  1. If you type it into google you'll get a wealth of info on it and pictures too...

    Speech EQ?

    I just recorded using cheap-o PC mic as it is all I had to hand. If time was on my side I would have waited to get my condensor mic + pop sheild and then some know how. I've been going through taking off about 3-6dB where there are louder pops and other noises. This seems to be working quite well. The audio is getting MEGA compressed in flash down to a really low size so it isn't too important to sound spiffing! 7mb wave file is now embedded in a movie that is only 96kb.
  5. I saw the video on TV for "This Isn't It"...downloaded the album on Torrent today. Not normally the style of music I go for but getting more into that..."weird"...pop. Certainly a departure from all the folk I have been listening to of late. Seems like a really good album with some mega catchy tunes. Gretsch + Girl + Fuzz = b'awesom!
  6. I was wondering if someone can tell me some quick EQ tips for spoken word? I have to make a presentation for univeristy which contains students speaking. I was wondering if there were any general tips and tricks for EQ etc. that I could apply to make it sound a wee bit better? Any quick fix for popping P's and sssssssssssssssssssss S's

Great Lake Swimmers german pop/alt/folk. http://www.myspace.com/greatlakeswimmers1 Cara Dillion irish folk singer. http://www.myspace.com/caradillon Can't go wrong with some Laura Veirs as there is a new song on there. http://www.myspace.com/lauraveirs Also worth checking out www.myspace.com/decemberists and http://www.myspace.com/tarkio
  8. I'd really like it but I just can't justify spending that much on an amp with my ability on guitar. If I were better you'd have your self a buyer. I don't understand why no one else has gone for this amp? Mesa Boogie have such an awesom reputation and the quality is second to none. If I can become awesom over night you'll have youself a buyer lol!

    Haha don't want to see them that much...prob. have to wait for a stadium tour.
  10. I only got Pro Tools as someone was selling it on here for £100 and from what I had read it was good. I am sure I can get it working well. The system upgrade should help. I dunno if I would have been better getting an M-Audio version of pro tools...or the card and using something else althogether. I saw the Combo version of Guitar Rig. I got Guitar Rig on torrent so I could try before I buy basically. I really like what I heard <which wasnt much> and the interface. I will look into the emu0404...really I think getting a good asio card will help me with Guitar Tracks and possibly recording if I can aquire a different sequencer. Midi keyboard + interface is the next issues so I can use reason...so much stuff to try and pick up on. Really don't want to buy expensive/shit gear....do you have MSN Keilan? Perhaps I could add you and you could give me some advice on a set up?
  11. Hey. Wondering if those in the know can give me a pointer in the right direction. I now have: Pro Tools LE with MBOX 1 fxpansion BFD Drum Module Native Instruments Guitar Rig 2 External 300 Gb Audio Drive Problem is when I use Guitar Rig / Pro Tools / BFD I get a lot of clicks and lag. I'll put this down mainly to the shitty sound card I have in my PC? I am getting a general upgrade in future...new mobo/processor etc etc. What I was wondering was what cards are good for low latency monitoring? I don't really need lots of in/outs for recording as I have the MBOX for recording. I would like to be able to use Guitar Rig as a stand alone program with minimal latency....un-noticeable should be possible. BFD just doesn't work with my current card <works on newer PC in the living room>. Pro Tools wasn't good for monitoring at all but this would be down to the PC as it does it's own shizzle. Any help much appriciated!

    Pete Doherty

    Druggy scum....really not a fan and I don't see what the attraction is. I didn't get the Libertines either. Infact most new British bands aren't to my taste at all...add on drug use and media hype and I think its cringe worthy.
  15. Depends...whats the kitchen like? How much food does the fridge hold? Whats the ambience like in the bathroom...THESE are the important factors.
  16. No.1? I downloaded all of The Beatles albums in one zip file. Couldn't listen to it all...I just disliked too much. Yes they have some fantastic & amazing songs. They also have a lot of substandard songs...well at least to me ears. Not my thing at all. Out of the 350 or songs they have written I can think of about 30 I really like. Ofcourse not saying they aren't good...just a lot of material doesn't work for me.
  17. What do you use for drilling the holes for the machine head retaining screws? I've had trouble finding a small enough drill bit as you have to pre-drill before screwing in. Finally got a 1mm and 1.5mm drill bit. Got a hand drill...and now I need a pin chuck!
  18. Also need to know the power available from your PSU. Friend of mine got a NVidia 6600GT to last him a little while. He had to get a PSU as well as his current PSU couldn't handle the extra juice required to run the more powerfull card. Luckily he thought this might be the case and had a PSU ready. I would say the nvidia 6600GT is a good card and is available on AGP x8...xpertvision make one you can pick up for £110 I think. Lots of band for your buck on an older AGP machine.
  19. I am in the same boat just now...had these parts for a while...just have to get my act together and stick it all together. Props for doing the finishing yourself its looking really good.
  20. You mean the live acoustic double CD? It is really good. I like the new single...going to be a grower yet. They are no where near being passed it...Riot Act is probably one of their best albums for sure. I am interested in finding out what the new album will be like.
  21. Every gutiar post you write has that frickin' guitar in it Keilan!
  22. Laura Veirs - Year of Meteors. Listen to it all the time. Got me into a lot of new music. Opened a whole new world of music to me...thats good value for money!
  23. Cheers for the answers so far, can we keep the replies coming?
