    Even if your FIRST recordings sound arse . , I think I am just past 30 now and 'arse' describes them well Good on you Bob , ask plenty of questions as you go , and the answers might teach [b]me[/b] something

    it sounds like a global setting type issue if they are all doing it , I don't know cubase either , I don't even know Reaper really It might not be relevant but I always leave a bar or two at the start so I get the chance to hit record and then get my fingers in the right place to make the first noise

    Mine has taken a left field approach but awaits a few more samples , mainly vocals , but Lurksalittle is being a touch backward in coming forward on this one

    Denim was so last years quo jeans yes, but very plain T, or plain shirt over the top if anything and that's it , he is , though we all wear jeans , mostly.

    [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1425581718' post='2708852'] My lightly worn undergarments can be obtained for the Yen equivalent of £5 from a number of vending machines in Tokyo. [/quote] Or from Father Bradley on Ebay

    [quote name='KeithKelly30' timestamp='1425327913' post='2706279'] Thanks a million Discreet and Grangur. Knowing what I'm talking about might be a bit of an over statement Grangur, more I like to think I know what I'm talking about lol! I'm a good bluffer �� [/quote] you will always find someone who knows better , but that's all part of the craic on here welcome , Oh and I know nothing .......................... though I am not from Barcelona

    Jonesthebass nailed it earlier , and bar that , it is too late to worry about anything else , the preparation should all have been done by now as it is the playing that will count. Making the sounds should be second nature , everything else is being looked after. play as the songs demand , smile or be angry, whichever , but acting the song out and feeling it will come across in the recording for the better .

    [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1425369554' post='2706514'] We do all wear black shirts if it's a classy gig but this was just a more laid back local pub gig - I need to go get myself one of those sh*te shirts for casual occasions [/quote] not that you can see it much , but in my current avatar you see the shoulder of a particularily well named sh*teshirt . though for modesty and family parties I do rebadge the shirts ( I have 2 ) Rhythm and drums have suitable lairy shirts when needed , singist really can't get past subtle shirts , though he thinks they are loud , and lead guitar won't dress far from the status quo

    I won't listen yet Dad, especially as it appears to be a similar route mine has taken I am sure it is quality as usual , after all, you took your time with this one

    I thought singing was physically hard work , well it always looks that way after one of our gigs
  13. lurksalot
    DOH , I did mean to mention that , yes, I think it worked well , it helped me whittle down my choices easier , well , down from 11 to 10 , (but don't tell Mr Smalls)

    Well , it got warm enough in the garage , but then it got cold again and as I have things to sort in there, these have to go , the cabs will get broken up I am fairly sure , but the drivers are available. Don't forget they are low mileage[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] 12 inch Precision Devices drivers ( info here [/font][/color][url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/precision_devices_pd12sb30.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...es_pd12sb30.htm[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] ) ,[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]so I guess offers are invited , I am sure that I would find a use for them , but if they are not sold in a year and a halfs time , I might put them on ebay , so dive in quick while you have the chance.

    [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1425216775' post='2705114'] I've already got an improvised bass line down, as well as a drummer falling down the stairs. Now I'm off to record some chickens. [/quote] I saw the picture and thought straight away it would be right up your street, I have a couple of ideas , but the genre to do it in escapes me , However , as per usual I may start off with an intent to do a rock number and it wanders of into a gregorian chant instead

    Great gig tonight, to a full pub, an old haunt of mine from years ago in the middle of town , we played a 50 minute first set with a bit of improv as we had them dancing from the second song so we adjusted to jam a couple of daft ones , it worked well . the first set was over by 10.20 and the LL suggested going back on at 11ish but we don't like the hanging around , if we are there we may as well play, so we were back on it at 10.40 and nailed it till midnight with everyone bouncing nearly all the way through. blooded 2 new ones , Boys are back in town and Dont stop beleiving , they both worked a treat even if they could do with a couple more run throughs . Sound wise we still have a bit of a loudness war with lead guitar , and while it was far too loud on stage , reports from the rear of the pub was it was a great sound overall , so hey , maybe he is right , but I still think it is too loud

    Yes congratulations Bleat , you got one of my votes aswell , the bar has definitely been raised again , well done to everyone who entered and a big thanks to those who took the time to listen, vote and contribute in the thread. I know February is technically a short month , but getting an entry done early for the challenge really makes the month seem a long one

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1424940497' post='2702070'] I have heard of this very rare condition but a little further research reveals that it is easily rectified. For Gods sake man, pull yourself together and don't let any of our wives/girlfriends/partners know that this condition exists.

    Quality response to a great idea

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1424890781' post='2701652'] I think so. Aren't we supposed to see a correlation between the composition and the image? [/quote] I guess that is up to you , but I always look for one , especially as the image is the inspiration for the piece , but then interpretation of that is totally subjective.

    I am really lucky , I get on well with our drummer and we seem to work well together . Rhythm guitar went to help out a mate of his who has a band that has been together for a year, they just wanted a few polishing tips, he took his axe with him and jammed a few songs. At rehearsal the other night he made a comment about how chuffed he is that we are such a tight outfit . Me and the drummist smiled and nodded at each other
  22. lurksalot
    well done indeed my friend , a great achievement
  23. lurksalot
    Many thanks Dad
