[quote name='TenLetters' timestamp='1368554331' post='2078515'] Hi, Is there any reason why the k-meter would be showing at near 0 on the 'mix' session but only -16 on the rendered wav? both sessions sound approximately the same volume. Also, just to double check it is the green meters were intrested in for this, not the floating white/red bars? [/quote] The K14-meter effectively recalibrates 0db to -14db (this is over simplified explanation) so although @ 0db on K14-meter it is -14db on a 'normal' metering and yes, green meters

I can't really wear tee shirts - I am the wrong shape.

can't help but check the email several times a day right now........

Cross between muscle memory and instinct.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1368541844' post='2078236'] I can't remember phoning anyone after receiving a deposit - having worked in telesales many moons ago I have a bit of a phobia about making telephone calls, it's like I already used up my lifetime allocation in a few very looooooong years... Expect a response by email but don't expect it quickly at the moment, we're all trying to stay away from the computers and keep all hands on actual manufacturing during the working day. [/quote] I remember a phone call after I paid my deposit, whether it was made by me or received by me, I can't remember - it wasn't you I spoke to, Alex, but another chap...you may remember I commented on what a great salesman he was as he managed to sell me a tweeter to go in my super twelve.

I used one iof these for a while...horrible it was....neck dive was awful.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1368446629' post='2077089'] Did you get any confirmation that "yep, got your order, thanks, all under control, now sit, relax and wait"? I paid my deposit but did not get any kind of confirmation... just wondering whether it's normal or maybe I should check? [/quote] Did you not get a phone call to go through what it was that you wanted? I did a couple of days after paying my deposit. Discussed all manner of things: what basses I played, where I played, what pedals I used etc etc.....that conversation upsold a tweeter to me!! ha HA

It's the suppliers I feel sorry for in all this.

[quote name='Barefootbassplayer' timestamp='1368185784' post='2074170'] ..I'm into my 17th week of waiting for my big twin! [/quote] !!!!!!!!!! 17weeks???? That would make me only half way there!!

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1368191277' post='2074291'] is it ok to use your index finger to fret a note then using it to bar the other strings so you arent using the pad of the finger but the whole finger instead? [/quote] Only you can be the judge of that, who else is even caring?

Use Pedalboard Tape - it is so much better than velcro. [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/pedalboard-tape-698-p.asp"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/pedalboard-tape-698-p.asp[/url]

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1368197354' post='2074383'] I prefer Musicman Sterlings to Stingrays. I'd say it depends on the persons preferances in all honesty [/quote] So do I but own neither. It's the narrower neck width on the Sterlings that swings it.

I would have offered but am cabless atm but am just up the road from St Albans...

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368038628' post='2072440'] I'm trying to recreate an already existing beat as best I can, I doubt it would be in a beat-library. [b]And at the unusual speed of 123bpm...[/b] [/quote] The beauty of using pre-programmed midi loops is that the tempo is largely irrelevant - they will assume the tempo of your project. Check out Groove Monkee and the like... I know the midi files from Toontrack (makers of EZdrummer & Superior Drummer) have been recorded using real drummers and can be used with any drum sample player.

[quote name='Alex' via unsolicited E-mail'] It should be done pretty soon... [/quote]

I took a gamble and bought the SKB anyway and I can report that the M80 Mono does fit in the SKB Roto case.....but only just!! It took quite some effort to get the latches to hook up - I was determined not to be defeated....I suspect the new foam in the end and on the heel didn't help too much. I would not be able to use the exterior pocket of the M80 though, that must be empty to get the thing in. Hope this might help someone as mad as me.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368022357' post='2072139'] Mate, I know we don't get on, [/quote] Really? Hadn't really noticed. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368022357' post='2072139'] but not everything I write is having a pop at you,[/quote] Do I really seem that paranoid? [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368022357' post='2072139'] you know. If we ever meet I'll get the beers in. [/quote] Scotch & Ginger, ta, a large one

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368021828' post='2072128'] [/quote] your point? Try it, it works.... For years I've been trying to get fills to sound more natural.......drummers, in reality tend to pause before they start a roll...they've been 'in the groove' and then realise sh*t I have to do something else and it always happens 'late'....

what samples are you using? I find it best using a drum sample player that uses layered samples so that at differing velocities different samples play. [Battery3 for electronic sounding / Superior Drummer2 for acousticdrums] I also find that varying the velocity to reflect how a drummer hits his skins then adds a groove/ vibe to it - this will only work if the kit you play uses velocity layered samples.. Also vary the timing slightly as not all drummers are metronomic. There a few other tricks especially when it comes to getting fills to sound natural...eg put the fill 15ticks (of 960) late...this reflects the drummer's 'thinking time'.... Edit: oh and ghost notes make it sound more real and balancing the close and room mics (assuming your sample player has them) will probably create enough reverb in itself..

Ok it seems I missed something 'spectacular' over the weekend..... You can stop PMing me now. Thanks

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1367922557' post='2070973'] Are you just trolling? [/quote] Nope It's an intro thread that reads like I should already know who the geezer is. I'm not psychic..... Having read a bit more of the thread it seems others do know him but I can't work out how they could work that out from the opening post. Meh

[quote name='douggie' timestamp='1367834147' post='2069875'] Hi All Just wanted to drop a line to say I do like popping in here and generally have the cockles of my heart warmed by the kind and respectful things most people have to say to and about me, which is why I'm generally glad to answer questions and give advice, (Usually just on what gear for what song for your Floyd tribute band, so, easily done..) By and large we bass players are a lovely lot. it would be ridiculous to expect there not to be folk who don't like me, and I often respect the opinions expressed, (even I don't like me sometimes..)Although, I would say to anyone who thinks that they're being witty by using my surname as an insult against me, you're really not. I think I was well within my rights to kick off at having my actual character questioned to the point of slander though (And by a moderator..Oh the irony....) But onwards and upwards, all water under the bridge. Cheers Guy [/quote] Guy who? That reads like I should already know you or something?

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1367917666' post='2070858'] We need a Barefaced Waiting Room Support Group [/quote] How true is that? Having sold my cab weeks ago I have been cabless since....... 8 weeks in and the waiting is getting to me. Postponed a potential gig in Amsterdam due to lack of cab (no worries - it was unlikely to have actually happened anyway)..... My GAS won't be quashed until the cab arrives so have been comfort spending to help me through the wait.... all stuff I sort of need...Mono M80 gigbag (fed up of lugging a full flightcase around) and I've taken a gamble on a SKB bass safe, hoping the M80 will fit inside it (gamble because nobody was able to tell me) for when i have to fly next....oh and 2 sets of new strings to try as did a recording session on Saturday and it all seemed a bit too thuddy with my flats so going to redo the session on half rounds now..... Please barefaced stop me spending all my money soon and get my cab built. ha ha

Good luck with the wait! In week 8 of my wait for a S12T at the moment
