with doog having drums and bass at his house, does this mean a full band at doogfest this year?

I would love to hit the skins but I think it might reaaally piss off his neighbours. It's Doog's call obviously.

i have a set of drum dampeners, not very rock and roll but would kill some of the sound no less.

It's just too much for the dogs, sorry. I've just been playing in my room with the dogs in the lounge with every door in the house shut, and even that carries a fuck of a lot.

And yeah, the neighbours- guitars are one thing, but a full band playing on a Saturday night down my road will result in very prompt police gatecrashers. And they never bring their own beer, the bastards.

any one play the fiddle?

Right Here.

We need a big brown XXX jug to blow into also. Do you think Morrisons sell them? They're quite northern.

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:44 am

they sell those big flagons of cheap cider, that near enough? you reckon morrisons will sell moonshine?

I guess a 3L of White Lightning might have to suffice..

what are you people talking about?

FRAN'S FORTIFIED WINE!

Fran · Post by **Fran** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 6:20 pm

I need to do another batch, only one bottle left of the Black Cherry.

Lolz, can you imagine Doogfest with everyone drinking White Lightning?

House burnt down, mike and euan scrapping on the front lawn, kim throwing up in neighbours flower bed, James.....

james would be on a lawn chair sipping pims and lemonade while the world collapses.

As a slight alternative to the 'invert' method of reducing phasing, you can try time shifting one of the tracks. Huamn ears can detect time differences as small as about 20ms, so if you were to shift one track 10ms or so, you can possibly reduce the phasing even more. If you're worried about it being less in time than before, consider that the sound waves will take different amounts of time to reach microphones different distances away from the sound sources (indeed, this is what causes the phasing) and aim to only move tracks small amounts.

You could even try and isolate the phasing source through careful listening. It would be difficult to do because the amount of sounds happening at one time will likely include several sounds at similar frequencies and it's possible that (for example) two different cymabs could create phasing by interacting at similar frequencies. If it does sound like there is one particular source, a certain cymbal or the snare or what-have-you, you can use your brain-smarts to work out how you could likely compensate for it.

To give an example of that last point, if a cymbal is phasing with two different mic sources, you could try moving to the track for the mic that is further away backwards in your timeline, or do the opposite to the closer mic. That would reduce the time difference between the two tracks for that particular sound source.

It's a little bit of a wonky explanation, and you seem to be getting satisfatory results with your current methods. I just thought I'd mention it as an extra way to help decude problems in case you come across something that you can't quite get right. And of course, knowing is half the battle.
