They glow in the dark and appear to move.

I must have it but I won't really buy it.

Huh. I really like that! The price isnt too bad, even.

skysidhe · 02-07-2010, 08:01 PM

yeah,

I wonder if it REALLY appears to move like it says?

The lighted base is probably the key it seems.That's an extra charge of course.

Pico and ME · 02-07-2010, 08:02 PM

I like that they look like jellyfish, Its OK if they don't move.

So far, still lusting after the KindleDX, not sure how much of a real improvement over the current Kindle1 it would be, I mean it is pretty much just for reading books which I'm doing absolutely fine on the Kindle1 ... Maybe if they drop the price point, though.

That one's a Yamaha, but I'm not particular about brands as long as they have what I need. I'm after effects on my next board. The one I use now has a shitty reverb (more like a sophisticated, too many knobs echo effect). Sounds pretty good but I like the old spring type reverb. I also love pan, flange and chorus. My current board also wants to clip my amp at times on high freqs. Juju's vocals clip fairly frequently unless I down the volume some. I'm just going to get a new one like I REALLY like and use the old one on my monster stereo.

Elspode · 02-08-2010, 08:34 AM

Isn't clipping usually a function of amp power, rather than anything in the board?

What sort of music are you two doing? Got any samples?

Clodfobble · 02-08-2010, 01:37 PM

Oh I've heard it Els, it goes like this: bow-chicka-bow-wow...

Yes. But if I had more control on the board the vocals wouldn't overdrive the amp to the clip point. I can sing full throttle and never clip. Juju has a superlative soprano voice and she clips regularly... of course I man the board and rectify. We're working on duets and I don't have the time to be fucking with the board. The board I'm running only has two mic channels with a shared EQ. So the only way to avoid the clip is via volume, which fucks with harmonics in a duet situation. With separate EQ controls I could level out at full power on both mics. Hope I'm making sense.

I do classic rock/country and she does the same, but she really excels in spiritual/blues music. We are currently working on a vid to post here. Coming soon.... I promise.

I really need to invest in a compression unit (among other juicy joys of equipment) but we have so many other things going on right now we're kind of having to make do at present. Getting a new house and my goddam denture issue as well. I see a bright future in our music careers. These things take time and practice practice practice....money money money... patience patience pat...well you know the drill.

True, true, true....but we will master EVERYTHING together as a team! That is as long as I behave! :p (private joke.)

I think you'll be a team as long as you misbehave.

capnhowdy · 02-11-2010, 06:03 AM

Yep. Good behavior can get mundane at times.
