Re: Microphone stand suggestions?
We always used the Tama MS205 stands when I was running a live sound business (https://www.thomann.co.uk/tama_mic_boom_stand_ms205.htm) We rated them as having a better gripping mechanism than the K&Ms, that is required less force to lock. I had around 14 units over 25 years without a single ...

Re: My quest for Quadraphony -- journal and audio samples
Hi Ben! Quite by accident I today stumbled across references to an album released way back in 1997 named 'Zaireeka' by The Flaming Lips, and I suspect you'll be interested for obvious reasons ;) "It consists of four CDs designed so that when played simultaneously on four separate audio systems ...

Re: Advertising Revenue from Israel
I've also brought this to the attention of the higher-ups to give a considered answer. One of the most remarkable things about this community is its ability to be a place where music and music making is paramount and even when the odd non musical topic pops up, discussion is balanced and evidence ...

Re: AI Music Is Exploding on YT (Probably on the other Streamers)
What’s most amazing to me though above all this is still the human ability to comment on their experience and push it beyond something seemingly mundane and into the meaningful, mystical, dare I say spiritual, realm of “art”. Whose commenting? and is this really meaningful mystical and spiritual art ...

Re: Church PA Operation
I believe the exact opposite... I am not surprised! :D But that's not a criticism, just an observation. I understand, I was on the edge of studying theology and philosophy at university with a view to entering the clergy, if God were to give me the opportunity, I'd go one step further, and enter a ...

Re: The Pultec rumble
D16 who are much lauded for their modelling of analogue circuits have just released Pulsatec https://d16.pl/pulsatec I thought this was hardware! :D So did I until I spotted the low price - I've long since become fed up with these oh-so-realistic 3D renditions of plugins, designed to dupe the ...

Re: Church PA Operation
The world has changed and continues to change, and the church needs to change with it to remain relevant I believe the exact opposite, if people can't bend to the religion, then it isn’t for them, plus, the church has no relevance to modern society, society has abandoned the fundamental principals. ...

Re: Any PCM91 users here?
224 was beyond, completely beyond, couldn’t believe I had it, but it was so unreliable as to render it almost useless, the trouble is that it has eight horizontal boards, that aren’t supported in the middle, and the tracks are always breaking, but when it was working, it was pure heaven, and simple ...

Re: Church PA Operation
When I was a chorister none of this was deemed necessary, and IMO it's an extension of a trend that I disliked very much at the time, happy-clappy guitars and doing away with the High Altar, it's been down hill ever since, also, the extra money the church needs to buy all this stuff, it's all extra ...

Re: Mixer, racked or desktop?
...the Wiz would be fine flat, but not now, combined with bad knees its really an issue having to get up and stand all the time. I can sort of remember the knobs, but my brain just won't take in some things, and I always forget, especially what’s boost and frequency on the EQ. I dunno... if only t ...

Re: Any PCM91 users here?
User update, very used to it now, and, I’m using it more than the FX2000, also made a few sounds of my own with it, the UI is actually easier to navigate and understand than the Behringer too. The Behringer initially sounds more impressive, but in comparison to the Lexicon it's not as good at c ...

Re: Mixer, racked or desktop?
Too much faff with a camera Dave, but good idea, Studiomaster made a mixer way back that looked like a VCS3 type shape, Hugh, if I was fitter, and my eyesight was better, yes, the Wiz would be fine flat, but not now, combined with bad knees its really an issue having to get up and stand all the time ...

Mixer, racked or desktop?
My A&H MixWiz is currently in a rack case sitting vertical, this is always a dilemma, it has advantages and disadvantages, advantages are that I can clearly see the EQ and AUX sections, without having to get up and look down on it like if it's horizontal on the desk, disadvantages are that its very ...

Re: Church PA Operation
I was at a local church, a friend was performing in the band, the PA sound was awful, terrible, speakers and mic's in the wrong places, no attention at all was paid to gain staging, things were either too quiet, or too loud, with audible distortion, terrible. When I asked my friend about it he said ...

Re: Ongoing Behringer 1820 repair
Well, AI does it again!
gave me a number for Behringer service UK, turned out to be a company that supplies Behringer with fabricated metal parts!
So if it's back to trying to contact Behringer themselves, it's going to be the bodge!

Original? I'm currently going through, and editing about three days worth of "ideas" into a 60 minute album, none of it is what I would call "original" it all sounds like something else, I'm not sure how to take this, but what can I do? My approach to somehow try and get away from this is to say "I ...
