So I am currently using a Yamaha DTX2 drum brain to send out Mitty to my nordpad. I’m using the bass drum tower and one of the drums at the moment, but I have another idea. I want to put triggers on my acoustic drums that would feed into the drum brain, but I want to be able to turn off and on the signal from the triggers to the brain and I want to be able to do this with my foot. I know I need a momentarily on switch. I’m just not sure what the best way to break the signal along the way, I would be looking to send four trigger signals based on high Tom low Tom in Midtown to trigger CGAF as an example your thoughts?

I’ve been trying to build a DAWless setup similar to taetro’s portable setup . I am trying to make my ableton move the master clock that feeds the tempo to the zoom L6 mixer (for delay effects) and the sp404mk2, all while being able to control the ableton move with my akai midi controller. Whats the best midi hub? and which are the best connection cables considering the type of cables I’ll need? (USB c vs. 3.5mm trs vs. USB a vs. 5 pin)

As for audio flow, I want to feed the ableton move and the seperate sound module of the Akai mpk play mini into the L6 mixer along with other instruments, then use the aux send channel(s) to feed to the sp404 for live sampling, effects, misc sounds and samples to then feed back into the mixer to a front of house mixer. What problems could I run into trying this audio flow?

Any and all feedback is appreciated as someone who had strictly used laptop and DAW for almost everything I’ve made for the past 7 years.

I'm a musician and have always been a music gear nerd. When I got into reselling I got tired of looking on Reverb all the time for price history, as a lot of times it gives estimates without relying on actual recent sales. I am a web developer and decided to build my own tool and I made it free for everyone since it uses Reverb public data.

If anyone tries it let me know!

We have an old audio setup that used to be my grandpa’s, then my dad’s, now my mom’s. It includes a Fisher MT-6420 turntable, fm-660 am/fm stereo synthesizer tuner, ca-880 integrated stereo amplifier, cr-125 stereo cassette deck, and 2 ds-177 speakers. Everything aside from the speakers is in a special rolling cabinet with front and top glass doors. (See pictures.) All of it as far as I know is in reasonably good condition and still works.

Is there any demand for this setup? What is a reasonable asking price? Where would be good places to look to sell? Particularly if we don’t want to deal with packing/shipping everything… (In the Philadelphia area, if that helps.) Thanks so much!!

hi everyone, so when i say i know nothing about edrums, i MEAN it, haha. i’m on the hunt for a drum set for my friends’ birthday, and based on my research, it seems like a used yamaha is probably my best option considering price point and quality. anyone have any opinions or experiences when it comes to the dtx502 and/or the dtx522? i found both of these listings online and am torn since both seem like good options i think. thanks!

Hi sorry if this isn’t allowed. I am a guitar player turned bass player. I’m just looking to optimize my bass pedals situation.

My signal runs from my Ibanez SDGR into a JHS Pulp n Peel V4 - Micro Qtron - Behringer Brassmaster fuzz - Keeley Monterey fuzz - Danelectro Billionaire CEO Tremolo - Boss chromatic tuner - Ampeg bass amp

If I am using the micro qtron, keeley fuzz, danelectro trem with a bass is it going to destroy them? I had these as a guitar player but I’ve been using them as bass pedals in my current band. Would switching these out for bass pedals impact the sound in a really noticeable way?

I’ve never had issues with the tremolo. However my band tried to record a song with us all using a considerable amount of gain/grit/fuzz and I had to fully max the Monterey fuzz to give it the extra boost it needed from the already activated Behringer Brassmaster fuzz other wise if it was lower than the absolute max the signal was just way too noticeably weaker/quieter.

I only ever use the Monterey after I have the Behringer Brassmaster fuzz on. Because the Brassmaster has a Bass Volume setting and allows you blend in however much you want of your natural bass signal, allowing you to kind forge your low end within the fuzz. I kind of use the brass master as a boost or for just something while my guitarist is taking a solo to add to the intensity. Kind of like the end of Know Your Enemy by RATM with how Tim Commerford utilizes the Marshall Jackhammer

However I will say the Monterey is extremely loud when played live. I like it because it really hits that Sabotage tone by the Beastie Boys and also the Around The World tone from the Chili Peppers pretty well, just absolutely gnarly. It’s also super cool with the vibe/rotary/touch wah effect option but they seem like they are dialed in for guitars as they never work quite right for my bass sound.

The micro Q tron is often a little too ‘poppy’ Or like snappy when I’m hitting my bass strings, so I don’t use it as much as I like.

Never had issues with the jhs, brassmaster, tuner, or the tremolo so I’m really just looking for other pedals/ advice on what to do with these other ones.

Also as a side note I’m looking for a pedal that may help achieving this bass tone. I think it may be a chorus of some type? It’s called Sleep Talk by Crumb: https://open.spotify.com/track/09qIqYnxDqRRQAMumUm6Ny?si=0kEZw2dQSc-X2KJpVJHuHg

Thank you all so much 😄
