			<description><![CDATA[ Occasionally I run a PA system for a few people down here.  My equipment has most of the basic gear I need now, so it&#39;s time to look at a few smaller
items.  So, DI boxes are on my mind at the moment, and I understand (I think) that I should use them to electrically isolate line level sources like digital
pianos, and line outs from amps. 
<br>
<br>
But, I&#39;m still a little unclear of all the times when I should, or shouldn&#39;t use a DI.

<br>
<br>
We&#39;re in the studio next week recording a BBC Radio 1 introducing session, I&#39;m not sure when it&#39;s going to be aired but I&#39;ll keep you informed.
I think it&#39;s going out on Radio 1 in Northern Ireland, but you should be able to stream from other parts of the world. We&#39;re doing 4 songs so expect
plenty of  D*A*M + Matamp noise all over the recordings. <img title="big grin"... ]]></description>

			<link>http://officialmatampownersclub.yuku.com/topic/3618/t/Cutting-lead-sound.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Wasn&#39;t sure where else to ask this so here goes.
<br>
<br>
Any ideas how to get a lead sound to jump forward in a band mix when an amp is already working hard and saturating and the front end already presented with an
od pedal.
<br>
Basically I use a pedal in front of an amp to give me good dirt chords and fuller parts but then I want the volume to jump forward significantly for a lead
line but wondering how to make that happen in a single channel single amp setup.

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve just completed my latest song. It is called &quot;Carrier&quot; and it chronicles the life of a man who is quarantined alone on an island for being
the sole carrier of a potentially species decimating viral strain.
<br>
<br>
Musically it features a lot of my new influences including honky tonk guitar licks, southern slide guitar, and a Dethklok-esque breakdown. There&#39;s also
some evidence of Black Metal ala Behemoth in there as well.

			<description><![CDATA[ I want to get a few sand bags, mainly for weighting down mic stands, but I can imagine they&#39;ll be useful for lots of things.
<br>
<br>
However, I cannot find a supplier.  Ideally I&#39;d like some I can fill myself, and with a strap or hook/clip to keep them in place.
<br>
<br>
Anyone know any suppliers?
<br>
<br>
Alternatively, I may get the missus to knock some up, but I don&#39;t know what type of material to use, so again suggestions would be welcome.

Any band want to release something on one side of a 12&quot; 33rpm vinyl?  (CD too, but I&#39;m not really concerned with that)

<br>
My band (its slow, heavy rock/doom...guitar is all Matamp!) Catatomic is about done recording what we planned as one side of a 12&quot; record.  It&#39;ll be
self released by us, we&#39;ve researched all the pressing details and things like that.  It&#39;ll be done right, and professional.  It&#39;ll be our first
official release.
