Hi I just bought my first electric violin. I love metal , but I feel like a lot of distortion effects remove my dynamic range. Do you have any tips for that?

Great video, really great for someone delving deep like me. But I'm curious why you have use the mxr equaliser if you also have the LR Baggs preamp which has a 5 band eq?

I love the attack you get on the low strings. I’m sure your excellent technique plays a big role, but is there more to it? A particular bow? Another component in your equipment?

Disreguard detractors, the violin is free to evolve dispite what a small minority of devote pureists believe. Rock on.

If I'm using a pickup with an acoustic violin, is a tube amp still okay?

You pronounced the Ä in Wäldern correctly, but you mispronounced 'Vögel'. Ö is not the same letter as O, it's not pronounced as an o.

My friends and I are trying to start a punk band with me playing electric violin. i'm having a really hard time because i played for about 12 years, but i am used to symphony violin. do you have any tips on getting into trying different things to go with punk music if that makes sense? or improv? i may just need to practice more and get more comfy

I think for punk specifically it would be great to do some rhythmic chug style patterns which could be as simple as playing the root and 3rd or 3rd and 5th of the chords as 16th or 8th notes. You could also experiment with more of a bluegrass chop style.... if you want to get fancy you should really check out Earl Maneein. I took a lesson with him once and he's a genius - check out this technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX7bfKKNfp1pm68&ab_channel=TracySilverman

Thanks for the great and very useful presentation! I have a Vector Violin that sounds good. Which amp do you recommend to play with a pedalboard classical, jazz, and rock with distortion. Roland AC 60, fender junior blues, mesa boogie studio 22+, fishman loudbox artist, ...?
3 жыл бұрын
I'd say you can't go wrong with the fender blues junior for most situations - the mesa for when you want to be scorching loud. I find tube amps to be amazing for electric violin, I don't love the fishman loudbox.

May I use an EQ pedal instead of a preamp, I mean, does it work as a preamp?
3 жыл бұрын
As this electric violin pick up is passive - as most are - and it doesn't have a preamp either a preamp in the chain is ideal if you're going into a PA or in my situation I'm using a tube amp...... if you're looking for a good preamp, I like the L.R Baggs ones. It actually has some EQ settings on it too.

Found you and your band through this run down. Awesome stuff! I love my Zoia, though it can be tricky at times. Would definitely be interested in maybe not a full run down (as you said, it would take ages) but a selection of patches you've made or others have made that you find useful for your needs. Subbed!

Nice stuff. Do you notice a lag with the pitch fork? I've got a love/hate relationship with a little pog that lag's a hair's breadth in addition to outputting that really digitized sound. Maybe the new ones are better, idk. mm

I do not notice a lag with the pitchfork. However, the way that you are describing the pog reminds me that I felt similar about the new-ish memory boy, I did not love the digitized sound!

Hey Laura, when ever I play with electric violinists, I find it difficult because you can't feel it in your chest like you do with an acoustic. What is your recommendation for getting that thump if you're not playing rock or metal?
3 жыл бұрын
I understand what you mean, I'm not sure if I can help because I tend to compensate by playing so loud that I can feel the hairs on my legs vibrate 😅 BUT I do run through sets playing the electric violin with no amplification so that I can feel/get comfortable with the very limited vibrations it puts out. In an ideal performance scenario, I use in-ear monitors and I have the mix engineer pan the violin sound to my left ear so that it mimics the experience of hearing/feeling my acoustic violin.

You have an amazing sound. I discovered Volur from your first rig rundown video when I was researching the idea of adapting my guitar rig for violin. I’ve always wanted to hear a competent violinist playing through any of the six guitar rigs I’ve built.

@ Would it be possible for you to send some dry tracks that I could re-amp? The rigs I built were rack rigs for local musicians that I’ve lost contact with over the years. I’m now down to a Fryette GPDI preamp, Eventide H9 & a Mesa/Boogie power amp. I’d just love to hear how the GPDI overdrive colors the violin.
