[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1356910930' post='1915158'] That's what i was thinking, but i also would have no idea where to start creating a drum loop. I'll maybe just record the bass track first and see how that goes. Cheers. [/quote] you should have a click track you can use that will help . Also If you write down a rough structure of the intended song..... intro 4bars / verse 1- 4bars / chorus/ V2 .....it will give you something to refer to when your head gets stewed. The lenght of each dependant on lyrics/ grooves etc I struggled with drums until I loaded drumcore3 free , it was the only intuitive thing I have found with this recording malarkey . Its a big download but is reeeeealllyy easy to use . Anyway , Hark at me offering advice on this topic .

Cheers guys I will invest I am sure , before the due date. I cannot get my head around the midi aspects ATM , sometimes it works sometimes not , these are the type things that frustrate me the most, I know it works becuase I have done it , but there must be a command or channel or a driver or some button that needs switching. I am thinking that the world of Midi is a must with recording , so I will have to get my head around it .

I am not sure whether anyone uses this sort of stuff anymore , but I have a [url="http://www.audioreview.com/cat/digital-sources/cd-players/technics/sl-pg480a/prd_117195_1586crx.aspx"]Technics SL-PG480A [/url]going begging . It is purely a player and needs running into an amp and has Phono sockets on the rear and it comes with a remote control. It will need collecting from the Chester area first to shout BANANAS can have it Kev

Cheers Dad , your very kind , I wasn't expecting votes but having tried to lash something up for a month I just wanted to include it somewhere near the competition . I feel your pain with the process though, I was getting absolutley nowhere for ages , I took all day friday trying to mess with a drum midi and was on the verge of giving up , and thought I would try a drum loop program , and after a bit of fannying a lot of stuff just clicked . I have even just sussed out how to apply the plug ins , I have know idea what they do , but at least I am at the point where I can get started . and THAT is a miilion miles from where I was even a week ago . The reaper evaluation says I am on day 42 out of 60 , so it was getting a bit touch and go

cheers

I know I am miles to late for this, but for a laugh and just to show how good the others are you can have a listen to[url="https://soundcloud.com/#lurksalot/chrimbo-jingle"] this [/url], it might put you off though.

I recorded my first sounds yesterday , the sound of a penny dropping , stick at it , I have no finesse but I stuck something together

I am sure some have off days , but listen to the bassline on Maggie may , some say it is full of ghost notes and muted tones , to me it sounds as if it was played after a bottle of scotch

Egg Timer ? My head hurts now , The more I mess with this recording stuff, the less I seem to understand . 6 hrs today , and f*** all to show for it , mostly fannying with midi drums and not even getting as far as a simple drum pattern of any worth . One day something might click ......but that could be just the metronome , and even that seems odd at the moment

Roll up , Roll up . As above this is a great TV and will come with a digi box or will take a signal from sat box, dvd or video etc. We have inherited the MIL's plasma DVB jobby so the Sony is surplus to requirements. It IS a heavy beast and will need 2 to carry ( I can help this end) . First to shout 'AYE' secures this beauty . I am based in Chester and it will need to be collected . I would like a commitmentment by 7th January , I might be able to hold it for a little after that , but if no-one comes forward it will be junked . Many thanks , pass it on if you wish .

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1356616736' post='1911664'] Saw them do this on Graham Norton and was was well impressed. Great moves to boot. Pop is interesting again. [/quote] so did I , it took me by surprise a bit, but I really enjoyed the performance , I am still not completely sold on the song, but loved the way they did it

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1356592801' post='1911390'] I've always used these guys[url="http://shop.rothkoandfrost.co.uk/guitar-headstock-waterslide-decals-s/204.htm"] http://shop.rothkoandfrost.co.uk/guitar-headstock-waterslide-decals-s/204.htm [/url] excellent quality. I have used ebay ones but they are nowhere near as good a quality as these. [/quote] That home page of that link is firmly nailed to my favourites bar , cheers

I guess you need a bit of artwork or at least fonts, colour,spacings etc to give a printer who could do something for you , you won't get 'made in halifax' on anything nowadays for real will you Ed to add have a look [url="http://www.inlaystickers.com/servlet/the-297/Notched-Type-3-dsh-Hole-CUSTOM/Detail"]here[/url] for some interesting bits

There are bits in audacity to tell it where to look for the sound , I struggled with it for ages as it defaulted to something obscure and coulkd never remember how to sort it . good luck , I have no idea if a gt10b is up to the job either , sorry . I would love to do some recording , but the process is really starting to bug me .

The daughter bought me a new set of Rotosound Jazz bass Flats , they sound fantastic and it kind of embarasses to think of the last new set I bought The wife was banging on to all and sundry how she had paid for the new bass I have ordered, as she has settled the credit card bill ( shared user) that I used to order it with............ SOOOOOO funny when I told her that she had kindly funded the deposit , and asked when she would be paying the balance .

I use 2 ADJ DMX Par cans , LED very easy, low power , and run cool , again bounce of ceilings and walls to add more tones , with a funky lazer it works well , I would love a big light show ,but I reckon I haven't got the time to set the PA ,sort my own rig, massage the egos and run a full light show , especially when every room is as different for lighting as it is for sound .

Zafiras are well up to the job , if I haven't got the works van

I have a Legend 4 and a Euro 4 on order , I have yet to hear anyone find any real fault with Spector stuff

I looked at buying a new spector from Bass Central in Florida, But it worked out a fair bit cheaper for me to spec up and order new from Bass Direct, made in czech and it will have clocked up a heck of a lot less airmiles

[quote name='bassintheface' timestamp='1355755901' post='1902213'] No worries, gents. Will do. We're now in the midst of Christmas party hell at the Grosvenor Pulford hotel, then onto NYE at Chester Racecourse, [/quote] I used to live in Pulford and spent far to much time in the Grosvenor , but have gigged down the road in the Nags Head a few times , like the others have said, throw up some dates ,I would love to come along for a Jam

I ahven't got as far as recording or mixing as yet , but one of my favourite albums for sound and mix was always ABC Lexicon of love , I thought it was about perfect , at least on the stuff I was listening through , that was Vinyl, I got the CD but it didn't seem quite as crisp .

I love this bass line though I don't do it justice , but it's great fun to bash along with, watching the Zuma vid there are a fair few bits I am not getting quite right , mainly the bit at the start , then of course the bit after the start , the bit in the middle , after that I am fine until the bit before the end , but to tell the truth I am not sure I get the end quite right either ............ I am not at all sure I am the same in most of the songs I play ........

great thread
