Started experiencing a strange issue with my Boss LS-2. I have historically used this in the A/B mode to switch between presets and back quickly. No problems here. Recently I've been using it more as a parallel splitter in A+B mix mode, however I have noticed some strange shifts in tone and volume. I would assume that in A+B mix mode yo would hear all of the A sound and all of the B sound and then adjust volume to taste... However, if you have it in A/B then turn to A+B mix, you can hear a noticeable drop in volume of both channels. In fact if you turn the B volume to Zero and flick between the 2 settings, this should surely make no difference to the sound at all, but there is a volume drop out. There also seem to a be a slight loss of clarity - minor, and maybe just due to the volume drop, but the over tone in mix mode seems to be a little more undefined. Anyone else use the LS-2 much and experienced similar? If I was just using one mode it wouldn't be a huge issue, but as I switch between setting during a gig the shifts in volume become a slight issue.

A Basschat double bill… In Bolton Dan_Owens and the Broken Door are putting on a show, Friday 30th @ The Dog & Partridge/Bolton Live and my 2-piece D&B act, Our Helical Mind will be supporting. We're bringing a long a couple of awesome MC's (Duke01 & Karizma) as well for a surprise set. Be there!!

OK guys, odd request here... Any of you fine folks from, or around the Bristol area? I have a bass I would like to get from the bash on Saturday to a fellow Basschatter in Bristol and they can't make it to the bash due to having a gig. It'd just be a case of taking it home and they'd collect from you… I'll happily buy you a pint and a curly whirly for your time Shep

Certainly going to be 'interesting'! I tend to run the ring mod after LPF - seems to be against what most folk do, but it works for me!

No, one of the slicer patterns is a deep tremolo with those beeps added up top. Its the only pattern that has anything like that in it. That track is bass - Phaser - Chorus - amp (distortion added on one section) and then the slicer added to that intro groove. Basically its a modulation nightmare where the waveform is concerned. Most slicer patterns are designed to run at 120bpm and above and slowing them down makes them all sound a bit similar, however the odd one sounds rather interesting when you slow it down… Like that one!

I really like that pingy blippy sound on Barcode Babble, how do you get that? [/quote] Cheers dude. Only BigDug is traditionally in 'our' style, although The Threat Of Reason is a very very different track with regards to feel if you take the vocals off. Heres a link to the instrumental version - http://soundcloud.com/ourhelicalmind/the-threat-of-reason-1 As for Barcode Babble - Thats all Boss Slicer over that section (Bank 3, preset 6, running at 80bpm).

Hope you like it dude

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1316507309' post='1378822'] My guess would be that it sounds OK? [/quote] Oh Dear lol I've not heard or seen any samples of it on bass either so I'm interested too...

It's here folks... [url="http://ourhelicalmind.bandcamp.com/album/analogftw"]http://ourhelicalmin...album/analogftw[/url] Hope you like. Anyone interested in the instrumentals of the tracks with vocals, drop me a PM. I'm particularly happy with 'The Threat Of Reason'

I use George L's bud, cable and connectors. Fantastic stuff.

Someone will be on it as soon as possible. There's loads going on behind the scenes at the mo... We're running out of coal to keep the engine going We'll get all the bugs sorted over the next day or so.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316460848' post='1378374'] I'm sure, if this was a serious proposal, we'd all be willing. [/quote] I agree...

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316458152' post='1378299'] If everyone on BC donated a pound we would have everything everyone wants! [/quote] A Pound!!!!

ped, if we have a whip 'round, I'm sure we can all put at least £3.17 towards it for you. If we have a dig in dood's perm we might find a few extra pennies too

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1316453248' post='1378209'] I'm not sure there was so much white space..? [/quote] There was more grey and less white - But still the same amount of 'space'

Damn! How did I miss that!! You should see my signature - It's full of HTML code!

[quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1316441044' post='1378016'] thanks for that...obvious really....doh! What about the links thingy? cant title them like we use too? [/quote] I never knew you could title them! - I've always used the HTML code. Was I missing something horridly obvious!?

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316437503' post='1377951'] Wah I can keep up with all the emails. (not complaining just saying like) [/quote] Check your settings - ALL of mine had defaulted to on so I was getting emails for stuff I had never been notified about before. Changed some account settings and it's all as it was again now.

Cheers guys. I'm really excited about. Was amazing to get Dwyz on the mic as well as he tends to stick to decks, producing and making music vids these days... But he is an amazing MC. Loads of Moogerfooger action in everytrack and some crushing parallel splitting sub and Dubstep wobble to be heard We did it all live again as well with little after editing (other than the vocals). All the bass was played live and the drums only had 2 snare strikes we did anything with (a nice delay). Keeping analog alive!

Just got home from the final mix and mastering of our new EP. It's been a lot of hard work, but I think we've managed to create something varied, current and commercial enough to appeal to a few audiences. Got to road test the mix on a few stereos over the next day or so just to make sure a wider spectrum of speakers agree with the mix, then it'll be there for all to hear Some awesome vocal talent on this one as well (Duke01 & dWyZaK tHe ElEvAtOr) which really brings some of the new material to life. Excited and really quite proud!

[/quote] Well last night I was getting a very limited mobile site. Today I'm getting the 'Board Offline' page on my iphone, despite refreshing, deleting cookies, clearing the cache etc all I get is the offline page on the old layout format... odd. I'm posting here on my Mac so it's clearly not offline!
