i practice vocal technique a lot lately. i sing often, working on tonality, control, and range. its difficult. much harder than just screaming or talkin' dirty

gaslight 05-05-2009 11:42 PM

I don't really practise it much myself. Singing well requires a lot of dedication and I don't have the time to put into it unfortunately. I wish more people were good at singing, because than I wouldn't have to put up with a sh[size=2]it[/size] ton of abysmal vocalists who just scream unintelligbly and think it's cool.

Well, gotta be good at your job.

4) set the mic as high as you can on your stand

Aside from the obvious of forcing the vocalist to stand up straighter, why?

gaslight 05-06-2009 03:43 AM

Unless your stand is much taller than your singer. Then you'll need a step ladder.

I'm not totally sure on this one, but I think it allows your throat to to open wider, maybe easing tension on the vox chords? Meh.


And for everyone's information, mixing on monitors is so much cooler than mixing with head phones.

fatbandit 05-06-2009 09:02 AM

Totally have a CD with the first mixes on in my CD player right now

Bass_swede 05-06-2009 10:11 AM

Hey guys, I haven't been logged in here for over a year and I haven't posted for ages. Does anyone remember me?


I hope you all have spotify because here's some great jazz from Sweden: [URL]http://open.spotify.com/track/6ItDAK2sUGIJIay4Zke3QJ[/URL]

Anyone heard of The Stoner?

FunkMetalBass 05-06-2009 10:22 AM

Spotify? What's that? No, I've not heard of The Stoner. What is it?


Mornin', Cas.

Here are some morning lulz relating to Dave's boobs comment last night:

Spotify is a way of streaming music for free. The Stoner is a great band http://www.myspace.com/thestonermusic I recommend "Satan i Uppsala" (Satan in Uppsala). Uppsala is the town where I go to uni.

gaslight 05-06-2009 11:29 AM

Pretty sure I remember you bass swede.

FunkMetalBass 05-06-2009 11:55 AM

Gaslight, I think I remember you.

You were the guy that had his first 5,000 posts in record time, like 3 months or something insane.

gaslight 05-06-2009 11:58 AM

Haha really? Sounds likely.

fatbandit 05-06-2009 12:06 PM

Wasn't that Doug?

Anyway, so if I order something from a company that says 'orders received by 2pm will be dispatched same day' at 10pm at night on Friday with 'next day delivery', I'd expect to receive it two working days later. Would I be an arsehole to send a douchey email to them asking for a postage refund because its now Wednesday night and it hasn't come yet?

gaslight 05-06-2009 12:10 PM

Hmm. I'd give them Thursday.

fatbandit 05-06-2009 12:29 PM

Thursday would be 3 working days -_-

FunkMetalBass 05-06-2009 12:56 PM

It depends. If they shipped it out on time, they aren't to blame. Politely ask them when it was shipped out. If they say they they haven't sent it yet, bitch away!

fatbandit 05-06-2009 01:11 PM

I got an email today saying the order was 'completed', which i assume means posted.

Bass_swede 05-06-2009 02:08 PM

[QUOTE=gaslight;17226096]Pretty sure I remember you bass swede.[/QUOTE]

Great :) It's funny how all the regulars still are here. Except Gav, what happened to him?

fatbandit 05-06-2009 02:17 PM

I'd hardly say ALL the regulars are still here? Some of them... Am I even a regular from back then? Hah o_O



So I got to work today and needed the toilet pretty bad, so I had to go. Then I realised that I'd been doing it wrong all along - why did I ever take a morning dump at home? I should have always done it at work. That way I get paid to poo. This has been a revelation in my life.

burtonbassist_102 05-06-2009 02:24 PM

haha. yeah. then you can take a little extra time in there, because hey, sometimes it takes a long time.

Hah, true, I mean, there's only familiar faces, barely any new people.

I work 8-10 hour days and I make sure to eat a BIG lunch.

Double the poo, double the pay.

Life is sweet.

Welcome to the club. :thumb:

FunkMetalBass 05-06-2009 03:40 PM

Bass Swede, I think I remember you. I was fairly n00by back in the day, so we probably didn't converse much, but welcome back to MF, dawg.

FunkMetalBass 05-06-2009 03:41 PM

Omg triple post!!!!!

burtonbassist_102 05-06-2009 04:00 PM
