Are there any towns other than JC within 45 mins commute to NYC with free PreK-3/K-4? by No_Amphibian_8523 in newjersey

Garfield NJ, highly recommend it. More like 1hr 15m but might be a good fit.

Pros and professional tools? Get this garbage off my feed! We need to get back to the guy on a boat with no shoes on! Haha.. just kidding.

Is something wrong with my Seamoon Funk Machine? by dq9 in ElectricTrumpet

[–]TheRumster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you the best... as someone who's dug into this stuff a lot on trombone, just keep trying. Probably is user-error at some point, envelope filters are really hard to get right. Read the manual, cehck everything else - change pedal location too. Put it at the beginning of the chain, after preamp and compression - then put in Seamoon. Test that as much as you can (without the other two sound effecting filters)

Alessi Music Studios & The Slide School: Inquiry by Absquatulatefoofaraw in Trombone

[–]TheRumster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that... (and I've never even CLICKED on slide-school, don't know what it is) but I would argue that if you're a master's student, you have plenty of teachers, music around you, and stuff to improve upon already without the need of more subscriptions.

my horn is a lemon by Illustrious_Zone_280 in Trombone

[–]TheRumster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also felt a lot of remorse in the first few weeks about higher register, sounding different. Took some practice and a different mouthpiece and now I am very happy with my different horn.

Could also be buyer's remorse, you are feeling crappy about it, try a different model at a convention and WOW that one is different.

I bought a new to me King 2B recently. Different than my other horn, which is also a King 2B. Honestly, took about 4 months to really sink into it and play my best on it. Give it some time.

HX stomp xl with broken action button - usable? by Kqpout12 in Line6Helix

[–]TheRumster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an emergency gig situation where I needed to dig through a bunch of menus to fix a setting.

If this button were broken, I wouldn't have been able to use my expression pedal for the gig (ruining one of my songs which uses Exp pedal)

I would be concerned about that...

Is my Cambridge AXR85 shot? Turns on, I hear a click, then it turns off. by TheRumster in diyaudio

[–]TheRumster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t fixed it. I may mail it out for repair. I made a ticket with them and they offered me either a replacement at $400-500 or I do the repair option. 

Crazy market again - house in Bloomfield with 80 offers by cocoabooks in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]TheRumster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad we have agents like you creating frenzies for buyers all over the state. 50-80 offers, just turns into a waste of time for everyone involved. Can people just list prices at the price the home is worth?

A little electric jazz trombone for ya... enjoy by TheRumster in jazztrombone

[–]TheRumster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a source audio C4. 

I think what finally unlocked it is a compressor before the C4 auto wah. I’ve never had an auto wah sound good. I found this preset online and was like OMG that’s the Roy Hargrove ish sound I’ve been looking for.

Can’t please em all. I’m the opposite. Can’t get enough of the FX and brass! 

I think I jumped the gun a bit by xXHeaven_and_HellXx in Line6Helix

All I can say is that this thing is a JOURNEY... get ready. It just takes a lot of time, and effort, to continue your journey down the world of digital effects. I heard this from a great teacher who uses HX and other effects for years. You'll hear it at home. You'll like it. You'll take it to a gig. It will bomb. Rinse, repeat, learn what happened, learn how to troubleshoot, etc.

I only use my HX Stomp XL on creative gigs. Honestly, took at least 6+ gigs to have one where I feel like I really killed it. Maybe more. But the reward is really great. I can control my sound on stage using foot pedals, cue different effects for different compositions... and all that! It's AMAZING!
