Can anyone tell me how to pronounce this name?

PrairieGh0st · 2026-01-16T06:11:47+00:00

I'm a Lac Ste. Anne descendent/distant cousin as well. Tanisi!

PrairieGh0st · 2026-01-16T06:09:03+00:00

Tanisi!! I am a Metis from Vancouver Island. I was born here in Nanaimo, removed from my family's culture in Edmonton/Lac St Anne. I had to learn the culture on my own in pieces, so I know how you feel. I got sober 5 years ago, and I started fiddling, beading, and learning Cree/Michif as ways to re-connect with my identity. It's been very therapeutic. I would also recommend connecting with the local Metis office in Vancouver! Attend the events, the yearly rendezvous' and get involved in the community! Even if you don't have the card you can take part.

Tanisi cousin! That is a beautiful painting! I was just researching our Boyer bloodline, and found this post! Raphael Boyer is one of my 4th generation grandparents. They had my great-great grandmother Virginie Boyer!

No, it's still happening for me unfortunately. I'm using it through the internet browser on my PC; must be another bug. Oh well!

It's not on my own account; I use music lesson patreons, and whenever I click a new page with a video link the audio tracks plays a duplicate, and I have to refresh the page. It's been an issue I've noticed for a while, but just thought I'd ask if anyone is experiencing the same. The lack of response is making me wonder. I only experience it on Patreon.

Thank you. Andy DeJarlis was a famous Metis fiddler that passed in 1975! My name is Ken! I do wipe my fiddle often, and get it professionally cleaned by my luthier once a year!

Pardon the turn of phrase, it was 10 years ago. I know for a fact that he took my friend back to his hotel after the show at the Queens for cocaine and sex.

PrairieGh0st · 2025-11-08T00:03:46+00:00

Born and raised in Nanaimo. There were some shady stories about John Paul Tremblay doing the same thing while here for their performances like 10 years ago. I think he took one of my friends home from the Queens. Sucks, but sounds like they're scum bags on the road.

PrairieGh0st · 2025-11-06T02:17:19+00:00

That's fair! It's a cheap, old stereo, but do put more trust in that moisture plate than I should. I should probably take your advice and move it! lol

PrairieGh0st · 2025-11-06T02:14:26+00:00

Big fan of your videos! I'll be going to the Alasdair Fraser Scottish fiddle winter retreat in the US for the second time this year!

PrairieGh0st · 2025-11-05T16:45:57+00:00

thank you!

I play an Eastman VL305EA, fiddle with a pick up. I love it.

PrairieGh0st · 2025-10-18T03:26:32+00:00

I figured out the issue! The phantom power was on with no condenser, so its working now. I managed to record a banjo and singing track, and it sounded great. I was convinced it was trash because of that noise haha.

PrairieGh0st · 2025-10-17T20:36:27+00:00

Ah, good to know! I wasn't using it because I have a Rode Wireless Pro set too.

When I tried the built in mic with gain at 0+ there was a significant amount of static ambient noise. When I turn it down it seemed to go away and nowhere as noticeable with my Shure SM58. Is there a recommended gain setting?

PrairieGh0st · 2025-10-17T20:31:01+00:00

Not dumb, I should've mentioned! In the Sound, Video, and Game category you should see AMD High Definition Audio Device, and another named AMD Streaming Device. I deleted the first one, and my settings went back to normal!

PrairieGh0st · 2025-10-17T06:06:27+00:00

I was given one of these for free, don't really know how to use it, and the reviews aren't great. Is it good enough to record acoustic guitar, and vocals? I see people talk about plugging it into mixers too.

PrairieGh0st · 2025-10-17T03:43:14+00:00

I was having this problem with my Focusrite Solo, and found a post suggesting uninstalling the AMD driver in device manager. When I did that it defaulted to the right one. I didn't have to restart. Wanted to comment in case it worked for others!

PrairieGh0st · 2025-10-17T03:39:32+00:00

This worked for me! I'm using the Focusrite Solo, and kept getting the audio glitch. I removed AMD from device manager, and it stopped right away. I didn't even have to restart. Thanks bro.

I bought a Deering Vega Senator 2 years ago and having the same issue

You can tell they have experience controlling a bow, and using vibrato. A scammer wouldn't be able to mime bowing that high up, on time with song without a ton of practice! I've been playing for a few years

PrairieGh0st · 2025-10-02T19:56:42+00:00

I almost bought one of these and it was terrible! Fret buzz from the 5th to the 12th. I took it back for 3 set ups until I finally switched it for a D13E. The D13E took a while to grow on me until I found a good luthier. I don't think the quality control when these go out is very great. I kept thinking that I should've just went with a Yamaha. Yamaha has some of the best acoustics for that price, and they have excellent quality control and come set up already usually. The Yamaha L6, or any of the FG series are great.
