brilliant, thank you. Can you blend the signal so more bass with just a hint of organ/keys background?

So we do this shine on you crazy diamond/Floyd thing as well as some other proggy stuff in our set (Hocus Pocus for instance). I'd love a keys player but as that isn't going to happen any time soon I was considering using one of the above pedals to add a little organ blend. Anyone been down this road with either the C9 or B9 and if so, did it work? I know they are really designed for geetar but I've seen a couple of (dodgy) YouTube demos on bass. They're pretty pricey even used so I'd like a bit of feedback before biting the bullet. Thanks!

Rock n Roll! Seriously though, I'd tell them its not unreasonable to hold a 3 hour rehearsal once every three weeks at low volume and a 3 minute walk away from the main house! But as a courtesy we will inform you as and when that will be, so you can make suitable arrangements.

without wanting to sound sarcy (failed) I think your real problem is ProTools!

very happy with my Laney Digbeth £125 new, XLR out with FET and TUBE options https://www.gak.co.uk/en/laney-db-pre-digbeth-bass-preamp-pedal?gclid=Cj0KCQjwuaiXBhCCARIsAKZLt3lnghnTNl-6y6CHmY-iXXYm-0CYKg3b6g_9LZIHsOfw-ger-2lVessaAhhFEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Sounds a bit knackered to me! I use a zoom H2n and a q2n with my loud rock band (marshall 412, ampeg stack etc) and it only distorts if the gain input is set to auto or over half way. I usually set it about 3 out of 10 and its good to go. Any chance you could borrow something similar to test it against?

surely if the gain is set really low, like -12dB its not going to distort? Always easier to bump up a quiet signal than try and work with a distorted too loud one?

my latest setup.

£400 would get you a decent used iMac, great screen, decent power and holds its value https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/593456492157894?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A018f4900-df4e-43b5-9057-7c1678214c22

Zooms have good audio but IMO terrible video. The Chinese GoPro copies tend to (again IMO) do the opposite, good video but awful sound Never used a proper GoPro so couldn't comment on the sound quality. I sometimes use a canon 5D DSLR, amazing video and not actually bad sound (not as good as the zoom though) Everything is a compromise between audio and video. I've yet to find or afford an all in one solution. So for now, videos are recorded with cheap Chinese goPros (as Silvia mentioned, using a DSLR as well really shows up the difference against these GoPro copies so I tend not to use the canon these days) As for sound, we use a combination of stems from our new zoom livetrack L-20 (highly recommended by the way, preamps are fab) and a tiny smattering of a zoom Q2n for a little ambient crowd noise. The livetrack stems get mixed in Reaper as does the Video, so it's all relatively easy to edit in one DAW. No transferring to DaVinci resolve for example. I'll mix the stems first in reaper and render down to a master track. I've used up to 4 different cameras in some edits, running in multiple timelines along with the mastered audio, all in Reaper. Nothing fancy, just cuts between each camera. sorry....what was the original post? Went off on a bit of a ramble there! Ah yes camera for headstock with good audio and sound? Probably best to try and borrow a proper GoPro. I believe the battery may be good for 2.5 hours and the sound may be ok? What about a high end mobile phone? I imagine the recorded sound and video on an Iphone 13 would be pretty decent?

I have the Laney Digbeth. I like it. very quiet in the chain, does a nice tube gain. single mosfet or tube or blend them together if desired. XLR out to the desk. Tone Blend knob works really well, lots of options. solid as a brick Its replaced my DHA VT-EQ2 so it can't be bad. I also use a TU 3 tuner at the start of the chain for buffering.

lovely tone (and playing_)

elixir rool...

does the XR 18 have the ability to record direct to an SD card or memory stick? We had one years ago so I can't remember. We now use the Zoom L20 and that lets you record 20 separate tracks straight to SD or memory stick in the desk or via cable to your DAW.

Had the standard, liked it but sold it as I never used it gigging. Toneprint variations were pretty wide and interesting. Tracked well on my passive jazz. Now I have a zoom B1Four, small footprint and loads of other effects besides an Octaver.

pedalboard and IEM's at those size venues.

ah ok, weirdly I just bought a mic mechanic too!

I bought one for my son as he's into electronica, DJ'ing, dance music etc. I had no idea of all its capabilities! I may have to "borrow" it when he comes home next week

not yet but I've only had mine a couple of weeks and I run it off a power brick. Why do you want to use batteries? Any advantages?

what happens if your laptop crashes or the battery runs out? wouldn't the whole band be compromised?

Rectal smegma and Brutal sphincter would be on my must see list...

I got my lad the Arturia minilab. I know you don't want small keys but I believe they do larger ones as well. Apparently the keys action is better on the Arturia range ( so i saw on Youtube FWIW) He's blown away with it (he's into electronica and dance music and studying a degree in MT at Bristol uni) I gave him my old M Audio controllers and the the new Arturia and Novation stuff blows that out of the water Do any of the new controllers still have MIDI DIN? https://www.arturia.com/products#hybrid-synths

when i saw your budget, the Kali LP6's were the first thing i also thought of..
