@SgtColon having watched your AVOYP posts recently I’m sure you will do very well. Just relax and enjoy the moment mate. Remember all the seasoned players have been there where you are at the moment and all the newbies are rooting you on

Well a week to go folks, hope its all going well on the rehearsal front. I expect there will be the usual banter and leg pulling this week, as we run up to kick off. Folks joining us for the first time should take it all with a pinch of salt ! I think its way that we all deal with the nerves but also gets everyone in the mood for having fun when we hit the “stage”.
For me, I thought I was well in advance of where I usual am with a week to go. Songs sorted, tone sorted, levels sorted. I then used Zoom to record a rehearsal session last night for the first time since OM 5 and have crackles and pops all over the place, we are talking serious Rice Krispies. No issues with creating a video in OBS and uploading to YouTube to check Nerd Stats but now with Zoom aarrgghh !
Panic at the Disco. Gave up at 2300 last night but found an errant webcam who’s mic was in a ready state (I have 4 connected to the PC). Hopefully that is the culprit or I’ll be tugging cables in case I have disturbed something (used my JamMan looper with my Mustang’s FX loop just beforehand!). Where’s a good roadie or sound man when you need them.

Songs selected, rehearsals going as well as the usually do, which in my case has some loose correlation to how well the show will go on the night. I will also confess that I played the two songs at my local OM a couple of weeks back.
And while not going as far as Brian’s call for a ‘show’, I think I am going to stand up and play this time round … whoa!
As for the Rice Krispies … as somebody here oft says ‘keep it simples, peeps’ 
OK, not said exactly like that

Set up wise, its no different to the last Open Mic, so a bit of a mystery and all was cool then, as in no crackles at least. 
ie Mustang->AI->PC (Reaper->OBS->Zoom)
But I was also hearing some crackles when I brought up a YouTube tutorial last nights alongside everything else, suggesting some conflict somewhere. So powered PC down in case the soundcard was throwing a wobbly.
YouTube and other audio sounding good this morning, so I’ll bring the other elements in one by one later today and see how that goes. 
Maybe aim for Shreddied Wheat !
Good to hear your preps going well. I’m running to about 8:40 so will need to limit the rabbit, so I’ll happily let @brianlarsen take on the show tome role, with a 2 min song and 8 min stand up.

I really need to start thinking about this one someday too! Scary thought but with your experience on the stage I am sure you will be fine David!
As for me well I was very persistent to record a song and put on youtube before OM as lately it’s been songs I performed on OM that followed on and I noticed less people watch because probably they already sort of saw it!
So 2 days went down the drain to record it. Still week to go and now I can fully focus on my set. One should be okay with maybe few hickups along, the other boy oh boy buckle up cause I am going a bit over my head for this

‘Experience’ on the musical stage and me is a little bit of an oxymoron, Adrian. But heck, however it goes down, it’s all about showing up, having a go, and enjoying the moment. And in that regard I can’t fail

Consider yourself on board. I assume you are UTC -1 / CET in Norway ? I’ll send you message with all the required info. Let me know if you need help but should be straight forward.
Cheers
Toby
Yep. UTC-1 is correct
