Only real way to test is a signal generator into your amp, then view the visible movement of the cones.

But how low and how high, and does your amp even have a transformer?! I would not be surprised if there were some amps out there that would try to deliver 10Hz to a speaker. Just because manufacturer specs only quote from 20Hz-20kHz doesn't mean anything!

Running Cakewalk.exe /? shows all the switches it supports. You should in theory be able to install it where you like with this: Cakewalk.exe /DIR="D:\Cakewalk"

The user download folder is the main one that all apps should use by default - even your browser would. If you reconfigured your browser to use a different location then that would only apply to that browser. The proper way would be to move your download folder: - go to C:\users\username - right-click downloads and view properties - go to Location tab and hit Move This will move your files onto another drive if need be and update all the pointers to it so that other apps that try to use your proper download folder will use the new location also.

Odd, I just hit next until it finished. Looks like you can run this: cakewalk.exe /LOG Then go to %TEMP% in an explorer window and find a log file in there named 'Setup Log <DATE> #001.txt' for the installation which might give further clues.

I just tried to install it via the Bandlab Assistant they make you download. It downloaded the installer then just hung around for hours saying 'installing'. I quit the Bandlab Assistant app and just ran Cakewalk.exe from my Downloads folder and it's now installing properly!

Sounds like great sonic improvements. Now they just have to improve the looks!

I would just look for a used CMD121H then sell the 121P if that sounds like an option you'd entertain. Slightly bigger, easier to reach controls, deeper lows and sweeter highs.

As a long time Cakewalk Sonar fan, and my day job is making and fixing other people's broken installers, I'll see if I can help @Dad3353!

The Diamond and OvniFX smoothie compressors both feature tilt EQs.

+1, Yamaha nailed the BB pickups by having a super high output J bridge pickup - mine is louder than the P pickup. Blending the two sounds a lot more like that sound you get from a Jazz with both pups up full compared to many PJs where adding the J just slightly alters the main P sound rather than totally transforming it.

Only reason being that Mr Bass Compressor absolutely slated TC here! http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/hyper.shtml

It takes a lot of effort to design a cooling system that is both effective at dissipating heat at gig volume yet relatively silent at bedroom levels. But hopefully with enough people moaning about it manufacturers will take note and put that effort in! Quietest bedroom amp I ever had was an Orange AD200B, no fan!

Don't knock it until you've tried it! I dismissed it for a long time just assuming everyone that liked it probably had cloth ears. I was genuinely shocked how good it was, especially given that I tend not to like digital stuff either. I need to spend some more time with them both, but the Cali wins for transparent yet slightly fattening compression, the Spectracomp though is an amazing tone enhancer, makes your bass sound like it has magical fairy dust sprinkled on top!

I highly rate the Spectracomp also, that I just picked up used for £50. So much so that my Cali Compact Bass might be up for the chop!

I mean with the tap tempo you could switch between: Preset A: Tubey drive and a RAT in parallel Preset B: Muff fuzz and Darkglass distortion in parallel You can't do the above using an A/B switch to flick between the two stereo outs.

I thought the tap tempo method switched the pedal between two banks? So you could use it to flip between 2 presets on each switch position. I think you can do the same by just holding the button down, but that is not exactly gig friendly! Time to consult the manual perhaps! Anyhow Source Audio are particularly active and helpful on Talkbass and probably via other mediums also. The A/B switch method is limited in that you can only have one distortion engine running rather than two in parallel. Being able to blend a thick muff fuzz with the cutting ability of the Darkglassish distortion is where the pedal really shines IMHO.

Check out the first couple of minutes of this video and notice how dull the Deluxe and Elite sound compared to the Flea. I think a lot of this is down to the noiseless pickups as they will either be split humbuckers or carry a dummy coil, both of which can mute your high end, or so I believe!

Hey TC - send me a free pedal and unlocked editor and I will record a demo. Just get someone better looking to mime for the video!

Cheers Bas! And just to clarify, we actually had our own separate beers!

That pretty much nails the tone in my head. And by that I mean the crap drive sound I imagined this would have! It does sound authentic in a way though, that's exactly the kind of tone you get from a tube drive that's fed too much low end. It would react totally differently, growl more and fart less with a bit of low end roll off and upper mid boost going into it. And I bet it can do just that with a bit of tweaking. That you can't do.

Just put a pair of dirty boxers on the sub, not many will want to put their drink on top.
