Hi, I thought that I would post a summary of my experience with this. Today I bought the D'Addario Planet Waves Dual-Strap Lock, and I am quite impressed by it. However, on my Casino there is so little room between the strap and strap button/lug that once I had struggled to get the Dual-Strap...

Hi RFR, Thanks for the extremely quick response. Good to know that I am on the right track with thinking about a longer screw.

Hi, I am wondering how I would go about making a bigger space between my strap lug and the body of the guitar in order to let me put on a Grolsch rubber washer, or a metal washer for use as a strap block. I am asking this because, while this works on one of my electrics, there is not quite...

Hi, I am really interested in hearing from those who have played and/or own(ed) the most recent models of the Deluxe Roadhouse Strat, and the Deluxe Strat (i.e., the ones with the Vintage Noiseless Pickups, not the previous generation with Texas Specials). I know that there is another thread...

Hi Keith, Thanks for your reply. The Cube 40 XL does seem to be difficult to find - almost as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth. I presume that is because they are so good. I will never be able to fathom why Roland (Boss) discontinued this range of amps. I have the original Cube 30, and it...

Hi, I am closed to dowtown Toronto, and am looking for a Roland 40 XL guitar amp in mint, or very good condition. Thanks.

Hi mjbphotos, Thanks for this. I had some really interesting and unexpected recording experiences regarding the above, after posting my original message. 1. When I went out of the amp into my looper by using the 'Recording Out/'Phones' socket, I initially got a huge amount of hiss (for this, I...

Hi mixsit, Just saw this. I think that alot of one's sensitivities to sound also depend on one's DNA. I seem to have a very sensitive body - the tinnitus is getting worse, and after a few weeks of intense guitar practice recently, which I really, really enjoyed, I seem to have worsened some...

Hi, I have two questions which I cannot find an answer for here. Apologies if there are existing threads which I have missed which discuss these questions. I have the Jamman Looper / Phrase Sampler (the model with two footswitches, which was discontinued when Digitech introduced the four...

Even though I have played guitar since I was approximately 12 years old, I have always been extremely careful about not listening to and playing music at high volumes. I am currently 55, and had my ears tested almost 20 years ago by an audiologist in order to have some musicians' ear plugs...

I used to love GarageBand when I was using my Mac to record my songs. It was simple, and quick. When I switched to PCs as my DAW, I took the plunge and started to use Reaper. Even though I had been recording in the analogue and digital worlds for a number of years, for some reason, I found...

Dug out my Zoom R 16, and set up so that I can successfully get a signal into Reaper, but am wondering if there is another setting that I could activate in Reaper which would enable me to be able to either monitor or print the Zoom R 16's FX when I am recording into Reaper. The display on the R...

Hi, I hope that I am posting this in the correct forum. Hi, I am wondering what people would suggest about constructing MIDI drum tracks either through a keyboard controller, or using (in my case) my old drum machine, an Alesis SR 16 (using one of these cables SANOXY USB MIDI Cable Converter...

Hi, Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but if it is not, I am sure that this will be moved to a more appropriate one. I was thinking about getting either a wireless or bluetooth mouse for use with my DAW of choice (Reaper), in Windows 10, with my laptop, and am wondering if people have...

Hi ashcat, Many thanks for the very helpful and detailed reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond so thoughtfully. To answer your question, I find editing MIDI to be much simpler than editing audio files, so I was looking for a way to convert the audio files to MIDI, and then...

Hi bouldersoundguy, Many thanks for this. Out of curiosity, why do you think that the Zoom R 16 has the 'Stereo Link' capability? It sounds like it may be for a purpose such as the one I am describing, but that committing to a stereo track during the recording stage might deprive one of some...

Hi miroslav, Many thanks for your comprehensive and thoughtful reply. I was actually planning on using 3 mics.. I am confused, though, about something. After posting my question, above, I came across this article - 'How To Pan An Acoustic Piano' - which suggests (if I understand it correctly)...

Hi, I have never really attempted stereo recording before, but will be starting to experiment recording an upright piano tomorrow, so please forgive any naivete contained in this question. If I want to record the piano in stereo (regardless of whether I use A/B, X/Y, or MS techniques), should...

Hi, I just bought some drum .WAV files ('Ringo Goes Indie'), and would like to convert them to MIDI for editing. I am not, at this point, looking to replace the existing drums with other drums. I understand that Reatune can convert audio to MIDI, but from reading another thread here on the...

Used to use GarageBand, and loved it, regardless of what some say. Now that I have less access to my Mac (and I use PCs more, anyway), I have started to use Reaper, and can see that it is extremely flexible. I would highly recommend it.
