but being closed back and mainly used when tracking, they have got pretty sweaty and damp when in use. Yep, that's certainly an issue Chez Bunk. And I probably have given them a good "thrapping" over time as they are also used for pleasure when the neighbours are in and I need to "unwind" to ...

I just have to look at a cable and it tangles.

Yep, I have that problem but it gets even worse when I'm not looking.

Being stuck at home a lot lately (cautiously hibernating as opposed to isolating) and of course there's a lot of Xmas music on the radio stations now, especially Classic FM. I might be being an old fart here but the increasingly "imaginative" multi-part harmonies on the last verse for carols now is ...

I've been using a pair of trusted AKG K271s for probably around 10 years now, mostly for monitoring but some mixing as well; I've lately redecorated my studio and have since removed all acoustic treatment so these are now my only references for my productions. Just lately I've noticed that I'm just ...

Isn't Gary Moore's "Parisienne Walkways" basically a cycle of 4's? Give or take the odd embellishment of some chords, it's Am, Dm, Dm/G, C (maj 7th), F, Bm(that would strictly be a Bb), E, Am.
It's lovely on a piano, so it doesn't have to be all about the guitar solos!!

Yep! Used to be when King's College choir starts "Hark The Herald Angels" for me but this year I brought it forward to the second I heard the opening bars of Greg...

Chris is a true talent, and as said genuinely a lovely bloke. He was on Mortimer and Whitehouse's Christmas episode talking about his ailments and illnesses. Irrepressible I think is the word. Hewesy Yep, I saw that and thought he looked really ill, poor man. Love a lot of his stuff, Stainsby Girls ...

I've used Wayfair Furniture for various furniture purchases recently, including this chair. https://www.wayfair.co.uk/furniture/pdp/zipcode-design-emmaleigh-mesh-desk-chair-hvo74543.html" target="phpbbpopup That particular chair which I bought is now out of stock but it's very comfortable and I'm in ...

For what it's worth there's also a decent Football Magazine called "Four Four Two"; I can't see it changing its name to "Three Five One One."

I did a couple of collaborations with a drummer mate during the first lockdown (one is on the forum album) and we used a shared dropbox folder. As he is not good with the tech I set up a Reaper project with two tracks, a guide track and a blank drum track, so he just had to load the project, hit ...

A decent alternative to weights is (are) resistance bands. I'm using them on my legs at the moment due to medical conditions which have an implication on my bones and they do the trick nicely, both for upper and lower body exercises.

The first example that sprung to mind for me is Neu! I've two of their albums, the best being "Neu! 75"; half the album is "electronica" and the other half is closer to punk. It's brilliant, seriously well worth a listen.

Well I was going to fire this one at one of my team as I work in a health club. But now seeing the original post was from 2009 and the poster only has 2 posts I'll leave it, although I remain curious. Ish. If anybody wants me to pursue it I'm happy to ask on their behalf...

I really like this! A long long time ago my band were briefly joined by two visiting West indies cricketers and natch we had to adapt our set list which basically became a short Bob Marley's Greatest Hits set. The one thing I really noticed was the bass player's technique and sound and when it came ...

i think they acheived something better than music..they made a generation of kids pick up the guitar and start a band... And adults too; I was one. There was an awful lot of absolute drivel around at that time and I'll always remember hearing Def Maybe for the first time. I'd heard the hype but not ...

Hmmm; I'd echo the comment from the OP that there are bits of it that I'd be a little embarrassed at signing off for release, although it does have a home studio vibe to it. Can't quite work out what's going on with the acoustic in the right channel. Is it meant to be there or not? But looking at ...

Is this normal? Does anyone do this.? I bought my acoustic guitar mainly of what it looked like (Epiphone Hummingbird Pro) thinking it's an Epiphone so probably sounds good. Don't get me wrong, I tried it out in the shop, and it did sound good to my ears, but I didn't try any other guitars that day ...

But I do have a disco ball hanging from the joists,

There's your album cover then.

I've recently had my "studio" (spare bedroom which is no longer spare, nor a bedroom) completely redecorated / refurbished. New carpet (yes the old one was "sticky"), new desk, new hi-fi, new blind for the window, new sofa etc etc. It is now a real pleasure to be in the room and my recording has ...

If you want a DVD to play in every DVD player you need to burn it in a specific format with the correct file and directory structure. Look for the option to burn DVD-Video which should automatically create the correct structure and hopefully convert the videos to the mpeg layer 2 format that DVD ...

Also, if 'normalizing' the tracks don't slam them to withing 0.01dB of 0dBfs, some players, my old Philips e.g. don't like it up'em! Neg 3 is loud enough.

Dave.

Now you mention it.....thanks Dave, that might well have something to do with it.

If I may sort of hijack / chip in on a related subject, can I ask the same question of DVDs? The reason is that I have burnt Verbatim DVDs which always seem to have worked on my TV but more recently, while they have worked on my PC, they have not on my TV. However, I am burning an MP4 format DVD and ...

There's something weird going on with Vinyl here. When it's loaded, I can hear it working, even if I'm not actually playing the song it's on. Nothing too worrying obviously but anyone else got this, and if so, what's going on? You DAW may not be actively playing, but it still might be processing ...
