Does anyone know of such a service in the UK? Dave.

For about two weeks now, if I am looking at a site and there is a .pdf document in it and I click on it it does not open but goes straight to my 'Downloads' folder. Consequently this is getting stuffed and I keep having to clean it out. I want to keep SOME .pdf file of course but mostly just...

My son is helping a guy with some songs and has suggested doubling the voice could help. He has knocked up the attached tonight as a demo of what he means. I think it is rather good but then I am his dad! Dave.

I have just got that working. Son and I have found it a bit of a pain to have to keep turning down monitors when running any open mics so I built this relay box. The problem with all such extra boxes is power but I found some mini' relays (0.1 'Vero' pitch) with 5V coils. They are DPDT and so...

First time here chaps so be kind. I also know Jack S about Cakewalk! What I would like to know is if there is a 'filter' setting that can turn off Pitch Bend on an external controller? Son's EVO controller in France has a dodgy PB pot and he has to jam it to stop random 'wows'. Years ago we...

Does anyone here have one please? My son has recently gone back to France with one I bought recently and set it up recording some gentle classical guitar (will post a clip later) He was disappointed to clearly hear noise on the recording. He also has the same Mackie mic in XLR form and running...

I don't know if some of you eff about with TVs and AV gear but I do in a domestic scene. My new TCL 50" smart TV only has 3 HDMI inputs (about the limit for most) and I really needed another input so I bought an AV adapter which consists of a 4 pole 3.5mm jack plug to 3 RCA line sockets, red...

I post here because newbs often ARE on a budget. The cheap part of the recording is a Mackie EM91-C L*DC microphone. They are available now under $50 although we payed closer to £70 for ours IIRC. The interface is not so budgety! MOTU M4 but I would expect similar results from all but the most...

Seen yesterday at the punk museum exhibition. Took through glass so a bit fuzzy, could not see a name.

My son "constructed" this piece from the score using MIDI samples. I would interested to know what 'proper' musicians make of it? Dave.

I know I am sometimes accused of 'banging their drum' too much but the current, August issue of Sound on Sound has an in depth article about ground loops , why they happen and suggested cures. The piece is written by their highly experienced technical editor Hugh Robjohns. Dave.

I am sure it has been covered before but can someone tell me how to enable it in Reaper please? I am trying to get a Korg nanokontrol to work. My son in France has very recently discovered that Reaper is much more useful for MIDI work than Samplitude Pro X3 which he is very familiar with. Dave.

Any experts here? I have Sam Pro X6 on W10 and cannot get a Korg Nano Kontrol to work at all. I have Sam SE8 on an old W7 laptop and that works with Mackie control. I would like to send the Korg to my son in France and he has Pro X 3 on 10 but if we cannot get it to work not worth the hassle...

Yes I know! Bias oscillator not working. I have a schematic but although very detailed in many respects it only shows the BO as a circuit 'block' with no details. In all other respects the machine works fine. I want to sell it with NAB adapters, spare reels and tapes. Not going to get much if...

Some here might recall that I have a couple of mics in my garden for sound to the wildlife vids I make? Well for some time I thought one of them was dead so today, being the first bit of decent weather we have had in '23, I investigated. No! It is not that horrible mess on the bucket! That is...

The more technical among you might like to invest £6.99 in the May issue of Sound on Sound? In it you will find a series of test signals to download for free and six pages of text explaining how they are used. Dave.

My TC-K611S has given years of service though I don't use it much now but about a month ago I tried to play a cassette and the head/pinch roller assy servos forwards but then does not engage and drops back. Any ideas what to look for? Limit switch not engaging? Dave.
