I think the temperament is a function of the fret spacing... find an image of an equal temperament guitar with the wonky frets. Intonation is about aligning the string length to the fret board while also accommodating all the irregularities already discussed. Regardless of whether you have an equal ...

I took Elf's suggestion as using the volume pedal to swell the note to get the slow attack. I wonder if I could combine that with a hard gate so the note abruptly ends at a certain volume. Not sure if I can get the gate to work inversely. I also have a bass bow effect which takes off the attack ...

I am doing a gig in which we do a song where the solo begins with a short section of George-Harrison-esque reverse solo. Obviously live, I have to play it forwards, but are there any suggestions on how I might get a reverse solo vibe from a passage played forwards? I think its all in the attack (or ...

I take a slightly different approach. I use only one reverb, fed by three group tracks. I set the predelay up with a standard delay for each depth (AMB A, B &C) and apply the appropriate EQ to attenuate the HF on each group. I even made a spreadsheet to calculate the delay length and EQ attenuation ...

Knight Guitars out in Addlestone did a great job on my acoustic.

Electronic tuners have been getting more and more accurate over the years with most current ones, even the cheaper Snarks and stuff, being extremely accurate (+/-1 cent or better). In fact it's almost impossible to get the bars on the Peterson tuners to stop moving on most of my guitars so it's ...

I have two such tuners. One had lots of colours on the led display. Yellow cents +/- scale with a light blue 'needle' and other bits in white which made the very small display very busy. Making it is very difficult to read in a gig situation. My other one is monochromatic, all red LEDs until the ...

Aha I see, clever use of AC. It sounds like a very complicated way to make a switch. It has been suggested further up the thread, it might be motiviated by cost saving but are there any sonic advantages? quietness of the switching or less suscetpable to radio interference or something like that? I ...

I have a Fender Blues Delux reissue amp and I am rather puzzled about how the foot switch works. It has two switches, one for reverb on/off and one for channel select. Yet the foot switch cable is only a TS 1/4" jack, only one ground and one signal. Unlike my marshall foot switch, also reverb on/off ...

I drew it in CAD and measured!

For horizontal flats the angle is 13.89deg
For vertical flats, the angle is 16.10deg

Check out youtube for IT network router cabling. There are lots of videos about keeping cabling neat and tidy. Slightly different to audio, but there are lots strategies and techniques which may be applicable.

I'm not really a composer much of any sort, nor am I in any way qualified to comment on the realism of a nuanced virtual instrument performance but.... I do enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of setting templates up and exploring the technical features of a DAW. I spent some time setting up the ...

I am confused if the SSD itself is in the open or if it is the enclosure with the SSD inside it that is in the open. If it is the enclosure that is in free air but completely encloses the actual SSD, then you need the pad to thermally join the SSD to the enclosure because the air inside the ...

Hi All, Just looking to fill a gap in my understanding; I was wondering why we need a ground lift switch - that is: why do we need the choice?. I understand that the purpose of the switch is to eliminate ground loop hums and it is always described as a benefit to be able to do this. Okay, I'm happy ...

Thanks @GilesAnt, The beam groupings do make sense on the staff in terms of how the music plays out. But it is nice to have the confirmation that it is purely a visual aid. @Sam Spoons... There is the rub... one of the books I'm using used to have a CD, but it has long since gone the distance ...

I am teaching myself Flamenco guitar from sheet music. I can't really 'read' music, but I can 'decode' it to some degree. However, I can't 'hear' the tune in my mind's ear from the staff, so to parody Eric Morecambe, I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily... well, in the right order ...

I'd be interested in taking part... the hearing loss bit I have covered. And if 'noodling-into-cubase-with-countless-new-projects-and-never-finishing-anything-hobbyist' counts as being a producer then I might qualify.

Ah, yes ....RTFM! Whoops!

Now just need to decide if its Amped 2 or 3 Have FX or ability to switch amps... I think the tuner might clinch it.

We'll see!

Hi folks, I'm liking the look of the Blackstar Amped 2 or 3 as a practice headphone/rehersal amp, to save lugging the big amp around. I see it can be used as a USB Audio interface and I'm guessing it is class compliant. To that end, could I use the usb as an AUX in? I want to hook my (android) phone ...

I have an Alesis AI3 ADAT analog-optical interface which has been progressively getting worse. The unit in question is connected optically to my Profire 2626. First signs of problems were that occasionally I would have to 'turn-it-of-and-on-again' to get it to sync and work with the 2626. Over time ...

Intersting. I wonder if I could keep the slab. But distress the front and rear surfaces for the same effect. My mother was a marvelous DIY upholsterer, and I will be enlisting her help, so I think I can get away with less forgiving fabric. It'll be september now when I get to it. But will report ...

I've always been an early adoptor, wanting the latest and (suposedly) greatest. Even with Win 8 and Win 8 mobile! And I have never really had major OS blamable isues. I may well just be lucky, or I don't really test or rely on my setup to the extent that anything short of 100% reliable equates to a ...

yeah, I'm hearing what you are saying about using acoustic fabric. However, I am immediately suspicious of any material sold as "acoustic" material, sounds like an excuse to double the price (and some!) I'm the guy that buys slug tape instead of 'electrically conductive tape' for guitar cavities! Do ...

This video is the design I was going to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO7aeraKLsM Ignoring the nonsense about rockwool being bad for you. But the light weight frames look pretty easy to do. For the fabric, I was going to order some cotton duck canvas for the front and some hessian for the ...
