If you're only looking at having reverb in your mons to help with pitching then IEMs are the best option. Not everyone likes them though. I assume this is for your solo work so a decent set of in-ear headphones would work, no need for fancy mouldings etc. since you don't need to block out various other noisy bastards. Feel free to PM me if you need any technical advice.

The looping and layering would be easier actually. Putting on reverb/delay really needs ears out front because there's not so much room for manoeuvre. Perhaps one way would be to split your vocal, send dry to foh and fx, then send the effected vox to foh as well. that would give the engineer some leeway as regards monitor, main level and EQ. For example, if the FX is feeding back in the mons, the engineer can take down the FX without reducing the dry feed. I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that there's so many rigs/engineers out there that aren't capable of doing a simple thing like chucking on a bit of reverb or delay. Personally I wouldn't go to the trouble and expense for something I'd expect the house/hire PA to be equipped with.

It's fraught with technical difficulties. Loopbacks would need to be controlled by you and shouldn't cause too much trouble but adding (and having the ability to adjust) your own FX onstage means you need a monitor mix that's going to rival the FOH* and still not feed back. Good luck with that. * otherwise you might have it sounding great on stage but it's a minging mess out front, and there's squat the engineer can do about it.

After listening to that, I think I'll go and buy a shedload of tomatoes, just so they're nice and over-ripe for the 30th June. I'll make a killing selling them outside Cab Vol. Any attempts at weasel-punching, or hamster-slapping, will result in immediate retribution, I'll tell the house engineer you lot all said he was a wanker, just before you go on stage.

Someone's done their homework there then.

As far as I know the rules on poker in pubs, you might want to revise your plan. The Northern bar better take another look at the rules as well. You can't charge an entry fee. Sure, you can charge for the poker school bit at the start but you can't charge anyone who turns up afterwards and wants a game. Some other things you might want to know: There's a 5 per head maximum stake per game. There's a 100 limit per day per premises on stakes and prizes, no matter how many games you have. Beer vouchers will count towards that limit, as do any donated prizes. The house isn't allowed to take a rake. All stakes must be paid out in prize money. http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/UploadDocs/publications/Document/Advice%20on%20gaming%20in%20clubs%20and%20alcohol%20licensed%20premises.pdf

Although I'm not a fan of using video replays in-game, I'm all for using video evidence to throw the book (retrospectively) at cheats like Lafferty. When the case is as cut-and-dried as that one the offending player should be on the receiving end of a big suspension, have a big fine equivalent to several weeks pay (money goes to a charity of the victims choice) and award the game to the team who were cheated. With so much at stake in modern football you have to make the punishment huge to remove the incentive to cheat in that way.

Xlr .

You'd better not be belittling Barnet or I'll become a Torquay supporter on the 17th.

I just found this on the BBC sport "Chants of the week" section. "You're only half as good as last time!" Scotland fans "taunting" the Dutch after conceding goal number three.

Not funny. Not even once. I keep giving it one more try but no, they're still shit.

USA does have weird transfer rules. They should really stick to rounders and netball.

I didn't actually lol, but I was damn close. Nice one.

After seeing the Chelski goals tonight, I have to agree that Collocini is mince. Maybe it's just his flamboyant Valderrama hairdo that made me notice his awful positioning and the fact that he looked like it was the first time he'd ever seen a football.

Perhaps it could also give them the ability to use their shift key.

Did you actually see the goal, poor old Heskey didn't have a clue where the ball was so it doesn't really count in my book either. He's mince. Personally I'd send MON for a brain scan right now, I wouldn't give you my toe-nail clippings for Heskey never mind what Villa paid.

At the local level merely having the relevant details (where, when, how much) in writing is sufficient. Even an email or a PM etc is good enough. Not so much for legal reasons but to prevent any misunderstandings later. If it's there in black and white no once can argue about who said what.

That's ace. Exactly what I said but with much more words.

One possibility is that you've got a little overlap at that point. Zoom in and check it visually if you haven't already done that. Also, it sounds like you've cut at a place with lots of signal, always try to make your cut points where there's minimum signal. Of course, you could always automate the reverb to switch on/off when you want it to and not have to bother with all this cut/paste malarkey.

I know you really mean 175 square metres.

Sorry, I missed some vital points in your OP, like "self built" and "jack". Are you using an unbalanced mic in a balanced jack input?

Try putting + and earth on the switch instead of +/-. The buzz is an earthing issue so disconnecting the earth should fix it. Be careful though, try it at low volumes first in case you get a pop.

The change takes effect from next season, and isn't confined to lower league clubs.

Been there, done it, got the T-shirt. Although there's no such thing as a great soundcheck there are hassle-free soundchecks, and I like those. Very much.

I like a nice bit of spam in the morning.
