[quote name='gjones' post='1332504' date='Aug 8 2011, 06:20 PM']That variax sounds good too.[/quote] Agree incredible system, perfect for a covers band like ours. Pete our guitarist/sax player uses it to the max, from 6 & 12 string acoustic, banjo, Les Paul, Strat, Tele etc etc he uses the lot. He has the Line6 combo and pedalboard too and can dial in virtually any amp/speaker combo he wants. It's a stunning system IMO and very underrated by some guitarists who I have spoken to, Bobby our other guitarist is much more traditional and would never use that technology - horses for courses etc : D

I monitor with one ear IEM with my bass and vocal through plus a smidge of the other vox and we send a return signal into a Line6 8'' combo to give a little onstage bass for ambience. I use my free ear to monitor the band, they all use IEM's so have their own mix, so no need for a big rig. Been there and done that, but I can honestly say I could never go back to humping a big rig, I have a mint bass sound in my right ear every night! What you hear is the Warwick Thumb and my fingers

He also has footage of local kid called Mickey Crystal - what a great name! - in a now defunct band called The Fishburn Mafia, stunning guitarist IMO

[quote name='Sibob' post='1317851' date='Jul 27 2011, 12:29 AM']Sounds fantastic! Kudos My only little tiny criticism would be that the Warwick sounds a bit modern for the songs you're playing, but hey, whatever you wanna play huh Si[/quote] Cheers SiBob! Been after that sound for yonks man - behave!

Another vid from the same night as Wayward Son from Berniewd40 - always loved this bassline [url="http://vimeo.com/26903699"]Hotel California by The Dusty Tools[/url]

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1315891' date='Jul 25 2011, 04:15 PM']...oh, and a couple of ambient mics for the crowd, too! A band I was in did a live album once, but the ambient mics for the room didn't work. So, although the punters went mental after every song, the finished mix sounds like we're playing to a crowd of three. ha ha.[/quote] Haha! Nice one WOT! Good point We've got ambient mics pencilled in for next time, otherwise it sounds like just the familly have turned out We also have an offer from a mate to do a three camera shoot with editing software so could get some canny results in future. Bernie loves to capture live bands and this is probably his most succesful result so far marrying vid and audio, although he does get some good results from a special mic he uses, the sound from the desk option means he can get different angles with uniform sound wherever he is in the room. I saw some very good footage of you with the Peter Donegan band at The Newcastle City Hall a while back, wondered who did that?

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1315227' date='Jul 24 2011, 10:07 PM']Great stuff! I've posted a positive comment on youtube for that performance.[/quote] Cheers for that We sent the sound straight out from the mixing desk wirelessly into his camera - it was a trial run that night - and as we now know it works, it means he can video from anywhere in the room without any variation in sound. He records in full HD and one of my mates has viewed it on a 50'' 1080 TV and listened through headphones and says it's like being at a gig Early days but we'll be trying again in the coming weeks to improve the visual aspect, the place was so busy he had to squeeze in at the front

This was shot two nights ago on Friday 23rd July by local enthuiastic amateur Bernie in one of our local pubs in Sunderland, despite him being up close to us it's turned out quite well.
