You might be better selling the PT & getting something like a Diago Gigman?

In the worship band, I find some songs need the click track to keep everyone in time, especially if there's a pause in the song or a part that's not got a noticeable rhythm playing with it. But then there's songs where we switch the metronome off after the count in & just play. The click gets in the way of the feel. In my rock band, there's no click track. I was listening to some stuff we did last week & there's a few parts where even if just the drummer had a click, it would have made a huge improvement.

It's the vocalist who's the worst timekeeper in the band I'm in, though in fairness, he's not really a musician. I don't think he counts bars at all.
-
It must be great to live in an area with an abundance of musicians of various levels of skill to choose from.
-
Got it.

I think the "guitarist" point is that if they're able to turn it down & still have their "tone", then they're more of a musician than a guitarist. Same goes for drummists, but their volume is controlled through their hitting.
-
I know a few drummers like that. They'll start a song at quick 4/4 tempo & by the end the song, we're playing a slow shuffle!
-
I know. How odd!
-
I don't think so. The guitard brought him along as there's a shortage of singers (& musicians) round here. In fairness, he's looking at getting singing lessons.
-
It's our singist that could do with a metronome. He could also do with learning to count beats & bars & maybe learn to sing too.

It was the Volta tour in Las Vegas (December 2008 IIRC). She did a lot of stuff from previous albums too. Desired Constellations was awesome. It was played on a reactable table synth.

The Mrs just showed me this on Reddit, so I found it on YouChoob to share.

When I saw Bjork about a decade ago, there were 2 big digital metronomes each side of the stage. Considering inly a couple of her songs were in 4/4, I was impressed. Most (if not all) pro bands and church bands use a click track through the IEM.
-
I've heard that. I've more commonly heard some folk (who obviously are not bassists) saying that it's the same bassline.
-
I've been trying to get my past 2 bands to play "I can't go for that", but the problem is, I live in Perth. The drummers from both bands were up for it, but the rest are either pop indie or pop grandad rock (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, etc). Maybe when I move away I'll find a bunch of decent musicians.

Jacks? My amp has a cable terminal where you push a button & insert bared cable.
-
Nobody got a GK Plex? They look pretty good too. I've not tried one yet.

If you're a windows user & after a free DAW, then good news. Sonar is back. It's now called Cakewalk by BandLab. Here's more info... https://www.soundonsound.com/news/sonar-now-free-renamed-cakewalk-bandlab I'm happy with Logic Pro X on the Mac.

My monitor purchase has been placed on hold until I sell the house (it's going on the market in the next few days), so for mixing, I use a pair of Superlux HD 668B headphones. For just listening, I have a pair of Creative T20 PC speakers, which are actually pretty decent for a cheap set of speakers. If you've got a decent pair of headphones, I found a Youchoob channel that does speaker sound comparisons. https://www.youtube.com/user/skubny Well worth checking out. It's worth going & listening to the songs they use so you can get a comparison.

Loving a song that Tori Kelly plays called So Will I (100 Billion X). It's just her on guitar & singing & I've been playing along on the Seaboard, so I decided to record it & pop it on Youchoob. I used 2 Equators. One using the String Section patch & the other using Strings & Horns.

I had a CMD102P. Like Lozz says, the best option to get more of the same is to add a 102 STD & stack them vertically. You can remove the head, but you’ll need to make a cover for the top if you plan on using it out the house (you can make it out of practically anything).
-
I’ve got mine on 400hz, though I usually just use Girth & Growl with no original signal for getting synth basics & the boost is usually off if I do blend in the original.
-
Wait until you get things like Moogers, the MF-101 took about 180-200mA (can’t recall exactly, but it was greedy). The MF-105b took about 80mA.
-
Hey @Grangur It’s the original PUPs. Other than the finish, the only things I changed were the bridge, the electronics (it used to be active, but I stripped it out & replaced all the wiring & components), the knobs & the old synth style knob is for controlling anything with a CV or expression pedal input. The bass is an Ibanez SR1000e strung with D’addario flats (Chromes).

Most pedals that say 9v are usually 10v (or so I’ve been told) & will usually run on anything from 7-12v (the Moogs are fine on anything from 7-15v). As long as there’s enough mA for the pedal, don’t worry too much about volts. Having a pedal that wants 80mA won’t change the voltage. A 9v psu will provide 9v regardless of whether you’re drawing 80mA or 480mA. Its quite common for guitarists to use a lower powered psu on dirt pedals or even make a voltage reducer so it sounds like the batteries are going flat. It causes the signal to break up more & gives a very lo-fi sound.
