@@AldrinCaaya I’m struggling to remember the day that I recorded this, but I must have and if so it would’ve been a Scarlett 18i20.

@@booknoahgrove can you remember the DAW that you used? I'm planning to change my software. Tc products don't record well on bandlab.

@@AldrinCaaya yeah it was Logic

@@dwstoeckel4740 🤘🙏🎶

I did listen again, w some headphones, sounds great! Nice strings effect.. hey, is there any way to get your guitar in the video? I always like to see how things are played..

@@dwstoeckel4740 thanks man, yeah I’ll work on a better camera layout that shows what I’m playing

@@dwstoeckel4740 thank you 🙏

will do bro, thanks, blessings

@@ByCoreyLaury For sure. Sounds like you need a mixer, not an H6. What are you trying to do?

@@booknoahgrove appreciate the quick response man, I am trying to record a show that i will be performing at, i will be on keys and vocals, another player will be using his key bass and keyboard out of one amp, and I'll have a drummer, i want to record the audio in fl studio to mix it down and after the show

@@ByCoreyLaury nice, a mixer is what you need to get the sounds to the PA, this H6 is for recording and it can also function as an audio interface for a computer. If you want to individually track each instrument AND send them to a PA, the Zoom H6 isn’t necessarily the solution, although if you had a mixer with 4 auxiliary outs and you were just trying to record 4 inputs, it could work. QSC touchmixes could do what you need and Behringer XR18 could do it paired with a laptop and a DAW

@@Drisbine I didn’t see any way to do that within Keyscape. I’ve done it through my DAW before but I wanted the sound coming direct from Keyscape not through Logic.

@@booknoahgrove it is done on the midi controller itself where the pedal is connected to. yamaha and casio have this implemented in most of their keyboards. all you do is 1. turn the controller off 2. press the sustain pedal 3. switch the controller on while holding the "function" button on your controller. Both, Yamaha and Casio have something like that. Sometimes the button is called differently, just try to find the right one. Or you don't need to press the button at all (if it's a simpler model). On NI Kontrol, there is a setting in the Kontrol app, which is very convenient. I also have a controller that does not have any setting at all. I sent an email to the manufacturer hoping they will release this option in form of a firmware update. Here's to hoping 🙏

@@jimmydenny168 hey Jimmy, sorry for the delay. Yes. There’s quite a bit going on here. There are some pretty skilled players around. I’m not personally aware of a good pedal steel player but I’m sure someone is here. It’s not a bad place to do music full time. Lots of private events in Charleston. More right after the pandemic but still there. It happens to be a major wedding destination, #2 in the US so they say, and lots of companies do their corporate meetings/events in Charleston. Also there are a handful of other cities within driving distance. Hilton Head, Beaufort, Columbia, Savannah, even north to Myrtle Beach and Greenville, sometimes further south than Savannah. All these places produce private event opportunities.

@@dwstoeckel4740 thanks for stopping by DW, gonna be playing/streaming a lot! Have a good day man 🤘 ☕️ 🎶

I will be making a resurgence before long! Glad you enjoyed the song :-). Thanks for stopping by

@@booknoahgrove That’s good to hear ! I always enjoy your content…😎👊🏻

thanks Zac

Hey Marc, thanks man, appreciate the compliment on my voice. Glad this information was useful to you. I wish I included an actual demo of the pedal too! I'll say, if you're planning to gig with it, the Perform VG is awesome. It's so nice even just to have your mix control mounted on your mic stand. Less set up and tear down. One less thing to carry. The ease of use and compact controls... I think it's just an awesome unit. I lost mine recently. Accidentally left the mic stand at a gig with the VG and mic still in it. Sad day.

​​​​@@booknoahgrove​ Oh no! So sorry you lost it, Noah. That sucks, especially after all the hard work you put in making this very helpful video. Plus how much you really like it. Sorry man. 😔 Yw for the praise. Very deserving. And yeah I do think it's cool how it attaches to the mic stand. However, not sure how that's gonna work for me. I'm a keyboardist so I plan on using it with my Yamaha. And when I set up the mic, the base of the stand is to the left of my keyboard, and the boom part goes horizontally across the lower half of the keys, so the mic can be right in front of me. (It makes sort of an upside down L if you can picture that.) Anyway, that means if the VG is attached to my mic stand, it'll be off to the left because attaching it to the boom portion would have it hanging down over my keys. But ur suggestion about buying the 6 button foot switch may be the way that I have to go. And that's not such a bad thing because I was thinking of buying one to turn the pages on my tablet as I play. So I probably would've needed the switch anyway. Thanks again! 🎹🥳

@@marcweissman5752 just seeing this response. I must’ve missed the notification. Sorry for that. Thanks again. Yeah it was a bummer, but I looked at the positive side. I grew to rely on the Perform VG to fill out parts of songs and lift the energy. Losing it made me strengthen my vocals. Like yesterday, I accidentally left my harmonica at home and I rely significantly on the harmonica for instrumental portions of songs and to create strong positive ambience. I would prefer to have the harmonica because I know what I can do with it, but the surprise of not having it is a challenge that forces me to improve in other ways that make me better. I used to Velcro the Perform VG on a keyboard for a looping setup I had. But if there is a way to mount it on a mic stand I liked that best because it reduced set up and tear down by quite a few steps every night. The Boss VE-2 is solid and the dual method of calculating harmonies does seem to make for more accurate results, but I found that I preferred having a few mistakes if that meant I didn’t have to reach down and change the key setting between every song and delay my engagement with the audience repeatedly even if brief. I’ve now bought a used TC Voicelive Rack that I’m using for a looping setup and am very happy with it. I do my solo acoustic gigs without a harmonizer for now, but I’ve been very tempted to buy another Perform VG. Lastly, if you ended up getting a Perform VG and you want/need the Switch 6, I have one I could sell and ship to you. If you’re interested let me know. I’m sure I can offer a decent price and it’s in great shape.

@@booknoahgrove Oh wow! Tx u so much for the response and the Switch 6 offer, Noah. No worries about the delayed reply. I understand. And I just might take you up on the Switch 6 offer. I did order the Perform VG from Guitar Center, but it was on back order until November, so it hasn't shipped yet. But once it does, I'm going to try it out with my keyboard. From what I've read on various sites, the VG works well with a keyboard as well as a guitar, but I wanna make sure obviously. The VK was on back order until January which is another reason why I went with the VG first. So if the VG ends up not working out, I can always return it and order the VK in January. We shall see. In the meantime, if you could please hang on to the Switch 6 while I figure out which one I will use, that would be great. I would definitely consider buying it from you once I'm sure which Perform harmonizer to go with, Tx u so much again for the offer! Really appreciate it.

@@marcweissman5752 sure thing, I’ll have it here, just let me know! Best wishes.

should be able to, anything that runs sound through a 1/4 inch instrument cable should work

they are charming fellas, and they make some great music!

I don’t think so, pretty sure just to the guitar

Thanks man. I’m still using this unit for all my gigs and don’t see why I’d switch. It’s an incredible value. Time and space saver.

thanks Zac, and thanks for listening

I would go into your VE-2 first or early in the chain. I would want my VE-2 to have a nice strong signal/level from the guitar. But if you’re throwing heavy distortion or something like that might make it harder for VE-2 to evaluate what chords you’re playing. What’s your pedal chain?

@@booknoahgrove It’s actually pretty simple. An Acoustic Guitar and a MVave Cube Baby with IRs.

@@carlodeluca I might go after the Cube Baby. VE-2 is going to work best with clean and clear levels from your guitar.

@@carlodeluca a little bit of delay and/or reverb shouldn't be a problem, but I'd suggest playing around with it and seeing what results you get with your settings

@@booknoahgrove After? It wouldn’t be cleaner before the effects? Although I know that the VE2 would bypass the guitar, I have an impression that it would affect the sound. I will buy my VE2 tomorrow.

thanks DW!

If you can record videos, then you can do it!

@@booknoahgrove cool

The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra! thank you!

In China, masks are very common. Lots of people wore masks before COVID to protect themselves against air pollution. I wear it sometimes in China for a number of reasons. It helps keep your face warm when it’s cold outside. It protects against air pollution and especially if I’m going to be in smushed seas of people in the subways or Beijing it really does make it less likely to get sick in general. And it helps obscure my face and blend in. I get tired of having people stare at me or want to talk to me because I’m not Chinese. Just want to go about my day like everyone else sometimes. Masks were a very interesting social issue. I’ve got a lot of thoughts about them.

I haven't tried but I just looked at the video settings options and it didn't look an option

thanks Tracey :-)

thanks Nik :-)

I think you might be right, I saw some moving lights when I had it muted at a gig the other day, was probably the tuner, if so that's awesome

that's a great compliment indeed, appreciate it DW, thanks man, glad to hear it

Ya know, Quebec City would've been an absolutely awesome place to busk. I don't know what the busking regulations are there but if we ever go back I'll bring a guitar. No plans to busk here in China. I'm guessing it's not permitted as there is no one doing it. Last time here I did get a four times a week gig.

@@booknoahgrove sweet! Have a great time…

thanks man!@@dwstoeckel4740

Thanks Eddie

I think you’re right

thank you DW :-) thanks for listening

I used it all the time just not in the video as it's a review not a demo. But I made this video a few years ago and I'm sure to include demos now when I make videos like this.
