I want to buy the volca drum to play with and had an idea.

When I play guitar I like doing small loops to improv.

My looper is super simple and does not have midi sync or anything like that so letting the volca play while trying to match tempo with my loops is practically impossible.

I was thinking of buying a P10 stereo > P2 mono adapter and just plug my guitar cable into the volca headphones out and to my pedalboard and just record the drum pattern into the looper. This should work, right?

My amp is solid state super clean so it will not color the sound too much.

Quero entrar no mundo dos DAPs e preciso de sugestões pois parecem existir muitos modelos e fico perdido.

Meus fones são um KZ ZSN Pro e Phillips SHP9500.

Eu baixo músicas então prefiro um DAP offline e, se possível, sem Android. Não quero um sistema operacional completo sugando mais bateria do que necessário.

Gostaria de usar flac se possível, mas também tenho as músicas convertidas pra opus pra caber o máximo possível no smartphone. Tenho hoje um total de 606 albums completos totalizando 25GB em formato opus.

Todos os álbuns estão separados em pastas na hierarquia "pasta com nome do artista" > "subpasta ano - nome do album".

Dentro da pasta "ano - álbum" tem as músicas e um arquivo da capa do álbum cover.jpg

Quero um DAP se possível com touch pra ficar mais fácil de mexer, bom em organizar os álbuns (muito player de PC/Android se caga ao organizar álbuns com múltiplos artistas), mostrasse as letras das músicas, a capa do álbum e não seja absurdo de caro (máximo R$800).

Eu gosto de usar audioscrobbler/last.fm, mas posso abrir mão por não ter Android e nem conexão na internet no DAP. Não sei como um DAP offline com player próprio faria isso.

Looking for something smallish to use to make basic percussion while creating guitar loops.

As far as I know there are some cajons that do that, but if there is something smaller it would be best.

Looking to plug into my pedalboard and record on the looper.

I play using a clean fenderish preamp pedal into a solid state power amp into a 1x12 cab.

I already have a Marshall like drive that can do the jtm/59/87 that I really like. Already have a RAT too for more distortion diversity.

When i'm not using any drive, my clean tone is nice with delay, but it is just that. Just clean. Not much life there.

What I'm looking is an always on pedal before my clean preamp that gives me that edge of breakup tone and responds to my picking and can be pushed with others boosts, drives and takes fuzz.

I'm not looking into a pedal to push the fenderish preamp because it does not distort. It is always clean. I'm looking for a pedal to act like the edge of breakup by itself.

Any suggestions?

Update: thanks guys! I'll look for each suggestions here.

Also surprised nobody mentioned Benson Preamp here. I was looking for this over the internet and found this in plenty of threads.

My Cort G290 FAT II have two humbuckers that are quite hot, but it has a 5 way switch which has split outer coils in position 4 and inner coils in position 2 giving me a more lower output and dynamic sound. Schematic here.

I really like the sound of it, but I'm debating getting a P94 for the neck so I can use the bridge for my metal tone and neck for everything else.

I am in the look for my first fuzz pedal and I hear a lot that fuzz and single coils are the best, but why? Is because of humbuckers higher output generally making it less dynamic and more compressed, reaching saturation sooner?

Shouldn't a lower output humbucker like PAFs or fillertrons achieve the same?

I play only at home and my setup now is all pedals. I have a 1x12 cab loaded with a V30 speaker and an 100w solid state power amp giving it juice.

In this scenario I don't need an effects loop since my tone all comes from pedals. So i just put the looper after the preamp and modulation pedais, in the end of the chain.

But now I'm looking for a little tube amp head for playing at home and I am contemplating a JTM 1w head or a Princeton Tweed 5w head.

I play and practice almost always using the looper pedal. From jazz, funk, rock to metal.

Would the lack of effects loop, when layering loops, cause everything to distort in this scenario?

I play low volume, but i'm not really sure how much headroom these will give me before reaching tube distortion.

Gives me "normally up, want up".

Dbus is enabled and running.

I normally use IWD alone, but it is not resolving the DNS. Even if using openresolv.

The same is happening with NetworkManager and WPA_supplicant

Any clues?

Solved by manually setting 8.8.8.8 in resolv.conf, but something is fishy here

Estou entre dois notebooks para uso com Linux casual. Não jogo, pois já tenho um desktop AM5 na sala parrudo numa TV 4k pra jogar.

É linux, navegar, estudar alguma coisa relacionada a guitarra, ouvir música e coisas do trabalho (não relacionado com informática). Casual mesmo.

E14 Gen 6:

• Ryzen 7735u
• video integrado 660M
• 16GB DDR5
• 256GB SSD NVME
• R$320
• especificações completas

E14 Gen 7

• Ryzen 5 220
• video integrado 740M
• 16GB DDR5
• 512GB SSD NVME
• R$4000
• especificações completas

Pro meu uso aparentemente as especificações não vão fazer diferença. O que me pesa no primeiro é o armazenamento. Eu guardo muita música e prefiro ter 512GB de SSD. Então teria que fazer esse upgrade eventualmente.

I know the Ryzen is newer and DDR5, but it is more expensive. Both can do what I need with power to spare and will likely not feel the difference.

I was using a Asus Vivobook with a Ryzen 3500u, 12GB RAM and it was working flawlessly for my use case. So I am looking at the 7735hs just because the i5 will feel like buying the same laptop again.

Looking purely for energy efficiency, battery duration and temperatures. Is the 7735hs that much more power hungry? 35w TDP feels like a lot. Does it get hot?

Are the technological specs/ports that much different between both models?

Vendi meu notebook recentemente porque montei um PC de jogos pra sala de casa tem um ano (AM5) e to usando ele também pra coisas casuais, mas agora to sentindo falta de um notebook pra certas ocasiões como viagens.

Meu uso é simples. Eu uso Linux 100% do tempo (até no PC gamer) então não preciso de super recursos, mas também não quero algo tao ultrapassado.

Meu notebook anterior era um Ryzen 3500u com 12GB de RAM e video Vega 8 integrado e nunca passei perrengue algum. Sempre rodou lisinho.

O que eu queria agora:

• 14 polegadas
• processador com video integrado e baixo consumo
• SSD de 512GB
• Se possível uma tela bacana, pois o anterior era TN.

Encontrei o Lenovo Ideapad Slim com Ryzen AI 5 330, mas vi que esse processador é uma mentirada da AMD pois é equivalente a um Ryzen 3, só mudaram o nome. Isso não me importa tanto, pois não preciso de muitos núcleos nem nada. O importante é pagar preço justo.

Ele ta 4500 a vista. Tem 16GB DDR5 e SSD de 512GB com tela IPS. Achei meio caro, mas pelo visto é a nova realidade.

O que recomendam?

I practice guitar daily with a looper pedal and I use my smartphone for metronome/drums.

I want to spice things up a little without breaking the bank and I found these Volca things. It looks awesome and exactly what I need because I don't want to be tied to a computer.

The only downside is not connecting to my stereo bluetooth speakers, but that's fine.

I want more realistic drums, but of course am not oppose to experimentation since I love chiptunes and 8bit sounds and it could be something I can play around even without my guitar.

Anyway, what would be the best choice to work as a quick and easy drum machine?

Important info: I use Linux, so if loading samples is going to be difficult, then it's a no. I have a windows virtual machine inside, so if the process of adding samples is simple enough than i guess it's ok.

Opa, galera. Tranquilos?

Esse ano pretendemos começar a busca pela troca do nosso New Fiesta 2017. Estamos visando o Geely EX2 por hora, mas de olho no Aion que ta pra vir.

Pra quem só teve carro manual tradicional a vida toda, como foi chegar pra fazer o test drive na concessionária?

Os caras te soltam o carro na mão e boa? Pega o jeito fácil?

Eu dirigi automático umas quatro vezes na vida 20 anos atrás quando trabalhei em estacionamento, depois nunca mais.
