> How many people are thinking of showing up? Perhaps a list of the equipment (not too detailed!! please!!) you play so we can get an idea of what kind of line up/format we would have would be good. Hi Jonathan... I've left a message at the rehearsal space asking for available friday or saturday eve times... When I get a call back, I'll post that to the list with a call to arms from interested players. There's a GOOD amount of floor space at this place as well as a stage. Not using the stage and fanning out in a circle setup would probably accomodate 6-10 people with a fair amount of floor equipment. I'm talking about 4' x 6' sort of space per player... speakers might need to be elevated or added to the space equation... SIDE NOTE: Tomorrow night, Friday 4-7, I'm heading down to David Potter's studio to check out Perille's DJRND2. If anyone else is interested in seeing this unit and testing it, please speak up today so we can get you dialed in on the directions to David's house etc. We're going to get started around 7:00pm. > Could we/would we want to all go into one mixer, rather than dealing with separate amplifications, since there will probably be enough headaches and extension cables from all the gear as it is. This is especially the case if we intend to record it. I can bring a DATMAN, and lots of tape. There is a fairly large pa there which we could all give stereo feeds to... Sometimes it becomes really hairy with monitoring for individuals though... If we ALL get feeds to the main board and provide our own monitors that would work. House monitoring would probably be a mess... I've found it simpler sometimes to put out a pair of stereo mics in the room (or possibly more) and let everyone take care of their own speaker placement. It also localizes the various players sounds in the stereo field... I know that isn't the full-on stereo treatment most of us are used to, but it's not percieved as full mono either. It's a compromise which sometimes sounds great. -Miko > As previously mentioned, I play chapman stick, and trigger percussive loops on a SP-808, so I get a bass/lead/rhythm/ambient/percussion kind of thing going. bIz -----Original Message----- From: Mike Biffle [mailto:mbiffle@svg.com] Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 12:05 PM To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com; gnomesis@yahoo.com Subject: RE: SOT Loopy transportation, and Location was Re: bizarrepedalswasRe: Regeneration with Boomerang I'll call the hall manager and find an evening slot. I'll TRY to get a friday or saturday, and I'll book it for 7:00pm until ??? Maybe midnite? I'll report the available times in a call for players probably early next week. I'd venture that it will be at least a month away at the earliest... -Miko >>> "Javier Miranda V." <gnomesis@yahoo.com> 04/06 3:41 AM >>> That sounds like a great idea. Subject: SOT Loopy transportation, and Location was Re: bizarre pedalswasRe: Regeneration with Boomerang Miko I could rent rehearsal space here in Santa Cruz some evening for a free-for-all jam / party. It's not very swanky, but I believe it's electrically sound and big enough for 6-10 of us in a circle format... We'd HAVE to record it... -Miko
