Nov 17	comment	Practicing drums with metronome and not hearing it's tick Well, what happens when you just turn the metronome so loud that you can always hear it? (ie. with closed headphones)

Oct 13	comment	Why does my piano keyboard sound dull? And what do you mean by 'dull' – to little dynamic response, too muffled sound / too little treble frequencies, too short sustain, too little resonances... ?

Oct 10	comment	What are the disadvantages of buying a short-scale bass guitar @JarrodRoberson: in practice yes, indeed; however not in principle. That's also a matter of not just scale but as well string gauge and -height. A shortscale bass with fat flatwound strings one inch above the fretboard can easily compete with ordinary longscale basses in the low end – nowhere else, though...

Sep 24	comment	Violin strings breaking in fingerboard area @Lilitu88: it's useful to adress comments to users so they are notified, like this. – If you haven't tried any other string brand, that's the first thing to do. I personally was never happy with any strings by d'Addario when I tried them, but for reasons of sounds rather than longevity; and I'm not a violinist, so this is not really significant here. Still, try it! — I really doubt it has to do with too much playing-pressure, unless you have steel hands... it's more likely to have to do with your violin.
Sep 24	comment	Realistic Virtual Piano Are you sure you want to go on with Garageband at all? It's not really a professional program. I'd recommend Reaper – which supports VST, but even that won't let you install Windows files directly on a mac.
Sep 24	comment	Realistic Virtual Piano Personally, I quite like the free Tascam CVPiano. It has a slight tendency to over-pollute the bass range with damper sounds, but is very expressive when played in continuous mode. But it's VST only, I think you can't use these in Garageband?
Sep 21	comment	Does the protools hardware make a difference? You're right about Pro Tools, he doesn't necessarily need that — there are many other good DAWs about. But he does need good hardware, there's no way to get a really good sound when recording through a consumer sound card.
Sep 21	comment	Violin strings breaking in fingerboard area What kind of strings is it you're playing? Which one of them usually breaks first?
