I need to wear UV400 lenses all year round because of cataracts. I feel silly wearing sunglasses in the winter, so I'm looking for UV400 glasses with clear lenses. Everything I've found online seems very utilitarian and not stylish. Do you know if there is anywhere I can find stylish UV400 glasses?

I always just leave mine the opposite so I can have a more stable mic stand. Is there some sort of advantage to this I'm not aware of?

Someone here recommended this in one of my posts so I thought I'd spread the word. I was looking for a cable for RS2014 on my Mac. I bought one of the Amazon ones recommended by the sub for about $25, and also this cheap $4 one someone else recommended in the comments. They both work and sound exactly the same, so no need to get the more expensive one. (Although for whatever reason, I couldn't get my bass to work properly with either cable. The tone sounded way lower for some reason and the tuner wouldn't pick it up.)

EDIT: I have the patch that lets you use RS with an interface. It may be necessary in order for this cable to work.

I always see these things at Guitar Center and they're absurdly expensive. But the thing is, I never see celeb guitarists playing them. I'm sure some of them own them, but they clearly don't use them live very often. Are they a good brand?

I work off of my 16" laptop screen, so screen sets seemed like they would be of use to me. I tried them, but they didn't really feel right to me. Do you think it's the kind of thing where it'll pay off if I just commit to using them? Or should I just do what comes naturally at the moment?

I know there are mods for Windows, but are there any for Mac? All I could find was a fast load Mod that may or may not work with the current operating system.

Some of the technique games aren't loading. It asks me to tune, so I do and it registers the notes. Then it asks me to calibrate, so I do and it says the calibration is successful. But then it just brings me back to tuning, then to calibration, then tuning... over and over again in an endless loop. The guitar is in tune and calibrated. But the first game will load fine, and learning songs works fine too. I can use "delete" to skip tuning and calibration in those instances, but not with the other games. Any ideas what could be wrong? I'm using RS2014 on Mac with a 3rd party cable.

I tried all the tutorials, but I just wasn't able to get my Scarlett to work with Rocksmith. But I'm wondering, if I used a 1/4" to XLR cable and plugged that into the interface, would that work in Microphone mode?

I wanted to get Rocksmith working with my Scarlett, but after trying for hours with different tutorials it still didn't work. I'm looking at the Amazon selection for cables and they range from like $15-$40. I need one that works for Mac, and I'd rather buy a good cable that lasts than a cheap one that breaks easily. Are there any you'd recommend? Thanks for the help!

I've been building my library of CDLC with Customsforge, but today I can't download anything. I signed in and all the songs just show "unable to download". Any ideas what the issue is?

I'd love to add some hip-hop to my CDLC, but I was having trouble thinking of songs with interesting parts. Most songs like that are just the same riff looped. I'm hoping to find things like Mos Def's Umi Says and a lot of Andre 3000's solo stuff, like Prototype. Any suggestions?

I have an untreated apartment, so I went all-in on the Slate VSX ecosystem. It's been really helpful. Before I was using Sonarworks, but I didn't realize how inaccurate it was until I got the VSX. I spend the vast majority of my time mixing in Human Linear, but I like the Howie mastering room and Desert Studio. Do you have any favs?

There are like a million of these no-name companies, and most are selling the same plugins with really slight variations. If you're spending good money on these things, why wouldn't you just go with the super popular plug-ins? Realistically, I can see maybe choosing from the top 10-20 options for whatever category you're looking at. But below that margin? Doesn't seem like it's worth searching through and experimenting at that point.

Say if someone were to do TM for 3 sessions in 3 days vs. doing 6 sessions in 3 days, would they feel a noticeable difference on day 4 depending on how much they practiced in the previous 3 days?

I’m trying to automate the panning for my track in realtime as it plays. For some reason it seems to default to panning slightly after where the track is playing. It doesn’t seem like latency as it seems like it’s set up to work this way. I couldn’t find an option for it, though. Any ideas how to fix this?

SOLUTION: I found the setting. Audio > General > Set plug-in compensation to "off". Poorly named function given the pan knob isn't a plug-in lol.

So most of the time when I select two or more tracks, the faders will move simultaneously when I just move one. Sometimes one of the selected tracks won't move, though. Why does this happen?

Been listening to some of my songs alongside reference tracks. I worked really hard at getting the vocals to sound professional, but I think I overdid it. Now it sounds really pristine and not suited for the songs. Been removing some of the plugins and turning others down, but I think I narrowed down the main issue to be the choice of reverb. Do you have any suggestions for this situation?

I’m trying to arrange some sounds forward and back in the mix. I have some stuff that lets me place things left and right, but not forward and back. It’d be cool if I had a plugin that gave me a visual to use for this.
