  • @HighRoadMusicTutorials
    @HighRoadMusicTutorials18 күн бұрын

    The saddle is as thick as the saddle slot, it’s a wide slot. Oddly, I didn’t have to compensate for the 3rd string. All strings intonated perfectly into the higher frets with a straight saddle ridge.

    Martin had a tradition of the double dots on the 7th fret, and also the 12th, and others copied them. The 7th is a perfect fifth of an open string must have been their idea. Some guitarist also like a more triangular neck feel, but it's certainly a personal preference.

    The cross talk is through that base board not your shoe.

  • @HighRoadMusicTutorials
    @HighRoadMusicTutorialsАй бұрын

    I considered that, but if that were true, the crosstalk would be happening every time any pad was hit individually. But it didn’t. It only happened when the shoe was involved. And only between the snare and kick pads. It’s an interesting idea though, and this particular iteration of the foot drums may still be worth pursuing with. Things to try would be attaching the piezos with a buffer substance like double sided tape which could dampen high frequency vibrations. Gluing a small weight, like a coin, to the back of the piezo, again to dampen high frequency vibrations. And maybe exploring the way other commercial drum trigger sensors work and applying it to this somehow.

    What kind of superglue were you using for the wood filler trick? Looked like some kind of 2 part stuff? I would have liked have seen the products used. Otherwise great video. I also liked your steam the fingerboard dents out trick. I think I would have installed the frets after the stain though.

  • @HighRoadMusicTutorials
    @HighRoadMusicTutorialsАй бұрын

    > What kind of superglue were you using for the wood filler trick? It's Stewmac Superthin Superglue. It believe it's been watered down with something to be so runny that it can wick through tiny gaps and fill small areas. www.stewmac.com/luthier-tools-and-supplies/supplies/glue-and-adhesive/glues/stewmac-super-glues/stewmac-super-glue/ > I think I would have installed the frets after the stain though. I didn't use a stain, you may be referring to the Lemon Oil I wiped over the fretboard. When this is applied to a completely raw, freshly sanded fretboard it makes it look instantly darker and higher in contrast. However, it eventually dries out and needs to be reapplied every year or two. It's generally not advised to apply oil before fret installation as the oil finish can interfere with superglue adhesion later. Each fret must be treated with thin superglue which wicks down into the fret slot and also forms a bond where the fret itself overhangs the slot. Glad you enjoyed the video!

    Thanks for the question Cam ;-) While Billie Eilish may have been singing softly, that doesn't mean that her voice was recorded softly. What I mean is, the microphone preamp would have been turned up so that her soft singing was actually hitting the recording interface at higher power levels. It's the audio equivalent of "zooming in".
