You obviously never heard playing for Star N Garta's Live breakbeat extraveganzas at trhe University Union (1998 I think).

Must have been at least 180 bpm easy . Nae bother X-(

Just get hold of a Behringer Ultra Curve. They do work, but they aren't the best of kit. I'm pretty sure you can get one for under 200.

I believe Jimi wants to test your ears with the BSS Phase Check system anyway

I have used the reference mic your talking about with an original Behringer Ultra Curve (when they were still expensive!) It was used in RTA mode and just picked up the sound from the band(s) to help with feedback elimination and ringing out the monitors. Bit lame really coz thats wot your ears are for!

I haven't used the behringer dynamics in a gig situation, but for the money, they are a very good buy!!

shure sm57 and sm58's are the industry standards in vocal and instrument mics, indestructible and sound great

i think behringer do some pretty cheap copys of them if your short on cash

Err, no microphone is "indestructible" - including 58's & 57's. People only think they "sound great" because they are pretty much the only mics that people have heard as they are "industry standard". If you pay a little more money, you can get the beta 58 which is an up to date version of the 58. Not too bad. EV (Electrovoice) do some nice cheap and not so cheap dynamic mics, as do Sennheiser (their evolution series is very cheap!)

The Behringer copys are actually rather good. I have three (although I left one in a bell tower for 9 months :O I haven't checked it yet.) Only problem is getting hold of some.

PS David - where did you get your avatar. I want it!!

I don't agree with that....................

Hold on, weve already done that one

rodes are cheap. Not bad but cheap all the same. Try some Neumanns!! Nice.

Stripey,

Try this out for posting your mp3's. Saves people having to download the whole thing!!

It removes the blip bit you get in quick time if you simply link

straight to the MP3 file.

Merci buckets!!

although netrik do manufacture a nice locking surface mount jack socket which would be rather better than just looping the cable through the strap. If only all guitar manufacturers would actuall spend some money at the imoprtant parts

I think I'm gonna get a spell checker for my fingers

Yeah ok. Shaun. We don't need a frikkin' ad for BM's fool!!

cheers, I'll check out R&B's. It is specifically the "Fusion" models I am looking for coz they are fantastic sticks. Almost as perfect as the Vic Firth "Dave Weckls"

Anyone know where to get hold of some new ones? I'm told they aren't made any more.

Band names are a tough one to get right. I used to be in a punk band called Feeble, a rock band called Konspiracy, a good band (pretty much genre-less at the time) called Arnica and I used to engineer for a band called the Small Gentlemen. I was also in another band but I can't remember the name of it. It must have been a good name then if I can't remember it!

Only think going on at Kef when Christie is on is Jack Daniels drinking and petulent glares at underage kids wearing makeup!
