I have just downloaded BIAB 2024 and when I select the Multipicker Library button and then the rightmost option style I get either a Blank screen, Out of range, or stream error.

The TONEX looks a good unit, but are there any high quality modern amplifier profiles which can be purchased ?

I think you get a lot more bell like sound by recording with a condenser mic instead of a dynamic mic.

I tested five of each type of mic in a studio and all of the condenser mics sounded more bell ...

Does anyone know the correct spring reverb for an old Webb 6-14E amp, probably about 1978 Thanks Alan

Thanks everyone for the replies, I ended up getting them from Williams Guitars who seem to have loads of them. Great company to deal with, thanks Alan..

Hi

Does anyone know where I can buy 150 standard hex nylon tuners

3/16 X 1.5 inches long

Thanks
Alan..

My E lower is right knee left and I agree with Ian it would be better right knee right to give best pedal access playing the B6 tuning. Great topic which I must study later. Alan..

I am trying to create BIAB backing for a song with 6/4 timing at about 75bpm.

Each measure can have a maximum of 4 beats so to get six beats per bar I can have two measures per bar

Either ...

Many thanks to all who have participated in the discussion and poll, lots of very funny and interesting thoughts. I think Doug's comment is spot on, "Some people think the front of an instrumen ...

Hi Ian, Jerry The current poll looks clear cut enough. At least we can be sure steel players all think the same way, so when another musician thinks differently we can suggest unlike a keyboard the f ...

Hi Fred, Great news, here is the solution to our problem. Zoom, Duo and Skype have so much lag they are all unusable, but there are specialist programs which work very well. I have tried Jamkazan and ...

Hi Fred,
That's interesting, I have not tried Zoom, I just see on the internet it talks about echo cancellation etc, which sounds like half duplex, but I will try it, and suffer the security issues ! ...

Hi Andy,
Yes he is a Mensa member, I used to have an old recording of an interview with Wally Whyton the BBC presenter of Country Club in the UK, it was mentioned then, must have been early 1980's

I have been playing my home made U12 guitar for over 25 years, it is now time to give it a major overhaul and I would really value your opinion on a number of issues.

Hi Charley

A pad seems to be a personal preference.

Lloyd Green was one of the first players to use a pad and i believe it may have helped his distinctive palm blocking style.

I think this id ...

Hi Charley,

Welcome to the club..

Bob,
Very interesting that you use the tap tempo for live situations, I will definently be giving it a try.

Hi Bob,
Sounds like a really nice way to get a midi sync for the tap tempo from your drummer, trying to tap a button at the start of a song just does not seem very practical. I think there are some b ...

Hi all, Thanks for the feedback so far, yes I would like this to get as technical as we can all handle !

I see similar but different settings on the forum for my Lexicon MPX1 from Buddy Emmons, Joh ...

Hi Lee,

Mainly thinking of live performances, most players I know seem to set and forget, due to the filter typically inserted in the feedback path I usually also hear a tone change.

Just about everyone uses these effects, I hope this can be an in-depth and possibly advanced discussion on how we can get the best out of our equipment. I have numbered my questions below which might ...
