    Just to check, have you been emailing [email protected]?

    Fixed it for ya :-)

    Here's a little Q4n clip from a dep I did last night. The camera is behind the PA, so you're just getting backline and the backside of the monitors.

    Hello! When is it? I used it last night at a dep gig, which was P-and-flats all the way. It's SO SOLID AND FAT.

    Ibanez Promethean P5110... if you can find one. Amazing little things.

    Not tediously boring at all. Very enlightening, thank you.
  8. wateroftyne
    Yeah - I've read a lot of comments about them, mostly from people saying they just use them at rehearsals. I'm intrigued as to how common they are during concerts.

    There’s such a fundamental relationship between the musician, their peers, the room acoustics and the mood the conductor is in, I’m amazed even the lightest attenuation doesn’t strip too much of it away.
  10. wateroftyne
    Wow - I’m genuinely suprised at that.

    Ear protectors surprises me. Are they worn, do you know? Just during rehearsals, or for the performances, too?
  12. wateroftyne
    I'm quite surprised I seem to be alone in this. Orchestras rely on individual dynamics for nuance. There's no-one in FOH to tweak the balance. How on earth is an orchestral player supposed to nail dynamics whilst wearing ear protection?
  13. wateroftyne
    OK...
  14. wateroftyne
    You can't see what's impractical about an viola player performing in an orchestra with ear protection? Seriously?
  15. wateroftyne
    It's so impractical as to suggest it's not worth them even showing up.
  16. wateroftyne
    ...or the furniture is rearranged so no-one is sitting immediately in front of the brass.
  17. wateroftyne
    Of course not. Nor is it practical to wear earplugs. The inference being that there has to be a third way...
  18. wateroftyne
    Yes indeed.
  19. wateroftyne
    To be blunt, you’re going to have to suck it up and move on.
  20. wateroftyne
    I can't see a problem with the ruling. Is it even practical to wear earplugs in an orchestra..?
  21. wateroftyne
    God... it's fugly, too.
  22. wateroftyne
    Yeah.... unfortunately we don't live in Utopia. Or North Korea :-D

    Is the suggestion here that BC shouldn't allow any criticism / joshing? How about if none of us are acquainted with the subject (personally, or via social media), is that allowable?
  24. wateroftyne
    The practical answer to that is ‘If you don’t like any sort of criticism, don’t perform in public, and don’t post anything on social media.’ It comes with the territory.
  25. wateroftyne
    This would be assuming all band members are equal. Now there’s a question...
