big business sloth posted:This might be a question for computer people instead, but I figure I'll try. My suspicion is that it's something to do with your sound card trying to regulate its own input through the microphone amp. I don't know much about laptop sound cards, but I have a similar setup on my PC, and I only ever use the line-in on my sound card, not the mic-in, to avoid the sound card's amplifier.

big business sloth posted:Ok that does sound about right. So how do I avoid it exactly? I don't actually know. Step one, see if you have a separate line-in port on your laptop. I don't think laptop sound cards generally have those, I could be wrong---as I said, laptops aren't my scene. Second, dig around in the settings for your sound card, probably via the Control Panel, see what you can do in there. There may be some sort of option regarding the sound card's regulation of incoming signal.

Sadsack posted:I've been thinking about upgrading from my lovely Pacification to a proper, big boys, guitar. At the moment I'm lusting after a Gibson SG Special, but I'm a bit worried about the neck. A few years ago I had a Epiphone G400 that, when you let get of the neck, it immeadiatly nose dived. Was that just a problem with that guitar or is it a quirk of the SG line as a whole? SGs have necks made of treetrunks. They are meant for burly men and women to hoist aloft with bulging, barbarian-like thews. (I play a Telecaster.)

Thirteenth Step posted:I'm looking for a decent distortion pedal (guitar) I'm going to second Bozor: Go to the shop and try stuff out, and try to recreate your situation as closely as possible---use an amp and guitar similar to yours, if not yours, when testing. There's a lot of room for different kinds of sounds within the vague descriptor of "distortion," so be prepared to try and sort through a whole lot of different boxes. I personally have a Keeley Mod DS-1 and a stock Big Muff Pi in my chain, which I use for fairly different things.

Your best bet is to just make one yourself. Basic drum machine software is available all over the internet in one form or another---here's a flash one you can dick around with: edit - wait, hold up, that doesn't have numeric bpm. My bad, just woke up. Here's one I've used before for vaguely-similar purposes: http://www.threechords.com/hammerhead/introduction.shtml Just add something extra (a snare hit, a cymbal ping, anything) to the downbeat so you've got that marker. hexwren fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jan 30, 2012 |

Stupid drumming question. Lately I've found myself playing a lot of crash stuff where I'm hitting the cymbal on quarter notes for the loud bits, but often the cymbal will swing out of rhythm with how I'm hitting it, where it'll be further away than expected when I want to hit it or swinging back up to meet my stick for the next note, both of which make it tonally inconsistent as well as loving annoying. Is this a question of technique or hardware or both, and how do others handle it?

RandomCheese posted:Try tipping your cymbals toward you, they look pretty flat in the pic you posted in the other thread so having the balance shifted to one edge might be enough to make them go into their default position once struck as opposed to being level and wobbling around until the felt absorbs all of the momentum. Maybe try just tightening them into the felt a bit more also. Hm. Well, they can't actually get any tighter, but the felt and nut setup I have is pretty low-budget, so I may need to look at my mounting. As for the tilt, I'll try that out next time I get a chance to play. They are pretty flat, but that's probably exaggerated a little bit, since to get that photo, I had to stand on my stool, hold the camera practically at the ceiling and point it straight down. ...actually, no, I must be hallucinating. They're basically level. Huh. I thought they were tilted more.

I follow that the fret weirdness makes it so the frets are more accurate to the different strings, but is this the same scale as a standard guitar, just with improved accuracy, or is this for some janky tuning from progfusion town?

ihopeirememberthis posted:What's a good instrument to play if I can't use my right thumb? Preferably something that sounds good solo. How much 'can't use' are we talking? Clarinets and saxophones have a bit where the right thumb carries some of the weight of the instrument but doesn't actually require any other faculty in that digit. Guitars of various sorts would require a different picking methodology, if you're playing right handed, but wouldn't ask much of the right thumb. You could even use banjo-style fingerpicks if you can't grip with that hand.

I'm converting a small suitcase into a pedalboard, and I need to put something under the pedals so it's not like putting my foot into a bucket. Plywood is my first thought, but I would hope I could get something lighter---the only problem is that anything I can think of ends up being squashable. Thoughts?

So my amplifier has a small spring reverb (80s Crate G-20) which I've always just cranked to full and left on because it doesn't add a lot of reverb, just some nice extra thickness to the sound. This amp also doesn't move around at all, so it hasn't been dropped or anything, but of late, having the reverb on is causing something in the amp to start feeding back. It doesn't overwhelm whatever signal is being put into the thing, it's just there in the background like you left the tv on in the other room and it's doing a test of the emergency broadcast system. It's not a world-shattering loss, I was planning on getting a reverb pedal anyway to replace the one I had to sell off some time back, but is there anything I can reasonably do to see about tracking down and possibly repairing the fault in the tank or whatever it is that might be making it do this?

Jazz Marimba posted:Whatever the bride says is law. The guests aren't paying you. The last wedding I DJed, there was an interesting twist to that, in that (context: this is in Texas) the bride loathed country music, but the bride's mother was actually footing the bill. (Oddly, the bride's father was providing the PA, since as a regularly-gigging guitarist, he knew even his "smaller" PA setup would blow the doors off anything I could rent for the purpose - and in fact, said setup was complete overkill, even for the very large room we were in, but I digress.) Said mother and father of bride were estranged, so it was touch-and-go at times, especially as the mother's faction was highly traditional (read: racist) and the groom was black. And a brony, but I digress again. This led to the situation where the bride advised me "do not play any country," while the bride's father advised me "her mother or one of her cousins on that side or something like is going to demand you play country...just...hold out as long as possible until you do, we don't want them to start complaining about who's actually paying you." The ceremony music and dinner music went exactly to plan (nerdy and tasteful, respectively) and then when the dancefloor opened up, the cold war began. I went for Love is the Drug to open, I remember that much. I've tried to keep playlists handy for the weddings I've done, but this specific one got lost, so I don't remember exactly what went on. I made polite excuses, your standard "I don't think I have that one, no" as said cousins approached and asked for Toby Keith and Rascal Flats and the like. Eventually, someone deposited their ipod on my table and indicated this playlist consisting of 100% good poo poo would no longer stand. The father gave me the nod, and I plugged it into my soundboard. It was mostly a victory for the bride, though, as we only ended up playing two or three country tunes, and one of them was a proper slow dance number, and I'm not going to argue with a nice slow dance. But I did end the night with Justice because gently caress it, we've got some serious speakers in here, let's make them work. hexwren fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Feb 4, 2018 |

basically like 75% of why I want to learn music theory is to figure out what it is about the songwriting for musicals that makes me want to chew off my own limbs to get away every time I'm working for the theater company I'm in with off and on (as their live sound person and one of their "is willing to help lift heavy things" people), whenever one of them gets ahold of the PA system to put on music for while we're all working, I can basically tell within like two-three bars if something's a showtune or not, basically because if it's a showtune, it ends up sounding like nails on a chalkboard to me

just got a midi controller keyboard, and I have basically no keys experience. the learning how to play will come in time, but for right now I mostly just wanna bang around on it while I learn the controls and daw stuff the thing is, and I assume this'll get fixed to some extent in time with proper technique, but a thing that extremely bothers me coming from drums and guitar is that these plastic keys are very slick, and I constantly find my fingers slipping in ways that they don't on frets and drumsticks. I can't get a grip. I'm tempted to put on some kind of keyboard equivalent of grip tape just so I can get some friction and keep my fingertips where I want them. is this normal, or am I a garbage person with garbage hands
