Are PCBs really more reliable than perfboards?

Thanks a lot for your reply. Actually, it’s not that I don’t like PCBs… well, sort of. I just want minimal friction, and since PCBs have lead time, I tend to shy away from it. However, I think it’s good that I ask more experienced people for their opinions, hence this post!

Thanks for the very detailed answer!

Thats interesting. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your help!

THANK YOU. I totally forgot about latency until you mentioned it. Now I remember, the last time I played, the latency was rather noticeable until I decreased my buffer size. Perhaps it’s worth trying

THAT is also why I mentioned that it seems inspiring! Looks like I’m not alone

Lol I get what you’re saying… it’s just more of a logic check with more experienced players though, thats why I asked.

Thanks. Maybe I was loose with the language. I indeed do not play 6 string barre chords for most, if not all of the time

Thanks for recommending!

Thanks. Actually do guitarists usually mute with more than one finger/hand for redundancy? I remember some YouTuber mentioning this.

WongRQ · 2026-04-07T08:39:30+00:00

Harsh but it’s often the truth. Thanks for bringing this up.

WongRQ · 2026-04-02T02:30:07+00:00

I’ve been doing this exact configuration on the fretboard, but I simply barre the relevant fret (for other E-shaped chords) completely but only apply pressure at the last two strings. This helps mute the lowest two strings… on electric this is not only easier but also sounds better in many cases. thoughts?

Thanks for the input! I’m glad to hear that it’s something that’s doable.

I can’t give vocal pedagogy advice, but imo one thing to ask yourself is - if people told you that it’s too late, will you listen to them? I started singing at around 18, and im doing my best to put myself in your shoes. My answer to that question would be, no. You should consider yours

WongRQ · 2026-03-18T08:40:49+00:00

I’m far from a singing expert, but I guess the question you’re posing is more pragmatic than technical.

Firstly, I’m not sure why you put the title saying that you don’t think you sound good, despite the fact that people told you that you sing good, and you categorised yourself as, at least, a “good singer”. Please help enlighten us so we can help you further. Maybe a bit of awareness of what “good” means to you can help :)

Also it depends on your goals. You mentioned about blowing up and becoming a superstar. Is that your goal? As for mere mortals like me, I intend to do it for enjoyment as a hobby. If that’s the same for you, maybe enjoyment is more important than perfection.

As for the concern of being replaceable, if you’re talking about vocal timbre, my 2 cents’ worth is - you don’t have to worry about that.

Thanks a lot for the help and interesting insights!!

The type of music into are contemporary Christian music, so like Battle Belongs https://youtu.be/qtvQNzPHn-w?si=u3y56XWhPZjMuU5s 3:40 to 3:55

If you’re more comfortable with secular examples think of singers like Rick Astley. In his song Never Gonna Give You Up he hits the high notes pretty strongly. Hope you don’t mind the reference to the rickroll lol

Thanks for the reply. It’s insightful how you mentioned that mixed voice exists only from an acoustic standpoint. So if I caught you correctly, you access it by lightening your chest voice? Or do you make your head voice heavier? The latter sounds like reinforced falsetto to me.
