    The Chair

    Ya know . . . one thing about desk chairs, even living room recliners (La-Z-Boy, e.g.), the so-called headrests . . . I find them useless. When I sit all the way back and place my head against the rest it feels like I'm twisting my spine out of position. I can get my shoulders firmly back into...

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    Yeah. I'm just trying to clarify that.

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    When you say "track", do you mean tracks in a song are all the same volume, or the (mixed) songs themselves are different volumes?

    Gibson is not a good company.

    Slightly on-topic. . My '76 LP had the word 'second' stamped into the back of the headstock about 1/4-inch deep, horizontally, at the top. I bought it off a co-worker - with a small combo amp for $300. I never could tell if the guitar or just the neck was 'second'. Pawnshop verified...

    The Chair

    I was about to buy this one from Office Depot for $114 on sale, but when I checked in to buy, it was off sale @ $299 again. Yikes !! Now I'm crawling through Amazon for a similar unit. Update : Just found this same chair on Amazon for $135. Sweet ! I love it when a plan comes together 8-)

    :unsure: Maybe I can start a GoFundMe and raise $40,000 for a new chair . . :p

    The Chair

    I have to put a foot on one chair leg and, with lever pulled, grab the seat cushion and pull up - it raises slowly, then sinks quickly when I let go.

    The Chair

    Well, it's been 6 years and my original chair is still in use, but not for long. The PU leather has cracked a tiny bit on the seat cushion at the front corners, and moreso on the armrest pads. These areas are, of course, where I put the most weight, so it's been expected, though not the reason...

    Acoustic guitar distortion

    As a kid, me and my best friend would whistle at the same time. Not the little whistle like 'whistle while you work', the big loud whistle where you curl your lips in and poke your tongue out - or stick some fingers in. . that loud whistle. Anyway . . we would both whistle and it would produce...

    The process

    When writing new, original material, do you consciously avoid sounding like well known songs? Do you not concern yourself with sounding alike? Do you make an effort to copy-cat instrument or vocal parts? I have tried not sounding like other's songs, not only to please myself, but in an effort...

    Referencing a Mix on a Sh*tty Speaker

    I haven't actually done this yet, but . . My immediate thoughts went straight to The Beatles' single "sh*tty" monitor speaker (I forget which speaker that was, may not have been "sh*itty, just a "sh*itty listening experience). So I've been planning on getting some 5-inch monitors (not a cube)...

    Squire Strat $120 on Amazon

    I'm going down the same road wanting more of the humbucking sound with a $135-$140 Harley Benton SC450 GT P90. What can go wrong. . . Right?

    Unusual Guitar

    Here's an SG 'bassitar' ? A 6-string guitar with all guitar strings removed and replaced with only 2 bass guitar strings. Here you see (and hear) it in action : The Presidents of the United States

    How make horizontal scroll bar bigger!!??

    Me and the scroll bar have never gotten along. This may not help much, but I find it marginally easier to move the mouse cursor over the bar button or any space to left/right of it, then, instead of grabbing the button with the left mouse button, use the mousewheel to scroll left/right. This...

    Down and dirty recording a live jam

    LOL! I Went through this earlier today with Reaper. I set up a mic for acoustic guitar . . . guitar tuned . . . levels set . . . GO ! I was halfway through when I missed a chord change and looked over to see a track with zero waveform! :laughings::facepalm: I began by hitting the spacebar, not...

    The process

    Those first two tracks were the original dry Strat through a Low Shelf EQ and then that track duplicated with Fender Twin Reverb and rack flange sims added. I then recorded a new third track with my Taylor Big Baby acoustic through an AT2020 XLR mic using ReaEQ's Close Mic Acoustic preset. I...
