I play guitar and bass with a Fender Thin pick. I've used Medium picks to eliminate some noise problems, but I always return to Thins. I don't finger pick guitar, but I do finger pluck the bass when called for. I've been having a problem while strumming my acoustics - on the downstrokes, my pick...

I usually shy away from synths or related gear, but this bit of kit seems really cool - fun, even. https://minichord.com/

I just tripped across this and thought it may be of interest to those running Linux. https://cdm.link/linux-plugin-guide/ And this link embedded within : https://linuxdaw.org/

I just inadvertently tripped across something in Windows 11 - I have no idea if this is a Win 11 or Reaper or Google Chrome thing. . . they're intertangled. See if you can follow me on this . . . My situation involves Reaper renders and Win 11. Go to the System Search bar next to the Windows...

Since I upgraded from XP to Win 10 and installed Reaper with an interface to kick off my bedroom studio venture at my previous residence, I've recently moved up to a new Win 11 system and, though I've got some fairly good monitors, I've had the itch to add some stereo speakers for checking mixes...

Whad'ya think of these mics? There's one on vocals and one on instruments. These are picking up everything and sounding awfully good in the process. I think anyway. Cool design too.

After updates are downloaded, and the installation begins, do I need to maintain an internet connection, or will the installations continue without? ______________________ Previously, my Win 10 PC had a constant internet connection and all auto updates took place in the wee morning hours while...

My new PC has four USB-A 3.2 ports and one C port (not using). I'll be plugging my printer and interface directly into the rear ports, and alternately, my SSD/phone (hotspot) into the front port. I'll need at least one more to add both keyboard and mouse. I'm looking at adding an unpowered USB...

I started posting about this in Prime Time's 'What's going on with everybody?'s thread. Instead of clogging up that thread, I thought to just have an ongoing thread here in the 'VSTs, etc. forum. ___________________________ Moving my Ampeg SVT Suite from old Win 10 to new Win 11 desktop...

Just tripped across this. File it under Stuff I Never Knew. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/gear/this_unconventional_guitar_amp_was_used_on_several_famous_albums_and_its_possibly_the_first_modeler_ever_made.html

I recently switched my internet connection from ISP ethernet modem to my android phone as a hotspot. This has greatly reduced my download speeds, but not too bad. Most things I download aren't that large and still move at a good pace. However. . AmpliTube 5 CS has a recent update from 5.7 to...

Looks like the Theme Adjuster for Version 7.x has arrived. Kenny's got a video.

I know this is far from a home studio. I just tripped across this place in my morning meanderings - The Power Station Berklee NYC. Around here, we have lots of talk concerning reflections in small rooms and taming them with various panels, bogos, carpeting, tile, etc. When I saw this pic of the...

This is from the mid 60's. Body shaped like a Strat, but the bridge pickup, cord socket and almost clear signage on headstock are from another world.

I'm always checking out microphones I see on old TV shows - game shows mostly. In my online searches today, I came across these two sites. The first has the Shure SM5, and the second is a Reverb page with some nice pics of one for sale at the time but has sold...

I'm using an image here instead of actual text because a similar situation happens when I copy/paste to this thread. All the blank spaces between guitar chord names are collapsed so they show up here as ADG.

I was checking out their matched pairs - videos with various acoustic guitars, etc. I wasn't too impressed with their sound favoring the lower frequencies, could've just been the guitars used - one was a Seagull who's models I've always thought to be a little too much on the muddy/bassy side...

Harbinger VARI SM505 5" / SM508 8" Studio Monitors With 3-Voice DSP and Bluetooth What are your thoughts on the idea behind these? Not their performance features, just the idea. I'm set up in a small bedroom with virtually zero sound treatment and I'm thinking I could put a pair of these 5" jobs...

Strange but cool . . . the last dozen or so times I've set my Strat up to record, or at least practice, I've gotten this intermittent humming or smooth buzzing sound in my headphones. Not an electrical sound at all, more like what you hear in your head when one or both ears are plugged with...
