Nice job Dr B

It looks a lot nicer now you have all the columns of equal width.

However I hope you don’t mind me saying that the front page is still very cluttered looking.

You could easily move a lot of sections from the front page and make them sub-sections.

For example – every section in the “Parties” heading could be moved and hidden in this section – so you would only see a single heading of Parties – with say a brief description of what that section includes.

The same is true of the General section.

Shelving equaliser Usually for low and high (although sometimes a fixed mid is also included) – this is an eq that has a set frequency point, and allows control of the gain at that point – essentially either a low pass, band pass or high pass filter with a gain control. This is the most common form of EQ on DJ mixers, and can be used as a simple cut on particular frequency bands by a DJ (I would recommend discouraging them from using it as a boost however, as the quality of the boost and the lack of precise control quickly leads to distortion – there are far better devices for tuning the overall sound, and there is really no good reason to use them as a boost – that’s what amplifiers are for)

I totally agree.

I do not understand why on DJ mixers the shelf EQ doesn’t stop at 0 dB and only allows dB reduction ? :you_crazy

Cutting is fine – in fact it is a great effect when mixing – but you should NEVER boost.

Only red line monkey’s do that :you_crazy

And thanks for another great and informative article.

…. I was considering calling off the whole series, but have decided I dont give up that easily… If I dont break even on Dec 6, Im calling it quits…. its too much work to do, then drive 3 hrs, set up, pay my DJs, & not have enough paying ppl to break even, let alone be compensated for MY troubles…… ‘sigh’

Sorry to hear that 😥

Running / promoting clubs, festivals, etc. is shit ……. :you_crazy

That’s why we got out of doing these things.

And never have a guest list – it’s a recipe for disaster.

Just do what we do – free parties – no expenses (other than the obvious ones) = more fun :bounce_fl

I think everyone always holds an affinity for their home wherever that is.

I don’t think London is a shithole mate – I was only joking. But I don’t like it either.

I’ve lived and worked in London at various times over the years.

But there are vastly more people living in London alone, than in the whole of Scotland.

I find it overcrowded, and I miss the countryside and desolate area’s that you can easily find throughout Scotland.

My favourite parts of England are The Lake District, Cumbria, Derbyshire, and the more remote parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Unfortunately – I’ve never been lucky enough to visit the South West – but would really like too.

Haha yeah i’ve just had a look at it and i think i would take me a while. One thing i’m gonna do is in the near future get a motorbike and explore the UK. specially scotland. I like old army forts and stuff like that so would be pretty cool i reckon!:love:

If you do get a motorbike – a really cheap way to travel round is to use the Bothy’s and Hostels. A lot of them allow camping in their grounds too.

health n safety dont get me started on that im a level 3 rope access technician , health and safety is so far up its own fucking ass up its become unsafe

I never said I know everything.

However this information is even provided in TV commercials.

All the ads promoting ambulance chasers like – injurylawyers4U etc. – clearly state that compensation is claimed from an employer, as they have Employee insurance to cover such accidents.

This is not me picking at anything – but pointing out that there is no excuse for someone not knowing simple information such as this.

And my I point out that you are the only one being personally offensive here – I haven’t been.

That’ll take you a few days as most of it is still intact ….. :laugh_at:

Unfortunately it’s run by The National Trust and English Heritage – maybe they do open days too ?

Some of the forts are well worth visiting.

And if you like walking – there’s loads of brilliant walks all over Scotland.

The Scottish Parliament introduced a Freedom to Roam Act last year, and as we don’t have trespass laws in Scotland, there’s plenty to choose from.

Just like I also knew other appropriate legislation such as tax, health & safety, etc. etc.

It’s not like this information is secret – it’s freely available to anyone in government leaflets and publications, at government offices, or online.

Sorry – but if you were scammed – it was your own fault.

All employers are legally required to have Employee and Public Liability insurance – which covers you for accidents at work. There is also certain state benefits that cover you too.

So why would you need additional personal insurance ?

Also – the sum covered of £5,000 is extremely small – corporate insurance policies are normally in the £ millions of cover.
