  1. STING June 1, 2025 Arizona Financial Theater - Phoenix, AZ Incredible show. Great set list. Fantastic performances. Not a bad note in the entire show. The dude can still bring it! Set List: Message in a Bottle If I Ever Lose My Faith in You Englishman in New York Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Fields of Gold Never Coming Home Mad About You Spirits in the Material World Wrapped Around Your Finger Driven to Tears It's Probably Me Can't Stand Losing You / Reggatta de Blanc Shape of My Heart I Wrote Your Name Walking on the Moon So Lonely Desert Rose King of Pain Every Breath You Take Encore: Roxanne Fragile
  2. So sorry about your mother in law. That's just terrible man. As far as hearing audio through your interface, you need to make sure the routing is set up correctly. Without seeing how your system is running, it's difficult for me to tell you exactly what the issue is. Are you using the Focusrite Control software along with the Scarlet? Try this first: Plug in your headphones to the interface (scarlet) and see if you hear the audio there first. If you do, then it is definitely a routing issue to your monitors. This should be pretty simple to get worked out once you know your DAW and Interface are actually talking to each other. Since you just changed DAW's, it's not too late. I suggest you download and use Reaper as your DAW. It's free (or paid if you want). It's arguably the best DAW available. Yes, better than Protools. Cakewalk is garbage. I'm currently running Reaper with 2 Focusrite i1820's connected together for a total of 16 inputs. It's pretty sick.
  3. Sting (3.0 Tour) Friday Jan 24 Arizona Financial Theater Phoenix, AZ
  4. David Gilmour - Luck and Strange Tour Hollywood Bowl - Los Angeles, CA October 31, 2024 This was the final night of a 3 show run at the Hollywood Bowl, and the 16th show of a 21 show tour (in just 4 cities worldwide). It was a truly magical evening and the band was on fire. The best performances I've seen from any shows on this tour so far. They really played well, and David was damn near perfect. The setlist remained the same for all shows; Set 1 = 13 songs / Set 2 = 10 songs. He played 9 (of 11) songs off the new record, which is a great album btw. The show is insane. The lighting design was unlike anything I had ever seen. Only way I can describe it is like, "painting brush strokes" with light. Truly unique and new. The sound was pristine. Absolutely perfect. The show progressed (production wise) with each song. Starting with limited lighting and visuals, then moving to full blown mind blowing lasers and incredible scenes. Lasers don't even make their appearance until the beginning of the second set, for Sorrow. Gilmour is my favorite guitarist, and Pink Floyd is my second favorite band. I'm so glad we made the trip to see this special tour. Only 5 shows left, all at Madison Square Garden in NYC. If you can find a ticket, you should do all you can to go. Here's my Video of Sorrow: (not the best video but it sounds incredible)

  6. Bush / Jerry Cantrell / Candlebox / Bones UK Saturday Sept 14, 2024 Talking Stick Resort Amphitheater - Phoenix, AZ Disclaimer: this concert was my wife's idea for "date night", so.... Bush: I have never been a fan of Bush. With that said, they blew me away. Absolutely killer rock show. They were the headliner so I expected something decent, but they were really impressive. Great set, sounded good, looked good, crowd loved it. Interesting side-note: during the last intermission (right before Bush) the "house music" was the loudest between-set music I've ever heard. Not just a little louder than most, but way louder. I'd say a solid 20db louder than any concert I've ever been to (over 750). It was "as loud" as the Opening band (Bones UK). Insane! Jerry Cantrell: The Alice in Chains star killer it. Great set, really nice performances, sounded good, looked good. The "aux" vocalist is insanely good. The vocals during their set were fantastic. Jerry sang all of his songs (most), and the other guy sang the rest. I saw Alice In Chains 3 times back in the day, so I'm a fan. Jerry did not disappoint. Candlebox: I've always loved them, but haven't seen them since they opened for Rush on the Counterparts Tour. They were amazing. That lead singer is an incredible vocalist. Total rock star. Great set, great show. They really sounded good...maybe the best of all the bands. Crowd was the loudest for these guys. They killed it! Bones UK: Never heard of them before. All chick band, 3 piece. They were awesome. Great energy, cool songs, solid performances. Perfect opener for this tour. Overall this was a better than expected concert. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Totally worth it (tickets were $39). This was the second to last night of a 32 city tour. Shameless plug: This is my 4250th post - since September 25, 2004 - Member #200 (the quiet Moderator). That's 7299 days (or 19 years, 11 months, 25 days).

  8. I can see your original account, Chemistry1973. It has an "aol" email. I can help you get into that account if you want.
  9. I simply cannot choose between two of the greatest albums of all time. So, congratulations are in order for creating the only poll I've never had an answer for .
  10. Mindcrime gets my vote, but Empire is an outstanding record. There isn't a single song on either album that I dislike.
  11. I bought the 3 disc package (2 audio + 1 bluray) a few weeks ago, and it's absolutely incredible. I like the Dark Side Mix as it's a bit brighter, despite it's name. But both mixes are killer, and if you're a fan you should own this album.
  12. They're one the greatest bands of all time. Pure genius.
  13. Are you just looking for offsite storage? Or are you looking for actual "offsite backup / disaster recovery"? Because they are different. If you just need to store files somewhere, it's super simple to pull that off without a service. If you want actual "backup / recovery" that's more complex and requires a service. How much data are you talking about here?
  14. If you're only interested in single hits, then your mount idea might work. But if you really want effective tambourine playing, then the DW pedal is the way to go. They're awesome!
  15. Can't argue too much with that list. All solid choices. I own 7 of the 10. Great records!
  16. The end was determined in January 2017 when new owners, Disney, decided that DEI was the path forward. Nat Geo has been a highly regarded publication for decades and widely embraced. But just like every other company that chooses DEI over their loyal customers and employees, they fail. Reduction of "print media" is not the reason here. Loss of customer base is.
  17. Feb 25, 2023 - Innings Festival (Phoenix, AZ) Green Day, The Black Crowes, Weezer, The Offspring, The Pretty Reckless, more... Feb 28, 2023 - Eric Johnson (Flagstaff, AZ) front row tix!
  18. Entre, the best Moderators are unseen and rarely heard from. I know you better than you know me. My name is Mike, I'm a Cancer, and I'm a porn star at my other job. Nice to meet you! Member #200 in 2004.
  19. Thanks man, and I completely agree with this as well.
  20. As the moderator of this forum I find the number of polls to be a bit excessive. But I also realize that activity and engagement within MoTS is very important and much needed on TRF. The only benefit I can see for creating a new sub forum is it would dramatically clean up the look of every other thread being a poll. If the majority of new threads in MoTS are polls, moving them doesn't make much sense, because we absolutely want activity and engagement in the main forum. Are there too many polls? Yes. Should we do something about it? Probably not. Do we need a poll to decide this? Are you f**king kidding me?!
  21. EJ is one of my top 3 favorite guitarists. I've seen him 8 times, met him a few, and absolutely cherish every song he has ever released. I will admit that I had not heard him until Ah Via Musicom was released, but instantly purchased Tones, and the rest is history. Very excited for the 2 album release this summer. I'm currently sitting on front row tickets for his new tour that's been postponed twice.
  22. Yeah, it's really different. Was definitely a bit of stretch for me with this type of music. But overall I enjoyed the process, and will be starting their second album over the winter. Recording process: *Drums were recorded first, with everyone playing in the same room (no amps on). Tracked bass at the same time, but only used some of it. Then tracked guitars. Then re-tracked bass. Tracked vocals. Tracked extra's (guitars, tamborine, spoken word). Mixed. Mastered. Done. (*drums were recorded all at once, and if there was a mistake we started over. Fewest takes=2, most=4) This was recorded in a 12'x12' bedroom at the bass players house. Vocals, bass, and extra's recorded at my house. Initially this was supposed to be just a decent demo, which is why we didn't do it all at my house, and I used my old portable rig. But it was sounding pretty good during tracking so we just went for it. Recorded on my old Korg D1600, then transferred all tracks to Reaper for mixing.
  23. I recently recorded and produced a new record for my friends band, Crop Killer. The genre is tough to categorize, but it's indie rock with some punk, surf, and 90's alt flavors. The album turned out pretty well, and has been getting some local play and press here in Phoenix. Website: https://cropkiller.b...egular-chickens Check out song #3 - Negative Nancy, and #6 - Rip Van Twinkle, first. Give them a listen. Some interesting writing.
  24. They're just alright, IMO. Talented, decent composition, but still just alright. Modern songs without vocals, regardless of genre, bother the hell out of me. I'm sure they have songs with vocals but I won't go searching for them. Baby Metal is a better band.
