Just moved this week and no internet there yet. Might leave it off a bit until we get some of the many things done that need to be done without too much distraction, Hopefully all is good here. I see that Morgo is slugging it a bit.
The jam space at the new place is on the tight side, but I got the drums and amps and pa set up first thing. Hopefully I donāt drive my girl nuts. She thinks she knows, but she doesnāt know yet. She never heard the non-master volume amps yet, or any of them other than a little Roland cube at low volume once in a while.
Happy days! Getting a PA system, drums and amps in the pad too! Remember to pee around the corners of the space just a little bit to mark your turf, a ancient but effective technique that wards off roving yoga mats and running machines! :
When I learn a big bunch of new songs, Iāll practice them from the start on the first day but the next day from halfway through, and keep that pattern going. When I start from halfway I still āfast forwardā the first half mentally.
Itās a method that seems especially helpful when thereās changeups and varying arrangements/outro sections in the second half of songs.
For the studio, imo a good quality high back/recliner office chair and footstool help a lot. I donāt like to have to get up to take a snooze lol
Iāve been using You Tube to work on some of these covers for that audition and in the past, Iād get the one quick ad that you could skip after about 5 seconds. But now thereās two ads in the beginning and then an ad will pop up in the middle during some of the longer tutorials.
Still beats the hell out of listening to the song over and over again trying to figure it out.
The ad blocker uBlock Origin is the droid you are looking for my friend. Available on mobile browsers too if youāre on your iPad, at least I have it for Firefox on LineageOS so must be on others, or just use Firefox.
Thanks Bevo and Snook. Iām sure if I created a You Tube account, the ads wouldnāt be so bad. I just hope the content providers are getting a few sheckles from it.
On the whole though, it is a small price to pay when you consider what Iām getting.
Only if you pay for Youtube Premium, I believe
I download them via ClipGrab and play them in Pot Player
You can set loop start and end points via the [ and ] keys
Saves reaching for the mouse to hit āskip adsā all the time
Interesting audition today, they ask me to join the band so I guess I did OK.
Interesting part was they wanted me to bring my acoustic for a few of the songs. First time I ever played āSundownā while the lead guitar player channeled his inner Eddie Van Halen.
Between the newāish job and all that goes with working at a startup, moving aftermath, taking care of some home repairs, unraveling and squaring away messes that reared their heads after the move, and a baby on the way, Iām beat and just chilling for the night. Still no net here yet, so tethering from my phone. Hopefully setting up Lineage OS soon, if phone compatibility works out after the phone arrives. Wanted to get into monkeying with Gentoo soon, but that seems like it will be impossible for a while. Looks like a big time sink, but probably a fun and educational one too. Iām out of practice on guitar by now, but I managed to get the feelers fully working last night. Wayyy out of practice on drums, and I have lost a lot of progress there. Iāll have to think that one over. If nothing else, Iāll keep the kit around for a buddy so that he doesnāt have to haul his over to play. But hopefully after some things settle down, Iāll get back to playing the kit.
