The king of the sit and simmer groove. Loosely assemble approximately the right amount of ingredients, stick it all on one pot and leave it on a low to medium heat stirring ever so occasionally. Result, brilliance.

Done 3 weddings and a week long run for a theatre gig. 3 more weddings and a theatre showcase in the next month. The show was a risk but the audience reception on the final night was ecstatic, a culmination of a good show as per normal plus the tension breaking of no pingdemic, no more rescheduling and a full house. Not sure if it’s 100% safe or ethical but it felt very, very good.

True, but he’s still ahead of his drummer in places. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but if he’d have been playing for the MD I had this week he’d have got the stink stare (having had it myself for similar misdemeanours! 🤦😉🤟)

How loud do you need to be? What are you prepared to carry/ transport? Does the manufacturer have a reputation for a baked in sound? What does it look like? If it looks like a Halfords bass bin for a Vauxhall Corsa I’m out!

Incredible how unremarkable it is in isolation. Some of it is even slightly scruffy- the first prechorus for example but…. The other version with the bass and drums is a different story, for some reason it’s a powerhouse, even though you can hear JD frequently rushing onto beat 2 compared to the drums. Music’s a funny old thing.

My apologies that didn’t translate in text- my wife has started to have issues with it and is very upset about it despite it being mild. I didn’t mean to suggest you were, but it sounds like you’ll be able to tune it out well enough.

Another long term sufferer here, (hear?) Totally agree about all the above advice but would also recommend not freaking out about it. You can learn to dial it out, focus on other things, essentially forget you’ve got it- whilst of course doing everything you can to protect yourself from further damage.

Use an extension cab placed by the drummer?

Thank you mods for everything you do.

Mrs Scalpy is one of the singers in the band, does all the admin and promo and we balance my appetite for basses and all gizmos musical with her appetite for stage dresses.

My markbass lmt500 has loads of features but the most useful has been the really good sounding di with knob to adjust the level on the front. It’s got me out of a hole many many times, whether live or recording.

Full marks sir.

Thank you, looking forward to watching that.

Well, that is one scary band. You'll be busy!

Louis Dowdeswell on Trumpet? If so... congrats!

The volume.

Great job!

Just listened to this- fantastic Sunday morning music! Fascinating to see Pino play in so much detail and whoever engineered it deserves a medal.

Thank you- that video hasn’t worked for me, we’re using the producer version of the x32 and I can’t replicate some of the steps, my ineptitude of course.

Excellent. The desk lives at the rehearsal studio so I shall try that out ASAP. Most appreciated. Harry

That’s very kind thank you. I’ve got one reverb going to the monitors, just to entirely sure how!

Always loved Seal’s voice but hearing the soloed tracks was great. Presumably Horn on bass as well, whoever it was has class.

Hi all, some help with the behringer x32 producer desk please! I’m no sound engineer so bear with me here. Our singer has splashed out on one of these desks for our 8 piece band as he’s desperate to use in-ears. However he’s left it to me to learn how to do it. I’ve managed to set up linked sends for stereo in ear mixes, and can get FX to the front of house. I can do dry monitor mixes on the various sends but….. When I send reverb to the monitors it gets applied to all the instruments in that mix. I’d like to be able to send reverb on the vocals only without adding it to the drums and keys for example. Any YouTube videos I’ve watched on the matter either seem to be wrong (checking the comments) or like trying to fly the starship enterprise. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you Harry

Played last night, wedding with 30 guests. New members in the band, new sound guy, new songs in the set, so bit of a risk but it was so enjoyable to be playing and the happy couple partied hard.

That’s a great shout! Thank you
