Case options for Hohner CX12?

Posted Fri, 11/12/2021 - 08:21 by UkuleleRob65

I may have seen some prior discussion about this. The plastic case that Hohner sells with its CX12 is a tad oversized. I.e., it'll fit not only the harmonica, but also a family of five. And their dog. continue reading...

Issues w Roland Micro Cube

Posted Sun, 09/26/2021 - 08:27 by AceVentura

Hello, all. Recently I changed the gain, tone and amp settings on my Micro Cube and now everything sounds the same. Regardless of whether I crank the tone or the gain all the way down or all the way up and regardless of what amp model I choose, all my recordings sound exactly the same, not bad, just without any change or effects. Turn off, then turn on and still no changes at all. Weird.

Does anyone have suggestions on this?

3.5mm mic jack into usb-c

Posted Sat, 09/25/2021 - 15:11 by AceVentura

Hello, all. I record all my sessions in order to gauge my progress. My current rig for recording at home is this: bulletini into a Rolandmicro cube; line out from the Roland into iMac's 3.5mm mic jack; record into garageband on my 2011 iMac. 

Ill be ditching my iMac in favor of a MacBook Pro once the new ones come out in October but I'm pretty sure they won't have a line-in for a 3.5mm mic jack As the inputs will likely be limited to usb-c, SD card, and hdmi. Any thought on how I can connect the Roland to the new MacBook? Thanks in advance.

New linux software for practicing scales on the harmonica

Hi

just released harp_scale_trainer a simple program to help practicing scales on a diatonic harmonica.

It is free and open source and runs under linux only ! (but wslg in Windows 11 will do).

harp_scale_trainer has two modes of operation:

'Listen' just listens to your playing, shows the note and tells you, if it is from the chosen scale.

'Quiz' plays random notes from the scale and asks you to play them back. continue reading...

I was looking for a small, portable harmonica case like the Horner Flexcase M, but without neoprene and it's accompanying smell. I also ideally wanted something with little to no branding. continue reading...

Volume knob fix with photos

Posted Thu, 06/24/2021 - 15:54 by Busterdog2020

OK so I know I posted this before but it has worked out so well that I am reposting with links to photos so you can see how groovy this is.

Recap: the volume know on my Jt30 was really bothering me so I would just lock it in full position but now thanks to some surgical tubing I can use the volume normally and it is complety out of the way.

He is the link to photos so you get a better idea oh and it looks good too.

Hope this helps somebody.
