Earmaster - need help or advice

There are basically two kinds of "hum": various kinds of noise, distortion, hisses, etc., from devices in the signal path that get amplified by effect or amp gain, and hum (at the AC line frequency...

Getting the "most woody/hollow" sound out of electric archtop?

I've been also very disappointed by the emphasis on singing by EarMaster 7, #1 reason because as far as I remember, there is no taking your voice range into account. Mine is very narrow, very limited...

Earmaster - need help or advice

The way you offset your eighths for the melody really pushes it forward, love it. And for someone who calls themselves "BickertRules", you sure do sound a hell of a lot like George Barnes. You...

"But Not TOO Good!" Original Tune (Contrafact)

Hey! I've searhed for some training apps and when not finding what I needed, I just wrote some javascript for it. Everyone can learn to do that btw:) You can try this:...

Earmaster - need help or advice

Will let others chime in on current products. I have a Pigtronix Infinity which is nice enough but isn't a good value for practice. However, wanted to mention a few features I find useful. 2...

Best Looper for Jazz Standards

There was another brand of Clonedocs.... Olladoc or something like that? ISTR they were from Central or South America, so maybe the same guy with Equator- in both cases the main marketing technique...

Languedoc (ie trey anastasio’s) guitars

Getting the "most woody/hollow" sound out of electric archtop?

My previous post seems to have disappeared, but others covered it well, so OK. Except for the characterization of "Victim or the Crime" as- what was it, pedestrian? What the heck? Moving on... ...

Garcia and the Dead

I never remove the strings from guitars, not even when changing them (I change one, then tune it, so on). Makes cleaning the fretboard a bit more difficult, but I do that very rarely, and never use...

WesMo Setup How Low Can I Go?

That chorus gives me visions of hell.

I like moving photo

Hopefully without being long winded I feel I need to explain a bit more about my search for the perfect pick (for me). While I agree that there are noticeable differences in many aspects of...

It may be time for me to give up my search for the perfect pick.

That was the band’s schtick: Japanese culture as seen by the West; after all, it was their song title. And she takes photographs, like the stereotypical Japanese tourist. On the other hand, her...

Anyone remember the Sadistic Mika Band?

I think you can make solo jazz guitar lively. It's probably a good idea to steer away from too many rubato ballads, although even they can have lively highlights. I agree that incorporating some...

Playing solo gigs question..

Mika Fukui (the singer) divorced Kazuhiko Kato (the guitarist) and married Chris Thomas (the producer). That was the end of the band.

Anyone remember the Sadistic Mika Band?

“Whispering” Bob Harris replaced Richard Williams, who was quieter still. Whistle Test was required viewing in the 1970s, the only regular programme on British television to present rock and other...
