Behind the Green DAW is... A BIG brand named version of a simplistic ubiquitous program that can be subsumed by the BIG brand name's flagship progarm IF you buy both. Well, you can't have that but we've got... and... ...a baby's arm holding an apple. (with thanks to Free Waybill)

I just watched a vid of The Tubes from 1975. the guitarist with the Flying V could be the gurning guitarist of that & any other century. It was particularly disconcerting when he was also singing - it came across like watched a 1960's dubbed japanese serial.

Hello folks, I've been using my recording space for about 13 years. Recently I did a bit of a sort out as I had to remove a broken down irrepairable upright piano that was a) unusable & b) causing some resonance in the room. I've finally taken the time to measure things Attached &/or below is a...

Below is a set of lyrics that resulted from a TV program I watched. A story in which serious wrong was done to individuals but to which "the law" could not respond effectively. Someone, discretely, took a different law into their own hands. This wasn't a western or a shoot 'em up but an semi...

I'm a slow learner & don't trust my ears so it was grteat that I doscovered, through some research on this and other parts on the net, that a power chord can overlay or be overlain by a minor or a major chord with no problem. It seems that the 5th is indetermiante and will take on the character...

Hello Folks. Og late my bass (Vantage from about 1981) has been buzzing when I plug in. No matter the device I plug into or the cable I use. I can, accoasionally, stop the noise by putting pressure on the cable pulling it up & keping the tension by wrapping it behind the shoulder strap. Today...

Now, I've posted my silly little love song with my silly little video but I have to amit that I WANT ONE OF THESE! D'AccorD Since I've been loving you cover (Led Zeppelin) - YouTube Now, if I had a full band, the chops to play my own stuff well AND a gig I might have a chance but until then...

Here's a new video of an old Pygmy Beat song. It's just my usual clomped together style but has pictures of terry, Kim & I included: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaE4CDkLNO0 What happened to the embedding facility?

Hello folks, I have a Marshall Superbass MkII. It's great for bass and guitar particularly now that I have a 4 x 12 cab for use when playing guitar. The Superbass is a meaty 100w but doesn't have a gain stage or master vol - just a vol control for each of the two channels (both clean). To get a...

I record in a downstairs room. It's 3.6m x 3.4m & 2.45m high. Two sides are external walls (gyprock then 1 thickness brick) the other two are internal gyprock walls - one against a small corridor and the other has a sitting room on the other side. Directly upstairs is a bedroom. Along one of...

I keep asking myself and a new answer pops up each time. Currently It's My Day is hovering in my frontal lobe.

As it says - this dribbled out of my fingertips last night. Stream of Consciousness - but a slightly sick subconsciousness if that's the case. Upon rereading I've noted there's a bit of a "Life During Wartime" feel to the verses in this one. The story develops & becomes pretty much in your face...

If it's at too low a volume it's not been properly mastered. There are a bundle of things you can do: Almost any free wav. editor will allow you to "normalise" the file - take it to max available vol given the dynamics of the file. That's not a great option. Almost any recording software will...

I had another play last night - all seems good. I have the cab, (yeah Ido with the stanted section at top), on a milk crate. I read your responses and given that the room I'm in has a tendency to build up bass, (it can hang in there for quite some time actually so I'll HAVE TO get a bass trap or...

Today my 2nd hand marshall 4x12 arrived. I decided to get it so that I could get a more guitar sound when recording, (I'd been using a single cone 200w bass cab previously). I had my Marshall 100w Superbass MkII worked on just before Xmas so I was looking forward to introducing the two Marshall...

Hello Folks, I had a play with my Superbass MkII yesterday - mic'd it up for recording for the 1st time since removing an attenuator from the set up. It's a lot happier since it was serviced, (replaced & rebiased three tubes - one of which was shorting - that's been sorted too and a general look...

In Australia we have a govt. funded national radio/multimedia organisation with a charter to address "youth" issues & interests. I copied the text included below from the help section of Triple J's Unearthed Site. They encourage participation in music by any one interested, not just new &...

Here's the video for our latest track. As usual it's just cobbled together from images and videos found via a search engine. Thanatogenous by Pygmy Beat Augmented.wmv - YouTube The volume is pretty loud & the flick is supposed to HD. Created using Video Pad Video Editor as I was frustrated...

Hello Folks, Ido1957 posted the mix of this song a couple of weeks back. Since then the song has been mastered. There are two versions. There is no competition: just alternate versions each of which has its own nuances that make it too good to not keep. It is rude of me to have...
