Lozo Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 yes I was, probs abouts 20m from the barrier So we don't have the same definition of a good crowd haha PS : What did you think of Eminem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Any God Is An Astronaut fans around? Warp, delay, pitch-shifting, filters—God Is an Astronaut has long been characterized by its penchant for usual sounds. Torsten is “embarrassed to say” that he picks up a new pedal every couple of weeks (“It’s got to stop at some point,” he notes) Sounds like James!

FabriPav Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Maybe James IS in God Is an Astronaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 That means...I've seen his face!!! Unless he gets a stand in for the touring band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I listened to them for a while but the album I have gets pretty samey after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yeah, some of the albums do do that. Some nice songs mixed in there though. Well I have my main guitar tuned down the C standard so I don't really notice any tension now My MB's in F# A# C# F A# F at the moment, and it's fine, haha!

They use the cheapest thinnest carpet they can get and think that somehow it's going to provide some sort of sound insulation. You see it in most rehearsal rooms. WTF?!

matthijs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I would say that a (thin) carpet bounces less than a stone wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 you'd only notice the effect at very high frequencies though - higher than you'd be able to hear I think? Needs Jaicen for an informed answer, I've been out of uni too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs Jaicen for an informed answer, I've been out of uni too long Assuming it is a few centimetres thick, 8kHz+ But that is ultra-simplifying everything. Rooms with carpeted walls are definitely less live, but certainly not the complete solution to all acoustic problems. Wooden floors can be a problem as they emphasise reflections from all sorts of angles, but I guess playback levels and other acoustic treatment might disguise it. That was badly worded.

Dave. Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I have the strat's pickups in (it looks the sex ) but I still have to find nuts for pots, solder up the jack and buy strings for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a lot (too much) research it seems 8mm nuts is what I need. Its awkward as its not the CTS size and its not the Alpha size but I'm not complaining if the nuts are the only awkward thing about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Assuming it is a few centimetres thick, 8kHz+ It looks like 1cm at the most, but I did think it's be more like 14KHz and up so I stand corrected!

I'm guessing it's an acoustic electric DI'd or something http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0fTZ0O3LCU a piezo equipped electric can get pretty close too...but i don't know if he had something like that my QOTSA ticket just arrived, but the first thing I found in the envelope was a 3 pack shampoo sample :\ luckily it didn't explode all over the ticket in shipping...

Lord MFC Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 yes I was, probs abouts 20m from the barrier Tbh it was a bit tame for a Reading/Biffy crowd, but I dont really care. As long as I'm having a good time I couldn't give a fuck about anyone else. And that performance was the best I've ever seen BC do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean fair dos, obviously there is a difference between barrier and main crowd bit, but long as you enjoy it s'all good. Plus I can't deny the bands actual performance was sick However, I saw And So I Watch You from Afar last night. Was barely a venue, they rented the largest practice room in Brighton Electric Studios. First of all met Architects in between support acts as they were rehearsing in practice room next door. Had a quick chat, then saw ASIWYFA in a room of like 20 people, and it was the most insane gig I've seen in my life. Fucking amazing. They've recorded it as well but I couldn't resist filming me a couple of songs the middle section in this, so eerily quiet, all those people and not a sound 4iOPo5pQrW0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely had at least one shambling drunk chat with them afterwards too and they seem like thoroughly nice chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
