Stub Mandrel

I'm trying to 'translate' it with a drawing of the bass clef and its notes and it's very painful for me, even in C 😞 I don't suppose there's a teeny chance the notation software you use might serve up some tab?

The have probably been overtightened and are just spinning in their holes. Try levering them up with a flathead screwdriver under the head while turning them.

To me it looks like the poly you used hasn't fully dried and is reacting with the nitro.

Back in BBC micro days one used a sine wave with a dash of white or pink noise at the beginning. 🙂

Well it gets played more than any of my other basses. It isn't very loud, but other than that...

What role do you take in the music? Baritone guitar generally is a low, twangy melody instrument. Bass generally plays bass lines...

That will just be caution about the amount of 'headroom' for larger active signal. It won't break it, just be prepared for harsh clipping/distortion.

They are fourier analyses of the sounds, no time domain in those graphs. Most of the flute overtones are inaudible

And I've doubled the buffer size which seems to have worked for the pausing 🙂

Possibly... where do I check? ASIO4ALL has sorted the latency issue 🙂

Well using a Wav made no difference 😞 I'll try ASIO4ALL !

The ultimate 'wrong' is a Fender Acoustosonic. They give 'fugly' a bad name...

Are you sure you are doing it right? With my Ammoon it's dead simple, switch on transmitter THEN receiver, let them pair and then use it like a lead.

These graphs could show the movement of a string, and electrical signal, the movement of a speaker coil or the movement of the air. These frequencies are related, but they don't need to be. Just plot the signals and add them together and the resulting graph plots out what you get. Sometimes what you get has some big, fast changes or really slow ones. These may bet 'filtered out' by the characteristics of the circuit or loudspeaker etc. and this can 'colour' the sound.

That's what I'm doing, sorry, but converting to a wav is an idea. I've managed to record my line now, took ages to realise why it sounded so bad was because of latency!

It's just and MP3 as a guide, I'm playing it on the desktop and recording my bass direct into the soundcard as I haven't got my Scarlett2i here. I haven't had problems doing this before.

Sorry I can't help but I have a query of my own. I'm trying to put a bassline to a piece our guitarist has sent me using Reaper and once or twice on EVERY play through the playback pauses for a moment. His track is fine in any other player. Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong? The only other foreground programs I'm running are Outlook and Firefox. (W10)

That would be easy to play as I know mandolin chords (which are mostly guitar chords backwards) and sound great an octave lower.

Not well known outside Ireland. I have The Man Who Built America on original vinyl.

Add a zero the price and say it's a boutique maker and people will be falling over themselves for it... (I think I tweeted my disgust for that particular one a few weeks ago...)

I hope no-one is sad enough to leave the bit of plastic with the control names on in place....

It does sound great, I haven't played a bouzouki since the early 90s and as I think it was tuned AGDB (or similar) like the top four strings of a guitar to make it easy to play. GDAD would be like a strumstick with a bass string 🙂

It is possible to design amps with Safe Operating ARea Protection - SOAR - that limit their output if they start to overheat, so they run louder and longer with better cooling. In practice I've only come across this on integrated amps - much easier to design with all the sensing components on the same chip. It would surprise me if compact class-D amps don't do this. It can also allow an amp to output brief amounts of headline grabbing power taht it can't handle continuously. Worth remembering that the PSU needs to keep up as well and if its a high-power SMPSU it will probably need forced cooling. (On which point these days most computer PSUs are virtually silent so why aren't amps?)
