Yeah. I was hoping to minimize additional hardware (and clutter)... trying to use the built-in (crappy) sound card in my laptop... trying to do things mostly in software. My laptop only has USB 1.x so the Audigy (USB 2.0,) while I'm sure is a good value, would not be optimal. If I were to get an external sound card, I'd probably look into an Echo, Terratec, DigiDesign or something like that (I'll need to do MUCH more research) and make use of a PCMCIA device. Oh, now I've tried the Amplitude. I agree with tsl602000. It is a mess (bad user interface design) to get a good sound from it. And I couldn't try the Warp VST because Steinberg doesn't have it (or any of it's products) available for download. Well, I'm ok with the ReValver for now... I still say it sounds pretty good and the UI is easy .

Heck yeah! Too many players are guilty of this. They play all out of whack then think "I'm such a great player!!!" If you have one, practice them with a metronome... and record yourself along the way to gauge your improvement... the machines won't lie!

Ugh!!! I hate computers! I spent most of yesterday fighting with my laptop... I d/l-ed Sonar... it didn't like my sound card . Oh, well! I still haven't tried the Amplitube and Warp VST that tsl602000 recommended... I'll try them today. Anyway, I still like the way ReValver sounds and I like the user interface. Realtime sync-ing is a drag though. It's kind of surprising to record a dead cold dry guitar plugged into the mic jack and hear it come alive after applying the distortion, etc. after the fact. Pretty cool new toys for me to play with .

Just do it! Um... don't be afraid to fingerpick, especially on the string skipping. I posted a link to Marshall Harrison's webpage in another thread a while ago. He does alot of classical stuff on electric guitar... not the 24 caprices but you might get some ideas from the other stuff.

I'm crying over this....never happened before

Heh, I was going to say I really liked the guitar stand in the pic when I originally saw this post... but I refrained until I saw your post . -
What kind of tuners are these????
jbkim replied to rockinrobert's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
Yeah, headless steiny. They do have tuners for headed guitars at MusicYo... but they are currently out of stock (usually $99.) The word on the steinberger mailing list is "any day now" . You can check out this page for more info on them steiny tuners. -

jbkim replied to rockinrobert's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
I haven't used them but I have a steinberger which also has 40:1 tuners. It's not that bad to turn them to tune. Like the Sperzels, you need to have no slack (extra turns) when putting on the strings. And, yes, they do look pretty darn cool . -
/me tips hat to westhemann
-
You're right. Done. Sorry. Hmm.... funkle should follow suite.
-
Um, you're 15, right? I've been checking out John Scofield, etc. since before you were born .
-
He's (she's?) resurrected as "The Nordic Gourd" .
-
Great guitarist... died way too young. Quite influential... you can hear it in, for example, Eric Johnson's style. I even like his cheesy commercialized stuff. Heh, Kevin Eubanks reminds me of him .
-
Short practice session?
-
Finger oil... BAD! Use the paper tube that came with the tubes to handle when changing... and maybe wear gloves just to be sure . Condoms are optional .

They're LSR's. -
I'll keep those tips in mind when I check them out. I'm looking forward to less "clutter" around my computer. Oh, while we're kind of on the subject, can you (or anyone) recommend a software drum machine? I've played around with PC Drummer and LeafDrums and will probably check out Fruity Loops (I think it's called.) The more I can do in software, the better (less clutter in tiny room .)
-
Well, mainly good tube sounding distortion. Too many things sound too fuzz-boxy, you know what I mean? I've only played with the ReValver for a few minutes and it didn't really sound that bad to me... it's distortion sound kind of reminds me of the Johnson J-Station (also something I've only played for a few minutes ) Oh, actually, it also had a Rockman response/feel to it too.
-
Ooh, ok. I thought the ReValver sounded pretty good so I should REALLY like those other, huh? Very cool, I'll have to check them out.
-
I wonder what Snork re-registered as?
-
Anyone try ReValver? I just learned about it on another forum. You'll need a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter to plug your guitar into your computer's sound card mic input. I just checked it out... sounds pretty good! quite impressed... I'm almost sorry I bought one of those DSP modelers thingies (almost ... mainly because I use it through my computer most of the time.) My laptop that I just tried it on is too under-powered (I got too much latency.) I think it'd sound good/true in a desktop with a nicer sound card.

What does she have to do with drilling holes? Oh! you mean Ditto Yeah! When I see that, I keep thinking it's that singer too... well, that or there's an "L" missing somewhere .
-
Yeah! What were we thinking "throwing facts around" like that! We should be ashamed of ourselves!

Density is a ratio of unit mass divided by unit volume. That's probably why you're confused. Specifiy gravity is a relationship to water density. Water has SG of 1. Clear acrylic is 1.19, and that link I posted early stated that maple is 0.755. And I accept your apology if you care to offer one.
-
Yeah, that's right... I didn't learn this physics stuff 'til 12th grade.
-
Oh!!! I'm getting a better picture of you. How old are you? I assumed you've at least learned this stuff in high school. It's 9.8m/s^2 and that's acceleration due to gravity. Specific gravity is a measure of density.
