Re: New project and a new skill!

there's round robins to consider too...? that’s a good point. I’d thought about this and put it in the have a think pile. I’m envisaging some problems with it in terms of close consistency. More reading and thinking required on this. Ian Judging by my sampling projects, round robins tend to occur n...

Re: What are the best most professional monitor speakers on the market?

A friend had a pair of ATC SCM20 PRO, he sold those and bought a pair of K+H 300’s, he was never really happy with the K+H's, they sounded OK where he initially heard them, but didn’t suite his room, the ATC's were much more controlled, a tighter sound, I loved them too. I’m still well pleased with...

Re: Short-scale fretless electric bass

I keep thinking about replacing the strings on my electric bass as I'm still using the ones that came with the kit (apparently they're notoriously poor quality). But as no-one has commented yet they're clearly good enough for my recording purposes so they shall stick around for a while yet. :) I co...

Re: Short-scale fretless electric bass

I ordered the heavier set, as I found the stock strings slightly floppy for my taste (I’m used to quite heavy LaBellas on my main bass). Of course, the new strings now won’t fit the nut slots on the bass, so everything’s on hols until a cheap set of nut files arrive! Ah, that's one reason I ordered...
