    Feedback on Rockstar Student Award Please!

    I still laugh out loud every time I read that. Thanks, Papa!

    Feedback on Rockstar Student Award Please!

    It's a School award. I say give 'em a double dose of props. Mid-June here, and then when the rush dies down, BAM it's up on the Gram.

    I Really Need Audio Help

    Skype is choppy a lot. You can try Zoom, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams (if it's out and free), and maybe some others. Skype is just old tech, and bandwidth hardly ever seems to solve the problems.

    Users Experience and Opinions About Audio Interfaces

    That's funny. Behind the beat by accident is a sin. Behind the beat on purpose is a Syn. I'll let myself out...

    Users Experience and Opinions About Audio Interfaces

    Nice! Came out great! Biggest feedback I would give is to watch your timing. On some of the more melodic bits, you were rushing the part and playing ahead of the beat. THE BEAT IS KING. You can CHOOSE to play in front of or behind it for effect or personal taste (Syn plays much of the lead on...

    Ampless Rig - What's the best option?

    #WhatPGSaid For the real budget, find a used Line6 Pod HD500X. The only really weak part about it is the cabinet modeling, and it's really not awful - worked fine for me for years until I could afford the jump to AxeFX.

    Hearing rhythms?

    In other words, it's as important to FEEL rhythm as it is to HEAR it.

    Hearing rhythms?

    If it's a very specific chug-like pattern, you kind of have to figure it out, but for strumming chord stuff - and this may be a case of it's been so long since I learned this stuff that I forget HOW I learned it - capturing the FEEL of it is much more important than focusing on the mechanics of...

    How to record with an audio interface

    How to record with an audio interface

    Yes, as long as the video source is attached to the computer (i.e. webcam). You CAN import an external video source, but I'm not going into how to get them to sync - that's something you kind of need to work out on your own.

    How to record with an audio interface

    So, in Reaper, you can drag and drop the existing audio mp3 into the tracking area and it will create it as a new stereo track. If that doesn't work, you may need to "import media" or something, but that's what you want - track 1 will be a stereo track consisting of your backing track. Then add...

    Question about picking hand

    I think I know what you mean, and I do it a lot, too. It's only noticeable if I play a mid-tempo lead with low gain, but the edge of my thumb mutes the string I just picked a lot. It's mostly because I choke up on the pick so much, but also my attack angle. Playing with the Cutlass on lower gain...

    Synyster Gates tones using the Axe Fx 3 and his Cab Packs

    For the heavy tones, start with the 5153 Red - the original 5150 MkIII was the foundation for the Hellwin, which was engineered by the same guy to Syn's specs. From there, whichever 4x12 in the cab pack suits your fancy - the Boner (Bogner), Hellwin, etc. The Stage cab is the one, I believe, a...

    Collab! Rhythm Videos DEADLINE COMING UP!

    Not sure why you have me down for rhythm, but I'm good sitting that one out.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Having my first Stratty SSS guitar has me reliving some Floyd. If you've never heard this album, it is an unbelievably brilliant autobiographical exploration of the psychological effects of war on family back home. Use headphones.

    Pre-load Strat Pickguards ?!

    EMGs are EMGs no matter what they're in, but there are a lot of hot humbuckers out there that will beef up your strat. You mentioned wanting a loaded pickguard - you can try something like this...

    Pre-load Strat Pickguards ?!

    Just cuz it's got my name on it doesn't mean I'm the only one with answers, or even the one with the BEST answers. It still fits here. I like to learn shit, too!
