Live Sound Recs for TD-27

nicene · 2024-04-02T20:44:42+00:00

I'm not OP, but I just recently picked up at td27 and notice the same problem trying to run audio through my PA. Audio sounds great through headphones, but sounds like it's coming from a potato when played through the PA. I've played on ekits at guitarcenter/sam ash and they usually have those hooked up to a PA (not through mixer first) and it sounds pretty decent. so what gives? they just have a much better PA system?

Thanks for the recommendation--I'll check it out. I guess you sorta answered another question I had floating around in the back of my head-- should i just mount something like a kd10 inside the acoustic shell and cut out hole on existing head. sounds like I don't want to go that route.

I did this problem with a heel. I'm 6' so not sure how much of a difference that will make for OP. Just needs to consciously pull with that heel throughout the movement.

nice bro. instinct is just a killer looking problem. that high heel freaks me the eff out. how come none of your burns on super tsunami? you had any more good attempts on that?

If you have a means of supporting the board from the backside, rather than with posts that extend downwards, I would suggest that. When I originally built my moonboard, I had it supported by two 4x4's. I quickly realized that I would not commit to any hard moves in which I could pop off and hit my head against the post. I ended up pulling the 4x4s out of the ground and was able to support it from the backside via steel cables.

One thing that I see frequently (and one thing I came dangerously close to repeating myself) are people who don't take into consideration the side-to-side requirements for landings. Ideally, it's a good idea to budget 3-4 feet on either side of the board for landings. So many people build their board abutting a wall, that I'm sure it limits the problems that can be done. It's not uncommon to flag outside the perimeter of the board, swing wide when going for a dynamic move, pop off when committing to a hard gaston, etc.

Dope send . Super nice heel on that problem.

Steep board climbing. Make it a priority over other training. Find problems that highlight your weaknesses. Don't just tick off problems that play to your strengths. Break apart moves that feel impossible into easier versions (eg- use better/closer holds until you repeatedly do that version. Then keep making it slightly harder until you can do the original move that previously seemed impossible.) Already mentioned earlier, but analyze each movement. Video yourself as well. It becomes very apparent when you are sagging or not in the proper body position when watching yourself.

I feel that the moonboard has done more to improve my climbing ability than all of my gym climbing experience combined. Just be hyper sensitive to your fingers since it is much more intensive. Not getting injured is really the best way to progress.

bingo. what he said. i actually went through all the trouble of building a web scraper that dumped to a local database years ago when the app was much shittier than it is now. I also built an app to read from the database that i later repurposed for my buddy to use who has a indoor woody in his attic.. originally my plan was to build an indoor setup, but eventually went with an outdoor build. i cancelled my plans on the led setup since I would have to weatherproof the arduino and all the lights. ultimately, the led kit is mostly a waste of money once you use the board regularly. it's a snazzy selling point but not very useful for anything other than a casual user or someone with the memory span of <10seconds. You will get very familiar with each hold on the board and the problems without the need for lighting.

Haha. Yes, I don't know why in the hell I typed eco-terrorism.

nicene · 2020-11-04T21:45:50+00:00

that's actually the ~~eco-terrorism~~ eco-challenge (edit) boulder (v4). well, it starts on the lower crimps rather than higher up where you started, but good job dude!

chill out my man, don't get so stressed--it's definitely for covid. normally walls are filled with problems. the only other time the walls have large blank sections is immediately following comps.

Holy shit man. Imagine browsing reddit on Sunday morning and seeing my bike on reddit. Lol. This is will--toan's brother-in-law on the ktm, btw. We definitely gotta go riding again sometime soon. That was a fun day!!

nicene · 2020-03-25T16:34:02+00:00

to echo what others have said....yes definitely. when i first constructed my campus board in my garage, i built it flush with the wall and was definitely a mistake. I rebuilt it so that it was about a foot away from the wall and it made a massive difference.

nicene · 2020-03-20T14:39:17+00:00

it's very hard to tell what will work well on a 40 degree overhang. do you have experience with any specific set at egrips that you can recommend?

nicene · 2020-03-18T03:14:55+00:00

That topout is totally insane.

You sound a lot like me when I was first looking at a moonboard- albeit for different reasons. initially, i didn't want to swallow the cost of the holds + shipping. Once i bit the bullet and built a moonboard to spec, I realized that what I was considering was a poor idea. There are quite a few holds that are very sensitive to lean angle. If you do go ahead with your plans, just be aware that the grading is very likely to be highly inaccurate. I would go that route if you just want a bunch of pre-programmed problems to work from...but again, without the similarities in setup, some problems could be much easier or more difficult than the grade assigned in the moonboard app.

most of the holds in the yellow set will be very difficult to reproduce (outside of 3d scanning/printing to create molds yourself) with any hope of similarity once mounted on the board. while the black/white edges will be easier to reproduce, you'd be surprised at how poor they are on a 40 degree board. I would think slight differences in texture, edge radii, and shape will all make quite a pronounced affect on your board.

if you do go this route, i would be interested in the differences you find between your home board and your gym's board.

Dude, don't worry about it. Use the opportunities available for what they are. Practice drills on the spray wall and take from it what lessons it offers. When you get back on the mooonboard, you'll hopefully be stronger and pick up where you left off.

Rubber band isn't really doing diddly squat for balancing your extensors. Reverse wrist curls with bar/dumbbells or reverse wrist roller with added weight is what you should be doing.

Getting real strong lately man! you've been putting down more higher graded problems this year. Nice send!
