I am away tonight but depending on what time I get back I might make trip , are tickets on the door ?

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1374862457' post='2154264'] Mine still only has 1 vote? It wasn't that bad, was it? [/quote] I guess it is , but then so are a few , maybe mine aswell , or maybe not

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1374614754' post='2151015'] Nice one Milty! The more people get interested in this, the better Is there a rough mix of the track already available? If so please post a link so we can have a listen and get everyone's opinion on it for the next challenge. Speaking of which, I'll need to hand over responsibility of running the next one to someone else (August is going to be crazy busy at work!)... although I'm very happy to muck in again after that. So... any takers?? [/quote] I will have to check the upload speeds at work , If they are half decent I could have a go , but I am away half the month and realistically wont be able to sit down and do anything until 28th unless it becomes a 2 monther again and I should be fine for the end of September

There is some great stuff in there , well done guys , after a few listens I have cast my vote,

Argh , my eyes hurt , All that jazz even in closed book form

Is the idea that we can mash up the stuff we have already done or are we expected to produce new works for each picture ? I have lots of holidaying to do this month and will struggle either way , but just in case ....

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1374614095' post='2151002'] That's fairly mega, it has split my decision so far. Well done mate. [/quote] Cheers bud , I am happy now .

its Top Mark , see what I did there Its great listening , though all those numbers and names pass straight over my head I would have loved to have used a few of those sounds this month , Keep them coming .

Ok heres mine , it is not as I had hoped at all , but it is worth sharing , I had to do the vocal , and the daughter lost interest at the singing point , she helped with the ideas though. There are lots of bits I like about it and have learned loads doing it , and as it was all done with this thread in mind it seems daft not to put it in . I think I will really struggle to get anything in for next month as I am away for 2 and half weeks of it and have some preparation to do beforehand. So, warts and all I give you [url="https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/shine-on"]my July entry [/url]

Holy Schmoley. The power of the music to bring people to tears is very impressive ... but so is the power of Basschat , my ribs are hurting aswell

Don't do anything. Unless you can get a loud enough rig (with the right sound) to replace it and come away with with money in your pocket , I wouldn't bother , is the TVX a heavy cab ? maybe the weight is the issue with that 210 call . but no need to DI if you get the right lightweight cab . When and where do you play, I am not a million miles away from the CW postcodes

[quote name='genendeddie' timestamp='1374244831' post='2146861'] .... Quo Live is probably the greatest Live album ever (mmmm maybe not but its right up there) [/quote] Its a great album and really captures the spirit of the band . I love that they still do plenty of gigs and play proper theatres , they tour every year and in venues where the sound is decent. They still cut live well enough to make the night a party . I was hoping to go to an outdoor gig near Crewe next month , but I am away .

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1374424106' post='2148562'] Moral of the story is that rehearsing is a waste of time... [/quote] Aha , the code of the lead guitarist We played twice this weekend and last night and everyone said how good the solos were , I guess the fact we had a 'practice' gig on the friday helped made it a bit easier to remember what to pull out of the bag of notes he carries around I have to say though , this roasting weather seems to be emptying the pub scene , we took a few to both gigs and without them both venues would have been empty .

I am nearly ready to put mine up , it has been the vocal holding me up and I had to do it myself , so overall for amonths work it is a bit of a let down , but it might tempt a touch of pity from some kind soul

This is a tricky on for me this month , My favourite piece is hardly a mix, it seems almost a re-recording , some of the best of the others have left in bits that I would have thought were first for the chop, those that didn't do that then seemed to have lost the drums , or sped the song up a touch. dilemmas , dilemmas.

In the last band I was in , we payed blues , performed by engineers , it kind of lacked spontanaity and dare I say musicality

we will agree to differ on this , but I find the learning process a big part of the fun , investigating and pinning something down is what makes it stick , its what helps you to understand the topic and how everything comes together , you do it your way , but in answer to your question ... [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1374097748' post='2145338'] ...............you try looking up a tutorial for everything you want to do and tell me that it isn't tedious. [/quote] ......I think you'll find I already answered that in the next bit of my post that you quoted just after you asked the question !! [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1374097748' post='2145338'] Mate, you called me patronising the other day. [/quote] Irony

Sorry , I was being a bit facetious really. after all you start a thread asking for opinions on a software upgrade , get loads of quality advice , give out plenty of encouraging feedback , and finish with a shoulder shrug to intimate that you can't be blessed with the learning process of what you already have !! My advice , is don't upgrade , don't even think of adding anything else until you can use what you have got . Skol already told you that, you then told him you understood and in the next few words you showed that you missed the point totally . Learn to use what you have got , read the books and tutorials, the you tube tutorials make learning so easy it is untrue., BUT if you don't want to learn it, don't. but you wont learn anything if you don't listen to those that are trying to help you, the first lesson in this discipline is learning to listen

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1374084858' post='2145178'] I understand what you mean, and believe me, a lot of my days now are being spent in Logic, but I was just wondering about the new version. Regardless of whether it's good or not, I'm not likely to buy it any time soon anyway. What I would really like though is somebody to teach me how to do all the things I want to in Logic. Trying to figure it out myself or constantly looking for tutorials online is a tedious task. [/quote]

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1373841685' post='2142254'] I don't know if you noticed, but there hasn't been much demand for it after Peter's gig, which is a shame. [/quote] Thank you for bringing that to my attention , but there was no need [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1373841685' post='2142254'] I want to get it to another gig, and if that means having to ask about a little bit, I will do that. [/quote] maybe that is what it needs , and we all want to see it move on , but if it is to be a BC Relay there are plenty of members who will join in when the time is right . ed to Bluejay

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1373839919' post='2142226'] Again, does anybody know who Steven Clutton is? He commented on our Facebook status. [/quote] This is James's gig Milt , I don't think the idea is that we trawl the country looking for people to get involved , more get the BC community to participate in a BC fundraiser. Having said that , the cudos of big name endorsements and big publicity is superb and money raising is the benefit it delivers , but lets try and keep it real for a while , there are lots on here who will start to take it seriously now they see what can be done , the spirit is less of one that has to be organised and more one that should develop . Now the thread is pinned (great call BTW) it might get to more eyes and hopefully more will realise that to get involved needs no more than a PM and a night out. So Roll up , no pressure to nail the numbers Ubassman just hit ( TOP respect for that one ) it just needs to be kept on the boil . But also respect to Jim , £1K is a decent number to hit so quick buddy , an inspired idea , well done ,I hope this goes on for a long time .

I was thinking more along designing the stuff into the build rather than as a bolt on. betweeen ceiling /floor joists etc and angling corners off , with my room the treatment has to look part of the room , rolls of fibreglass in the room corners just won't wash with SWMBO . I have a bit more faced internal brickwork to do first and am hoping that some of the randomness of the finish may help disperse some of the reflections

Can you build this stuff in? would plasterboarding/skimming over the stuff negate its effectiveness? I realise that Higher frequencies will bounce of hard surfaces but I was underthe impression that lower frequencies were more penetrative thus might get the treatment even if the stuff was hidden .
