james90 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yea I've got it all on Blu-Ray, watched them when it was on TV, and again when I got the set. Really enjoyable to watch, and can't help but love Dave even more. Their NA tour will be interesting with Dave's Broken leg... I keep wondering if they will cancel Toronto since it is only beginning of July. Yeah I just watched one episode and it was really good. I don't know. They've only canceled the rest of the european tour so far. I'm not sure if I'll bother going to the second show though, since the ticket I have is probably the second furthest section away from the stage, as I forgot they actually went on sale... got a fairly decent ticket for the first one though But it's all about the atmosphere, right...? Finally got the shipping update saying that sustainiac had been cleared through customs, should be here within the next few days...

manualex Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Something that's more interesting to me: apparently the New Born sound is run on 2 channels, and he higher sound is controlled with the volume pedal! Is this live or the studio recording? If it's the live version I assumed that it was just Morgan playing the same notes as Matt, still cool stuff to know.

Are you going for the entire festival? Nice one cheers! Yeh going for the full 4 days should be pretty awesome, including trains it also worked out about £50 cheaper than Reading so pretty good value, great lineup on the whole as well http://www.rockwerchter.be/nl/line-up/overzicht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 You want to definitely have some; kick drum definitely, a combination for snare/hi-hat, and maybe two dedicated overhead mics. You should take into consideration how many free mic slots you have and maybe rent a small set? When my friends band played a tiny bar about a year and a half back, I've monitored that they had three mics - bass, snare and overhead. That could also be possible. But in keeping with how organised we aren't, I have no idea what I might actually need beyond the core kit. And I don't particularly like the thought of that anyway as my kit is an aged and battered thing that is going to be painful to transport in a titchy Micra. How big is the bar? I know my covers band normally only has a kick drum mic if we're in a small venue and one overhead if it's a bit bigger. Drums are fuckin loud, man. I can honestly admit I have no idea. But I've been to and recently played at mic-free events and not had many issues with hearing the damn things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My band's got a gig at a bar in a few weeks, but I don't have mics for my (cheap) drums. Do I need any for a gig like this, and how many or for which bits? Kick, vocals bare minimum. Doubt you'd need to mic any overheads or snare as cymbals and snare will be loud enough. If your amps are decent enough you should be able to get a decent volume with them without having to go through the PA, letting the speakers handle just vocals and kick for some thump enit. I tend to mic the guitars though in case a solo comes along and I want to give a little added boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really should learn to solder Which ones are you using? I started using these a while back for everything except speaker cables (been using the same one for years now) and patch cables (as I bought close to 25 of those from Bs a while back) http://www.designacable.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It took a while, but I'm craving a nando's... Wouldn't mind a pasty either. Might have a go at making one myself, since they seem equally as difficult to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other one the right angle jack just snapped off. Wanna make some with neutrik ends Also want a longer amp to speaker cable, then I need some SPDIF and USB cables for Kemper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah the neutrik ones seem pretty decent. Just not a fan of those locking jacks they do... I think the speaker cable I have is a live wire something or other. One of those brands only guitar center carries. good cable, but the ends don't fit all amps for some reason. Did your sustainer board arrive safely? Just checked and it said it was delivered on the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macaroon Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm at Werchter too, Deadstar! I was holding up Ben during Royal Blood when he stage dived, such a good set they played. Missing them on Saturday for Tallest Man on Earth though This place is so much better than UK fests... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your sustainer board arrive safely? Just checked and it said it was delivered on the 6th. Yeah my amp/speaker cable is really short, so if I wanna play through my cab I can't have my Kemper on my desk. And I don't have a USB cable to connect the Kemper to my laptop anyway as I sold it with my keyboard (also I still have some Gotoh 510 tuners, Sennheiser HD380 headphones and a Morley ABY pedal for sale guys) And oops, must have forgot to post, yeah it arrived really quickly! Got fitted in yesterday and the guy said it seems to be working. Reminds me though I need to stock up on 9V batteries. Gah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I saw Russian Circles last night. Their tones were spot on. And it was nice to see a set up that wasn't an Axe FX running into a kemper I also bought a Polytune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
