[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1379621530' post='2215044'] or not installing another DAW [/quote] word , no chance of using anything else TBH, I have had sooooo much pain getting to grips with DAW , I am a reaper man forever , I generally get it and seeing the results others get, it is certainly waaayyy beyond my skills and I know I have the kit to develop my skills , I just need more and more practice at it .

I cant get the Kmeter to work in either of the program files directories so I will leave it in the vst directory I created for the moment, until I get my head around it , thanks again

I have got reaper directories in both program files and in the x86 one , and a quick glance seems to have the same reaper files in both , just wondering why that might be

I have copied the instructions and put them in a folder where I thought the plugins should go , so next time I go there I will see a big READ THIS file , thanks again .

cheers guys , I will redo the directories as you suggest and then try and add a plug in every 6 weeks or so to try and rememeber what to do

yep sussed , cheers Paul , I seemed to be doing it right but It only clicked into the pop up VST list when I restarted Reaper , sorted now , final KIt tweaks coming up

I downloaded the VST but dont know where to put them to install them it wouldn't let me access the place where the standard reaper plug ins are , but I had an idea , ............ [quote][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I know its simple but I can't remember what I did on't other machine [/quote][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I had a look at the other machine and will try something else , thanks for the thought , I will add a reply or find a bangs head emoticon [/font][/color]

Help from a set up viewpoint please , I have a new computer which works really quickly and is marvelous in a lot of respects , but , as I am using it for my reaper I am trying to load in the VSTs that I have been using inc the Kmeter which I need . I can download the VSTs but a quick search points the location as kevins / appdata /reaper plugins , what I need to know is who the f**k is Kevin .......no what I need to know is how do I find the location it is not appearing on the drop down lists of places I can go , and if I paste the address into the unzip machine for the download it doesnt like it . DOH I know its simple but I can't remember what I did on't other machine thanks in anticipation

[quote name='TenLetters' timestamp='1379503673' post='2213380'] [size=3][color=#222222][font=Arial]Soundcloud has a download function so as long as you have your tracks set to download then Si (and others when all the mix files are released) can download the original WAV files. Any compression applied by the online soundcloud player wont be heard on downloaded files, as I understand it. [/font][/color][/size] [/quote] OK thanks , that makes sense.

I will meet the deadline and will be ready for another soon enough

I am just about done , I have tried to listen to mine on other systems this time but it has been really doing my head in. I don't think I am quite ready for that step yet , as it is only adding a least 2 other levels of confusion , so once I have done a touch more automation for a couple of tracks I will be uploading . I noticed on my September track that soundcloud seemed to compress and smiley EQ my entry , would this happen twice if I loaded it for Si and then when he loaded it again ? This might affect the way I present it in the first instance IYSWIM

It might seem a daft question , but if you were there ,why did you not go and talk to the guy ?

If its a gig everyone wants to play and it STILL costs for van / PA etc then I guess the others will cough up their share of the costs ?

I am new to the whole thing really, but it is is quite amazing to be able to create a tune and publish it so that anyone in the world can hear it on a whim , or directed to it , crazy really, but yeah, it rocks

I put the feelers out on a DB tonight , I think it will have to look good as it will be a bit of show piece furnture , I think that one might get spotted hiding behind the sofa , mind you we had a walk around PMT in manchester a few weeks back and she wanted me to buy a Orange Terrorbass 500 combo because it looked cool . I did not have the funding and I was only browsing anyway but it showed willing

It needs a vote to a) compile the entries so that BCers dont need to search the whole thread to publicise the completion of the months work c) enable those interested to heap praise on the 3 very worthy and superb pieces of work that has been offered for appraisal. My HUGE respect and appreciation for the both the effort and results achieved , I am humbled to be allowed to compete with you guys each month

The first gig for a while as we tend to have august off. A party at a camp site where our 'stage' was an open fronted shed it was in deepest Denbighshire and was a touch nippy , I was amazed at the way the guitarists coped with frozen fingers It was also bizarre in that the party goers were arranged around the perimeter of the field gathered around burning fire baskets to keep warm . they all seemed to enjoy it although you could barely see the peeps never mind hear any clapping . The host kept asking for songs we hadn't played for ages despite agreeing a setlist prior to the show , however as I drove, the others had had a couple of beers and were thus tempted to have a go . It was great really seat of your pants stuff , nailing going underground with cold fingers having not played it for months was very pleasing . the only downside was that some of the smoke from the fires drifted our way and the warbler struggled a bit as he is a touch asthmatic and gulping smoke flavoured oxygen tends to limit his abilities a touch. A real bullet dodged with the weather too , it was forecast horrible , but held off , it would have been a total disaster with rain . Still , a great night overall , hogroast ,cake, an early (ish) finish and an invite back as he wants to organise a mini festival based around what we did for them .

We use a community centre, £10 for the evening, bargain , and we only pay when we use it , but sundays are ours every time we want it .

As Mrs Lurks keeps paying for my new basses as pressies , I dont have a problem there , however I do get to pay for the guitars/instruments that I buy in case Lurksalittle ever gets around to taking up the challenge . That said, there was a raised eyebrow when she found out that the last £300 she spent for one at christmas was only the deposit . Still if she likes the look of them she doesn't mind as they will look quite 'cool' when they hang on the wall ( when I have finished the room that is )

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1378402457' post='2199835'] Just a thought, with how many sweaty people will use the bass, is there a decent way to stop the sigs rubbing off? [/quote] Just a thought , can you get them to sign the book aswell , just in case ?

[quote name='martin8708' timestamp='1378503567' post='2201360'] I've played in duo's with just guitar / bass and just simply tapping your feet to your own internal metronome seems to work well . [/quote] Metronome is the word , it becomes you , you wil feel it , always practice with one

Very solid sound in that lot , excellent stuff, I haven't listened to all of your stuff to compare the feel , but you certainly all give it some welly , well done the effort seems to have paid off in this lot

Focusright Scarlett 2i2 here also , a real gem of a bit of kit , it really helped me as it was the first bit of audio kit that really seemed straightforward and simple enough to work straight out of the box and does everything I have needed so far

Many thanks Dad ( if I may also be so familiar ) I think maybe I was a touch trigger happy but then, in the overall scheme of things I did try to use them as a snare effect with the necessary randomness thrown in . I am sure the soundcloud treatment squashes the mix , It had far more dynamic range on my system before I uploaded it and seems to have a smiley face EQ thrown at it . Still , I think the idea comes through OK , I will Try to catch up on my listening soooon.
