Thanks for the  input  Bald Guitardude. Niko does  play  hard and  together  with  Andreas  on  bass they  make  a  pretty  good  pair .This  vid   was  the  first  time  we  had  played live  with  line up so its  good  to  pick  up  some constructive  feedback ,we had  only  5 rehearsals  before  the  gig .Please  keep  the  comments  and  observations  coming  as  it  all  helps.

As   a  regular live  performer  I cringe  some time  when I  hear  recordings  of  my  voice  but as we  usually get  a  good reception it must  be  at  least  half  way  to  being  ok .The  main problem I  have  is  I  do  tend  to  shout  when I  cant  hear  my  self as  we  play  pretty  loud. Its  quite  difficult   especially  as  some  of  the  sound guys  here  don't  speak  much  English and  my Greek  isn't  that  good when you  ask  for  more in  the  monitor   you  tend  to  get   more  of  every  thing  not  just  your  voice .When we  have  our  own sound  guy  with  us  then  its  different and  I  get  to  hear  my  self  clear  and  can regulate  the  volume  accordingly .Main thing  though  is  to  live   the song and  give it  all  your  emotion ,if its  a cover  make it  your  own  don't copy  the  original unless you  are  a tribute  act ,enjoy  what  you do  and  others  will  too.

I've sent  them  an  email  now  Russell  it will be  interesting  to  see the  reply as  I've  seen on or two others on  the  net  with the  same  fault but  no  one  has  come up  with  an  answer .I  hope  my  suspicions  are  wrong  and  its  a  simple  reset  .

Does  any  one  know  what   reset  error 12  is  on a  tascam dp01 fx cd  recording  studio  There's  no  list  in the  manual or  on  tascams  site .The  guy  who  owns  this  plugged  the wrong  polarity psu  in  so  I  suspect  there's  either  an  internal  fuse blown  or something in the voltage  regulator  circuit popped .but  I dont  want  to  go pulling it  apart if  its  just  a reset able  software  error .Any  info  gratefully  received
Thanks

thanks  for  the  feed  back  roger ,vocal  levels  are  a  slight  problem   when recording  with  the  looper as  I  tend  to  do  the  rhythm  and  vocal  first so  it  gets  a  little  burried   when  I  play    the  bass line ,however    we  have  just    done  some  pro    tracks  at   my  mates  studio  which  we  hope  will    be  a  lot  clearer  , should have  the  first  one  back  next  week .
