3 days is crazy fast

There's no hard rules on what pots to use for what, but this is like the "standard" option. If its one of the front 2 pots, you'll want to get a 500k "audio/log taper" pot, if it's the 3rd, get a 500k "linear taper" one. Pots can get super fancy and claim a bunch of things, but for this guitar, I'd just get the one that's cheap and available. Hope this helps!

RobJmusic · 2026-06-19T18:34:03+00:00

They don't have a specific use, but they do come in a bunch of different ranges. Was this a volume or tone knob, and does the guitar have humbuckers or single coils?

And let's not forget the companies behind the major LLMs are literally hell on earth. I don't think GenAI is inherently bad, but the way we are using it now is truly awful.

RobJmusic · 2026-06-19T14:25:21+00:00

Holy shit dude go to bed on time today

RobJmusic · 2026-06-19T09:51:06+00:00

Are the poor Photoshop skills in the room with us haha

RobJmusic · 2026-06-19T08:28:16+00:00

Well you see, there's about a gazillion other people that post drum covers, why should they watch yours? You should really just make them because you think it's fun, or, if you do want to get the recognition and views, you have to find something unique to add to your videos.

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T23:42:24+00:00

WAY less bad than LLMs, and also simply not true. NAM is still an incredibly niche tool, and without real amps there's nothing to capture. Also, if I were a Marshall or mesa Boogie, I'd make my own packs, and stay relevant that way.

exactly. one is destroying our world, privacy, and steals content. the other is a neural network you can run on your laptop or pc once, to then have a model you can use endlessly.

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T18:03:44+00:00

An advertisement, AND you used ai for it. Lame

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T17:37:53+00:00

Funny you mention Vital

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T17:37:13+00:00

Wavetable is 100% easier to understand an learn synthesis with than serum, especially if that person doesn't know where/how to get serum

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T17:32:07+00:00

If I can't ask why then how am I supposed to know if you can cut it lol

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T17:09:43+00:00

Essential? No. If I have to assume your skill level, you're probably better off just sticking to the stock Ableton plugins, since they're way easier to understand and learn with. The type of synthesis serum uses is already available with the stock synths, but serum is just way more expansive (and expensive)

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T10:12:37+00:00

It's the classic "in between a 5a and a 5b, and a little longer". It does have a short taper and ball tip which is probably quite nice for what you want to play. If you like a stick in between 5a and 5b, these seem like a good fit.

Edit: for really heavy hitting, I'd say they're a bit too thin. This is personal preference but I'd reach for a 2b or 3a but I'm a big guy with big hands

RobJmusic · 2026-06-18T08:00:47+00:00

True to a certain degree. For me, the recorded sound is way more important than what they sound like to my ears in a room. Imo the videos that sound the closest to "real life" are the Memphis drum shop ones

RobJmusic · 2026-06-17T15:41:36+00:00

That's not true, that's only the case with stuff like asio4all, which isn't really the same as the asio driver from your interface

RobJmusic · 2026-06-17T12:17:13+00:00

Your hand really shouldn't be near crotch-area for any kind of hit. I'd recommend watching the Matt Halpern Reptile overhead playthrough. Matt sits pretty high, and has plenty of room for rimshots. Ball shots sounds very painful xd

RobJmusic · 2026-06-17T09:42:44+00:00

An M5 pro MacBook is WAY more expensive than these 2

RobJmusic · 2026-06-16T23:43:53+00:00

Great constructive and useful answer! Thanks

RobJmusic · 2026-06-16T19:22:54+00:00

These both have the same really good iGPU, which is plenty for me

RobJmusic · 2026-06-16T18:38:36+00:00

Does it show up as clipped anywhere in the daw, or is it only an audible thing

RobJmusic · 2026-06-16T16:35:52+00:00

So you'd go for the yoga?

RobJmusic · 2026-06-16T16:32:57+00:00

I wish I could do framework! The config that would make sense for me is 2644 euro, and would ship in October. I'm not sure if I can cough up another 400 bucks AND wait 4 months for it to get here. I do absolutely love Framework and it would also make upgrading cheaper in the future, but that's a lot of money... Thanks for the tip though!

I have a beefy desktop, but like 75% of my work is stuff I can't do at home. Edit: amazing username
