    No i meant you might find my bits useful, its beyond repair.

    New Native Instruments Double Bass

    Did you find it close? I must admit I still turn to it - perhaps it's my playing, but it does sound like me!

    I'll post a picture of what I have and you can see what I have done to it!

    Recording Band Live Sound with Allen & Heath Mixer

    I hate the half pushed in solution, so damn unreliable if you stand any risk of knocking them. I'm actually in oulton broad, so could knock up a set for you - just let me know.

    Scarlett/Audacity clipping issue

    If you've managed to get USB into the closet, and your interface works fine, then maybe a streamdeck to operate the DAW functions would work too?

    Recording Band Live Sound with Allen & Heath Mixer

    First question is to ask if you actually use the inserts for anything. If you don't, then it's very easy. The insert jack plug, when inserted uses the tip and ring connection to get audio out, processes it then stuffs it back on the other connection - a straight out and then in. You just make up...

    AM Radio Frequencies appearing in all of my studio gear

    With RF interference like this, it could be best to contact first the FCC. In the UK, we have OFCOM, and they have an understaffed and underfunded department who are real experts at this sort of thing - but, residential 'victims' are low down the pecking order. Interference to essential services...

    Cash or Credit?

    We lost the pay extra for payment type years back, although we kept minimum on cards - so you couldn't use a card for low price items, but here in the UK, nobody under 30 seems to use cash. I was in the supermarket and near the tills were the usual approaching sell by date items. I saw some...

    Transformerless SM58

    I think it's that we've all got a fixed perception if common mics, which might be wrong. We are looking at 'labels' - as in X is dull, Y is bright, Z is thin and W is bassy - DrTechno's comments made me wonder a bit if people can hear the things we give the labels to? So a pretty simple task -...

    Transformerless SM58

    If I do the mic comparisons, do you have a suggestion as to which of these available to me I should use - I've also got a behringer 1820 and somewhere an old Lexicon Omega, if either of those jump out (good or bad) plus a pair of Behringers = x32 and x32 rack sitting in the store. I know they...

    New Native Instruments Double Bass

    I find the same - and I've got a gig coming up that is 2 x 60 mins! I'm having treatmentat the moment and the drug side effects mean crazy aches and pains if I stand up or sit down, and don't change - so I've been experimenting with a high stool and the DB on it's stand. That might hopefully...

    New Native Instruments Double Bass

    I got the email and went and had a look, but spotted £89 as a price and this seemed a little steep. I noticed this wording. Anybody spot the option dial in FRET NOISE???? All the demo material seems a bit strange for double bass folk like me - music where I would get out a fretless electric...

    how do i stay on beat in rap

    Tend to agree. When i first started playing with a click in my ear, i struggled to rigidly follow it. When i started producing click tracks i had tempo maps to follow, and when i actually played to my own tracks, i never ever heard the changes I had put in! A. Drop of 1bmp for a couple of bars...

    how to bring level meters to zero for recording? (cool edit pro 2.1)

    Eh? I misunderstood. Your problem is you cannot overdrive the lexicon on the way in? I never, ever wanted to get anywhere near that. In fact most people now avoid going anywhere near this level. Perhaps lexicon simply made sure going over was next to impossible in the conversion alignment? You...

    I think I will just pick one preamp, and just leave it to the mics then. Ta!
