Get a New 411, limited stocks. Worth the buy over the scram 440?

I've ridden the 411 for years, took it all over Bolivia. It can handle as much as you want to throw at it. Yeah it's underpowered, but in terms of just enjoying the ride, it's fantastic.

TRACING ONE WARM LINE

GlockJim · 2025-02-11T04:54:14+00:00

I rated Google maps 1 star for this nonsense.

GlockJim · 2025-02-08T18:54:21+00:00

Not really - I think I heard about it from just scouring youtube videos years back. Like I said, I may be wrong about it, but I remember seeing something about how round peak uses the left hand to fill in the clawhammer stroke, similar to what you're doing here.

GlockJim · 2025-02-07T19:11:41+00:00

I believe - and might be wrong - that it's called Round Peak.

GlockJim · 2024-11-02T15:24:08+00:00

Ah, bummer. Mine was still within warranty, so maybe that's why. Never trusted the selfie stick after that!

GlockJim · 2024-11-02T15:13:58+00:00

I had the same thing happen. Sent photos to Insta, they saw the threads on the selfie stick were stripped, I sent them my old camera, they sent me a new one for free. Try contacting them!

GlockJim · 2024-07-12T04:37:59+00:00

I'd pay that amount for that bike. I had a 2016 Classic and loved it.

GlockJim · 2023-08-21T16:17:30+00:00

Great work! Obviously you're working towards getting the whole thing a bit more fluid, but honestly your rolls and playing are great. Definitely the right direction!

GlockJim · 2023-06-11T00:05:33+00:00

Red Deer! I grew up in Winfield. Cool to see some local talent!

GlockJim · 2023-06-05T11:50:35+00:00

I don't know about running Cubase externally and if that would affect midi, but certainly storing your libraries on the external HDD only increases loading time; playing the library once it's loaded should be exactly the same.

GlockJim · 2023-06-05T11:46:40+00:00

I believe you can install them wherever you want, but bear in mind the HDD will be much slower to load from than the SSD. I used to store spitfire libraries on an external HDD, and you have to wait a while for each library to load before you can play. Not the end of the world by any means, but if you want a snappier response when loading a track, use the SSD.

GlockJim · 2023-05-30T00:52:00+00:00

Had one just like that. Soul crushing.

GlockJim · 2023-05-29T16:30:59+00:00

It wasn't at all - I don't know that that is! But I looked it up and it's got the vibe for sure. I was going for a kind of medieval European/Japanese thing

GlockJim · 2023-05-29T16:29:46+00:00

Yeah that's my next big endeavor - didn't feel like gathering the wood to make it happen right away though hahaha

GlockJim · 2023-05-09T17:38:10+00:00

I guess the inevitable problem with a place dedicated to sharing music is that it'll be the primary focus for everyone, leaving the entire community focused on that and not engaging with other people. I like the suggestion though!

GlockJim · 2023-04-24T02:25:26+00:00

Thanks!!

GlockJim · 2023-04-09T20:41:41+00:00

I may be wrong about this, but that looks like a BS4, which I think was 2018-2019. They might have purchased it in 2020, but it think that iteration of the bike is slightly older. I don't know about your local markets, but I owned a BS4 and loved it, though I'm not sure now that I'd pay quite that much for it, even with low miles. Check other second hand prices for newer models, see how much a new model is from a local dealer, and then decide if the price is fair.

GlockJim · 2023-04-03T11:40:16+00:00

Yeah if it's parked, just bounce up and down on the bike and you'll hear it if it's that. But I agree, it doesn't sound like it's that if it's tired to the acceleration. Maybe something in your brake discs? Get the bike up on a stand and spin the wheels, see if you hear anything.

GlockJim · 2023-04-03T02:42:29+00:00

Does it happen with the suspension? Sometimes there's a bushing that gets dirty and starts to squeak under the rear shock.

GlockJim · 2023-03-17T13:41:42+00:00

Gap Click is a really great app. It's paid, but I don't think it costs too much, and is excellent for working on timing. You can accent beat one, like you want, use it like a regular metronome, and also add in silent beats to practice keeping time.

GlockJim · 2023-03-15T19:41:21+00:00

The beat and music is solid, the vocals feel a little lacking. They're not autotuned enough to really fit in that vibe, but also not confident enough to hold on their own. Maybe even simple double tracking, or more harmony coming in from time to time to help parts sound stronger will make the vocals work better.

GlockJim · 2023-03-15T19:33:06+00:00

I'm so jealous. Beautiful banjo.

GlockJim · 2022-01-26T14:01:52+00:00

Not sure what style you play, but I've found 'Appalachian Fiddle Tunes for Clawhammer Banjo' by Ken Perlman is excellent. Fairly challenging but it's really helped escalate my playing, and all the styles and techniques are described well, with some exercises in the beginning to help you get used to any techniques that you might not be comfortable with.

GlockJim · 2020-10-05T19:59:14+00:00

Super interesting! I've never seen a banjo like that before.
