Damn, I miss Kef and Downstairs :(

This is still for sale. £25 anyone? At a push it's a 6 channel mixer

Nice!

Anyone want to make an offer?

"The XR-7 is a multitracker that combines a multi-function mixer with six inputs(two of which accept mic signals)and AUXofBI alternate mechanism, and a high-performance four-track cassette recorder with full logic controls, a high-quality,double-speedtape transport, and DOLBY C Noise reduction system

TheXR-7 offers versatility and advanced functionality, including four-track simultaneous recording, punch in/out by footswitch, zero return/auto-playback, operation indicators, and instrument rehearsal mode at half speed.

The XR-7 allows you to create high-quality sounds easily, using techniques such as playing four different instruments by yourself, track bouncing, tape sync, and mix down."

Quite a few years old, comes complete with the original manual and powersupply. In full working condition. Looking for 40 O.N.O.

Old SOS Review: Fostex XR7

Also whoever was on the sound last night got it pretty much spot on so props to them.

You're welcome

I'm actually quite impressed at the lack of negativity in this thread. Well done Aberdeen music - for once

Well done to Jamesy and Jim and all at Drummonds / Tunnels for making this a reality.

See you in the beer tent!

well done guys

Turning 13 are PUNK, in spirit anyway...

Which Spirit Jeff? Morgans? Vodka?

Curly hair a must. White gloves not included

Being in the rehearsal room should always be treated like you are playing on stage - if you are serious about gigging. If you can't hear shit in the rehearsal room what chance do you have to hear things on a stage? Monitors only do so much - no matter how many valves you have in your amp.

turn down? are u insane? no-one ever knows how to do that! Or is that jus me?o_O

Insane? No. Practical? Yes.

It really works

Where are you rehearsing and what system are you using? From my experience with bands rehearsing at Toms (and myself rehearsing) it helps loads if everyone just turns the hell down

Stageline Same staging that was used at Feugh

Or you could try Limelights in Inverness who did Wizard fest staging.

Old post I know, might be useful for someone else

I've been mucking about with a Samson C03-U USB condenser mic, and it's actually not bad. Cheap too.

Sorted that last post for you Badger.

damn internetz!!!

remember, not everyone on the internet knows what they're talking about so

Especially Ian

Bux you plug - I told you last month to go to Atmosphere.....

I agree getting a band together is a tricky business. We have been in the process of trying to find a vocalist for about 10 months, and in the process we haven't done a bloody thing since the search began - music wise, which kinda sucks

But yeah keep plugging away. The perfect band members will exist somewhere. Just not in Aberdeen

Doesn't exist. You can slap some kind of track maximiser/limiting plugin on your track and it would sound loud but if you don't have the levels right in the first place it would just ruin the whole thing.

Use your ears and the mixer in whatever multitracking software you are using! Get the levels right as you want them' date=' and if you are getting problems like distortion then look to tools like EQ or compression/limiting to fix them.[/quote']

Or you could try out Audacity? http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Native Instruments Guitar Rig 2, or as said before the Wave GTR system. Both are excellent, and I especially like the Ampeg SVT bass amp modelling in Guitar Rig 2.

lift you heel' date=' put your foot as far forward as possible and play with the part of your foot just behind your toes, with practice you will be able to play very fast and with more practice you will increase the volume.[/quote']

Yes indeedy. That is pretty much what I do as well. I like my seat to be fairly low though. It's just a matter of what is comfortable to you as well.

Nip down to Perth and go to RWJ's and try out all the Ufips they have in stock. The Bionic series are still beautiful cymbals.

Can't say I've ever cracked one cymbal in 17 years of drumming. You guys must be beating the living shit out them, or not mounting them properly. Take care of your cymbals and they will last a long time
