working on my setup

so i've got a current situation where imw orking with hammerhead for the beats, ive got the pedal bag through which tonight i ran a bass. also did vox, where i'd swap the cord back n forth btwn the two. i want to figure out how to sync beats w/ the [BPM] boss RX20 and the hammerhead software on the pc/cd/etc. we'll have to see what's what with that.

so performance wise [tonight] i ran the bass through the rx20, the reverb, delay and pitch shift, and into the mixer, additionally having the CD of hammerhead loops, and two mics through which guests interspersed themselves.

guestwise i had nick, and his bandmate chris. i sang through temike borrowed from BC, through which i ran into the pedals and out into the mixer [so i swapped between the bass and mike]. if i had a mini mixer or a splitter or something it might've been a good idea?

problems i ran into: bass cord came out a few times [wireless cord a solution?], i ran out of things to play [felt like i was playing the same thing over and over]

good things i noticed: they really love the beats["bobbleheads" anita called it, people in the crowd nodding], i noticed a dude in the crowd dancing [heard of a girl in the back doing the same], and i had a body-buzz of excitement getting off the stage, plus bass was fun as fuck to play, and nick was able to do alot of deft lyrics on the mic. it was awesome. plus i did a vibratto through the pitch-shift [vocally] and it sounded rediculous [something i picked up from some work i did on the mike a few nights ago alone while i was working on loops.]

i felt good about the whole thing because a) i'd gotten the chance to play a beat [made in hammerhead] for the first time [at the scarlet n grey] and i got a chance to try that new vibratto through the delay and pitch shift [another first] at the same spot. plus i got to try bass w/ the hammerhead stuff [again another first.] it was pretty awesome.
