Music Production, Guitar Pedals, and other things we tend to spend too much money on.
Music making is a never ending rabbit hole and I hope to explain some of the more interesting or confusing tunnels we find our selves in while ceaselessly trying to do more of it. I am an award winning music composer and producer from San Antonio TX and a multi-instrumentalist. I've worked making music for plays, tv and film and other projects that come my way. I'm also a teacher and collaborator and I hope I can help you make your next great project.
Whether you just love weird sounds, music theory and memes, or music you could never hear anywhere else. I guarantee you won't be disappointed here.
The nice thing about the tpm is you can just cut off the channel that is running a delay if you drop a bad note into it. Mistake? What mistake? rofl. Realistically, you could just hit the bypass on the delay but if you're stacking delays, they could both be in the same loop. Then shutting off that channel would be useful. Thanks for the video.
wait, so you need a pedal to stop feedback? I thought that was the voco locos job? So the voco loco is just an expensive volume pedal??? Better off just using a DI box
The Voco Loco is a pre-amp with an effects loop that adjusts for the impedance for going to the pedals… In the sound world it’s generally expected to use a graphic EQ (or a super tight parametric EQ) to prevent feedback. Consumer level products may have “auto feedback prevention” but this is little more than fancy EQ with detection tricks, which sound guys like me tend not to trust because the detection stuff can end up wrecking your stuff in other ways. Not to mention, a DI box would still need a pre-amp etc. If you are only doing studio stuff I’d agree that you don’t need the vocoloco, I use re-amp boxes all the time, send out from my daw into the pedals etc, lets you work the sound guy stuff ( EQ, compression etc ) in plugins instead of pedals. But if you are doing live stuff and want to send the sound guy your feed via a single XLR cable the vocoloco is probably your best bet, just learn how to EQ out feedback because if you’re in a dive bar the sound guy may just have a mackie 1604 and can’t prevent feedback like a solid hand on a graphic EQ can.
Any tips for live? I have a vocal processor but I like to run guitar effects after it but I’ve been losing so much signal. Should I use a DI box before mixer?
A clean boost for signal loss compensation and a 10 band EQ for feedback fighting would be a good idea. I have another video involving the Roland Voco Loco that would be worth a look.
If you get a trs to t & s splitter cable, you can run wet and dry separately out of the output jack. That's how you keep the pedal from devouring a guitar's input signal.
What if my microphone isn’t picking up volume? I can see the numbers moving on the sound card, but I cannot hear anything from my mike, nor anything from sound card
This is great! Now can you help me solve my issue? I bought a Wish Klon after watching one of your videos and was super excited when it finally arrived. Only to find it has very little gain. Maxed out the pedal is a boost for volume at best. So I ordered another one. It’s perfect! Compared the two and some resistors had the wrong value. Swapped those and it’s better but not quite right. Any thoughts on how to get the full gain I should have?
Thanks for the very useful video! Would you have any recommendations for getting multiple mics into this? (Or Eventide MixingLink.) I’m currently using a compact mixer with an aux bus + DI Box and I’m going to try switching. I’m a doubler, only playing one horn at a time with clip on mics or a vocal mic.
"Sonic nightmare" to a woker born 6 months ago: Anything which doesn't offer sounds conducive to either disco-duck rap or classical music level music theory perfect music which features 11-string guitars put through a Metal Zone while a guy who sounds like The Cookie Monster belches lyrics about how great is is to skin babies alive for Satan while hating Trump.
Long story short: Wish Clone very close to OG Guest Preferred Tumnus to Wish Clone, but basically it’s iffy if the difference is worth the extra $100 Mosky Golden horse not good And neither of us got covid
So I’m assuming because I purchased a startup, you don’t at all need to mention the software needed used to test to see how it sounds.. thank you for providing me the unboxing and the hardware but you know you’re educating BEGINNERS and you’re not AT ALL MENTIONING THE ONLY THING BEGINNERS ARE STRUGGLING WITH… PLUGGING IT INTO THE CPU AND USING IT… stop assuming we know our way around the software and actually teach us how to use this instead of buying cheap shit to teach beginners on a expert level cuz IF WE HAVE A BEGINNER SOUND CARD THEN STOP SKIPPING THE BASIC OF SOFWARE AS WELL…. I can’t stand yall influencers not actually helping and just wanting to hear yourselves tinker around its sooooooo Mf annoying
Oh my word someone thinks I’m an influencer, this is the first time someone has called me an influencer. I used a presonus fire studio as my interface and took the output from there into it via some cable conversion into the preamp in on the fire studio. I use protools, but that would be overkill for 99% of people who would buy this. If you need to look up how to do this stuff I would look up something along the lines of “DAW’s for Beginners” and not rely on reviews of products to teach you the basics.
Yeah, the ‘right kind of wrong’ thing is something I really enjoy when it comes to consumer audio gear/video gear. But if you buy any of the not so good ones you will have a very hard time reselling them
Their super phase is crzy and does thing really well. I just wanted phase on my pedal board Been missing any modulation I know it's really easy to over them but if you use them subtly then maybe they ll grow on you.
