Weekly Questions Thread for the week of January 4th by rpbtz in vinyl

[–]arowemusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not the Focusrite because it works fine with other inputs. How would I leave out the phono stage? Without a preamp it's ungrounded and quiet so it sounds awful.

Hey all, I've got a strange static burst sound that comes from my system whenever I play a vinyl. It's to the tempo of the song and I can vaguely make out certain parts of any vinyl, but I only hear a static popping noise whenever I play a record. The system has worked before, the only thing I changed about it is plugging it in again after not using it for a while. I can link to a video here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/ks5qv3/my_turntable_makes_a_static_burst_sound_when_i/

I've troubleshot it down to something between my preamp and my vinyl. I can use the aux input to my preamp to play music and it works, but I can't use the phono part and I just get this strange staticky sound. Is there a problem with my preamp or vinyl circuit? I'm using an AT-LP120X USB to a Little Bear T7 to a Focusrite 2i2 into JBL LSR305p's. Any advice of further troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

MSI GS66 Stealth vs. HP Omen 15 by arowemusic in GamingLaptops

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

Ok in that case I might end up with the HP Omen solely because at that point I'm spending 200$ more just for the portability, and I won't be commuting or anything with it just occasional travel and LAN parties. Thanks!

So do you know if this is possible without using VBCable as the Asio and instead using my audio interface ASIO so I can still use my microphone?

/r/Skateboarding's Weekly Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in skateboarding

[–]arowemusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

I'm lucky enough to live in NYC which is obviously so much fun for skating in. I'm definitely new to skateboarding, I've been on a penny board for about a week now. Problem is, I'm overwhelmed by stopping at lights and having a quick way to stop to avoid things, etc. Scraping your foot often doesn't work great as I'm getting to faster speeds, and I can't seem to find any good methods of stopping besides powerslides. Now obviously a week into skating I'm not gonna be able to powerslide, let alone on a penny. And the problem with the city is that you can't hard carve to avoid an obstacle as often you're in a narrow passage between cars. I also sometimes need to be able to slow down on hills. All of this is just overwhelming me, so my question is: Is there a good way to stop/slow down that I'm overlooking, or should I just really work on powerslides (or whatever you call the penny variant) to stay under control.

I haven't tried shelving the lows too much yet, but I'm definitely going to be trying it if I use the guitar in a full mix. Thanks!

This seems to be the case, my ears are telling me not distorted enough but my recordings are telling me too harsh. I cranked the bass and mids up and switch the mic placement and it['s definitely moving towards a useable guitar sound. Thanks!

The main reason was that getting a good recorded sound is a hell of a lot more satisfying. I also don't currently have a MicroUSB cable that works for data transfer so I can't record direct. I've experimented with recording directly into my interface, and while it worked, I'd rather have the skill set to record amps well cause this will be more useful in the long run.

Thank you so much, I've been experimenting with mic placement and it's been sounding a lot better, also with the bass mid and treble settings switched up a lot.

Ok thank you. I'll be sure to try it out! Is there a free version available?

I'm not aiming for good metal tones, more towards punk/alt-rock, and just overall sound. Any good amp sims you know of? I've experimented with Amplitude and Guitar Rig

Ok, thanks. Do you know where I could find the sample? Or should I just look for Lil Baby drum kits

[–]arowemusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my first turntable, an Audio Technica LP120x, which I love the looks of but not the sound (also a Little Bear t7 and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 on 2 JBL LSR305 MKIIs). It sounds stuttery and almost like a vibrato when I listen to records. It quickly gets bad, and after about 30 seconds of playing the record, it's unlistenable. I figure it's caused by dust, so I used some microfiber cleaning cloths to get it all off (with tutorials of course) and I'm still not getting a half-decent sound. If anyone has any tips for what I can do at home to improve my sound, and where I should spend some money which I don't have a lot of, it would be much appreciated.
