    Enjoyed the video Dan. I try to use garageband for recording live as I did on an old single track tape machine years ago. However with Garageband I have more than one track. My only concession is the use of Drummer which hopefully one day I can rectify.

    if your bus outputs are balanced you better off using stereo jack to jack due to better noise cancellation.

    No two humans are playing exactly the same and it's fine. I spent a good money on a drum pad, guitar and bass just to avoid playing everything on a keyboard. It makes my lack of skill more obvious, but I just enjoy it. There is nothing like simply plucking bass guitar strings as I feel it.

    Can anyone tell me how to change from Reverb to Delay To Pitch on a Quadraverb using a foot switch ? I purchased a Boss FC-50 Midi Foot controller and can’t figure out how to use it. All I wanted to do was be able to switch from delay to reverb to pitch to eq to flange using a footswitch playing live

    You’ll only be able to do that if you have three different patches, then save them in a sequence that will allow you to switch them, using the “advance” connector on the back…

    Go to the initial menu, swipe until you see drums, then select more sounds, then from the menu, find an electronic kit and the buttons will show up as a set of pads, instead of acoustic drums. The same principle does apply to acoustic sounds as well however.

    I do have this exact blue Variax 600 model since 2007 and in addition to its flexibility I must say it really feels and plays nicely and the trem is actually pretty good. Its main problem is while you can switch the sounds - it always feels the same and sometimes a different feeling makes more of a difference for the player than the sound itself. In 2009 I added the Pod X3 Live, which works great with the Variax and you can set stuff up to also control the guitar so the guitar models are adjusted together with the amp models so you can change your whole sound with the push of a single button.

  • @BrunodeSouzaLino
    @BrunodeSouzaLino15 күн бұрын

    If I'm not mistaken, you can change what each preset does in Variax Workbench, which I believe could either be connected using their USB adapter or via another USB hardware which could interface with the Variax, like a POD XT/X3.

    If you wanted to save on xlr cable costs and not have a ton of XLR cables or a really costly and chonky snake running from A to B, you can also get cat5e or cat6 ethernet cable (pref individually sheilded as well as fully sheilded), and use the 4 twisted pairs as a sort of combination snake by just buying some xlr connectors and wiring them up into a small section of breakout using each unshethed twisted pair from the main cable along with it's respective sheilding, and some heat shrink to neatly finish off each xlr jack. Each cable is then basically a 4x balenced xlr snake in a single thin wire form factor. You can do it with multiple cat cables to and from sub-d25 connectors too (with ground pins), or even make your own ethernet sockets, with a box that breaks out into xlr or sub-d or w/e if you're that way inclined, and then you can just use straight ethernet cable! Not ideal for live reinforcement, but for perminant installation in project studios where no one will be going anywhere near the wiring with their feet, it's really nice, neat and cheap in comparison with around the same performance in a smaller form factor. You only loose a tad of robustness, but if you choose the right heat shrink, it should be pretty rock solid.If you use rj45 connectors then it's really durable (but it's also a real pain wiring up them rj45 plugs, the sockets suck too but aren't as bad, however the plugs really suck!), but why wire them when buying premade cat5e/6 ethernet cable is pretty cheap these days! Some places even have just the connectors for switching to M or F sub-d from ethernet rj45 and basically act as a conversion socket you just plug into your already present sub-d sockets at either end and then plug in your ethernet cable into them (which is probably the easiest way to set this up, but resrticts you to buying db25 capable gear and quite a lot of their convertors). It's much more versitile if you just wire the connections inside a box yourself, it's really not too hard as you can buy the fully assembled rj45 cat5e/6 network cables and all you need to know is the ethernet socket pinout really (and sub -d if not xlr breakout) as it's all just direct wiring with no other componants other than the sockets and the wires (unless you wanted to add features which are not just direct connections). You can repupose old XLR patch bays for this as a really cheap way to build the housing as they already have all the break out connectors and the wiring built in, you'd just need to remove some xlr, and replace with RJ45 and rewire them (the only thing you would need is somethnig to fill in the blank space around the RJ45 sockets, which is easy and could even be a just a few small bits of wood with some holes in if you wanted)! Even a broken old active patch bay with grounding and other powered functions could be even cheaper, you can just gut all the other electronics and use them for something else, or sell them, or just give them to someone who might use them if not you, as the grounds will be straight pass through from the RJ45 to the break out connectors, rather than needing to be grounded at the (no longer) active patch bay. ;)

    Side note on lateral vibrato; you can actually do it on guitar. The way it works is that you're pulling or pushing the string away from the bridge, increasing and decreasing the tension, thus the pitch, of the string. It makes for a very subtle vibrato and you can go both above and below in pitch, as opposed to above only. It's also much easier to control the vibrato depth and speed than with vertical vibrato and you can really deepen your sound with it. It's also easy to do with chords and even on certain notes of chords, like the top note only.
