    Worst Recordings - post the stuff that you would rather forget.

    Well, another day and another Jim Beam... Grim, I started listening to this while relaxing in my backyard gazebo, but after a while, I started feeling sorry for my neighbors and had to stop. I finished after I came in and switched to vodka tonics and put in my ear buds (no reason to torture...

    Worst Recordings - post the stuff that you would rather forget.

    I've been pretty amazed at some of the tracks posted here, much to my surprise, a lot of them don't suck in my humble opinion. Some of them are like finger nails on a black board X10! Rob, I have to hand it to you, overall you probably have the best selection of crappy tracks. But, since I...

    A new fake mic from China - this time, the Beta 58

    I worked for a large automotive electronics company with a manufacturing plant in CN. After visiting our plant and speaking to our engineers and vendors, I can tell you without a doubt, that virtually every manufacturer in CN will make parts for you, on your tooling, and turn around and sell the...

    I have the Sony MDR-7506 also. Works well for me tracking guitar or vocals.

    Worst Recordings - post the stuff that you would rather forget.

    Well, when the track starts, I thought it was a jazz tune where everyone was playing something different, then it morphed into something else.... Not sure what I'd call it. I made it all the way thru and I can safely say, WOW. I'm glad I was drinking a big glass of Jim Beam. (y)

    PSA: Do NOT try this at home!

    I can't believe there isn't a video or was a live stream on Tik Tok....

    PSA: Do NOT try this at home!

    Some friends of mine were doing this and static electricity set it off while they were filling the bag. The guy standing over the bag got blown 20 feet and the side of his face was scorched and he lost his hearing in that ear. He told me later that when he got home, his wife asked "what the hell...

    Free alternative to Melodyne

    Practice makes perfect. Just practice singing any time you can, and a wide variety of different songs. It will improve your vocal abilities and range. Up until a few years ago, I never sang, I just played guitar. Then I got interested in writing songs and performing covers of songs I like...

    Free alternative to Melodyne

    Reaper comes with a plugin called "ReaTune" that works pretty good if you don't need to do any major editing. I used it for a while before I bought Melodyne.

    Better laptop

    Max out the ram. I went from 16 to 32 in my Dell, and it made a big difference.

    It turned out silly again..

    You just have to find your vocal niche Lazer. A few weeks ago, someone posted a cover of You Wear It Well by Rod Stewart that needed a vocal. I think you might do OK on that.

    I like it, I kept waiting for the vocals.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Me too. I got one of the super cheap (free) Rogue guitars Guitar Center was giving away when you bought a 12 pack of D'addario strings, and much to my surprise, it sounds really good! I have a couple of Guild D-25's and I really like the way they sound, but the Rogue was a pleasant surprise.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Does it have a compensated bridge? I have a D'Angelico that had a piezo transducer under a compensated bridge and Am always sounded weird. Like it was out of tune, but the individual notes were in tune. I couldn't figure it out. I finally removed the transducer and installed a straight bridge...

    Finally dealt with the sticky rubber case on my H4N Pro

    Use gasoline on the tacky rubber. Soak a shop rag and wipe the sticky rubber off. Once the sticky feeling is gone, wipe off the gasoline residue with 99% alcohol.

    Buy Of The Year

    Be happy you don't resemble someone who's picture is in the post office (wanted by [insert three letter agency here] in the USA). I always thought drunken women were the best, just sayin'.

    Acoustic Guitar Strings

    I use D'Addario phosphor bronze EJ16 on my acoustics, and have for many years. They last a long time (probably because I'm too lazy to change them). After they have been played a few months the tone doesn't seem to change much anymore. I change them when they start looking bad.
