I’ve entered too. Is it an absolute requirement to follow them on Instagram? The email I got says: “ Dan, thank you for registration - YOU'RE IN! 🎉 “ It also says “Be sure to follow us on Instagram” but surely if they say you’re in, then you’re in. I’m not convinced. I’ve never won anything in my li...

Who doesn't love a long, boring analogy?

Well I certainly do. And that’s a particularly good one. Good to see you back around these parts Jack!

R.I.P.

What an amazing career he had. Taken far too early.

Not sure if this belongs in a different forum so mods please feel free to move it. I'm wondering if there is an app or plugin that I can use with my iPad to analyse realtime audio. Currently I use my Audient iD22 with my Mac for these duties which include mono summing and monitoring the ‘sides’ sign...

Had it twice today. iPad, Safari

Same for me on iPad with Safari

A tip for running ‘headless’ mixers over wifi: We used to gig with a Behinger X32 Rack and used an Apple Airport as the wifi router. I downloaded an app to scan the wifi landscape in each venue to find the cleanest band within the spectrum. I then set our router to transmit/receive on that channel a...

Here’s an off-the-shelf solution for 3 instruments: https://www.lehle.com/en/lehle-3at1-sgos

These Canford sequential on/off power distros are the dog’s wotsits but they’re expensive.

The Servisiol will as it contains a lubricant. Are we talking Super 10? EDIT: just read the blurb. I never knew it contained a lubricant. I always felt it left pots feeling scratchy so I switched to DeoxIT F5 The last can of Super 10 I had was purchased in Maplin many years ago so it’s been a while...

Thanks, so isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds for the heads and switch clearer for the switches - would that work on crackly pots as well? DeoxIT Fader F5 for potentiometers and faders. Switch cleaner clears away the necessary lubricant on pots as well as the dirt leaving them feeling scratchy. F5 c...

I’ve bought cassette loops before from here:

Not sure how you're powering the DPA, but just as a reference I recently bought the Eventide MixingLink to apply effects pedals to mic inputs and it's a superb bit of gear - very flexible.

Sounds trippy

Sorry. Carry on…

I was intrigued about the internal kick drum miking system he mentions. It turns out not to be maze.com... but: https://www.randallmay.com/internal-miking-system Ha! Thanks for that. I had looked up maze.com :lol: It’s interesting alright and a good one to know about. I was previously only aware of...

That’s just the talkback speaker for FOH. It doesn’t have to be fancy so there’s not much point in spending decent money on it. You just need to be able to hear relevant talkback traffic, although it does have to be reliable. We generally use Fostex 6301s in this role (or their Canford equivalent). ...

James Jamerson is supposed to have used LaBella flats in a slightly heavier gauge, I have no direct experience of those string though. I’ve tried them once and didn’t get on with them but yes, they are the authentic motown bass string as used by Jamerson. Guages are .052 - .110 so they’re definitel...

resistorman wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 6:23 pm It seems to me that when asked what strings were used, a famous player from that era replied “the ones that came on it” Duck Dunn maybe? Could be just an apocryphal story…

That was Bernard Edwards of Chic IIRC but it was possibly DD too

Thomastik-Infeld (TI) Jazz Flat Wound strings are what I have on one of my precision basses and they’ve been on it for about 10 years now. I’ll probably never change them. Best flats I’ve ever tried. I use a foam mute with them too.
