    I don't really go on here anymore but needed to vent somewhere. A guy screwed me over when buying a bike (not on here) e.g didn't post it when he said he did, bike was utterly f***** when it arrived even though it was described as 'mint' so spent more than i wanted fixing it and didn't contact me after numerous complaints. So decided to sell it as I don't ride it as much as I would like. Whilst looking up some info on the bike I found out that it is older than he said it was, which has really p***** me off as I thought I had finished all the bad news with that bike. Plus my lady friend has decided I don't exist anymore, I have naff all money atm, the weather is crap, I feel quite lonely and I'm not sure if I'm liking uni. I am usually quite chilled and don't get annoyed easily but all this has built up over the last couple of weeks and is getting to me bad and I don't know what to do.

  6. Leeds Met university accommodation and Music Technology.

    Hi, I'm hoping to go to Leeds Met next year to study Music technology. So far the University seems very good but I can't decide on which accommodation (I will be studying at the Headingly campus). I have visited the on site halls which are nice but far too expensive and I don't really want to be that near to the university itself. Has anyone stayed at Kirkstall Brewery Or the Opal 1&2 buildings? If so then what was your opinion on them and would you recommend staying there?

    Also has anyone studied Music technology at University? I know courses differ in different universities but how did you find the course and again would you recommend? I'm studying music at college at the moment and love recording/production but also really enjoy understanding how the technology actually works, so i believe music technology would suit me more than production.

    Cheers, Ben.

    Hello there! Nice to hear that you decided to put some of your tunes down

    Really like it as a tune, it gets me in a mood :wink2:

    Here are my personal thoughts on the track and what I would have done differently, hope it helps:

    Vocals: They sound nice and fitting for this genre, although I would use less reverb as it makes them sound a little "off" in some points.

    Guitars: They are a little muddy, and could get a little volume boost. They sound well played though so try cutting some low-mids to clear the muddiness. Also, double tracking makes a massive difference in guitars so it would be nice to record them twice and pan them hard left and right, you'll get a more powerful sound and leave space in the mid for the vocal.

    Drums: They sound programmed. Not always a bad thing but I thing that something more organic would go well with the track. A little tweaking with the velocities and room mics will make a huge difference.

    Nice work overall listened to it several times, hope to hear more from you guys :wink:

    All the best.

    We have been working on the track today, we have recorded some of the guitar parts again e.g the solo and added some more vocals plus added some violin parts as an experiment. The drums are programmed, when we have the time we will set up recording a proper kit. After this track is sorted we shall be recording more material. Thanks for the comment/advice :)

    Right then folks, i regret selling my old amp so I'm after a little practice amp just something to shove in my room and play about on! As i don't have a job anymore money is a bit tight so my budget isn't massive and neither is my room so doesn't need to be very loud. I was looking at the line 6 spider IV 15 in a local shop and it seems to be what I'm after I've had a look at some reviews and it seems pretty decent, just wondering if any of you guys have any thoughts on it? Or if you guys recommend anything else? Cheers Ben.

    I want to strip my guitar body down and spray it. Any one don't this before? How'd it turn out?

    I have recently stripped my bass it wasn't too hard, its best to do on a cheap guitar or guitar you don't want because it might go pear shape. My bass was £25 and the reason i bought it was to try stripping a guitar. Basically strip all the important bits from your guitar body e.g pickups, strings, volume and tone knobs, bridge etc (as my bass had a removable neck i took that off as well). Then i used a heat gun and once the paint starting to flake and crack i used a scrapey thing :P to scrape away all the crap then sanded down the wood starting with a course grain of sandpaper to a fine grain. It took a while but seems to have done the job well. When spraying just apply primer then the paint and then lacquer just like spraying a bike :) Hope this helps! I've got some pictures I'll put on later.
