    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    If you're hearing buzz you're hearing the wrong thing. I can't hear any buzzing. I'm gonna just do the saddle/ nut stuff when I get time and report back. No idea when I'll have time. I'll check in when I can here but in the meantime feel free to chat among yourselves etc and see what you come...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    I wouldn't pay much attention to my comments about 800hz...(or to the year I bought my guitar in for that matter - saw your post about that earlier)...from memory that was a wild guess. Listen for the issue at 6:31 in the video. That's the issue I have. Frankly, that's all you need to know...

    Well you can hear it in the video. It's rather hard to say exactly what freq it is since other fundamental notes from multiple strings are in the mix at the same time. It appears to be the combination of notes that create the issue...this overtone, harmonic tone, issue, whatever we are calling it.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    I don't think you're correct there. I know it's a long thread with lots of rambling, but I've already mentioned that it is not microphone resonance. String harmonics yeah that's likely depending on how we define terms etc. It's not microphone resonance though, because as I said the issue occurs...

    It is on the video I linked too. Listen to the 6:31 minute mark. That's the issue right there. So whatever that is...what's going on and how do you fix it is the question.

    I play anywhere. Same issue. It's the guitar.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Setup, they were both pro setup. Probably long in the tooth now much like myself. So I will renew the setups and all that. I doubt my ears are too well tuned. The video example at 6:31 doesn't take special ears to hear. It's a great example and plain as day. I'll be back.... ...whenever I get...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    So all guitars with a natural resonance of G will maybe ring out and exhibit this outrageous phenomenon. Or all guitars that resonate at G AND with saddle, nut, only saddle, only nut or both or both combined with some other X factor or any one of saddle/ nut and or combined with whatever unknown...

    I'm getting the exact resonance/ issue as at 6:31 in that video when playing the chords the guy is playing. On both guitars. Anyway, thanks. I'll roll up my sleeves when I get some quality time and begin the saddle and nut appraisals. See you around the clubs.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Sure. I like to takes a gander at all angles and discuss a range of approaches, theories, speculations first. Including the curious detail regarding my 2 guitars and the guitar in the video all having the same issue. Got an acoustic laying around? Strum those last 2 strings like I mentioned...

    I'm fine with replacing whatever I need to replace. But I'm interested in why both my guitars are doing this (a dread and a concert)...and the guitar in the video.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    We'll struggle with terms and definitions to describe what I'm talking about until the end of time I suppose. But yes, if you're around 6:31 you'll hear it. The 6:31 you draw attention to is a classic example. Perfect example. You nailed it. That (and here come the words/ terms and vocab...

    - no difference - no difference - no difference - not fully sure yet but nut and saddle appear fine - no problem - no problem What do you make of the video I linked? The video has a great example of what's happening. Can you hear it?

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Maybe. What do you reckon is going on with the brand new guitar in the video in post #90?

    Yeah.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    I worked out the absolute worst, most offending problem is the G string. When played G open string for example the plucked note - the basic or fundamental note...is accompanied by this sympathetic/ harmonic/ overtone-like ghost tone that will join in on the fundamental milliseconds after the...

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    No I'm literally saying that the sample selections are questionable themsleves. Humanize settings are applied. It will throw in a different snare sample hit if it wants to...but it will be jarring or ham fisted much of the time. And yeah, velocity varying is what I do. It's a machine. There's no...

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    Mostly it is the MIDI. But also the way EZD3 tends to use the exact same sample over and over. Even the variations/ articulations are the same...if there are any noticeable variations in any part. But yeah, the MIDI can tend toward the robotic.

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    Thanks. I can vouch for the fact that EZD3 has its fair share of very shotgun-like, robotic rides, hats, snares, kicks etc. Many of them are laughable really. Not to say it's all bad coz some of the midi is ok. But plenty of it is not. I've never had a midi programming game and should start...

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    Yeah I used to do it that way...exactly like you said...dumpster dive for midi/ beat/ groove that fits. But I found it way too frustrating. I did it A LOT like that. Many, many songs. But was rarely happy with the feel. Coz though you find something that matches...it rarely matches well enough...
