Closing the forum in about 10 minutes. Should only take a few hours.

I will be shutting down the forum today. I'm not sure what time but hopefully within the next few hours. I'm waiting on a reply from my hosting company. They are going to back-up and then convert the database to a new format that will supposedly run faster and stop the server from hanging. I've been getting status emails of processes that are getting stuck and must be restarted (most automatically) every night. This will hopefully solve that and everything will run a lot smoother.
Just waiting to hear back from them regarding when they want to perform the conversion.

Red's a great player and a super nice cat. I was with her for four years but bowed out at the end of last year. Glad you got to see the show!

Yep. It's that time again. The last funddrive ended in January and we raised just under $800. That's gotten us through to this month at $150 a month for the server.
I'm looking into upgrading the storage of the server since we're almost maxed out (90% capacity). I'd love to get a faster server, too but my friend who was vice president of the hosting company retired last month and he's the one that got me the super buddy deal. The server we have right now should really be twice what we're paying.Anyway... Paypal to b3groover@hotmail.com
If you want to send a check, please PM me for the address.
Thanks!

Obviously there is much more to this story. Why was the upstairs neighbor intent on making the other person miserable? Did something happen between the two of them?

It's interesting how the tone changes as the needle gets closer to the center. This happens with regular vinyl, too which is why band members used to fight for who got their songs at the beginning of the sides vs the end.

That cabinet looks really well-kept!
It was refinished by my father and I about 20 years ago. When I got the organ it was in pretty rough shape but it's my favorite sounding Hammond of the ones I've own(ed).

The Audio Technica ATH-M30x are indeed great phones for the money. They are far superior to the model they replaced, the ATH-M30 (no 'X'). I have both. I gave the older models to my kids for laptop / iPod gaming. I use the newer model in the studio.
But I also own three pair of ATH-M50 phones and they are great. I'd love to try the new AT open back headphones.http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/996daf096c12ea16/

We're heading back into the studio to begin recording our sixth album. I hope to have it released by mid to late fall (Oct/Nov). It will be released in multiple formats including direct mp3 / hi-res FLAC download, CD, and surround sound (Blu-Ray or DVD-Audio, haven't decided yet, but also 5.1 FLAC surround files).
Yes, I'm tracking the Leslie in surround. It sounds great!
You can help support the cause by ordering an organissimo T-shirt if you don't already have one.

Very sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed interacting with him here. My condolences to his family and friends.

Post counts were re-counted. If you've ever deleted posts, that's probably why your count changed.

I'll be closing the forum at midnight tonight (EST) and will re-open after another attempt to update it to the latest software is successful (or I have to restore from a back-up again) which should be by early afternoon tomorrow.
Thanks!
-
Yes, backups are automatic every morning at around 2am. Invision won't attempt another upgrade until tomorrow morning.
-
I had to restore from our most recent back-up (pre-update) which was early morning, June 21st. All the posts somehow were deleted in the upgrade. So now that we're back where we were, we'll try it again.

Yes, the expression pedal affects all tones coming from the organ. However, it does attenuate the higher frequencies faster (in relation to the travel of the pedal) than the lower frequencies. So depending on your registration, you can pull the volume back on the manuals moreso than on the pedals or lower notes on the manuals. It's not perfect but with enough forethought and practice, it can work to do what you want.

Your best bet is really the SK2. Although maybe wait until Summer NAMM next month and see if Hammond debuts anything new. But the SK2 is the best lightweight two manual solution on the market. Even if you don't use the extra sounds, it's still a great value and the spacing between the manuals is perfect. I love mine.

I never really announced it but I left after our touring season ended in Oct 2014. You may want to check with me if I'll be with her as the date approaches, though, as I've done some gigs with her this year as a fill-in, including an upcoming show in DC at the end of this month.
