this..

is that where Laney are based?

I find it perfect for matching multiple cameras to audio very quickly. Its far more intuitive than say DaVinci resolve which I use for colour correction (if needed).

The video editing option in Reaper (as basic as it is although actually it really isn't) was what for me makes it the best vcalue out there. Plus the stock plugins are fine and the free JS plugins (which run into the hundreds) are excellent, and look better. Plus it runs on a fart and any old laptop or PC or 15 year old mac will run it beautifully, couldn't say the same for Logic X.

I had the markbass compressore (had a valve), TBH couldn't tell the difference between that and a few regular compressors I've had over the years, but hey thats's compressors for you. Never really understood them and again TBH I sometimes use them and sometimes don't and never notice much improvement in my sound.

It won't be me! Straight into the SSL desk! https://www.arefriendselectric.studio/

Whats everyone take on playing to a click track? At our last studio visit the engineer rather wished he had played to a click to make his life a little easier when overdubbing vocals ( I think thats what he said but I could be mistaken) We are due in next week and our guitarist doesn't want to do click as he says it'll take too long. We intend to only record one song for the day, like last time. we have recorded a whole album over 2 weekdns which we weren't particularly happy with as it sounds a bit rushed and under produced.

Headlining? travelling? Supplying own PA? I.d be asking a grand.

when the speaker stand from your PA falls on someones head then yes you will need it.

Lol, we did a gig like that last year. A social club with about 10 disinterested punters. At least you finished your sets, we got asked to pack up after the first set so they could put the jukebox on! Soul destroying...

not sure how the signal would be picked up from the bass to your DAW without a preamp?

So we are thinking of doing another run of 100 T shirts as we sold out the last lot. Colour design, complicated, I like the look of them, we are lucky that a pal is a graphic designer. So who uses who for their band Merch? Looking for the best bang for buck if possible, all suggestions most welcome, Thanks!

anyone tried one of these? https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_tb_70_sbk_deluxe_series.htm

These have probably saved my hearing...£60 quid used them tonight and they were fab. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BY6MH97W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

I've got a VT2-EQ thingy. Its a beast of a pedal with 2 x 12ax7 valves. I loved using it but it was a bit noisy and the power socket is a bit loose so until I get it repaired it's out of use. Dave made some great pedals, very sad he passed away.

Think I may have finally found a permenant set up (or at least for a good while) No rig, all into the deski via pedalboard (Laney Digbeth and zoom B1 four) and then back from the desk into a KT platform and IEM's custom Jazz with sadowsky pickups and D'addario heavy guage flats seems to complete the picture.

Insure4music £57 thanks guys.

Our ampband PLI renewal has come around again and gone up from £55 to £77. Not too enthusiastic about that. Any other companies offering similar for less? ps I’m not interested in joining the MU as it’s for the whole band and it’s pub gigs thanks

we have used it for years. Got lots of gigs from it, even now. 1 gig from it pays for 7 or 8 years of membership. Miss the community forum but I think it got a bit ugly in the end and had to be moderated too much. TBH it also works as a diary for the upcoming gigs as much as anything and as a resource for who is playing where and nicking some slots its great!

another Lekato user here, so far, 3 gigs in its been great and saved my hearing,,

I fancy another set of elixir nanowebs but man they are pricey! Does anyone use another slightly less expensive set of coated strings they could recommend? Looking for zing and longevtivity. cheers!

very Beck, I like it!
