I missed this because I've been quite busy, but that's judgmental as all heck. Go listen to the black metal band Thorns' self titled album if you want to see what layering sounds without having to re-record some of the tracks sounds like. The artist was going for an almost clinical sound, very...
I am a sensitive person and already told you I was recovering from an illness. If you can't deal with that, then that's on you. I'm sorry I ever asked you a question. Good day.
Hey Dave and others: SUCCESS! I walked to the hardware store, bought 20 feet of thin copper wire, wrapped it around one of the instrument cables, then cut it and wrapped the other end around my ankle (and used a small amount of electrical tape so that the wire didn't move), and IT WORKS!
You...
Ok so I'm seeing this. The alligator clip would go on, say, the metal part of an instrument cable plugged into the Line 6 then? Not sure I'd want to use an alligator clip on it though; maybe simply wrapping a copper wire around my leg and then around the instrument cable (or otherwise so that...
I also wonder if I could purchase an anti-static mat and just stand on that with the alligator clip connected to the bottom of a pant leg; the pants of course I'd be wearing :P. If so it would also serve a great secondary purpose if and when I build my next PC. Something like this maybe...
Hmm..tie a wire to the metal body of a jack plug. That might work. What kind of metal wire? Copper, steel? Would a steel unwound guitar string work?
Also, I hope my lamp idea works. I do know that my guitars are old and need servicing, so regardless of the grounding issue that's something...
Yes I'm in northeast USA. The internal ground screening of the cables, and switching instruments, gives me some ideas that I haven't been able to put in place yet (I'm very busy right now). I wonder if a nearby floor lamp would work--it's plugged in, and is my main source of light for my...
That's correct. I really want to double track it without having to re-record it. Some people would call this a cop-out, but my songs have a huge number of tracks. Do you know of a way to do this with the Zoom R20, or how it might be termed in the manual so I can search it?
Can you explain what you mean by "earth free" exactly, and what connecting to the mains socket means? I apologize for my newbiness; as I said, I'm 12 years away from my last real studio work. I also taught myself at that time, so there's a ton I'm missing I'm sure.
Two things occurred to me...
