I dont know the detail , but maybe one set of headphones is more efficient than the other , and I would reckon the active headphone amp would be exactly the way to go . that way each signal can be set to the required level independant of the other

I think you've rooted around for enough puns now , leaf it out

To be fair , nothing exposes your ability as much as when you record it and play it back , vocals especially , though it can really help to hone playing skills as well .

Singing in tune and having a good singing tone are my problem. I can record a dozen takes and while it might eventually be pretty much in tune , tonally, it justs sucks. I can't do much about that , and sometimes it really racks me off.

Its a bit of a rush all of a sudden So all for one and all that, mine is up as well now , this kind of worked out really in the style intended would you believe , no chainsaws mind , it probably needed some , only from the first bar to the last though Enjoy https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/jack-the-lad

Cheers guys , it sounds like a no brainer , off to find my wallet .

I have just had a few emails from toontrack about upgrading to EZ Drummer2 , I think I will have to pull the trigger in the next day or so

We are on it !! May I say a quick thanks to all those who took the time to vote this month , 21 voters means that overall, a significant effort was put in to listen and choose 3 tracks, your support is really appreciated.

OK , I'm getting a feeling , earthiness, nature, history, old tales in the telling .............and chainsaws So a folk based ballad on the destructive nature of modern machinery then As is the norm , please don't expect the finished article to be anything like the initial idea was supposed to be , but yes , I am beginning the beginning

Well done Jellyknees , well deserved dude , the entire Basschat community is now awake and hovering eagerly over your choice of photo for this month

Best wishes Pete , I hope it all gets better for you and welcome back

The necks are a slightly different thickness as well with the legend bolt ons slightly thinner , there is not much in it but it's there

I hope that at least some of you may be inspired to give the pieces a listen, and perhaps vote for your 3 favourites.

[/font][/color] [/quote] Douglas , the picture inspired me to write a tune about where my daughter went to in her head , to hear you describe it as such is perfect , thank you so much , while the tune might not be be the daughters idea of her own mind , If i could wish 'cheery and guaranteed to bring on a smile' to her own psyche , that would be it, you understand this music stuff don't you

I think everything entered was a great interpretation I really enjoyed the listen through , I had been listening as they were posted and really liked the ones I liked from the outset , great stuff all

I will have to find out more. Thanks [/quote] I fear there is not too much to find , one album and a couple of recently found tracks , but I like it

Elyse Weinberg , a strange folky kind of offering that i got from my sisters collection on the basis that she never heard it again I think it is superb

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1445637615' post='2893113'] I'm in this month. A slightly longer than I usually submit but it felt right so I let it run. It's missing a riff or something but I've no more time over the next two days so this is it. That said I like it so I hope others do as well. I imagined the guy in the picture as a saviour of the depressed who would spread colour in people's lives but only if they wanted it..... https://m.soundcloud.com/theboysings/these-colours-are-for-you [/quote] I only managed to listen on my phone , but the boy can most definitely sing , great work , I played out loud , and as we had been listening to radio 1 on the phone , Lurksalittle was quite amazed when I told her that this was a song in our little competition , and not on radio 1

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1445676417' post='2893249'] Of course I'm right. The only time I'm not right is when I try to tell the wife I'm right! [/quote] Wow , that makes 2 of us then

Thanks for the heads up on that, I don't think I am anywhere near it ,but the lad does a lot of video editing so might fancy a go at this.

with halloween coming up we have been jamming out ghostbusters , great fun , it doesn't do much, but funks along quite nicely

A bizarre twist to our gig last night, the room had been split by some dividing doors since our last visit. we effectively had the band set up in one room and the PA front of house in another, it was like we were on the inside of a TV screen playing out to the room , it was noisy in our box though, one advantage was that we had plenty of space so setup and breaking down was really quick as we all had room without the normal falling over each other. Not a massive audience , but very enthusiastic , the brother-in-law is over from living abroad for a fortnight and got to see us for the first time in 2 years , so he was chuffed as well . in general a good night .

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1444753707' post='2885640'] I've rolled mine in 3 different colours of glitter, added an antique wax finish and coated it in diamond-hard varnish. Enjoy! (or not!) http://soundcloud.com/dredd-and-the-badass-weed/say-what [/quote] That is fantastic , love it to pieces , and at 4.51 it still feels a bit short !!

do you have to put all the files that come with the VST in that path or just the .dll file ? Mine all seem to work , but I rather think that it is more likely down to luck than judgement and the fact I have copied and pasted the files everywhere I can I fear if I clean up the install of them, I will lose half of my tracks

We played a pub in town last night and it was quite busy ,we knock out roadhouse blues for a sound check as it is dead easy to jam out and set the levels to , and we got some great applause . Rhythm guitar gets up to the mic when we open and says 'right then , we always have a proper party when we play here and tonight is going to be no different ......OK ' and a big cheer went up ..........we had a good night a proper party

One of the reasons I don't use to much VST stuff is that I can never remember how to bring them in , I have a rough idea that there is a place that you put the downloaded file , then Reaper scans the place and recognises it , but it takes me half an hour each time I do it
