Hi,

Not sure if I am in the correct forum or not. I seem to remember a recording of Backing software but cannot find it. 

Is there any experience of using iRealPro as a backing music tool or is there a better solution for Harmonica players? Secondly, is there a search tab for this excellent website that I maybe missing?

Thanks

I recently switched from a wired USB phone headset to a wireless headset for recording, and when playing back noticed I was consistenty a fraction of a second late on the beat. Now, I still sometimes struggle to stay on beat with quick passages and partial triplets, but not this badly; so I went back to the wired headset and had no delay. Anyone else encounter this? Is there a fix? I record using Audacity on Windows 10. 

Thanks,John

I have used Audacity very successfully for a number of years but am now experiencing problems on a new computer. (No issue with RAM) When recording on Audacity the program experiences intermitant freezes. Stops goes silient then continues until it happens again. BTW my old computer with Audacity 3.2.2 on does not experience any problems. Done all the usual things to rectify like updates and drivers. Spent a lot of time on the Audacity forum looking for sullutions without success. There seem to be a lot of other users experiencing similar issue and not resolving them. continue reading...

Just started playing harmonica and new to the site. Any thoughts on using a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for harmonica?

Anyone else tried one of these? I was intrigued, so just got one (from Rockin' Ron's Music) the other day. It's a fun addition to my collection of home grown tin cans (including an "official" Ortega Chili can just like the one Joe Filisko uses!). continue reading...

Good morning,

I'm a beginner and would like to buy an Harmonica in the key of A. I'd like a plastic comb and I'm reading that a Rocket might be "better" than a Special 20.

My question : Would the Rocket be a better harmonica to start practicing than a special 20 ?

Thank you

What's a good mic to plug into my MacBook? Thanks,

Looks as if Hohner is marketing a new harp with images of the Beatles on the top cover plate, with nice Beatles images on the box. From the promotional photos, description on Rockin' Ron's website and the price there, I understand it uses Hohner's MS platform, made in Germany. And only in C. It's not something I'd add to my working harps, but might make a fun gift for someone. In the meantime, three things: continue reading...

Hello all,

Looking for a quick/easy way to power an old organ cabinet with a beautiful 1959 jensen 12".  That is, are their any quick plug and play pedal like options out there?

Thanks

Hi everyone, I want to switch out the tubes on a 59 reissue bassman just like David describes in one his videos about amps. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can buy the tubes I need? Thanks!
