Not trying to be a smart-arse either F, but it’s what I did for a living for the best part of 25 years as an “authorised person”, with some mind-bogglingly dull FCA qualifications and a fair few fundraises to my […]

I took the kids last year and this was our list. Best things for me were just soaking up the vibe, the buildings and 9/11 memorial around the old World Trade Center, skating in the park and Grand Central Station. […]

NY

I didn’t even know it did that – I just take a groove, strip it back, add my own fills and the job’s done. Will investigate!

I have two approaches.

If I’m just recording a scratch run through, I’ll either record piano or guitar, then a guide vocal, along to a click track. If I’ve finished the songwriting, I usually record a simple […]

Is that a Head plug-ins?

They’d be wise to modify the language used (to remove any element of offer, enticement or solicitation) and sign up with an FCA regulated Crowd Funding Platform.

If this gets shared any further, I suspect it’ll be the FCA that drops them a line.

Here’s what we said in recent similar threads:

Communicating an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity in breach of the financial promotion restriction in s. 21 FSMA – 2 years imprisonment and/or a fine on indictment.

Carrying on (or […]

No idea, but you have to be an ‘authorised person’ to make a financial promotion, the contents of any offer or inducement have to be approved by an authorised person and finally, after a century and more of […]

Quite a few FCA rules on financial promotions being broken there…

Wise words mate.

Ah. Yes re the curve. A live bouncing up and down thing, showing where your peaks and troughs are.

Yes yes yes on the Slate mastering stuff. Span is the only Voxengo EQ reference tool I know.

Some overlap with your approach, in terms of Apollo Twin and UAD plugins. I also use some Waves stuff, like their Vocal Rider, de-Esser and CLA Vocals. A tip from a pro was to (temporarily) add in maximum pink […]

Says the Steely Dan fan!

Fair enough. I never warmed to it or any of its tracks, no matter how often they appeared on subsequent live albums. Rush post MP – horrible.

Here’s one of many favourites, from when Lou Reed decided he actually fancied a bit of that fame and success stuff. The twin lead intro to Sweet Jane from the Rock-‘n’-roll Animal album is a thing of double guitar […]

I share your apparently contradictory musical tastes. But whilst Moving Pictures would give WWL a good run for its money, Signals is 80s synth-heavy, forgot to remember to write some decent tunes Rush, making the […]

I doubt a single Tory MP would follow her into the lobby for that dementia tax proposal now Tiggs. That unforced error cost her any ‘strong and stable’ rep and with it her entire election raison d’etre.
