1) I've heard there is a specific permit or visa required to perform music in the EU...does anybody have detailed info on what is required? If you are bringing a load of flightcased kit that says "musician on tour getting paid cash money" then yes. If its just a laptop and controllers then you are ...

Do you know how to test a fuse ? You might have an internal fault (probably PSU) that blew the new fuse immediately (also, your great lengths might have been wasted if the original one is healthy!). You can test fuses with any cheap multimeter or a bit of wire and battery torch. If the fuse is healt...

Not trying to be a smartass, just going through the basics - loud things need space to be loud, and also need to be surrounded by quiet things. How many things are you trying to have loud at once ? How many quiet things surround these ? Mastering is well past the stage of deciding what should be lou...

Are you saying that this kind of thing is either "go big or go home"? Not at all, if you can cultivate a local vibe of being the guy who does the cool string stuff, then you could pull in whatever work is out there. Still, if your talent lies in creating the arrangement then there might be a lot of...

^True enough, and if string arranging or orchestration is your thing, you should probably get familiar with a synth, sampler or program that you can use to hear these ideas. Offer to do a job on spec (they pay if they use it) for any projects or bands that you feel could benefit. Your talents may in...

Right. Did one session with some songwriters finishing a handful of pop tracks for the publishers. Music all done, session singer doing well, one special edition C12 rented by request, and after a full day the sound of the vocals started to niggle them. I was getting asked to check everything in the...

Have you tried the usual send/feedback setup ? A dedicated rack delay is easier to implement here, an old Korg or Roland being ideal. Patch it in 100% wet on a desk send with the FX returning on a proper desk channel. Set to 1 feedback and let it regenerate via the send on the FX channel. You can ri...

Try to always give the singer the option of their own space, be it a booth or a couple of gobos in the corner. Many will perform better with nobody watching them. Free up as much physical space as you can, get the stand and cables from under their feet, and onto a wall or ceiling. If they are strugg...
