I get a £ sign even easier since my keyboard (on a PC) is set to UK standard--I did live there for more than 30 years! (It's uppercase 3 if anyone cares.) I just missed the fact that the OP was in sterling--I've got used to the majority on this forum being American.

Can someone post a link to the Alt + numbers = what please. :) I know a few but a key would be great.
 
Whats the key for alt.pr0n ? Oh nevermind I see it :eek:

What we need is a Global Currency!
 
666 and all of that kinda stuff !!

It will be a new world! All in order. If we just got tattoos on our hand with an account number we wouldn't even need to carry cash!

And if there was just one government we wouldn't have wars! man i'm surprised no one has thought of this before...

uhhhhhh......what is this called? and why would you want to do that?
It was part of a season called "Strange love" or something like that, a series of documentaries about the dark side of sex and sexuality. I wasn't looking out for it but chanced upon it. It was fascinating though. As far as why, they had their reasons ! One was gay and didn't feel he needed them, one was in constant pain because his were too tight. It was a little too graphic. I spent most of the programme wincing.

I think it was called Three Men And No Babies.
Of course, some of them could've already had kids.......

Let me just stop you right there.
I wish I had. Unfortunately, Pandora's box opened and I can't wipe it from the hard drive of my mind.

Plasmapunk, sorry for the sidetrack. If nothing else, you could use it as inspiration for when you need to hit the high notes.
 
Wow, i dont mind the side tracking it makes me feel popular.

On the subject of if £250 a day buys you a day in a pro studio we recorded at...

Fairveiw Studios Hull (check em out would be interested in any opinions)

The engineer John Spence was a great guy and has worked with The Specials, Def Leppard, The Beautiful South, Happy Mondays, Terrorvision to name but a few. It's only half an hours drive from home too.
I will be taking any bits we get recorded as wav via the Mbox to let John hopefully bring them to life. Although i do understand shit in = shit out and having read the piece here on the forum about mics and i also realise i need to do my research, but i think finding this forum has certainly been a big step in the right direction though i wont be cutting my balls off to hit the high notes...ouch!
 
Perhaps you would do well to purchase a Zoom R24 first to work on your skills.

I like this one. Besides, it can be a control surface anyway when you do want to step up to a computer program.

Besides that, I will just sound like a parrot here: That's a hefty bill to pay for a studio, but when you add up all the hardwear to do a good recording instead of just a demo, plus the fact that all you need to do is setup and play - it probably is cheaper for good result to practice your chops tight enough that you can get in and out of there for most of it in a couple of days anyway. Extra time might be needed for vocal tracks or layered extra guitar twiddly bits but; Compare that price, and the result, to the cost of 16+ microphones (minimum $100 each for just the Studio-Mallet 57s), really nice amps, monitors, a huge board, a well constructed room, and so on - and you get a pretty good deal.

If a mediocre 'demo' quality is all you want, which works fine for some kinds of music), it is nice to have a home setup and for that: that Zoom thingy - or a comparable piece, plus a computer DAW (I think its bundled with one if you get one new anyway), amp simulators etc, and a few extra mics will do you okay for the cost of a couple days in the studio. It's gonna take a while to get your technique down though, and still wont be the quality of a good studio 'room' with top-of-the-line mics on nice amps and an experienced engineer.
