ah yeah, that'll be in the middle of your 16 week half term break, hope you can spare the time from your marking.
Now let's not get aggressive about each other, and instead keep everything on topic :)

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

I couldn't thank them, my mouth was full.

Anyway, speaking of cocks: despite a massive cock-up and astoundingly poor service from Mainfreight, apparently the SVT is in their 'safe' hands.

Will never trade again.

Hmmm, well you are an expert on not lasting...

I am very keen on grabbing the little brother to this for smaller practices, but can only do that if someone buys my Mesa :(

The "Get Off My Lawn!" thread

True, although not many musicians would be happy for the public to mix the final version of their album :wink:

Re: The "Get Off My Lawn!" thread

It's a massive part of the work...don't forget that most novels take a year of pretty intensive work. Good writers will agonise over almost every word and piece of punctuation, and that's not for proofreading reasons. Spelling and grammar checks can't examine style, intentional 'mistakes' (thinking ...

Re: The "Get Off My Lawn!" thread

I know that technology has made new things possible - but I just am curious as to what they are, and speculative as to what will happen in reality. I just think it's a really complicated issue for such an old medium. As for book deals - that's kinda my point; if you had ten novel-to-film adaptations...

Re: The "Get Off My Lawn!" thread

Yeah but how many books are adapted for a film each year?

How many songs are included in movies, ads, TV shows, campaigns?

Re: The "Get Off My Lawn!" thread

Problem with self-publication is all of those steps involved in the proofreading, redrafting, editing stages - they are critical, and usually damned expensive. I really would hate to find that authors had started skipping those steps as a cost-cutting measure... You mean like hiring a recording eng...

Re: The "Get Off My Lawn!" thread

But they're established and well-loved authors - would you have seen them if they only had one or two books to their name? There's many years of work, experience, luck and sales from both of those guys, which is all very well. But it'd be extremely unlikely someone like Eowyn Ivey would be able to g...

Re: The "Get Off My Lawn!" thread

The thing is that with music, there are other opportunities to make money (gigs, merch). But with books, that is one person's (mostly full time) job and only real source/opportunity for income. They could do readings. :lol: That was a joke, right? $60 for a hardback?! Jeebus! The last one I bought ...

Re: Kemper Profiling Amp

cant be bothered writing again, so I'll repost something I posted somewhere else. Still uncertain about this. Seeing as it simply sends your amp signal through your cabinet and picks up the signal via microphone in front of your amp, it looks like a fairly technical match E.Q. Match E.Q is done all...
