Congrats on the Stealth!

I bought one a while ago before I took a bit of a musical detour (I've been plinking the uke a lot lately), and it's a truly gorgeous instrument with tone like a bell. Now ...

Thanks to George Boards Piburn, I now have a lap steel I can truly call my own.

I do have a 6-string Gretsch Electromatic that I'll be keeping tuned in open E for now, but it's just not the same, ...

Coming to this late, I know, but it occurs to me that you might add a LIMIT clause to your SELECT. A large result coming back from this query could very well hang things up for a bit.

I just upgraded from Sonar 6 pro to 8 Pro and I have to say I'm liking it a lot. I discovered that Boost module and went just a bit nuts with it Smile

Sigh. Never mind. I just got an email response from David Pascal, and he's out of stock.

Does anyone know if Pascal Records maintains a stock of their listed CDs? I'd like to get a copy of The Blue Hawaiians' "Sway" (now that I know from Gary Brandin that the tune I heard on you ...

Aha! I was just going to post this question elsewhere, but since we have Gary on the line right here, I hope you don't mind if I put this here:

I'm just learning steel (have picked up both pedal an ...

This sort of ties into the earlier question I had, as well. I'm finding palm blocking to be really difficult because of the weird shape I have to hold my hand in to get it into action, and seem to fin ...

I have some knee levers and assorted bellcranks as well- you don't really need keyed cross shafts but they came that way.

Jim, would you be willing to part with some parts? The setup of this instru ...

OK, so I got that S-10 (pics soon). Now I'm faced with the prospect of gearing it up a bit. Though it is built to take more, it only came with one knee lever. Any thoughts on who might have appropriat ...

Do you have any way to monitor the levels you're recording? With your rig I'm not sure what kind of meters you might be able to view, but you want to make sure you're *never* going into the red. Unlik ...

If you haven't done so, it's absolutely critical that you install and direct I/O to ASIO drivers, rather than the native audio drivers on the PC.

Also, whenever you're doing audio work, kill all no ...

Thank you all very, very much. This has been a great collection of responses, and the back and forth between you all has helped a lot, in giving me ideas how to approach this.

I have a followup question about blocking.

I recall a demonstration in which a couple of tones with a certain relationship were heard differently by different people. The demonstration was meant to show two different inherent styles of hearing ...

The tutorial on blocking was really helpful, especially the bit about locating the palm crease. I've been trying to work out palm blocking vs. pick blocking, and this cleared up a lot for me.

Many ...

I actually think this goes a bit beyond using the steel as a trigger for other instruments. These tracks are about processing, and using the harmonic capabilities of the steel in an unconventional ele ...

That is ingenious.
Thanks for the info, Ulric!

Thanks, Chuck, and I got your email as well. No need to attach/send, though... I think I'll whip up something similar of my own Smile

How much difference does a blend control make when the pickups are that close together? More than I might think?

Chuck, where did you get that little chord cheat sheet taped to your instrument? Is that something you just printed up yourself from Excel?

Thanks for the question and the link. I should probably get a set of these as well. The picks I got at the local Guitar Center overlap right over my cuticles and actually are kind of uncomfortable. Ma ...

Thanks, Gavin, for the sound advice... it's much appreciated.

But! It's pretty much a done deal at this point. I've handed her half the cash and will pay it off shortly.

The odd thing is that wh ...
