Apr 12, 2006 01:30 am Sweet!
What kind of speed internet do you think I'll need to watch it?
Apr 12, 2006 02:23 am Cheers ALL of ye...it should be good!!
Jim/Noize - cheers guys - hopefully, we will play well! Dan, no bother...the good news (or bad for us if we DO play bad!!) is, the site will host the gig for 6 months after the event ;-) /// so it'll either be a blessin or a curse for me!!! (hopefully all will go fine and the 6 months wont be 6 month stretch from hell!!!)...
C Sanders, reckon you need a 1MB connection but I'll check for ya buddy.
Indeed, wait I cannot! Fun it will be...speaking like Yoda I am!!
Coco.
Apr 12, 2006 08:47 am C_Sanders...you'll need a 1MB connection (or better) to watch I believe...anything else wont cope I'm informed...
1 Week and the countdowns onnnnn... ;-)
Coco.
Apr 12, 2006 08:50 am jeezuz, 1MB...guess I'll have to have Noize capture it for me...
Hey, coco, hit the mod forum and see my latest post, help me out there if ye canny...
Apr 12, 2006 10:38 am Coco, that is way-cool !!! I'm so watching it !
Anyone know what Edinburg-time translates to 'round here ?
Apr 12, 2006 11:14 am dB - thats me responded buddy...as for the 1mb - dont you guys all have that over there??
Mine was 512k for a long time but they just upgraded me to 2.2 ... my exchange can handle 5mb tho. IT would be cool to have for sure!!
Hue - nice one buddy!! Hope it comes across well. I will confirm precisely when we start on this thread ASAP but from my time to you guys (at least on HRC post time) its -5 hours i.e. we are 5 hours ahead of you dudes....
Coco.
Apr 12, 2006 07:10 pm I'm on 256 man : ( But I'll still give it a go.
Apr 12, 2006 07:29 pm How do I check this, how do you say, 'connection speed' ?
Is it down there next to the clock, by the task-bar ? The 'Local Area Connection' ?
Apr 12, 2006 08:45 pm That's a sweet tool! My connection speed is 374.4 with a cable modem.
I'll have to check my speed on the T-1 at work, as that's where I'll be when the big show airs.
Does anybody know what kind of software or browser plug-in will be required to view the show?
Jim
Apr 12, 2006 09:47 pm Indeed, nice tool dB. With the kids online as well I'm at 3378.45. Dont see having any trouble with that. Specially since they'll be in here watchin with me.
Apr 13, 2006 12:44 am f@*#ing slick man! Imma check that out providing I don't get stuck in class too long.
Apr 13, 2006 12:59 pm Guys
Cheers for the interest!! dB - cool tool that is.
Jim, no specialist software needed - the windows media player is embeded into the page so, you just night a decent connection!! Sorted....
Again, cheers for the interest peeps...I'll post up OUR precise time for starting , when I get it so you know...there are 3 other bands playing too...I'll get ya details of them soon as well.
Cheers guys
Coco,
Apr 13, 2006 01:11 pm I'm 1119.3 kbps ... now if I can find a way to play windows media streams... mplayer should do it...
Apr 13, 2006 01:22 pm www.nexusliveshow.com
Check it out guys - if this works for ya now, it'll most likely work for ya for the show (though it may be a higher bit rate hence the need for 1MB broadband) but you can test the player...
Cheers guys
Coco.
Apr 13, 2006 05:29 pm Thanks Coco!
Right now I'm listening to the Abdominal Snowmen...very interesting! It sounds like Coco meets Run DMC!! Scottish rap!!
Anyways, the player works fine for me, and there are no dropouts in the stream, so it looks like I'm good to go for the world wide debut of DMR!! WOOOOT!!!
Apr 13, 2006 10:07 pm Tried it in both IE and FireFox and no go on the player. It would load and say it was ready and then nothing. Hit play and still nothing. I hope it doesnt happen when your on that night.
Apr 14, 2006 08:40 am Hey Jim - nice one!!
Aye - should be good.
Here's some links to the other bands playing on Wednesday:
Isla & The Filthy Tounges : www.isaandthefilthytongues.com/
North Atlantic Oscillitation
www.myspace.com/naoband
Muddyface
www.myspace.com/muddyfaceparty
I havent checked these guys out yet but I hear the NAO are very cool - electronica/indie - Loki, you'd like em mate!!
So aye - shaping up well.
Noize, thats bizare...I tried just now and it appeared OK - maybe a wee glitch at the time as a couple of times I tried it took a while to come on...hopefully they'll resolve for Wed!!!
Anyways guys..I'll be back at ya for our time slot...
Cheers
Coco.
Apr 14, 2006 10:35 am Congrats my jock friend. Fantastic stuff.
I've even sent the link to some friends in London. (a) to watch DMR, and (b) to see if they can get involved in getting a show themselves.
I'll be watching.
Gotta see/hear the Les Paul in action!
Apr 14, 2006 12:02 pm Nice one TallChap...vintage!!
Hope ye enjoy it ... !
Ye can hear the Paul in action already tho if ye visit oor site here: www.thedesmoinesriot.com but aye, tune in, grab a beer and (hopefully) enjoy!
Nice one.
Coco.
Apr 16, 2006 04:10 pm OKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
So now we now.
The DMR on LIVE at 21:00 GMT ... which I reckon, means about 5pm YOUR time but that depends on state...based on me posting this post NOW at 21:09 my time, ye can take it from there duders!!
ENJOY...gonna be a one off!!
Coco.
Apr 19, 2006 08:14 am Tonights the big one for the DMR!!
Enjoy guys..
I'll be the one with the Les Paul ;-)
Coco.
Apr 19, 2006 04:02 pm The player still wont play anything in either IE or FireFox. I tried a couple of archived shows as well. Nothing, not a bloody thing.
Apr 19, 2006 04:46 pm That was pretty sweet, Coco ! You and the Paul sounded real nice . Great jorb to all your mates as well, looked like everything went off without a hitch . A fine one-off !
Cheers,
~Hue
Apr 20, 2006 10:12 am Missed it!! Damn!!
Will the show be available for streaming via the website's archives?
I'll bet you guys rocked!
Jim
Apr 20, 2006 12:53 pm Hey Guys
Went really well I feel!! Top night, good beers on the go and all had a great time!
Noize, they have just (this very day) changed their media player so this may help. They also put some info behind this on their blog...yer maybe find the answers there...
Hue - cheers for the listen and watch - hope ye enjoyed it!! Was loving it myself for sure ;-)
Jim and all ye who missed it - aye, it's gonna be online for 6 months from next week I believe so, I'll let ya know when its up! www.nexusliveshow.com is where it iwll be.
Cheers guys...
Coco
Apr 20, 2006 01:42 pm It was very cool coco ! I remember thinking to myself how far entertainment has come to be able to enjoy a band 'live' from the other side of the world... that's just too friggin' cool !!!
... and yeah, y'a looked like you guys were having a blast !
Apr 29, 2006 05:51 pm Cheers db and Hue - much appreciated!!
And for all you dudes who missed it, its now online!! Ye can logon HERE:
www.nexusliveshow.com - select us from the list on the left and the player will pop up. I noticed it took a mighty long time to open on my PC but after leaving it "connected" with the player for a bit and right clicking INSIDE the actual player embedded in the page and doing stop / play it seemed to work!!
Strange I know but it is an 88MB file so its a big streaming puppy!! However, its recorded in top class sound (48khz 16bit) which is cool and overall, the video quality to my eyes is excellent!!!
I heard a few little bleepers but hell, it is live rock!!! So...enjoy!
Cheers
Coco.
Apr 29, 2006 06:48 pm Hey Coco, I managed to check it yesterday. Real Cool stuff man...definately enjoyed it. I had no problems on my PC...actually started playing almost instantly. The Paul sounds great through the Marshall.
BTW, Your singer kinda reminds me of that Stiffler fella from American Pie ;-)
Apr 30, 2006 03:10 am Finally got to check it out coco, you guys were great! The LP was sounding great as was the rest of the band. Great song line up. Totally cool!!
Dan
May 01, 2006 03:17 am Hey Mike & OD - good to hear from ya guys and glad ye liked it.
I just got done downloading the stream and putting it on a DVD ... a lot easier to watch on TV !! However, I did notice a few rough spots but as I say, twas live rock!
With the further listening I have given it, I am now less happy with the mix itself. Makes the vocals sound a tad harsh as they are too loud in the mix. The bass is a bit low (if not too low) all over the shop and the rhythm guitar (acoustic) is practically non-existent when my guitar comes in....though that wont happen no more as I convinced our singer to go electric ;-) !!
Anyways, overall - not bad and a great experience and buzz playing the live gig online and doing the interviews afterwards etc though I would so love to have had a better mix that I could've worked something with, a live CD or something...ack well, next time ;-) !!!
Cheers again to ye all for the listen...its a chunk of time from all yer days for sure and indeed, a big badass file size for sure!!
Ta...
Coco.
