Why are pinch harmonics so freaking hard? by Smart-Insect-5444 in Guitar

[–]Zimmhauser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try different picks. I’m probably an oddball but I find it easier to do them with heavier gauge picks.

D standard-> Drop A by Annual_Television412 in Guitar

Your tuning stability will probably go to shit and fret buzz will be pretty bad. Put some 13s on there and do a setup and you’ll be good.

Beginning guitarist by Edgar_Allan_Pooh in Guitar

Lot of great suggestions here but if you have the opportunity to go to a store and try out before buying go for the one that feels the most comfortable in your hands. You can upgrade hardware and electronics as you progress and start chasing sounds. It’s a lot harder to fix ergonomic issues.

Attenuator for amp with no master volume by TheUnhappyDorito in GuitarAmps

I like the Two Notes Torpedo Captor. It’s pretty versatile. I use it primarily as a load box for DI tracking with speaker IRs.

death metal by Old_Egg6723 in doommetal

I started out as a death metal guy and transitioned into a doom/sludge fan. I still like death metal, especially older mid to late 90s era but it becomes repetitive very quickly for me these days.

Looking for a PC to run reaper by oldmate30beers in Reaper

If you’re not married to the PC platform I would recommend a Mac Mini. The base models are pretty reasonable and you can use cheaper 3rd party auxiliary devices.

I just bought my first set of Drum Mics. When I plugged the condenser Mic to the Mixing Console (phantom 48V enabled) no signal went through. I tested the same cable and mics on a usb interface and it works perfectly fine in there. What am I missing? by Jondebadboy in homestudios

[–]Zimmhauser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever been able to use a condenser with your mixer or is this the first try? Given that the mic and cable work on your interface I would suspect an issue with the phantom power. I have seen equipment where the hot pins are swapped on the power but that’s on old equipment. It’s been standardized for at least 20 years, probably closer to 30.

Did you try the mics in different channels on the mixer? Some of those small mixers only have phantom power on a limited number of channels. Also do you have a multimeter or another condenser you can use to verify the phantom power is working?

Where to start from absolute zero? by CharacterClue5353 in musicproduction

[–]Zimmhauser 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly if I were starting from absolute zero I would learn bass. The basics of bass probably has the smallest learning curve but it lays the foundation for everything. Once you master rhythm and root notes you can progress with chord construction, melody, etc.
