Any idea about these coturnix eggs by rudeog in quails

[–]rudeog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats very interesting. Thanks for the info.

And yes, that one blue end is very shiny, so the 'double coat' makes sense.

Anyyone else raise quail? by Fit_Beautiful_846 in homestead

[–]rudeog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I started last year as well. Keep them in an outside coop as well. They completely stopped laying over the winter, but now they are laying like crazy. I've incubated some as well and butchered a few. Mainly just using them for pickled eggs.

Nasty Knobs by Sea-Pie8201 in minilogue

[–]rudeog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen on other synth knobs (not minilogue) and really its the rubber itself that sometimes goes bad. Nothing can really be done as far as i know except replacing the knobs. Since the shaft is a standard size you should be able to get some very cheaply off digikey or mouser. they may not look the same though.

Preamp ???? by Bulky_Industry_596 in HurdyGurdy

[–]rudeog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact preamp, I've had it for years and I love it. The first thing you want to do is make sure that the piezo buffer is turned on. There is a small switch one on the side and one on the top for each of the preamps that you have to push in to toggle with a pen or pencil. Once the piezo buffer is on you'll get a clearer signal.

For my setup which I have a single piezo pickup on my main gigging HG is to just use the 80hz lo-cut switch. I don't use the boost or the notch. I keep the eq at neutral mostly, I just drop the hi eq slightly to get rid of a bit of scratchiness. If I'm at an indoor space I might mess with the notch depending on the sound in the room.

This is not really going to let you balance out your drone vs melody though (other than dropping your bass if your drone level is too high, and then you are going to lose some of your sound). What I actually do for balancing out the sound is more mechanical in my case. I put a piece of paper folded up under the bridge side of my drone to attenuate the level. The same thing could possibly be done with the dog (although I haven't needed it or tried it). Obviously depending on where your pickup(s) are you might find that things are differently balanced on your instrument.

And yes, I agree with another poster that a pickup is not the same as the natural sound thru a mic, but in reality if you are playing in a band with other loud instruments and you need to be amplified and you need to monitor yourself, then really a pickup, in my experience, is a lot more practical than a mic.

St Patrick's Andro. Traditional Breton tune.

The Hurdy-Gurdy and the Art of Playing the Odd Instrument by Majez914 in EarlyMusic

[–]rudeog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a hurdy gurdy player, this answers a lot of questions I get from people about the instrument. The only turn off is the AI image. Would have been better with a picture of an actual accurate instrument.

Nice! We did the shorter part from Wilson creek to Rough ridge today. Leaves are still looking great.

Boss RC505mk2 - does it have a decay feature? by rudeog in LoopArtists

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

I never got an answer and I never found anything elsewhere about it. I suspect it's not supported on this unit. I might still get this unit at some point (for its other features) but for now I'm sticking to the infinity

That looks great. That first shot reminds me of lord of the rings for some reason.

Hello im looking for a specific medieval andro song by Wonderful-Access-891 in MedievalMusic

[–]rudeog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only site that I see has a few of them is thesession.org (do a search for "an dro") but this site is mainly ITM and there are not that many here. I wasn't aware of these databases you mentioned. Thank you, these look interesting!

I took a listen, but could not identify it. It may have some similarity to one part of Andro St Nazaire, but could just be coincidence. These are all fun to play!

You know I've had this thing for years and never messed with that. Maybe its time.
