Cheers Andy, much appreciated. 🎼

Glad you like it, cheers! 👍🎼

Well, Caernafon has the castle, Bangor has the University. I think most places were busier back then, than they are now, possibly!

I record whatever i need in Logic, then save the file as a wav and then send it via usb to the 505.

@@georgekempson670 505 boss looper? Im gonna use ableton as ive got soundcraft note pad mixer interface built in that tricky with what lead goes into what as iv e seen on line instructions

Yes, RC505 looper. The usb cable from the 505 to computer. A hard drive appears on the desktop, which contains the wav files that i have added. You can add or remove the files, then send the files back to the 505. Took me a while to work it all out but with help from the online pdf manual, i eventually understood how it worked.

@@georgekempson670 just been on it now love the fx .Wish they was about in the 00's. As my timing wasnt 100 % being better and used to the guitar .

Plenty of parking Daren, close to the entrance. It isn't actually that small. The entrance takes you into the bar, which is quite small but from there you go into the room where we play, which is not a bad size...i don't mean Roni Size. 😆 Anyway, it's on my doorstep, so all being well, i'll be going again, might get to see you. 😉 🎹

George Hare, who filmed the footage, did indeed go out quite early on the the morning. His way of thinking was to film as much as he could whilst it was still pretty quiet, then go back in the afternoon and film whilst it was busy and plenty of people about, so as to show a comparison. It's not quite like that anymore and i doubt if it ever will be, what with the advent of online shopping and the council in their wisdom, increasing the rents and rates which has the effect of driving the shop keepers to set up their own online businesses. I did have a thought that the same architect was employed throughout the nation, to design the same centres, as they look very similar these days. Cheers Richard.

Thanks Jaed, i'm not sure what i would be doing without music in my life. 👍 🎼

100%.............getting rid of the wellfield.....big mistake....big thing going back to go "down" town on a Sat etc.......Antoniazzi,s cafe in the corner.........everybody went there...........

Yeah, i moved here in 1988 and it was a very busy place as you might expect, being a uni city. It is indeed in a rather sorry state but that's local government for you. Nadolig Llawen. ☃️

I beg your pardong?... Ah right, da studio innit? The studio in the other place was ideal for recording bands due to it's size but after around four years i was getting burnout, so ended up recording podcasts for a company in Zurich, much less stressful.

Thanks Jan. It's good to have the studio up and running again, i've rather missed it. xx

Thanks Andy, need to get it sorted, then i can start enjoying life again. Take care mate. 😉 🎼

Thanks Lisa, after near on 8 months without the studio, it's brilliant to get it back again. 🎼

Cheers Lisa, yeah it's been an odd year or so, what with the eviction and then trying to find somewhere to live, the flat is brilliant. Been waiting for some heart surgery, that should have been on the 25th but it's been cancelled, til god know when. x

@@georgekempson670 Hope you hear soon x

@@InkyDaCaT Cheers Lisa. 😉 x

Bit later to you here George 😈 glad you got the flat and you are happy with it ( I know not where you wanted ) and you will get your studio up and running all in good time 😈👍👍👍 we like popping into Caernarfon for the pancakes near the castle 👌👌👍👍👍👍 hope you well 😁

@@daren.t.housse2121 Cheers Daren. Cracking set last night mate, well enjoyed it. Shame i couldn't be there, either to watch or perform but waiting for some heart work to be done, should have been the 25th this month but it's been cancled. Should be much better once it's sorted. Give us a shout when you down this way, only a few miles from Caernarfon. Take care mate. 😉 🎼

Cheers Daren. I managed to get a decent flat the other side of Caernarfon last week, so bummer i wont be moving back to Rossendale. The warden at the flats up there was messing me about, so i needed to take this flat, otherwise i would be out of options. Also having some work done on the old ticker, had three ops since i was four, congenital. Anyway, i go into Liverpool the 25th Oct, should be fighting fit after that. Cheers for asking dude. Take care mate. 😉 🎹

Cheers Lisa, glad you like it luv. 😉 🎹

Well, if you will play hard to get dude. 🤣😂. I enjoyed both the Lytham and Huddersfield gigs, venues were a touch small but think Jamie has found a decent sized place in Blackpool. Could have done the Sowerby Bridge and Leeds as well but the chest infection put paid to that. Glad you enjoyed it Daren, i'm sure there'll be more, i'll keep you posted. 😉🎼

Aww cheers Lisa, much appreciated love. Had the son and grandson there with me this time, seemed to enoy it, chippy on da way home. x😀

Thanks muchly Ian, enjoyed myself and got to meet some decent likeminded muso's. Looking forward to maybe playing at some of the Yorkshire gigs over the next few weeks. Take care mate. 😉 🎹

Thanks Lisa, very kind of you. Shame i didn't get to finish the set but that's life. At least Jamie sent me a message saying he felt i was the best act that evening, so that was good. I can send you the other two tracks if you wish, i sent them to Andy. Take care Lisa and thanks again. 😘 x

@@georgekempson670 better still perform them and put them on yt?😁😁

@@InkyDaCaT Well obviously last Fridays tracks are on there, with the vid. Now do i add the other tracks as mp3's, or wait until i play them out with some new tracks, at another EMOM? hmm! Would like to do a couple of fessies with Jim and Andy next season, EMOM's on tour, as it were. Food for thought. 😉

@@georgekempson670 do it 😁😁 and send me tracks I was shocked in best way matey😁😁😁😁💥🙌

@@InkyDaCaT I hope you weren't expecting something different Lisa. Ok, the 4/4 was used but there are times i just get the inspiration to do a couple in that style but i am a Basshead at heart. If you have a gmail account, let me know and i'll send you the other tracks. 🙌 x

You're not wrong. As the footage shows, it was a busy place, with various quality shops and plenty of parking. I'm not sure it will ever return to how it once was, it's a lot easier to run these places down, than it is to build them back up again. God only knows what the visitors think of it now.

Caernarfon knocks the spots of run-down Bangor. Caernarfon is teeming with visitors and has the lovely walk around the castle and Aber Foreshore. Nothing like that in Bangor.@@georgekempson670

Yeah John, time hasn't been very good to Bangor i'm afraid. I think it's just how things are these days, the old school councils seemed to at least have some sort of pride in the areas they covered but since they died off and the "progressives" took over with their new ideas, such as increasing the rents and rates, which put many businesses off and with most of them deciding to have an online shop, which is the ways of things now, it's small wonder the town centres are falling apart.

Cheers Andy, yeah the CS1x is quite a sentimental bit of gear, i bought it in '98 and both that and the Proteus have been used on quite a few of the albums i've produced up until 2008, when i started working for a company in Switzerland recording podcasts for them, the income was a bit better so it was a no-brainer really, then i got the drone and did a bit with that and produced the music for the footage, quite enjoyed doing that......until i drowned the drone in the Menai straight.

Thanks for the comments Decima1. It was just a very basic run through of what i knew at the time about this amazing synth, i hadn't had it very long when i recorded this footage. Glad you enjoyed it and take care. ; )

Very kind of you Daren, thanks mate. Came across you on the ranzee channel, brilliant banter and very informative. Obviously checked out your channel and was very impressed with your work. Take care bud.

@@georgekempson670 Thank you George :) .. love north wales been my get away from when i was little ( and with it only 1 to 1: 1/2 hours away :)well thats to one of my fav places betws y coed .....

@@daren.t.housse2121 Cheers Daren, yeah it's a brilliant place, nice and quiet and well settled here now, after 30 years. Where you from Daren? The accent sounds "up North".

@@georgekempson670 Manchester :) ..i be on live in 10 mins Ranzee show

@@daren.t.housse2121 Ah right, i'm originally from Rossendale.

Cheers Daren, the jerkiness of the drone was something acting up, it was to be the downfall of the drone the next time i went to the Secret Beach, it wouldn't respond to the remote and down it went for a swim, never mind, such is life eh? I'll stick to buying studio gear i think mate, it's safer. ; ) Take care Daren.

@@georgekempson670 Arrrr shame looks good and nice secret beach ..

Glad you enjoyed it Alexis, shame about the clanking but i did apologise...twice i think? Take care my lovely. xx

George Kempson it’s so quiet and beautifully wooded down those paths, and now I know where you live ☺️😘xxx

You aren't wrong (about the gimbal i mean). I'll get around to getting one maybe, i don't really go out vlogging with the camera much, so if i can find a cheap one, then i might go for it. Hope you are keeping well. Take care. ; )

@@georgekempson670 thanks and you join me on my Thursday morning live stream on here if you are at a loose end anytime.
