (where there is no feedback amd you're not forcing the punters to stand at the back) and then mix everyone up to that level.
  23. TimR
    OK. I've missed something. Is the drummer using a floor monitor? Everyone else in ears. Where is the feedback from? Is it the mains because you're having to boost the vocals over the drummer? If so, turn the drummers floor monitor down. If he can't hear it then he'll have to tailor his drum volume to balance that. I suspect this is a mini version of volume wars. Drums loud, turn up monitor, drums play louder, turn up mains to cope. Etc etc. Turn down his floor monitor.

    https://service.shure.com/s/article/difference-between-cardioid-and-supercardioid?language=en_US As I say, watch the placement of the monitor. They will have less rear rejection.
  25. TimR
    If you use a Beta; move the monitor speaker to the side which helps then as well.
