Meet Daisy and Ermintrude, little Fostex PM04 Active Monitors acquired from a piss artist on ebay who got pissed and painted em.  Mine for £52, took a week to get here. Currently plugged in to my Pod but readily available for my interface.
4 inch drivers packing quite a punch.
I might be able to hear the bass a bit clearer now.

Microphone

okay, you know the shure SM58 stopped working after 2 weeks (Brown Sugar). I went back to the guy and said it stopped working and he replied tough luck. So i contacted him again and said I was sending it to Shure for them to check it over and if it turns out to be fake I'd get ebay on to him. he refunded. I still have it.
I rang shure uk and they charge £25 to check them over. They could sell me a new one for 37% less than retail plus £12 post plus the post my end and the £25. a bargain....not. So i bought another red5 Audio condenser but the model up from the one I already had. Its an RV8. Thats been on the Starting over recording and the new train wreck one (with the RV6). they sold it £20 cheaper cos i had an RV6 already
I'm conidering the SM58 copy £40 as i like the easy way i can hook it up without a stand. We will see.

Runaway Train (Wreck?)

Here is the very first 1 day, very few take collaboration video. Think of it as almost live........

Instructions

Mike, you add your acoustic and upload, bin or otherwise the Runaway stuff. My vid will need editing on account of the gaps being deleted. Do this when you feel like it.
You play acoustic on ringo's song, i will see if electric rhythm fits. I think you should re-record with better mic placement

EZDrummer

Just trying out a narrative post.
EZDrummer my arse, more like my brain hurts drummer. No idea how you go about setting this up so you know someone has posted.  Ah well i'm rambling now.
I just invited Julie to keep us up to date with her fairy cake making. Fwit will be online soon.

Kinell, FFS, Balderdash If this works, i was going to ask if someone wanted to contribute a bass and 2nd acoustic. If so I'll add drum fills, etc

Demo - Runaway Train, Soul Asylum

If any one would like to contribute bass and 2nd acoustic, i will redo the drums so theres a fill here and there.
