I added 8 channels using my Digidesign 002 essentially as a submixer via ADAT into my UAD, so much easier than I thought it would be 👍

I don't even have to hear Danko playing, simply watching him play the bass makes me feel better, so much joy and so much talent

On reflection rhythm guitarists were often the biggest challenge…..

Defined an era for me, beautiful song 👍

Why not 👍

Remember seeing Black Uhuru in the early '80's IIRC at Notting Hill, I could feel my viscera resonating with the bass. Glorious sound and feeling, absolutely glorious

As the title suggests, this should probably be in feedback, but it's too nice and life affirming a story so here goes..... I sold a couple of items to one of our long-standing elder statesmen @Oldman a while back. We haggled over prices a little and money went back and forth. Eventually we agreed things and I mentioned to him that I was taking my young 'uns Ella and Katie into town to spend the cash he'd sent. All done Today a card arrived addressed to me. The girls had their birthdays recently and I assumed that it was a late card and that I knew who it was from, so I passed it to them and said "This is for you girls". They both ripped apart the envelop and showed me two gift vouchers with their names on and I said "Is it from .....?" to which they replied "It's got something to do with an old man Daddy". We read the card together and given we were having a bit of a crap morning (it's a very first world problem we're currently dealing with BTW but nonetheless a crap morning), as a family we all sat down and said 'Wow, that has made our month" The internet's a funny place, we build sometimes good and sometimes problematic relationships with people we've never met (I've done both), but all too often it's at arm's length and lacks real emotional clout. Brian @Oldman, thank you so much for this, it made us smile and reaffirmed our faith that the world is a great place, and reminded my daughters that kindness is a really important thing 👍 Chris

Big part of playing reggae bass for me has been the other musicians, the way the bass sits in time is as much about them, especially the drummist but also the guitars, keys etc. I doubt my ability to play reggae has changed much band to band over the years, but the degree to which is feels like an authentic reggae bass vibe certainly has 👍

interesting.......... 🤔 Who's on bass?

For no particular reason - although possibly that I loved Gabriel's first solo album - I felt the same. What surprised me yesterday was that the tracks I heard felt like they were recorded a lot earlier than was the case. It actually took me a while for the 'It's Collins' voice' moment to happen. Having said the above, I still count Follow You Follow Me as one of my favourite all time songs, a bit out of character for me!

Stick a P-PUP between those Js?

Sounds pretty crap for sure and thanks for sharing, but doesn’t change my sentiments towards him much 🤔

No one who has $2,500,000 to lose will ever get much sympathy from me mate, and I doubt anyone forced the tour on him. Hissy fits? Mate of mine had a meltdown on stage following a long-running issue with the singer. He put his guitar down, told the singer and audience he was leaving the band, apologised, walked off stage to the bar, bought a pint and watched the rest of the gig. Much classier. He also saud afterwards that if he was being honest the band sounded better without him anyway 👍

Thanks @lowdown and agreed, I do subscribe to Zencastr and have done since April 2020. I can't see anything on their platform indicating the change, I'm guessing for most users who simply download an mp3 of the session it's not relevant, but I download the wav files into Pro Tools and often use audio tracks from more than one Zencastr recording session in a final Pro Tools mix so it's annoying if get-aroundable with some tweaks. Re Pro Tools, the information re different sample rates was/is there but I simply didn't check as I've never needed to. We live and learn 👍

Wow, just wow, I never liked him much from an interview I saw way back when, but I like him even less now!

This is a sad reflection to a degree on Jaco's extraordinary talent and the limited understanding of the effects talent/success/fame/illness/addiction at the time. There's the horrible moment in his own instructional DVD where he says to his co-presenter following a compliment on his playing "Well give me a gig man" that say it all

I'd have assumed you'd have gone for better Nik?

Thanks mate, had a Genesis moment today also, so perhaps my brain is slowly coming around to this stuff

And was really surprised just how much I liked it 👍 A while back my daughters insisted on a bloody Alexa, and while it took me a while, I've learned to shout "Alexa, play...." and then say the first band name that comes into my head. And today it was Genesis, and amazingly the first track was from Duke, an album I had heard and dismissed a long time ago but which just worked today. Wasn't so good when the first band that came into my head was Steps however. And not so good when Alexa's hearing aid failed and UFO become JLS. But otherwise, the Alexa game can be quite good fun 🤔

Crikey, this thread feels like a million years ago now, I should try listening again sometime 👍
