what do you use?

#

do you use amps in the room or amp sims

vivid prawn
#

amp in my room i use a line 6 catalyst

#

i use an amp sim through a focusrite every once in a while but its really finicky and doesnt really do much so i hardly ever use it its also a pain in the ass to set up

plush depot
#

can we hear

vivid prawn
#

it might take a minute because i dont really have a good recording system atm but yeah hold on

#

the pick noise is bad no matter what pick or angle i use

#

i use a noise gate but for some reason the pick noise still comes through

plush depot
#

you're talking about like, in the amp, right?

vivid prawn
#

yeah

#

wait

#

the noise gate or the pick noise

plush depot
#

the pick noise

vivid prawn
#

yeah

plush depot
#

uhh

#

yeah.

#

when you pick

#

it's gonna make noise

#

you're using an object to pluck a string

vivid prawn
#

yeah but its making more noise than it should

#

or i might just be fucking dumb

#

idk at this point

plush depot
#

i'm gonna say something that sounds disrespectful

#

but i promise i'm not trying to be

#

but, it kinda just sounds like sloppy playing

vivid prawn
#

yeah thats fair

plush depot
#

like your picking and fretting aren't quite at the same time

#

perhaps try slowing down

#

and like practicing for sure that when you pick, you fret at the same time

#

and make sure things are in sync

vivid prawn
#

so would a metronome help with that?

plush depot
#

just.. slow down

#

and pay attention to your fretting and picking being in sync

vivid prawn
#

just as i pick

plush depot
#

well. tapping too i guess if your tapping is out of sync

#

but, no

#

when you fret the note

#

and pick

#

it should be at exactly the same time
