    True Bypass Looper Relay Switching

    You should be able to take any existing true bypass looper design and substitude a DPDT relay for the DPDT switch. I thought about building one, but decided to get the WOBO Midi Looper instead, because Midi-controlled is what I really wanted. I've been really impressed with it so far.

    Man, you win. That is a steal.

    BPM determination

    Also, since they are MIDI files, you can play them at whatever BPM (tempo) you want without affecting the sound.

    switching between clean and overdrive

    There's really not an easy way to do what you want to do without spending a lot of money. If you just wanted to turn multiple effects on and off with a single stomp, you would want something called a "true bypass loop" pedal. But that won't help switch channels on your amp. I admire what...

    Making my voice "rough" for rock songs

    There is a "right" way to get the raspy vocal sound. You use twice as much air as usual and flex your glottis. If it makes you want to cough, you're doing it wrong. :) A good voice teacher (and not a classical voice teacher) can teach you how to do it so that you don't damage your voice, but...

    any mesa users???

    Why would it ever matter what name is on the front? Just get something that sounds good. You like the JMP-1? Then use it. Don't get a Mesa just because it says "Mesa" on the front. That's stupid. That said, I love my DC-3. :)

    Heroes

    I have a pair of Hearos Hi-Fi that I have worn at concerts and band rehearsal. They change the sound a little bit, but you can work around it at rehearsal as long as you know what's going on. They're definately worth it for reducing the SPL hitting my eardrums.

    Is there a way to figure out what frequency audio is at?

    Thanks, Farview. So everyone quantizes drums? Why not use DFH or something similar? Do you quantize any other instruments? I'm amazed at all the little things people are doing that I don't know about.

    Mixing gone wrong

    If you are going line-out of the BOSS into line-in of your soundcard, you are going digital->analog->digital. If that is the case: 1) it won't matter what sampling rate / bit depth you're using on the BOSS because it's going to analog when it leaves the BOSS 2) if the D/A converter on the BOSS...

    Is there a way to figure out what frequency audio is at?

    Why would you do this? Honest question, I don't understand.

    Who are the main Korean guitar manufacturers and who do they make guitars for?`

    I thought Cor-Tek (Cort) was in Korea as well? I thought they were (a distant) 2nd to Samick. Just what I heard.

    Rant: Upgrade from Sonar HS4 to Sonar 5

    I have the Studio version, and all my plugins worked correctly. The "sfz" thing is the only one that is VST, so it gets put in a different place in the menu. I'm at work and don't remember where the other ones get put, but I have seen and used the sonitus:fx, TTS:1, and GrooveSynth for sure.

    Rant: Upgrade from Sonar HS4 to Sonar 5

    FWIW, I got Sonar5 up and running in 64-bit mode on Win XP x64 with M-Audio Delta 66 Beta drivers yesterday. I made a few quick recordings and was impressed. So far, no issues. I haven't done anything major, though.

    Public Speaking 101

    I don't know about internet forums, but you could try to find a local Toastmasters club. They will help you build confidence and speaking ability. I know someone who became an excellent public speaker from Toastmasters. I recently saw him give an impromptu speech at his own mother's funeral...

    Guitar Scales for Idiots??

    Certainly didn't mean to come off as a jerk or a nazi, but I probably did. Sorry guys. I was entirely self taught until early this year. I started playing with some people who are REALLY GOOD and my as-seen-on-the-internet grasp of theory made it hard for us to communicate. Calling something...

    Guitar Scales for Idiots??

    They are the same tone, but a C Dorian scale has an Eb, not a D#.

    Guitar Scales for Idiots??

    Ok, back up for a second. Play this progression: || C | C | F | G || Now play this one: || G | G | C | D || And this one: || A | A | D | E || See how all three have the same feel? That is because they are the same thing, but in different keys. The first one is in the key of C, the 2nd is...

    Rant: Upgrade from Sonar HS4 to Sonar 5

    I think so.. that sounds right. Either way, all the Delta cards have x64 support.
