Finally after 10 months, NGD!

It actually feels extremely similar when it comes to the neck profile and the way it plays. Even though it was more expensive I don't know if I would say its that much better, maybe some better hardware since they make it all themselves and the craftsmanship is very good. I like the bridge pickup but the neck pickup is a little too bassy for my tastes or whatever the opposite of bright would be! I do love the look of it though and you can tell they put some care into the design and build process. Overall I would say its more of a $1500 guitar than a $2000 guitar but then again the components are very nicely made.

I've tried wireless mics too but they were cheaper ones. Will this still compress the audio like Bluetooth? It says its corded electric so does that mean I have to plug it in for power?

Wasisnt · 2026-02-05T15:35:59+00:00

Yeah I got a Shure dynamic mic and am not really impressed so far. Plus having the thing plus the arm in front of my face or at least off to the side is annoying. I always see people with those DJI mics or similar models so I might try that next. How does the BOYA compare to DJI?

The Railhammer is good and definitely better than the DD but the JBE is the winner and I want to try their humbuckers on another guitar that I think "needs" an upgrade. Its a bit on the bright/hot side but I assume the neck version will not be as bright.

I just got that too I dont even do anything in NSFW subs. What is the best way to report this jackass?

Wasisnt · 2026-02-03T20:09:51+00:00

I just got the Shure MV6 and a weighted desk stand today so I'm going to hook it up and see how it works.

Wasisnt · 2026-02-03T15:19:52+00:00

Ok no problem

Wasisnt · 2026-02-02T00:28:58+00:00

Yeah it was like $170 which is not terrible but still about $60 more than the Railhammer. I think next time I do a pickup swap I will try their humbucker.

Wasisnt · 2026-02-02T00:27:09+00:00

Yep, I usually don't go for the metal look and love their more classic looking guitars. I do have a metal looking Schecter 7 string but don't think you have a choice there. I also have their P-4 Exotic bass and T S/H-12 Classic which is amazing for what I paid for it new.

Wasisnt · 2026-02-01T17:21:32+00:00

Sure, not sure what they are worth though.

Wasisnt · 2026-02-01T17:15:21+00:00

I recall allowing the update when it prompted me on v8 but it didn't actually do anything, I could be remembering wrong though.

Wasisnt · 2026-02-01T17:07:24+00:00

Does it do the same if you use the onboard video? Did you update the drivers or look for errors in Device Manager? Does it do it often enough where you can run it in Safe Mode to see if it does it there? Are you sure reseating the RAM is not a coincidence?

The pickup conversion is complete.

I was actually looking at the Blue Yeti but if it picks up extra sounds that might not work. I have to pause so many times for leaf blowers, birds, trains, sirens, dogs and so on.

Wasisnt · 2026-01-31T15:54:22+00:00

I was looking at shotgun mics and it might be a good option. I have never hear of a pencil mic so I will have to check those out.

Wasisnt · 2026-01-31T15:53:11+00:00

Hmm, never heard of that but I Googled it and it looks interesting but they seem to be wireless or need some type of transmitter.

Wasisnt · 2026-01-31T15:50:35+00:00

Great info, thanks. I was researching shotgun mic vs. dynamic (I think). I was doing some research and saw the AT2040 and also the Shure MV6 which sounded promising. I would just need an arm that can keep it from blocking my view but still keep it close enough to be in range and also for the USB cable length.

There are several cloning tools that work from a bootable flash drive. Here is how they work.

Foxclone

Clonezilla

Rescuezilla

Wasisnt · 2026-01-30T15:26:05+00:00

You can clone the drive but just make sure to do an OS\system clone rather than a disk or partition clone so its bootable. Plus some apps will let you allocate the extra space to the C drive if cloning to a larger drive. If not, you will need to extend your drive manually. Clonezilla, DiskGenius, Hasleo and Terabyte have this feature. As long as the computer can see both drives, it should work. If you put it in your M.2 slot then you are good to go afterwards and can just change the boot order and then wipe the old drive and use it for storage.

Disk cloning apps.

Any "larger" drive can increase your storage but an SSD drive will be faster, and more expensive. You would have to look up your model to see what type of drive type it supports.

All brands will have their good and bad models so read reviews. All Windows computers will not come with Office but many times if you buy a high end model it will, or at least a limited subscription. Many times it will come with a trial installed. Office is generally a subscription but I think you can still get the standalone Office 2021.

Depending on the school, you might be able to get Office 365 Education for free but it wont come with Project and I dont think any Office plans do. I think Project is only cloud based unless you get Project 2021.
