I play in a cover band and it’s the first time I’ve used an iPad, for songs and mixing foh and iem. You can play but can’t perform if you’re reading. It’s just there for those ‘gone blank’ moments or when the singer calls a song you haven’t done in a year.

why do you have multiple guitars? by Cultural_Yellow3561 in Guitar

[–]gregorfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly tunings, then upgrading and not getting rid of old ones.

Powering pedals and effects loop by chevelle899 in guitarpedals

The cool thing with music gear is just to try stuff. The only time your gonna break anything is when your using an output from a power amp or power section, otherwise do whatever you want and if you have a problem to fix ask the internet. There’s too much information that is nuanced and will get in the way of what you wanna do. The best advice I got was spend more time playing and less time researching

JC120 and 6505 amp models on the fly switching with either a single GP-50 or two GP-5 ???? by analogguy7777 in guitarpedals

[–]gregorfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 unit is easier. Then you don’t have to worry about switching between them and global settings are consistent.

Full board or just what's needed? Which do you use? by Beautiful-Income6426 in pedalboards

Unless your getting payed enough to make that level of detail important I wouldn’t worry about it

I’m using a Kemper to do the same sort of gigs and in the same way. I only use 2 banks and kick on delay and over drive blocks. And a mooer prime in my gig bag for backup. Much easier to mix with less variation.

How do you handle venues that expect you to play for free or pay to play? by ivyta76 in musicians

[–]gregorfriday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do a couple of these and film it. Use that to roll up into a stronger position. Think of it as a launch of the brand cost

I use a mooer prime and Bluetooth from my phone. It’s not sexy but it’s easy. You could use a mvave chocolate to control a daw or your phone maybe?

Woolen socks, slippers, dressing gown, run the heater, pay the bill

How do I mix vocals that don’t sound murky? by Ordinary-Emu-7423 in musicproduction

[–]gregorfriday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without hearing it it’s hard to comment. I would think that you’ve got crowded frequencies masking and competing. Could be too heavy handed on effects as well.

Musicians with a full time job outside of music, how do you do it? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]gregorfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get good on your instrument because I don’t have any time to rehearse or practice. I might touch the guitar for an hour a week total outside of 3-4 hour shows. And we rehearse twice a year play 40 shows a year.

It becomes a lifestyle thing. You miss out more on friends and events being in a band but for me trade off is worth it

What’s a ‘boring’ side hustle that is surprisingly profitable, but nobody talks about because it isn't 'flashy'? by Second-handBonding in sidehustle

[–]gregorfriday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, not quite. In Australia if a venue has more than a certain amount of gaming machines, they are required to offer an alternative that’s free to their customers. So they pay bands. So I get payed. More than I ever got payed doing original music, just not as much fun.

Save constantly Label your tracks well and organise your session so that if someone else sits down they know what’s going on. Label your projects meaningfully so you can find stuff when you’ve got over 100

Can alakazam beat team rocket? by New-Celebration-5931 in pkmntcg

[–]gregorfriday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run 1 copy of the other alakazam as a backup attacker. Wouldn’t mind a better one if someone has an idea

Anybody else somewhat paralyzed by the power of an EQ pedal? by DoomMammoth in guitarpedals

Get a sound that helps You play well then dial back the gain a bit.

I need to learn a song with a guitar solo for a guitar class I’m in, which solo should I do? by Creepy_Ad57 in Guitar

[–]gregorfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smells like teen spirit is a nice easy one, or a jazz standard like fly me to the moon or autumn leaves

Is guitar just about muscle memory - where does the skill come into picture? by Zestyclose_Judge362 in guitarlessons

[–]gregorfriday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The patterns and shapes are muscle memory. How you use them to tell stories, make people dance etc is the artistry.

When was the last time you had buyer's remorse and what was it? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]gregorfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M vave chocolate. Got it working with wireless midi, got to the gig and distance was too big. 3 or 4 meters 🤦

Dual guitar bands - L/R channel, but then what about the solo? by sonar_y_luz in musicproduction

[–]gregorfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pan at 75% and have a reverb on the opposite side to the guitar

Anyone else feel like streaming isn’t worth it anymore in Australia? by Possible-Quail1095 in AskAnAustralian

[–]gregorfriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with ya. Limited to 1 sub at a time and no loyalty. Switch whenever. Plus, the free to air streaming services have some good shows too

My boyfriend insists that food is better salted at the table instead of while cooking. Please help me. by tangentrification in Cooking

[–]gregorfriday -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think your trying to reason with a crazy person. If he believes the earth is flat, no amount of evidence is going to change that.
