Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews.
Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. A piece of gear I recently got is a Behringer qx1622USB mixer. Im still trying to figure out how exactly it works, hard to find owners of the same board to ask for a button layout or so.Interesting thing is that people often asociate Behringer with crappy quality and loads of noise, while I am actually not noticing that at all on this mixer. If it starts later on I will return it, but Im cautiously optimistic for now. Anyone have experience with these?

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews.
Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. O [[wow]]. I really like this topic. Discussing about guitars, fx, amp, in short your gear. My main instrument is guitar. And im currrently using an ybanez Gu. I dont know what is the exam model because this is just a secondhand. I have also one floyd roze guitar but I dont use it too much because when i dive bomb it goes out of tune. Wish I could buy an original one this is the only thing that is not secondhand. Multi effects processor. I currently use zoom G7.1 UT. But i havent figured out the settings because I missplace my printed manual. Note, this is also a secondhand. Amps. Im using marshall MG15fx amp and this is not secondhand, i bought it through my savings. Has any of you tried using zoom multyple effects processor here? thanks. I have a suggestion asult freak improving your speed. You need to learn a song but it is not necessary metal or some songs that has a fast guitar licks. You can check out Paul Gilberts solo and i r ecommend you to listen this songs, I cannot tell a lie or I still have that other girl. It is cool. You can also listen to Guthrie Govans emotive balad. And in my case, im improving my speed in a way of playing whats inside my head. I just create guitar licks. My favorite technique is string skipping but i still have to practice because im having difficulty playing it. I am not a fun of exercises. I just play whats inside my head, learn some stuffs, or listen to a guitar demonstrations. I hope this will help for those who wants to build there picking speed and, Thanks and best regards: Chris.

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews.
Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. the problem is that picking speed cant be improved just by playing random licks and solos... because you cant learn to play those unless you know the exact fingerings. I personally enjoy exercises, but thanks for letting me know about the songs... I will check them out for sure!

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. If you want to play the synths or keyboards with your guitar and chords arent important to you, you can buy Sonuus g2m (guitar to midi). Although you can play only one note at a time, you still can get leads or cool basslines with it. I got it for about 95 eur, which in dollars should be a bit more. A couple of videos about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fGHFtlt97whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEb4sNVNCjQIm going to As it detects one note at a time, youve gotta have really clean playing technique and different picks can yeald different results.

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. I listened to that review and the fuzz sound was quite beafy and had a really nice bottom end.One thing though, as I know, but of course I can be wrong, is that Brittish sound is usually associated with the more mid ranged, cutting sound, think of Marshalls and the American e.g. Fenders have more bottom end.Really liked the description, gave a good overview how this beast looks like.

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews.

So I wont talk about the specs here, partly because I dont understand allot of them and partly because its got way more than the headphones.People who are in the know, do seem to think its pretty good though.Ive got a Western Digital My Passport Ultra 1TB USB 3.0 external portable HDD, with aprox 250GB of unlicensed sounds, not for comercial production.Ive got plenty of big stuff from Sound Ideas, Hollywood Edge, Soni, and BBC, as well as some smaller names like Akai and Alegro, and one time only colaberative libraries like Sound Ideas and Disney, and Sound Ideas and Lucas Arts, as well as some promotional sets like Soun d Ideas the great big whoosh DVD Combo, Hollywood Edge Evil FX 6 CD Set, BBC Horror 1977 1978 and onward, totally grose sound effects from hell, and some game sounds, Dota, TF2, Fist Full of Frags, L4D2, Portal 2, the Battle Field 4 Beta, Counterstrike Global Offensive, Super Street Fighter 4 thanks to Assault Freak, etc.Ive got some free samples from Imphenzia, 1SoundFX, and BlastwaveFX, and lots of packs and single sounds from freesound.org, as well.Ive also got a blue snowball USB mic with a missing cord thanks to a confusing and sudden move, that was just one of many, , and an Olympus LS7 portable digital audio recorder with 24bit 96khz max quality recording, WMA MP3 and PCM WAV filetype support with options for each, 3 front facing Mics 1 omnidirectional 2 stereo, 120 degree max stereo spread, built in Preamp, low cut filter, recording presets, voice filt ering, zoom settings, pre recording, input monitoring through 3.5MM stereo, built in speaker, 2 powered 1.5V XLR ports for external microphones, timed and level activated recording, 50 foot optimal range, microphone sensativity settings, and playback filters, 8gb of on board storage, and a standard SD slot that can take up to 64GB cards, rechargeable batteries

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. All right, I try to list my music gear.Instruments:My electric is Schecter hellraiser avenger. At first it had EMG pickups, but as I couldnt get so nice clean tones out of them, I got them changed to some Gibsons (I dont remember the exact name of them). Theres also coil tap installed, so I can get some nice single coil tones.Acoustic: Washburn wd15. Has quite a large dreadnaught sound and as I tune my guitars whole step lower, it suits me really well.lap steel: Peavey powerslide. Also quite a good change and in addition to playing it the standard way, you can also, thanks to the strap system, play it by standing.electric bass: Yamaha rbx180- Im not sure about the number though.Acoustic bass: Ibanez AEB10E I also have a Tenson strat copy, which is actually quite crappy instrument, but as it is my first electric, it stil holds a sentimental value for me.Mandolin: Vintage vfm500er.Small synth and dru m machine: Korg monotribe2 didgeridoos and 8 jews harps.Amps:My tube amp is Laney lc15 - has quite a distinctive tone, but Im starting to grow tired of it.Micro amps: Roland Microcube, Marshall ms2 and Blackstar Fly 3. Got the latter one a couple of weeks ago and I really love it! You can check it out from the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA02o_BThTcBass amp Hartke Kickback 15. I have recently quite rarely used it.Processors:My main processor is Digitech rp360xp. Is really cheap and has quite good tones inside. I usually run it straight to the mixer or soundcard. The knobs make a nice click when they are turned, so I know quite easily, where I am in the effects chain, so it is quite accessible. unfortunately the software is not.Before buying it I got myself Boss gt100. When reading the manual I got the impression that it is quite usable for the blind. But when I received the unit, it turned out that none of the knobs clicked when turned. So I had no idea in which part of the effects chain (distortions, comps, amp simulations, modulations etc) I was at. And as the order of effects was quite different in different patches and you have to turn the knob just a tiny amount, it was a real pain to use. SO I returned it.I also have Vox Tonelab EX, but I dont use it any more, due to the fact that it is quite limited. But it gave me quite a good introduction to effect processors.stompboxes and pedals: The main two pedals I use besides the processor is Digitech Whammy and Jamman solo xt looper.Besides them I also have Rocktron Rampage distortion, Big muff, and a chorus/flanger, delay and wah from Ibanez.

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. @assault_freakHave you played the slide guitar?If yes, it isnt much different, the difference is that you put the lap steel in your lap, so the strings are facing the ceiling. I cannot find a better way to explain this. Reminds me that quite a lot of blind players tend to play the regular guitar at first like this, myself included. Dont really know why.Lap steel players usually tend to use a different kind of slide, so instead of putting the slide on your finger, they use the kind of bar you can hold between your fingers, so you get more controll over it. It also enables you to make behind the bar bends, meaning that you grab a string behind the bar with your pinky and ring finger and bend it. Makes a cool pedal steel type of sound.

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. @assault_freakIt isnt much different to the slide playing, the difference is that you put the lap steel in your lap, so the strings are facing the ceiling. I cannot find a better way to explain this. Reminds me that quite a lot of blind players tend to play the regular guitar at first like this, myself included. Dont really know why.Lap steel players usually tend to use a different kind of slide, so instead of putting the slide on your finger, they use the kind of bar you can hold between your fingers, so you get more controll over it. It also enables you to make behind the bar bends, meaning that you grab a string behind the bar with your pinky and ring finger and bend it. Makes a cool pedal steel type of sound. So yeah, I like to play it occasionally. What is really cool about it is that it makes Marshall ms2 sound quite good. When playing some rock and metal stuff through it with the usual electric guitar, it sounds crappy. But this really small, mid ra nge tone sounds awesome with the bluesy stuff. SO I could go busking with it.

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews.
Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. Hmm. cool1 I love country, so learning the slide technique would be fun... but it sounds difficult. lol Im trying to improve finger speed for my fretting hand and picking speed so I can play faster electric lead... just need to find a good way to practice with. If you have recommendations for exercises, let me know. Heres my gear list... and Ill start reviewing soon.Electric: I have an ESP LTD h401fm, which is a rare guitar... and I cant find it anywhere these days. I got it for a steal deal... the regular retail price was smewhere like 1299, and I lucked onut on boxing week and got it for 400 instead. Its got two EMG humbuckers in it, and I can use them either coil tapped or full with a five way selector, so I can get that nice creamy gibson tone as well as a more stratty bite sound if I want something a little sharper. I typically play contemporary christian worship which is like a form of alternative rock, as well as some 80s rock and some h arder stuff when I want to have a bit more fun, and on occasion some country or blues , so this works very well... I love this guitar.Acoustic: I have a fender sonoran wildwood acoustic / electric hybrid, and it works great. the body is nice and resonant, though not as basy as I would personally like. Antoher deal... I got this guitar for about $180, after a trade in of an old guitar and the sale price of 350 compared to the regular 450. this guitar is great for rock and country, pop also, and the pickup has an onboard eq which is great, and it connects well. the wood is great with a solid top which adds for more lows and mids, which I like.Processors and AmpsI have a line 6 Pod HD 300 as my processor. Theres actually a lot that can be done by just using the effects knobs on the top of the board. they dont click but each effects knob will give you up to three different effect categories, and adjusts the intensity of those categories while the presets knob actually changes the effect. This processor also functions as a virtual peddle board, so you can have it turn on and off certain effects in the chain like a real board. Lots of connectors and can be plugged into anything either through a standard 1/4 inch jack or an xlr output if you want to use it as a DI for a mixer or go into a PA system.Amp: I recently got a Trayner ygl1, an amp made in Canada. Its an all tube combo and pumps out a good 15 wats... I actually just got it yesterday, so I havent had time to play with it yet. but hopefully will be posting recordings soon of all the gear just to add more to the discussion!My last piece of gear is a relatively new find called the Beat Buddy. Its a drum machine thats been built into a guitar peddle... you cant hammer out your own beats on the device itself, but as the beats are all midi files you can create your own easily enough. The manager software is not accessible as of yet, but be cause this is an indie project the developers have been pretty responsive to me and are looking into it. this comes with 200 or so songs in 10 different styles, and the drum set and song selection knobs all click, so its easy to count where you are. all the drum samples sound great, as theyre all real live recorded samples and not digitally editted ones... and theyre also non quantized, so weird cutting and looping that sometimes happens on machines doesnt happen as often with this device. Will be putting up recordings of that too!

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. Hmm, it is quite hard for me to point out some perticular good exercises or videos, because Ive accumulated the stuff over the years from many different places. But Ive been enjoying videos from Rob Chapmans channel, the same channel where the blackstar fly 3 review was, so you can find it there. seams to be a cool chap and they have quite a lot of fun reviewing the stuff. There are also some lessons, but mainly the gear reviews. They reviewed the beat buddy too.[[wow]], you were quite lucky indeed by getting those instruments so cheap!Im also trying to practice my speed, mainly alternate picking. Sweeping is something Im really struggling, but I decided to get good first at alternate and then some day trying to sweep.Maybe someday I will make some reviews myself, but who knows when will it be. But you can listen to a couple of pieces of mine from soundcloud.https://soundcloud.com/gerth-jaanim-e/Põhjala avarused translates as The vast lands of the north is recorded with my jews harp.Kapates hobusel - Trotting on a horsse is recorded with the guitar straight to the Digitech rp360xp, then to the looper and straight to the soundcard.Hommikuvaikuses - In the silence of the morning The same setup, except the Tonelab EX was used instead of rp360xp.Rock on!

Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews.
Re: music tech and gear discussion and reviews. I dont play metal, so sweeping isnt really something I need to learn, at least not yet. lol I can do alternate picking.. my main problem is finger speed on my left hand which frets. Im going to keep looking and see what I can find... and Ill start reviewing maybe in the next few days. Ill check out those pieces you sent!
