Haven't really played a lot of Motown stuff, but I play along to some funk now and again. I have tried the sponge/foam muting trick, but I didn't feel like I made it work. I palm mute slightly now if I want that muted sound, but then I have to play with a pick. Can't really palm mute and play fingerstyle 😅 I do want to get another bass in the future though, so that I can have one with a lower action and mess more around with sponges and such to really get that funky muted sound.

Thanks! 😁

hmm, that sounds strange. Does it stream nicely and record nicely if you mute the desktop audio recording? If so, one work around could be to setup a hotkey to mute the desktop audio. So that you can easily turn it on and off. Not an optimal solution as it leads to having to remember to turn something on and off all the time though. If you figure out what the problem is though, I would appreciate an update, as I might encounter the same problem myself in the future.

Thanks! I might look into where dark and light don't differ. Sounds like a really fun song to play 🤘

Thanks! :D

😁🤘

Thanks a ton! 😁🍻

😄

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! 😄

Glad the video was helpful! And yes, I'm from Norway 😊

@@EV_Music 🤘🏻

Thanks man! 😁 I might have to look into that one, I find it slightly sad that there aren't any decent tabs or covers showing how to play a lot of the old black metal when it has been around for three decades now.

😄

Love Sons of Anarchy! 😂

Yupp, I agree. There are a couple of brands I believe that make actual flatwounds for acoustic guitars. There have been some mentions in the comments of this video (can't remember them at the moment). So I really want to try that in the future, but these Flat tops are great, I'm never going back to roundwounds.

😁

Thanks man! 😁 I agree, Immortals acoustic and clean parts are awesome. 🤘

Hey man! I don't really stream music making. But this should work, if I remember correctly i actually tested it by setting up a private streaming session just to check if it was synced and I got it working. By testing and setting the sync offset option on your audio tracks in OBS you should be able to have your livestream synced. Let me know how it goes and if it doesn't work I might be able to help! Hope you get it working 👍

Probably more labor that goes into making them cause they flatten out the winding

Thanks! This is a preset I made on my Quad Cortex, but as long as you have something that gives you distortion that's fine. I send my Quad Cortex to my audio interface and record directly into the computer, so there are no amps or mics involved. I use the bridge pickup with the tone and volume knob set to max for the distorted guitar, and then the neck pickup with tone and volume set to max for clean stuff as well. I use an EQ afterwards where I high-pass at somewhere around 100-200hz. Then I boost with a slight slope at around 3k giving some boost to around 2-5k hz for some harshness. But most importantly is that the guitar is double tracked. I record the guitar twice and then pan the guitar hard left and right. So there are two guitars playing the exact same thing which makes the tone sound quite massive.

Thanks! 😁

Haha! 😂 So true, I was 117kg (258 pounds) back then. I'm 93kg (205 pounds) now. I'm 1,95m (6,4 foot) tall though, so 93kg isn't really that bad. But I will continue to workout and try my best to keep my diet clean 💪

Hehe, I might start to look into it. But I will do Call of The Wintermoon first 😁

@@EV_Music Ty :D

I use a quad cortex.

😁🤘

@@EV_Music God damn.

😁👍

Thank you! Probably Antarctica first if I'm going to figure out of another Immortal song. Or maybe Call of The Winter Moon 😄

Thanks 😁

Thanks for the comment man! Super fun to play indeed 😁 I think those fast single note parts in the bridge part is the hardest for me.

Those are the only three inputs though? Except for the electricity that is optional since it is also powered by USB. At least on the Keystation61, are you using another midi keyboard?

Glad it was helpful! 😁👍

Hi! You can check where reaper find VST plugins and add folder paths to where reaper checks for VST plugins by going to the "Options" drop down menu on the top. Then in the left window with the list you will find "VST" almost at the bottom of that list. On the top it will show you the "VST plug in paths) There's a button under there to the right which says "Edit path list..." there you can add folders reaper should check for plugins. Then you have to scan for them to show up.

@@EV_Music That's amazing cheers, though I got that far after I commented. I still have no sound. It looks plug and play in the video, like you install the stuff and plug in the drumpad. I've been messing around for over an hour and can't get a single sound out of it. I'll maybe just send it back.

@@j.m5888 Two things come to mind. Nr 1: You're adding VST's to a normal track. The input for the track should be set to "Midi" You can find a setting there called "All Midi Inputs" and then choose "All Channels" for your track input. Another way to just add VST instruments is by right clicking down where your tracks are and choose "Insert virtual instrument on new track" and I believe it then should automatically set the input to "All Midi Channels" As I commented on you're other comment, it might be a setting in the plugin. You could test that by installing Spitfire Audios "LABS", that is a VST management software. Almost like "Steam" for games. But all those LABS instruments are free and of very good quality, especially for bein free. You can find out how to get startet with that here: www.spitfireaudio.com/getting-started-labs I believe that if you install those instruments in their default path, that reaper will find them. On the LABS plugin you can easily see that "Midi Ch: ..." is a setting on the top there. So by installing something like the "Soft Piano" that they have and setting the "Midi Ch:" to "Any". Then that should work.

@@EV_MusicThanks for trying to help, it's hella complicated. I right-click and add 'Insert virtual instrument on new track', like the video. With that I set Input: MIDI - MPD218 - Channel 10 / All Channels, nothing.

​@@j.m5888 I get your frustration man, I've been messing around with audio stuff for a long time. And it's such a hassle having to deal with all the programs and devices when all you want is to just make some music :/ Since you mentioned that it's a laptop though, I would guess your setup is fairly portable. So if you have a local music gear store, you might try taking it there and ask if someone there knows.

Do you have any other midi devices that work? Like a keyboard? If you have other devices making sound and not the MPD that's a little strange. It could be the plugin that you are trying to use though. I know that some plugins need to have a setting for what midi channel they are using to work. For example I use "Kontakt" which is a sort of VST instrument loader. It has a setting called something like "Midi Ch:" Where I have to change it from whatever it says to "Omni" which I believe just means "All" and then it starts to work. So it might be a setting in the plugin that you are trying to use. Hope that helps! 😁

@@EV_Music I tried to get Reaper running on Ubuntu first, but all the proprietary software forced me onto an old Windows laptop I keep for emergencies. The VU shows input from the MPD, but no sound in any configuration. I imagined the default would be what's plugged in (headphones) but nothing. In the video it's plug in, pick a channel and that's it, but I must be missing something.
