h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Some people really know how to ruin a good ing!!

A copy would be great mate! And a good excuse for a drinkie.

I'll see what I can do, given that my second VCR is around 12 years old.

How's the this evening?

Created any Alex moments yet?

I'm watching (and occasionally crying to) Moulin Rouge in the lounge with CUP so can't chat!

A fantastic Movie, and what a doll!

I had the soundtracks but lent them to a mate, and still waiting for them back

And Sabine ?

Only decent Movie Ewan's done!

the bass is back. With ten billion times more bass and ten billion times more Jazz-master style trebble than I thought possible I must* must* buy one of these neat little Bass EQ boxes, yamaha I think it is... apparently they're about £75 new Guest/handy man has just picked the washburn up from the studeo, muttering something about how lazy I am in having fitte dthe Floyd rose but failed to set the intination up properly strange actually... bought the new trem for it last time he was here, fitted it myself but lost the will to live with the stupid fiddly method of altering the intination he's more patience and expertize in such things than me Just pumped the marshal up a bit and ran the Guild through it I've nearly* changed my mind about that guitar....Still think £2K is a lot too much for a guitar of the electric variaty, but its really got a loverly loverly sound.... pity about its balance, bit loaded weight wise towards the right hand side so it doesn't always sit totally comfetabably on ones lap... damn its heavy too beer? someone say beer? whisky? someone say whisky? red wine? who said red wine? should I make biriani tonight?

Roy, your liver called and asked for a breather.

My liver's had a breather - today's been milk & water all the way. Not in the same glass, of course.

quiet tonight...

Innit just. You're right you know, the intonation on a Floyd Rose is a pain. In fact everything about setting up a Floyd Rose is a pain. I'd still like a guitar with one fitted though!

Wheeeeee - bong - whippee - whippee -whyang.

etc.

You can buy my loverly yamaha pacifica with the custom picups off me when/if I get together enough money to buy the strat I want actually I'd love to own one of these guild things... but not at the kinda price they seem to be actually I'm gona log out I think tune the guild and do some recording about time I settled down and actually got some tunes finished

I'm getting all excited about the Cubase bundle and PC - I can't really bring myself to do anything with the Cubase LE on this lappy.

I need to sort out some sort of desk. I'm contemplating a couple of drawer units and a large lump of wood: way cheaper than pre-pack stuff.

I dunno, I got some pretty reasonable and nice desk type affairs from Staples including the giant just abig desk in teh front room which is as solid ... as a really solid thing I'm still ahving trubble getting a decent guitar sound recorded, its the main thing holding me up in getting stuff done, I've a fair few amp mods that will do a half decent distortion overdrive type thing, but not a nice clean blues sounding kinda tube warm thinggy vaguely close though so I might actually do a bit of recordign some time soon that I don't then immediately scrap away Ooops! think I might have put a 'dink' into the headstock of the guild

ooo yeh, and so you've going to get a new PC? whats the spec on it man, where you getting it from? how much? spec? Cubase full home thinggy version? I can't justify getting a full version of sonar until I've at least managed to get some recordings finished with what I've got

E6300 dual core processor, 2 gig ram, 250 gig hard drive (I've already got a second external drive which I'll take from the lappy), Windoze Media Centre with a remote control, Freeview card and stuff, 19" monitor (which I'll upgrade when 22" monitors are cheaper so I can ditch the telly), all from an online place that build 'em as you want 'em and don't fill 'em with Norton nonsense!

The Cubase is bundled with a 4 input USB interface (with, by all accounts, rather sweet mic preamps) and is the cut-down Cubase 4. Oddly the interface bundle with the SL3 to Cubase Studio 4 upgrade costs £50 less than Cubase Studio 4 on it's own. Go figure.

I might have a look at Stables but need something bigger than a normal computer desk - there's a telly, amp, DVD recorder and various other bits that need to go on it.

Oye! Can't you Dodgy Geezers start playing some proper gear?

Bass Guitar!

Think they are Iron Barrage Balloon next, (aka L*d Z*ppl*n)

or Crimson Rhodes! (P*nk Fl*yd)

or, Diety forbid, (that's for the PF!)

*That's for the Profanity Filter Not P*nk Fl*yd*

Situation Normal? (St*t*s Q**)

But then it's HooToo YouTwo!



The name for the Band!!



HTYT!

HooToo, You Too!

Perfick!

Get on it guys!




*Bye Bye see you in the pre-mod *

That's Hi Tee Why tee!

If you wish!

Oh! I'll just crawl back under a fjord!

Have you been drinking?

BTW: slagging The Zep is not tolerated around these parts!

At one point I was getting right into soft synths but now I seem to use the PC as a glorified multi-track recorder. Hey ho.

I'll agree with you, if you stick to LZIV!

But you'll be telling me that band named after the first of the Bible are god too!

I'll stick with

ELP
