Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush

I've done a search and couldn't see anything on this topic, but if this has been answered before, please feel free to point me at the relevant thread. I was wondering if anyone had developed/discovered a simple spreadsheet or website that can tell you, for given inputs of speaker size and configuration, sensitivity, resistance, etc. what the effect on volume would be of combining different speaker cabinets. I appreciate that if you have two identical cabinets then this is relatively simple, but as this may not occur often it would be useful to be able to have a ready reckoner/rule of thumb guide for doing this which would help determine whether it's worth doing. This may only be hypothetical as there are many real-world factors that could influence the results, but it would be good to have a starting point. If I understood the science I'd be happy to look into this, but this would be a far easier task for someone with more experience than me.

The amplug is a good cheap option, but I tend to practise through my computer using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2; the Solo is also a good option. You don't need any special software unless you want to record yourself and if you want to experiment with different effects before buying a pedal then you can get free DAW software and free plugins.

Sorted for E's & Wizz - Pulp

You Can Leave Your Hat On - Tom Jones

The Mirror - Dream Theater

Winds of Change - Scorpions

Dust to Dust - Misfits

Over and Over - Hot Chip

If you like the sound of the P but prefer the neck of the J it would seem like a no-brainer to put a J neck on your P; that way you get a variety of tones on different basses that feel similar to play.

So the degree of metalness is inversely proportional to the production values?

Leave Right Now - Will Young

Agreed, Bob Rock definitely nailed the best Metallica studio sound with those two albums and the newer tracks on Garage, Inc.

Even Metallica would agree with that, based on James's comment that they whipped some meh songs into shape on those albums.

Presumably because if you buy a physical track/album through BC you get access to the download as well?

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - The Proclaimers

I very rarely buy CDs but am happy to buy digital downloads if I would have bought it on CD in the olden days, either from Bandcamp for preference or from Amazon if BC isn't an option. It's sad that people either can't afford or aren't prepared to put their hands in their pockets any more beyond a monthly streaming subscription.

Sounds like they put Hit The Lights in a blender with Mercyful Fate and Diamond Head's back catalogues and this is the result.

Worthless - Bullet For My Valentine

I can only recommend my old luthier Julyan Wallace in Penzance, currently off of BBC One's The Repair Shop (I knew him before he was TV famous though). Definitely worth a trip to Cornwall for, I reckon.

Saturday's gig was cancelled. Something about our singer having a "sore throat" or some other nonsense. Ah well, better to have a break than look like a bunch of numpties, as our backup singer was also struggling, and my singing voice is probably accurately described as "untested" and "only fit for singing in the car". I did suggest an instrumental set but that didn't go down well...

Ah, go on. Go on. Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on...
