James Walker works for Soundgas these days, fixing their big guns. Don't think he takes on independent repairs any longer. What's the synth/problem? (disclaimer: I do fix synths for a living but I don't want to appear rude by recommending myself :D ) That sounds promising. Do you have a website?

Can anyone recommend a synth repair guy please?

I tried James Walker at the above link but the phone is not recognized...

Yeah I've heard people mention Dreamy to describe it a few times. I wasn't going for that, it's just how it turned out.

Check out my sound cloud, it's all there...

Great stuff... Dave

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate the support. And thanks for listening to it Barry. Interesting this, I had an email from a guy at the BBC, who produces the show (not the presenter) asking if the song had any "contentious content" (his words) and if so to supply a radio edit. Worth ...

Hi,
I just found out that one of my songs is scheduled for BBC Radio 6 Introducing Mixtape on the 23rd.
It's called What's She Like by me - Dave Beetham.
Just wanted to let people know...
Dave

Just had a blog post about one of my songs

Here it is...

Hey JJ, Thanks for taking the time and having a listen, I appreciate the feedback, did you follow or like on Soundcloud? It's all about the stats these days, how many loves you get on Soundcloud, likes on facebook etc. The people up the food chain won't look at you unless you got that. I'll post the ...

Hi! Since this is my first post I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Dave Beetham, I formed Manchester band Paranoise in the late 90's. We were chosen by the NME for their new band showcase in London. We disbanded after a very slutty relationship with the late Tony Wilson at Factory Records and ...

Listening to Bastard at the moment... You got any more stuff? Whack it up on Sound Cloud... BTW one of the most interesting bits is when you do a bit at the end

Hi, Just listening to your song on youtube, it's [ ****** ] awesome... You on soundcloud? Dave

I contacted Eventide and they said get in touch with hhb, who are their fixers in the UK.

I've got a dead Eventide Space pedal, which I'd like to get repaired. Anyone know who would be able to fix this thing? Problems are: 1. Power supply is not turning the unit on, (power supply was tested on another pedal and works) 2. The Left mono input was not working prior to it failing. 3. The ...

Reverb is for the creation of spaces, it is the primary processor, without it - unless you recorded in a superb sounding room - your tracks with inhabit no space. Everything will be dry, everything will exist in a tiny box. To say it is a low level element is missing the point, there are no low ...

A reverb is for the creation of spaces. You can place something into a space with a reverb. Don't think of it as adding reverb to vocals, think of it as putting your vocalist into a space that you created with the reverb. Long reverbs with big spaces sound very epic but we're not all Enya, or ...

I like this. I'm not sure about the kick or the drums when they come in, I dislike the piano sweeps. I'd say the kick should be 1,3 instead of 1,2,3,4 - the main should either come in like a kit should or just leave it out... I like the ending, the crazy acoustic guitar might be overkill though...

It's quite nice. The ambience is subtle, not quite in a small box cos the lid is open...

if you are going for epic then more dynamics and more swells in volume and epic spaces... If anything it's not epic enough... When the strings swell lets experience that...

WTF is that at 1:47?

I like this, slightly too slow? I like the slap back echo on vocal. Harmonica exists in a different space to the rest of the "band". Slide guitars if nice. Acoustic uke sounds nice. The ambient space for the mix, I'm not sure about. I like the take off bit, when the kitchen sink is thrown in.

Hahahahahaha.... This is great. Not happy about the silver skin tight leotards though, I'm caught between being aroused and feeling very ashamed, lol

So we all know that the compressor is 4 reducing the dynamic range. For example we use it on kicks but what if we are working with a drum plugin? As in this case all the kicks have the same level and there is no dynamic range. So here's two questions: 1. Is it a necessity to use a compressor in ...

Since when is the aim for the mix to be a loud as [ ****** ]? Have a listen to some classic albums as a reference (anything prior to 1980) and stop using limiters and compressors, they should be banned...
