  1. I knew a guy who had a Black Panther kit, and he wouldn't shut up about it. When we went to local gigs we would take bets on how long it would take for 'Richie' to introduce himself to the drummer. Usually within a few sentences he would mention that he had a 'Ludwig Black Panther'. Sad really. Cheers John
  2. Hi TheOne Producers can be such a difficult lot Surely they must have a fair idea of the tempo? I know they like to have control but..... Cheers John
  3. Hi I used to use Cubase years ago on my old Atari, I then converted to using Cakewalk and haven't looked back. I wondered if any of you were more recent converts, moving on to Sonar, and what you thought of Sonar in comparison to Cubase. Why did you change over and what were the big changes that took a while to get your head around. Cheers John
  4. How on earth did you manage to break 3 strings? That must have been a lightning bass fill! Any gigs coming up? Cheers John
  5. Hi I'm just starting looking for a new live FX unit to replace my Zoom 3030. Any recommendations? Cheers John
  6. Hi David I'd be interested to hear. I have an NT2 and I'm very impressed. Cheers John

    Hi Fascinate As far as I know...I've a mate who works with Emu. I'll ask him and get back to you if you want... Cheers John
  8. Hi Dave You mean that Steinberg software was...pirated!!? Surely not. What can the world be coming to! Cheers John
  9. Hi In terms of production, what's your favourite album? It's a tough question, but hey... For me there are of course many candidates. I think I'll suggest Radio Head, Ok Computer though. Just for shear density of ideas. When you listen hard (well not that hard) you can hear a lot of the edits. Som I am sure are intentional, others are more dubious. Although clicks and smooth fade ins improve quality of the mix, they can interfere with the creative flow. Cheers John
  10. Can anyone recommend a good starting point? I've been playing guitar for more than twenty years and I still haven't got round to it. I figured I'd ask and see if anyone had any pointers...
  11. Hi It depends on if I want to capture the sound of the room the kit is in, and how much control over the individual drums I want. If I want maximum control over the levels I let the kit mikes do the job. john

    If I played guitar

    A unique style: playing the guitar with drum sticks. An interesting experiment!
  13. Nice one! One think to add is select a hardknee compression! Cheers John
  14. Hi I thought someone might have some recommendations for Mike placement with the aim of reducing spill and capturing the sound of the kit. What mikes, placement damping, EQ etc. Cheers John
  15. Hi Just thought I'd see what site users thought about the Steinberg buy out. Concerned, happy? You tell me... Cheers John

    KORG 01W

    Any tips?

    Gold? What hide it under my bed until it appreciates? Sounds a bit like a record collector to me!
  18. Hi Have you cecked out the MOTU site and user groups? I'd be surprised if there were any major issues. Check and see if the MOTU card in question has an available WND driver. Unless it's an old card it probably will. This is important if you want the card to work with a minimum latency. What OS are you using? Cheers John

    Any tips?

    Hi I thought I'd ask and see if anyone had any music biz tips... apart from try another business! Cheers John
  22. Hi I'm thinking of getting a second hand sampler to add to my studio. 1. What are the benefits of / trade offs between the various Akai samplers? 2. What are common faults that I need to keep an eye out for and how can I check for them? Cheers
  23. Hi What is the best way to record an acoustic guitar? I want to preserve the character of the guitar as best as possible. So what type of mikes and positions should I use? Should I compensate for any particular ranges in terms of EQ and am I likely to need some compression?
  24. Hi Go on! someone must be able to tell me if it's worth upgrading. John
