Re: NVA Blog

Paul Forgive me but something doesn't add up. The national living wage is £11.44 per hour. If it takes 100, hours to make them, then the labour cost is at least £1144.00. Given a 2m set costs £600,00 per side, that leave £56.00 for materials and overheads. Am I missing something? Yes, Paul said 10 ...

Re: Compression

There is a place of judiciously applied compression, female vocals can benefit where a singer tends to drop the volume in some passages, trained singers are less prone to this so don't need compression.

Have people just forgotten how to sing properly or are they just not bothered? Probably the latter :snooty: I have a friend ...

Re: Compression

The Bluetooth/Spotify generation are the reason for the Compression - and they accept it as 'normal'. :snooty: Do they ever listen to live music? It is dynamic and this is part of the attraction. No need to go to a concert, just find a street busker. Preferably a street busker, compressors are used...

Re: Compression

https://www.itwriting.com/blog/91-the-loudness-wars-why-many-cds-sound-bad.html This article explains the problem very well. It must be around 15 years old and things have got worse since, where popular music is concerned. A friend who, in his younger days, ran a recording studio always told me, if...

Such a wonderful illustration of government thinking. Completely misses the point that he also reduced employment to zero too.

Looks like a great location Paul and rather central not far from Peterborough and the motorway network.

Re: Jokes & Funnies

I've got 5 pedals - of which 3 are echo/loopers. Probably explains why I constantly repeat myself repeat myself. You're not repeating yourself enough to get a Top 10 Hit. :grin: And your words are making too much sense. :idea: Nah! There are only two compressors, nothing like enough for "moder...
