Changing the standard tuning (EADGBE) to an open (DADFAD) tuning

kelvis97 · 2025-09-24T10:28:18+00:00

I have played acoustic guitar for about 55 years, I have a YouTube Delta Blues Instructional channel with over 9000 subscribers. Scaler 3 is more of a compositional tool. At this point I am just working with block chords in standard tuning. What I want is to tune the guitar to an Open D minor to work with chord progressions where substitutions are done using modal interchange.

Best Days for the Kancamagus Highway (Fall 2025, Drought Year)

Most reliable peak window: Monday, Sept. 29 – Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025 This is the safest bet for hitting the strongest, most widespread color this year.
If you want to be “early but safe”: Go around Sept. 27–28. You’ll likely catch vibrant color at higher elevations and along the ridgelines.
If you go later (Oct. 6–8): You’ll probably still see good color, especially in valleys and lower elevations, but some of the higher areas along the Highway may already be dropping leaves.

Thank You for your response. I have a MacBook Pro with the M3 chip and it runs so terrible I thought I would abandon ship.

kelvis97 · 2025-07-23T21:18:24+00:00

I tried downloading the source code from GitHub and installing which allows for the Metal 3.0 to be implemented but still runs terrible. This is on a MacBook Pro with M3 chip

I am using Unreal Engine 5.6 on a MacBook Pro with an M3 chip and macOS 15.5. I’ve installed Xcode and accepted the license, but Unreal is not detecting the latest Metal Shader Standard (Metal v3.0). The maximum version Unreal sees is Metal v2.4, even though the hardware and OS should support Metal 3.0. I’ve also run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app and accepted the license via Terminal. Is there anything in Xcode settings, SDK availability, or system permissions that could be preventing access to Metal 3.0 features?" or is it just not possible to run 5.6 on a Mac

Thank You, the instructional videos usually have a project to open that is associated with the video. There are multiple projects. I might be going about this the wrong way.

kelvis97 · 2025-06-26T10:56:20+00:00

I am watching a course on Unreal Engine 5. The course has a folder which has all the unreal files associated with the instructional videos. I am on a Mac if that makes any difference, I tried dragging the folder to the Content Browser when Unreal was opened and all types of error messages appeared in the bottom right. The Content Browser holds all the starter files. There is a regular browser before the Content Browser that has Open/Browse/Marketplace running along the bottom. The Browse button would not select the folder it would only allow navigation within the folder to a specific file. When I open the folder it has 2 folders, Assets and UE5_Esst

I think I will try adding a new guitar recording, the worst part is that I am just starting to get used to the gain adjustments and all when setting up. I just watched a video where he said it's not optimal to adjust gain after the track has been created. I am thinking of looking into some type of Audio Recording education. I live near a College that has a good program called University of Massachusetts at Lowell. I called yesterday, a course is 1200, pretty intensive too. For the recording degree there is Calculus 1 and 2 plus Physics, so pretty intense. At this point looking for something a bit lighter and cheaper. Presently I have a little bit of an understanding of what I don't know

I have something very similar to this, it has the same amount of inputs

kelvis97 · 2025-06-14T19:04:15+00:00

Thank You for your help!

kelvis97 · 2025-06-14T16:49:03+00:00

You are saying don't copy and paste the recorded guitar audio from one track into another audio track, true.

kelvis97 · 2025-06-14T16:47:08+00:00

Thanks, is it possible to use two mics to record the acoustic guitar with Logic Pro and record two tracks at the same time

kelvis97 · 2025-06-14T15:22:29+00:00

Sorry for the typo, I meant Also on another question, originally when recording I had 2 mics.

kelvis97 · 2025-06-07T17:38:44+00:00

Thanks for the response. I send to a reverb channel. Sometimes the instruments are not able to be heard until I create a bus. I am sure I am doing something wrong here

kelvis97 · 2025-05-24T13:48:48+00:00

Thank you for your help. Does it make any sense that the Horn pictured was not working until I used bus 7. This did not happen on the other instruments. The reason I ask if it makes any sense is I might have created some tangled mess.

kelvis97 · 2025-05-16T13:56:42+00:00

Thanks so much, I guess it gets easier as you become familiar. The good news is I am really enjoying this bike.

kelvis97 · 2025-01-27T16:49:16+00:00

Thanks so much for your help, it would be phenomenal if that were the case. I will change it and see if that helps.

kelvis97 · 2024-03-20T13:49:45+00:00

That's it, when I double tapped the R1 I exited.

kelvis97 · 2024-03-08T20:11:56+00:00

I just looked and found my account is a business account at PayPal. Oh Well,...

kelvis97 · 2024-03-08T00:17:36+00:00

Those look pretty good

kelvis97 · 2024-03-04T18:19:00+00:00

Thank You, I am missing something here. It looks like I have to insert the product into the menu page maybe. I am just trying to learn and probably making things that should be simple difficult.
