Open Mic Testimonial for Richard (Close2u)

Yes and 38 sponsors and counting, so the potential number of bums on seats is 55 peeps. Oh and that doesn’t include the few “latecomers” who expressed an interest this week and aren’t on the graphics. As Lemmy said when he was Going To Brazil. MEGA !!!

But don’t let that be of any concern. :rofl:

Adrian. I am a little tickheaded… things runs at a very slow pace in my head :rofl:

The only thing i need to set in Zoom is «use original audio» then i am good to go?

Exactly it is quite easy and nothing further required. What I would do now I would create your own meeting on your Zoom and recorded it with Original Sound enabled on and off to see the difference. What you don’t want is noise cancellation as this will make your guitar sound bad, have a look the recording once finished will save onto your pc

With SG easing restrictions this week, and bars able to open late, it may be a case of “will I be back by 2am?”

Brian, can you put me down for the audience, hopefully I can make it. Thanks

It’s not the number that pleases me as much as how many first-time performers we will have :smiley:
There’s often a bit of line-up changes before the curtains go up.
@glpguitar has had to pull out :frowning_face:
@LievenDV will make it if he can.
Hopefully I won’t have to update the poster again.

Regarding the ‘audience’, I’ll be messaging everyone on the ‘sponsor’ side with a link for the OM soon. Don’t worry if you can’t make it live. The show will be recorded and should be up here a day or two later :smiley: There’s a chat function, but remember to keep your microphones muted during the performances.
@TheMadman_tobyjenner- time for your next benzo :laughing:

David are we going to have a cameo from Justin by any chance tomorrow? :wink: I am still hopeful he joins our generous rooster of performers one day! :smiley:

Sadly that is not likely … he has joined the almost 5 million who has tested positive for covid in the UK this week.

Oh shoot well there will be a next time, sorry Richard I asked David rather than you since it’s a party organised by Community in your honour so would look silly if I would ask you to invite guests over :laughing: hope Justin gets better soon!

Hang on it can’t be tomorrow I haven’t seen the multiple discussions on OBS, YT sound levels, re-routing via numerous software channels…ahh I see Toby mentioned it and is thankfully going old skool this time.

As ever I’ll be throwing in an 80s track that those who follow me slightly more closely will have seen me practicing…it’ll not sound quite as good in a non band situation but it’ll be fine. The other will be a normal late 60s/70s rock track again with a few tricksy moments to catch me out but will hopefully be fine! Given I’ll also be performing them in live OM on Sunday I thought it would be good practice.

Great to see so many performers and audience members. Also good to see so many relatively new players taking the plunge…fair to say it’s taken many of us old timers a long time to get to a live performance point.

That sucks. My wife has just tested positive and she is feeling a bit lousy. Hopefully Justin isn’t suffering too much.

I am, of course isolating from her…

11,000 km away!

(And it’s our wedding anniversary :frowning: )

Hope he’s doing fine, but honestly if I saw Justin’s face while playing I’d sh*t my pants :sweat_smile:

Oh yes I still remember first OM ever here and Justin just popping over to say hello in the middle of it when I was about to play. Obviously messed up most of it but hey ho go with the flow :sweat_smile:

Not so fast Moriarty !!

I might not be using Reaper this time and all the FX is either Aux looped or internal on the Xenyx AI but…OBS is back !! And I believe the lip sync issues are solved as well. Zoom now just getting the OBS video feed (no audio) and Zoom Audio is the Xenyx direct. All seems well but we’ll see in 24 hours when the green room doors open :wink:

Anyway good to see everyone is on form and your excess tensions and stress can be relieved by venting across Le Manche !

@brianlarsen were they the blue or the red ones ? Never could remember :rofl:
