Using an amp-simulation pedal with a real guitar amp Indeed, going straight into the FX return is typically much better than using the guitar input. Not only because it avoids the preamp's sound shaping, the impedance and sensitivity also match better to a multi-fx's output. |

I have a song in my head, I know how it sounds, but I can't get it to translate well to DAW Why do you need it to line up with the measures? Musically, the best thing is to forget about the DAWs rasters and just record the music. |

Why do the notes of a blues scale sound good with the I, IV, and V chords? When mentioning the ᴠ to ɪ transition it must of course be emphasised that this transition is avoided at the perhaps most crucial point in the 12-bar, the ᴠ to ɪᴠ. |

What are the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of supporting the classical guitar? Are you sure you use the footrest correctly? The position is not great for everyone, but it's not inherently awkward to the spine. |

Glissando that ends on a flat With keyboard glissandi you'd associate the white-key sounds. On most other instruments, a glissando restricted to the C-major scale would be ridiculous. |

What is distinctive about the Hammond B3 organ? The tonewheels of a Hammond don't really produce sine waves, though all but the lowest are similar to sines. And the Leslie cab, while very widely used with Hammonds, is not universal; some players (for instance, Brian Auger) don't use one. |

Is it possible to create the illusion of a sub-harmonic? @luserdroog: "subharmonic difference tones happen with any chord" well, in a sense yes; but for chords played on "clean" instruments such as piano, acoustic guitar or an ensemble of melody instruments, the difference tones are just amplitude envelopes, which can not directly be perceived. Only when you apply distortion, they become actual sound vibrations. — Interesting analogy with the lizards, that's the poet's way of looking at it. Of course you can as well explain chords quite boringly by the fact that various harmonics of different strings fall on the same frequencies. |

What can I build into my guitar and use the “tone pots” buttons to adjust? Note that this individual pickup wiring with "backwards" pots, because it effectively shorts a pickup's output to ground when you turn its pot down, has quite a strong influence on the sound, again almost like a tone pot. Which can be a good thing (the softer sounds are automatically more mellow), but it's not everyone's taste. |

How do you strum an upstroke without striking an unwanted string? That kind of damping is definitely a legitimate helper. Still, you should avoid hitting the 6th string too strong in down-beats, as it can create some rumbling and takes the power for hitting the 5th string. |

How do you strum an upstroke without striking an unwanted string? @awe: 1. this is simply not true 2. even if you utilise "unclassical" right-hand-technique, it's still quite benefitial to play with a classically-oriented left hand, in particular if you also have your problems there as the OP seems to. |

How do you strum an upstroke without striking an unwanted string? Lots of guitarists to this, but from a classical point of view it's a rather horrible habit. |

Is there any way to find average of song's amplitude? There's plenty of free software levelling plugins about; many are capable of doing long-time average RMS measurements. |

What do I need to look for in a Y splitter for guitar? Signal wattage is not that relevant here, the problem with passive DIs is that they interact with the guitar pickups' high inductive impedance and can thereby alter the sound quite substantially. As for the "thru" jack – to be honest I haven't looked in many DIs, but I'm quite sure that it's also simply wired parallel on most models, so that would yield exactly the same result as a Y-cable. |

Turning off my monitors makes loud popping noise "not having some sort of impedance load connected to the amp's output can permanently damage the amp" good modern power amps normally have protection against all such issues. In particular, high load impedances (i.e. no speaker connected) are not an issue at all for FET amplifiers (in contrast to tube or bipolar-transistor class A amplifiers, both of which aren't to be found in any modern power amp except guitar amps and maybe designer HiFi nonsense). — But of course you're right to give a warning, I really don't think it would be a good idea to try this, though it is indeed possible. |
