Not so much songs, but the genre of House music with inane 3 chord house piano on. I worked on a lot of these and it killed a little bit of me inside every time. 18 hours of House music at loud volume. Arrgg.

Totally agree. Same with Silver Machine but substitute dungarees for leathers. Round, and round and Round, and round and Round, and round and Round, and round

Why, what happened yesterday?
-
👆 Very good words there. Add in a loud drummer, a guitarist who has to play on 11 all the time, a vocalist who needs their vocals loud in the monitors, keyboard player without their own monitor, a room with concrete walls, a small stage... I dont know why I did it for so long 🤦🏼

I often wish there was such a thing as an audio version of a thermal imaging camera. Real time display.

Probably because the Aux sends for the monitor is Pre-fader (and as most feedback is due to loud monitor volumes) turning the pre Eq gain (ie pre fader) would turn down the monitors too, helping reduce feedback. However, turning monitors down using the gain isn't really the way to do it, it should be turned down via the Aux send. Channel gains would normally be set at the sound check and not really touched again as it effects everything on that channel (other aux sends, post fader volume etc) Note. Eq is pre-monitor mix (normally) so adding top eq to get the FoH sound will effect the monitors and this can cause feedback, so taking the top off can help reduce f/b. Even turn the hi eq down on the physical monitor helps.

I had that record as a kid. Yummy yummy yummy

My 2 cents worth, no. Unless you're in a room with completely parallel walls, the chances of getting any cancelation or comb filtering in a pub/club full of chairs, tables, punters, bikes on walls etc, I'd have thought were 0. Not to say that it will probably sound different in different areas, but I wouldn't have thought that was due reflected cancellation. @Phil Starr interesting video, but unless I've missed something, you're man seems to miss that an audience will stand in the middle of the room, not in "middle middle", so on his model they get no mid/top at all.

WOT? They can hear new music? ... In their head? 😱
Buddster replied to BassTractor's topic in General Discussion
I can't solo for toffee with other musicians (probably because I haven't learnt my scales properly), but occasionally I get a visual of a big band playing in my head and if I don't concentrate too hard, the music just flows, drums, brass, bass the lot. It doesn't go on for long as trying not to concentrate is hard. But when it has happened it's great. -
Well the singer wanted to do Filthy Gorgeous, and I said I'd only do it we do Car Wash (which I knew anyway), so partly my own madness. Proper finger work out, but not difficult
-
We've joined Car Wash and Filthy Gorgeous together for an octavefest

Yes, I agree, my wife is completely understanding of me having different ones, even if she doesn't know why.
-
The affliction of a wife who asks why i have so many basses, but don't use them? Yes, I do. Not sure she'd understand even if I could explain it. But to your point, yes I have a favorite I play and gig that feels right, but I like the others.

Which companies are dead to you?

If Trump is reelected, America is dead to me. -
Don't tell Santa you're selling it! She may not do the buffet again! -
Not parking related, but did a pub gig last night. Car parked outside 20ft from the front door. Easy. Except for the punters/smokers who insisted on standing in the doorway blocking it. Ffs, a whole car park to stand in and you all crowd into a 10ft square space. 🤦🏼
-
Yes, if irc we had to take out the brushes to make room. Did the sound there once. Most god awful place to get a good mix further back than 10ft from the stage. Desk location sound had no relation to the dance floor.
-
That's a shame Neep. Was hoping you'd bring down a box of Butteries! As well as your wonderful collection of bass ofc.

To answer my own question "Vintage: Denoting something from the past of high quality, especially something representing the best of its kind. Antique: Having a high value because of age and quality. Classic: Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind."
-
Where is the division between vintage and classic? And why is it a Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jazz but a 70s Fender jazz is called Vintage 🤔
-
I bought this '94 jazz off here from Ramsey777 as I was looking for a project. It was originally red and had been converted (very well) to have P pickups. I wanted to add a PJ to the collection but with jazz neck/body, so really glad this came up. Stripped the body back and resprayed in Gulf Racing blue. Added a new white pickguard. Really happy with the result. Took my time setting it up how I like it and plays and sounds great.

Where are we going to get scratchplates made these days?
Buddster replied to franzbassist's topic in Repairs and Technical
Just had one made 2 days ago from https://tinytone.co.uk/ Excellent service, def recommend -
Anything that has a browser, which is any table/phone I guess. With our Soundcraft we've used iphone, ipad, android phone and tablet, Amazon fire, Apple laptop. You get the drift. I'd recommend at least a 10" screen as it can get fiddly using your finger on a small screen. But as there's no processing (it's just a browser window) you don't need to go expensive. As has been mentioned, the wifi can be a bit intermittent so we run a separate router.
