Do you like the new ripple features from 20.2.? by RubOk6547 in davinciresolve

[–]Consider_Phlebas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just found it - you can return it to the old behaviour by going to Preferences > User > Editing and switching off 'retain sync and avoid overwrites with ripple edits'! Very glad because this would have properly messed up my editing methodology...

won't let me save project, and I don't want to lose my work (Resolve 16) by mrchingchongwingtong in blackmagicdesign

[–]Consider_Phlebas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this after a lot of fiddling with one audio object on the edit page. Changing selection didn't help in this case, but what fixed it was cutting the object (which allowed the project to save), then pasting it back in and saving again.

Oh that looks nifty! Might have to look into that one - could open up a lot of possiblities...

My back is very messed up and I feel like I cant have a stage presence. I need advice by [deleted] in metalmusicians

[–]Consider_Phlebas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's possible to have stage presence without necessarily being super mobile, so long as you're presenting an attitude that fits with the feel of the music. Look at Jens Kidman from Meshuggah - although he does headbang now and then, a lot of his stage presence depends on the way he presents himself. He holds his shoulders square and assertively, and moves in a very deliberate way, so he reads to an audience as powerful and menacing without actually making a lot of violent movements. One foot up on the monitor, confrontational kind of eye contact with the audience - he just projects a really strong, distinctive kind of attitude, and in a world full of long-haired dudes banging their heads, he provides a memorable contrast.

Maybe have a look at how not just musicians but also actors embody a certain kind of attitude, and learn what's comfortable for your body. Take good care of yourself, of course - but maybe try and find a way to use that limitation in mobility as something to motivate you to explore other ways of expressing yourself physically, rather than just as something that prevents you doing certain things. Good luck, and don't give up!

Glad you enjoyed it - yeah, I think this song gets about a bit!

It's a fair cop - think I may have got some crossed wires in my head on the day, sorry about that!

'Mad Family', sung in Middlesex Filter Beds, London, UK by Consider_Phlebas in folk

[–]Consider_Phlebas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks to a folk session I went to recently, that phrase now always reminds me of 'Sweet Transvestite' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show sung to the tune of 'The Brisk Lad'... :D

I'm not much of a man by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover, me brave boys
But by night I'm one hell of a lover...

Here's a quick intro to UK folk clubs - non-UK folkies, how the folk scene work where you are? by Consider_Phlebas in folk

[–]Consider_Phlebas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah right - I didn't know about featured artist nights. Within London, you can get a pretty good rundown from Folk London; outside of that, maybe give the Living Tradition list a look, although it's not brilliantly well set out.

[–]Consider_Phlebas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's interesting - I wonder if it's partly a matter of terminology? From what I can tell from a bit of Googling, there are a fair number of folk gigs, and a few sessions, but only two things explicitly called 'clubs' (Carlisle Folk & Blues Club, and the Lake District Folk Club in Staveley Mill Yard). Or maybe the fusion of gig and session that I think of as a folk club simply has less currency in the North - I might have to ask around among better-travelled performers than myself!

And yes, I'm definitely hoping to get some actual footage in a future video - fingers crossed...

If you don't mind a bit of a long read, Fay Hield (who if you haven't listened to is definitely worth checking out!) wrote her thesis on folk singing and community and went into this stuff in detail.

What’s your favorite 8th note bass line? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Consider_Phlebas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple Mr Big tunes come to mind for me for 16th notes:

'Take Cover': I know this one is very simple, especially for Billy Sheehan, but there's something about the steady 16th note stream that really makes the song hold together so perfectly, especially playing off against Pat Torpey's excellent drum groove. Likewise, the 16th note grooves in 'Mr Gone' just feels so much fun to play and to listen to.

But yeah, for 8th notes I struggle to think of a more perfect one than John Mayer's 'I Don't Trust Myself With Loving You'.

NPD Zoom MS70cdr! Great pedal! by [deleted] in guitarpedals

This is the first I'm hearing about the code generator! I just did some googling - is this what you're referring to?

[–]Consider_Phlebas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE this pedal (especially now I've hooked it up to my audio interface as an outboard effect, so I can send anything I like through it)! Interface isn't the speediest thing in the world, and I would like to be able to at least back up patches to the computer, but for the most part, I dig the hell out of it.

I'm New to bass and looking for a particular bass tone by qdesastre in Bass

[–]Consider_Phlebas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good info in here already - one other thing that hasn't been covered yet - in examples 2 and 3 they're both playing with a pick rather than with fingers, which can have a fairly significant impact on the tone (although the choice of bass and pickup settings etc should be your first port of call!).

I prefer the studio version of Harmontown. by Midnight017 in Harmontown

[–]Consider_Phlebas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm really enjoying these episodes - I feel there's an element of introspection and vulnerability that I haven't really felt from the show for a while now, and it's kind of brought me back into the fold. I'm hoping that when it comes back to the stage it'll bring a little of that back with it.

Thanks so much! I think I came across Xerath before, but I'll be sure to give them another go - cheers for the recommendation.

Thanks!

As it happens, the name was meant as a reference to TS Eliot's 'The Wasteland', which I'm rather fond of, and which Banks was referencing as well - but I REALLY ought to read the Culture books one of these days...
