Alison Wilder<p>My new studio pedal setup☝️has a HEALTHY start! Everything is powered. I have two stereo effects loops patched into my main patchbays, which are attached to two groups on my mixer so I can push buttons to send things to either loop. </p><p>Currently, the mixer groups are wired into a couple of specific pedals, but once the patch bay arrives, any routing will be possible! </p><p>To do: MIDI to pedals and wiring in the pedal patchbay when it arrives from Australia. This is already AWESOME though!</p><p><a href="https://io.waxandleather.com/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GearSquad</span></a></p>
Ladder Logic 🇨🇦<p>Okay, this stuff is starting to get really out-of-hand. Rick carries on from his first posting about Spotify generating AI music to enrich themselves even further, and in this instalment he shows just how easy it is to do.

Ladder Logic 🇨🇦<p>Had a great day working in the studio today, successfully laying &amp; comping the lead vocals on a reworked version of the first really good song I cowrote with Lee Sutherland back in 1979. I might need to do a few punch-ins to fix little issues. And I still have the harmony vocals to add for the ending. Then the lead guitar part, which will keep me on my toes. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.world/@muz4now" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>muz4now</span></a></span> has been a huge help adding the keyboard and bass parts for me.<br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GearSquad</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Recording</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Studio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Studio</span></a></p>

It has the most consistent intonation across the fretboard of all the guitars I have. My Taylor 512CE in ironbark is the exception, that also has perfect intonation. So the caliber is high. The high E on my Charvel jumps off the fretboard sometimes. I got used to it and compensate. No biggie. The hot switch is exceptional. It’s a versatile tone machine. 🖤</p>

Geoff Duncan<p>My favorite weirdo guitar has developed some sort of wiring problem, and I'm really hoping it's not the almost 60-year-old pickups deciding to fail due to corrosion or something. Wiring I can handle; rewinding ancient Maxon pickups, not so much.</p><p>Otherwise, it's probably "only" redoing the entire harness. On a thin hollowbody. Always a joy.</p><p>Meh, maybe I can just live with it. It still operates pretty well, it's just really low output.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>guitar</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gearsquad</span></a></p>
