Thank you. It will be one, maybe 2 max, zoom H2n's with the audio input from only one of the cameras positioned 30 feet centre from front of stage. I may give it a go tomorrow night at band rehearsal. We have plenty of lighting and the zooms have several settings to compensate for low level lighting. As much as I'd love to take a desk mix it's just not practical so that's why I choose the zooms as their audio mic inputs aren't too bad even if the video is nothing special. I just need to find the correct input levels on the zooms so not too quiet or distorted loud.

Wow! Thank you for the advice. You obviously have approached this from a really pro angle. My problem is (as usual) I'll be sorting out the sound and PA, the lights and now possibly the streaming/recording angle as well as actually playing the bloody bass whilst the guitarist and singer just unwind a couple of leads and look for someone to buy them a pint (I exaggerate otherwise I'd not put up with it for 11 years). I think the best I could hope for at the moment is a couple of zoom Q2n cameras hooked up to a laptop with OBS set to auto scene change every few seconds. Hopefully the sound would be better than a mobile phone and ok for the local boozer pub venue. But you think I should connect directly to the router rather than rely on wiFi? What social media platforms would be best for broadcasting? I've heard a rumour that Facebook will mute anybody playing what they perceive to be copyright issue covers? Not sure if that's Bullsh*t but I heard it today.

If this is in the wrong forum, apologies. I've been messing about with a few cameras, a laptop and OBS studio, managed to livestream my ugly mug on Facebook live for a few minutes with 3 different angles much to the amusement of a couple of FB pals. Now the question is, has anyone actually manged to livestream a gig on FB or YouTube or some other platform from a venue? (ie the Dog n Duck in our case). Obviously you'll need a Wi-Fi connection (from the pub I guess) . I'm just fantasising over the idea of livestreaming some gigs to all 3 of our followers and somehow monetising it. Never gonna happen right? Just interested if anyone does this and the easiest way to go about it.

I've got that ToneLib GFX, its amazing for a freebie. I've even used some of the amp sims on vocals to surprising good effect.

wow its great and comes with pedals, a looper and drum grooves..brilliant thanks

Bruno (very first bass player) lives down my way, plays bass for a covers band called The cadence, bloody good they are too and he is an awesome player. He has a lovely old 62 Jazz he painted black and plays through an old Peavey TNT but somehow manages to sound incredible. Must be in the fingers like they say..

Reminds me of a time we agreed to do a charity event for "exposure" (drummers idea). We followed on from the kiddies Balloon Man, he went down better than us, and I killed up my valve rig from the generator. Cue £450 re valve and repair bill. Never again!

Another vote for the MB CMD 121H I've been using this for the last 2 years (over my Ampeg rig) and it holds up well against a loud mic'd up drummer and a 100W Marshall and 410. Everything is Di'd to the PA but it's certainly loud enough for onstage monitoring. AND it's seriously light at 16Kg

we play at least 2 Whitesnake numbers in the set, with a female singer. Pretty sure Mr Coverdale is/was taking the p1ss and even is he wasn't I'm pretty confident his dodgy old 70's Carry-On lyrics aren't going to suddenly misogynize our blue rinse punters too much. It's all fair in Love & War down the Dog 'n Duck...on a Saturday (before the last 11pm bus)

zoom B3n..probably...

😂

It's hard to do an encore when the landlords put the Telly back on, switched up all the lights and put some hip hop back on the radio.

I think it's more to do with people desperate to hear live music than some sudden new found fans

They can F*&k^%g have 'em!!!

Thanks Phil. Our first gig is tomorrow, table bookings and..it's sold out! 100 people inside and loads more outside and at our last rehearsal on Wednesday I forgot whole sections of our 20 minute medley from hell, so no pressure!

Good Times Bad Times, by Zep. That little bass run used to be a major sweaty lip moment as I was on my own. It's ok now but there's a few other tricky bits in it that made me dread it coming up even though I love the song.

gotta love a committed skin beater

I know he pretty much divides opinion on here but I think this is a really fantastic bit of melodic and tasteful playing (well perhaps before the slapfest starts) There's also a useful link to the Interactive TAB below the video if anyone fancies learning it (it's hard btw). I'm going to have a go although the slap is well beyond my ability. actually starts at 1:07 https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/davie504/s-l-a-p-p-guitar-pro-3445838
