  1. Well, it was his car and he was driving [1] so he didn't get any complaints. [1] although I'd promised to share the driving I fell asleep
  2. did my friend win?
  3. Oh yes! On 15th April, 2003 I had no voice as I'd screamed so much at the Duran Duran reunion tour at Wembley the night before! We had the strangest drive home too - heavy fog on the way back to Devon, and my friend who was driving played Kraftwerk all the way.
  4. I'm going with "The Switchblade Dog Experience" 👍
  5. No longer listed on ebay!
  6. I started with Garageband and a little Berhringer 4-channel mixer with USB. A cheap way to get into digital music, though I found Garage Band a slippery slope to Logic Pro. Reaper seems pretty good though - we have to use it next year at uni so I've been starting to use it.
  7. The walls in my practice room are painted Harp Strings. The woodwork is Inky Prose.
  8. I visited a recording studio last week to help a friend out. I was meant to just be playing mandolin and accordion, but as his band was 'between bass players' at the time I was asked to dep on bass guitar too...

  9. Hmmm... 🤔 However, this one isn't bad...
  10. I would robustly disagree with "musical genius"! You're right though that the skills from viola & mandolin have the possibility to combine to make for a really good start on violin. But I have two reasons for getting a teacher - I'm hoping a teacher will help address issues quickly and speed up my progress, especially as our band has some summer gigs that I think would benefit from some fiddle-playing. Also, I've been convinced that folk is better learned by ear from a folk musician rather than from reading dots. My teacher does 1-1 lessons but also hosts group Zoom lessons, which is a nice way to learn and I expect after a few months I'll just do the Zoom sessions.
  11. Yes, this is the route I'm going - practice and ear training. I have a teacher lined up - she does 1:1 lessons and also does group Zoom lessons. First one 5.30 this evening!
  12. I took part in my first professional recording sessionthis morning! Due to recent band changes I ended up laying down bass guyitar, octave mandolin and piano accordion. Just to keep me on my toes, the song was in the key of D♭, OK on bass and mando but a pain in the proverbial on accordion. But it was a lot of fun being in a professional studio and seeing how things worked - very different to recording stuff at home with my Zoom recorder!
  13. It is! I had anaphylaxis and had an ambulance etc. last year, a few weeks before I had to record my end of year project for uni. Flex pitch saved the day when my voice wasn't 100% recovered. It also helped fix slight pitch issues for a multi-tracked 4-part recorder piece. I did admit this in my [write] up.
  14. My modest rig - Orange 25B practice amp and Squier fretless jazz. I didn't think I needed anything else, then I saw @Yorkshire Bottom End's Trace Elliot cabinets... 🙄
  15. I love the look of those 110 TE cabinets!
