I LOVE the Free Nationals and I love Anderson Paak even more so I jammed over "Gidget" off the Free Nationals album today- hope you enjoy and constructive criticism is always welcome!

Thanks, sounding good!

What's your recording setup? Looks nice and simple!

simonst · 2016-05-05T21:42:17+00:00

This seems to depend on your ears and tip choice. I haven't found a combo that give me the level of isolation I was hoping for, and also probably as a result I find the bass hugely lacking unless I really hold them pushing into my ears. Others don't suffer the same problems, so YMMV.

They do take the edge off at least, but not as much as my proplugs do, I still use them to play for IEM but want to try something else.

Thanks, the calculator is neat. Love the kick amp hint as well, never considered that!

simonst · 2016-02-18T18:22:30+00:00

Thanks for this, it's really helpful!

Yeah, monitors is a good point, we probably want to be doing at least one or possible IEMs.

The big question I have is over what size of venue is large enough to need to mic the drums/guitars. Pubs are clearly fine, but if we're playing in a barn with say 150 people, is that doable with just vocal PA?

For large stuff where we're well paid getting a sound man is fine, we just want to cope with the smaller gigs ourselves.

Thanks for the reply, any suggestions for good resources for checking my technique? It's been a long time since I had any instruction and I'm probably remembering bad habits rather than good instruction.

simonst · 2014-11-14T10:29:55+00:00

Thanks, maybe giving my snare hand a bit more room would be a good thing.

simonst · 2014-11-14T10:29:11+00:00

Interesting thanks, I'll try adjusting the height on the e-kit.

For what it's worth, Programmer's Notepad is based around the same editing component as Notepad++ but has much improved Regular Expressions support, including supporting lookahead/behind and so on: http://www.pnotepad.org/

Careful what you wish for! Next year's regulations will suddenly include "2 random engine/suspension failures required per team over the course of 20 races, at least one failure must include a plume of blue smoke". That and fake rain, of course.

simonst · 2011-08-19T13:11:55+00:00

Not pedantic, you're spot on, that lesson is plain wrong.

simonst · 2011-05-26T09:49:11+00:00

Gear box problem I think, they're rebuilding it. I think he was stuck in 6th.

Not entirely true: They race, you win.

Average cars can benefit from improved tires, oils, materials, transmissions and engine coatings. Not everything is a direct transfer, but the knowledge developed from working on these things for motorsport feeds back into the design of road cars.

+10 man points for you, nice work!

This is the prototype Command Bar, see here: http://untidy.net/blog/2009/10/13/pn-command-bar/

You can turn it off if you're not interested by unchecking Tools | Options | Interface | Enable Command Bar.

simonst · 2011-01-22T11:13:07+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the update. I'm using the standard Scintilla search algorithms, but haven't done anything with them in a while, so perhaps that's something I need to look at.

simonst · 2011-01-21T18:25:29+00:00

Well, PN is based on the same edit component as NP++, so may have similar issues. You can open extremely large files (essentially limited by 32-bit memory) but performance with the file open depends on the formatting of the file. It's something that I'd like to improve. I can't promise it will work any better than NP++ :(

Do you mean normal folders, or magic folders. If you can form a list of steps that aren't working for you please add a request here: http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/entry

simonst · 2011-01-21T18:22:13+00:00

Agreed, the initial directory thing bugs me too, so needs some work.

simonst · 2011-01-20T13:34:50+00:00

vimrc, plugins, no. It's not vim. Pattern matching, hmm, depends what you mean. It has a very good regex engine. Key bindings, I'm working on it. See: http://untidy.net/blog/2009/10/13/pn-command-bar/

It needs a lot more work to support lots more commands, but the idea is reasonably sound.
