     mud flats and creeks stretch for miles and it is a haven for wading birds such as the curlew and spoonbill.

     I before you go on take a jazz hit from a creamy bong.
     
     
     
     the best advice ever! sorts us reet out before we play although if you're our bassist it takes about five hits before he reaches the desired plateau of prog-bass widdlerling.
     
     actually we all have slightly different routines involving weed, booze, hard drugs and/or non-alcoholic beverages as we house clean living types non drinkers, stoners, alcoholics and homosexuals but i can guarantee you the string section will usually be blitzed by the time we play this has led to some disasterous gigs in the past particularly when we were still a two piece and i ended up so drunk (we didn't play til half one in the morning and the concept of pacing myself had flown right out of the window) that i couldn't remember a single riff. the soundcheck was awesome though we can hold it together these days though cos we know our limits... honest gov!

   • A dutch man sent me this from Saturday. I have not viewed it yet. I have a feeling it's the politely received "Skills in Dem Place" by Trebuchet

     Can you tell that by our movements
     
     Yeah they were recording all the bands. We did not know this at the before we started. The chap recording us is going to contact us then send us the sounds. It will be released as "LIVE….Between the thighs”...or something

      yeah, messed me right up. I can't hear out of my left ear, which is why I stand on the right usually.

    • Pretty much. Some of them were a bit odd. And virtually all were Dutch.

      "2008 11 15 Bradford on Avon, UK. Zappateers Party.
      55.14 Mins, Aud, A
      
      Trebuchet were the 4th of 6 bands/performers that Saturday at the George in Bradford on Avon at the November 08 Zappateers Party. Despite there being no Zappa in the set, this 4 piece managed to tear the roof off the pub and good on 'em. The Secret Word for Tonight is PARTY LIKE CRAZY!
      
      Here's the tech bit for those who like it.........
      
      Lineage: Joe Meek small condenser JM32 Mics in an OTRF setup, feeding E-MU 0404 USB Preamp into hp nc6000 laptop using latest drivers and firmware (v1.3). Reaper software (v 2.51, Licensed) recorded and edited at 44.1KHz @ 24bit.
      
      The mics were approx 6 foot infront of the centre of the "stage", and levels were reduced so that it peaked at about 6dBFS (Softclip was enabled on the E-MU as a safetynet, but only cut in occasionally to tame a couple of peaks).
      
      The whole thing was increased by 3 dB to get close to 0dBFS on peaks.
      
      Only about 7 seconds of salvaging was required at 1.01 - 1.08 of the opening track when the bass came in and blew everything into Bristol. Here there is a high pass filter at 160Hz and a 2dB drop. You dont want your speakers in Bristol! (Unless you live there)
      
      Apart from the 7 seconds salvage, there is no eq, no compression and no other fx, tinkering or fairy dust anywhere. (I have left the opening gentle level rise as it was recorded - so watch out for your speakers at 1.01)
      
      Tracks were rendered as FLAC Level 8 with no dither.
