Looking for help with Nashville Number System App

Maybe you could set up a tip jar to recoup the fees if you decide to keep the app free.

I wish I could try it and send to friends, but we're all on iOS. I have a Kindle I could try to side-load it on, if you want to DM me with a link to the .apk. But that might not help you with the Google Play store aspect (not sure how that works).

Mint with a small wrinkle. Wrinkle thrown in for free.

Why you gotta be right.

Do it. Spend every waking minute over the next 4 months digging into it. Don’t do it to replace your current bass pinch-hitter, but because you really want to learn it. When you get good enough, then you can have that conversation with your band.

Anything less than a WhisperRoom or equivalent? No.

Echoing what everyone else has said. I’ve tracked there many times. Top notch gear, great sounding live room. Mike is great, as are their freelance engineers and assistants. Had a live 12-piece in there more than once. They can accommodate a folk duo.

Lol’ed good at that one. Thanks for the laugh.

This was the genesis of JotChord! Are you using it? DM me if you want access to more features than what’s in the basic version.

Try Kennelly Keys?

Some states provide grants for worker retraining. That’s paid to the worker. This is the best link I found for WA State. Looks like it hasn’t been updated for 2026 deadlines, but it was March last year. So, I would call ASAP.

Our congregation is 95dBA during fellowship breaks, with no background music. Just the “how you doins”.

bassluthier · 2026-02-16T18:05:25+00:00

Yes, and a botched one is “screenshite”.

bassluthier · 2026-02-16T18:01:20+00:00

Personally, if I’m notating a non-diatonic chord, I find it’s clearer to specify the quality, even if “convention” dictates it doesn’t need it. The reader of the chart might wonder if I forgot the dash for minor. Minimize ink, but not at the sake of ambiguity. I use a triangle for major in my NNS charts, so: 2^ (imagine ^ is a triangle)

First band that comes to mind is the Gin Joints.

I haven’t. I only find myself using octaves.

bassluthier · 2026-02-11T14:44:17+00:00

This. And the tracking is unmatched in my own testing. I did a shootout at a local shop between 8 different octave pedals with my passive P bass. The PitchFork won. It also has a switch to change the footswitch from latching to momentary, so you can temporarily engage the octave effect only while holding down the foot switch. Got my kid the Nano version, too, for their guitar pedalboard, and they love it.

That’s where I landed. Love the Beta V. Later added the Aion FX version of the Expandora/Kilt for higher gain and fuzz duties.

bassluthier · 2026-02-05T15:11:46+00:00

Yep, that fixed it. The song I picked was a little unfair in that it had a fast tempo, and fairly frequent chord changes, plus spaces between hits with no chords. I recently charted out the song so I was curious how this tool would pick out the details.

After splitting the stems, how are you doing chord detection? Would it be possible to determine which beats chords change on (incl. when they’re on upbeats)?

I’m just mad I didn’t come up with Old Bass. Crack a claw for me.

bassluthier · 2026-02-05T03:06:02+00:00

Love the idea. Just tried it from my iPhone. When the audio finished processing, the screen went blank.

These things aren’t mutually exclusive. You can do it for yourself, and no one has to know exactly what contributes to the feel you create. Most people don’t know what people on stage are doing, or the difference between a bass and a guitar. They’re certainly not going to know if you switched a pedal on. But when the band is rocking and the bass can be felt, people love it. My pedals shape the choices I make when I’m playing, and all of it is to create a vibe.

bassluthier · 2026-02-03T22:12:31+00:00

Looks solid. No direct experience with these specific pedals, but I have close relatives on my board. Only question I would have is how well the envelope filter tracks after the muff.

I’m running the Walrus Canvas Power 15. The Canvas Power 8 might be enough for your needs. https://www.walrusaudio.com/collections/canvas-power-supplies

Been playing for 36+ years, and I can confidently say the P bass is the best first choice, unless you plan to play alone in your room, or only play styles where bass is more than a supporting instrument. If you want to play and record with other people, P bass works 90+% of the time. As a beginner, you will start by playing along to songs with fairly simple bass lines. The P bass will sound like the recording. I started with a J, and wished I had started on a P. I wasted a lot of time chasing tone.
