Good luck! Try and bend it with your fingers once it's softened a bit, or maybe even tear it into strips/shreds, if you're worried about a choking hazard.

@Billkwando I'll let you know!

It didn't work. On to something else. Thanks for the video.

@@charlottegareau972 Maybe try soaking it in warm water? Or boiling it.

I tried steaming it. Nope. I'll try the boil and soak, too. So expensive for this product. Think it's time to learn how to make my own.

Yes indeed! I played it regularly at the local arcade and got pretty good at head to head, then went to the beach and played it on the boardwalk.....got destroyed by a life guard who was in there every day. Wasted like 5 bucks! (pile of quarters on the floor of the cockpit) 🤣🤣🤣

Noooooope! I don't know why it's there, but you can live without it! :)

@@Billkwando what a relief!

@@ogholiday You only need it in the springtime. 😜😜😜

@@Billkwando haha!

Sounds like they finally started making them bigger so the bushings don't die in a day and a half. Were you able to get your bar in ok?

It's pretty easy, so I bet it'll be one day soon! :) It's super fun.

@@Billkwando And I just bought a PS4 this year!! 🤘🏽

@@indiekid81 You need PC version to play custom content but you can, ahem, _find_ it around. Then you just need the fix from customsforge.com to play homemade DLC (which all of my songs/videos are...I made them) and then you can download all the CDLC you want, and use the same cable as the PS4 version.

@@Billkwando Cool. Thanks!

Maybe it needs to be a longer sample, or maybe it needs to be edited more closely at the beginning and/or end (just trying to think of everything). If it's too long or too short to really get your fingers under, you could try speeding up or slowing down the actual audio file, by half, which would give you more or less length to play with, depending on what it's doing. If that makes any sense! Also, sometimes you really have to just barely flick the wheel.

@@Billkwando Great tip! Thanks man!

@@ASoundMindDJ Happy to help! 😁

Yes it is. You can find her on YT under the name Boe Huntress. Here's a favorite: Slo by Boe Huntress: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3i8gXeHnbKKrKc After this, she achieved minor internet celebrity doing a series of musical game reviews for The Escapist website. She has a Bandcamp page too.

@@Billkwando Thank you so much for the help.

@@Nintendude. Sure! She's awesome, so I'm happy to help folks find her.

Thanks! Awesome! What's different about the blue one? Less hacks? Ninja Masters and Waku Waku 7?? (yeah right, lol) 🤪🤪🤪

Yep, I moved on to Traktor and the original NuMark mix controller, but for something thrown together with a plugin and a wheel, you can get some cool effects with it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIS5q3aLqcaAms0si=RFnlfjNH_tTG0HUH&t=1127 Or at least I think so, and the video has 200 likes, so clearly I'm not the only one.

@@Billkwando Hi, Bill! I hope you are doing wonderfully. Thank you for replying and I intend to check out your tips - from what I saw, the link points to a person fixing a lamp that is the ship from the Star Trek series. Scratching is not just the result of moving the record without knowing what you are doing and opening the fader minimally within the rhythm of something. Usually, those who know how to scratch try to produce percussive or melodic patterns like a rapper tries to do with lyrics and rhymes. DMC Finals ''88 - the dutch guy, the sweden guy, the french guy and Cash Money. Building a patch for this requires much more than just putting a version of a sound into a sampler and using the modulation wheel or pitch wheel. This is a reasonable amount of work, if you understand the dynamics of movements reduced to "back and forth" (like playing a guitar) and the result caused by "zero momentum" and the variation in speed that this causes, like throwing an object 3 meters above your head (it gradually loses speed until "zero momentum" and gradually accelerates back in the opposite direction). Incorporating this basis into all the possibilities of "opening and closing" the fader and shaking your fingers for quarter notes and half notes (and etc.) on the vinyl and on the fader is not an easy task...

@@marceloribeirosimoes8959 The link is mine, and I time stamped it so the music in the credits would play. Which features the technique. I understand everything you're saying, and you're welcome to create it. This pitch wheel video is just a quick and dirty way for someone without the equipment to semi-approximate a scratching sound if they need one for a project, that's all.

1:12 "and cooked it for about a minute". Your attention span can't survive the length of a 2 minute video to internalize the info? I didn't mention heat levels because I didn't change the power setting from the default. It's not rocket surgery.

@@Billkwando ok thx, other articles also mention 1min on high but how is that enough to evaporate some water and into the jerky? might as well just splash some water on the microwave tray rather than put it in container

@@ARCSTREAMS It's weird to criticize something that you clearly haven't tried, simply because you can't imagine it working. Have you even looked at the comments? It wouldn't have 500 likes if it was crappy advice. I said start out with a minute but feel free to experiment. Have you ever used a microwave before? It takes no time to melt butter, so water in a sealed container becomes hot steam in seconds. If that's too hard for you, maybe you can try blow torching your jerky, or use it as bait. 😜😜😜

@@Billkwando you seem to be very defensive and reacting childishly as if my comment somehow insulted you in any way rather than it being nothing more than inquisitive on the subject as if i can't ask questions, thankfully majority of youtubers do not react like you but are professional and nice with there interactions,, bye bye

@@ARCSTREAMS No, I called you out on the fact that you're asking questions answered in the video, and because you had to have the last word, you continued to argue a hypothetical in the face of tons of comments saying "Thanks, it works!". "But I was just asking questions!" So now I'm the big mean youtuber because you don't listen when you hit play on a video.

You have to point your hands & head downward. :)

I'm just glad the download still works! What version of DTXMania are you using?

Why not? Nobody uses the tone pot anyway, and if it's a strat, you can just wire it for a single tone knob. I just put a killswitch in a Glarry 2 humbucker guitar. I put the killswitch where the volume pot was, and then just drilled a new hole and put the volume pot between the button and the tone. imgur.com/gallery/glarrygst-e-with-sanwa-killswitch-VTAZAAs

Check both the arm holder and the trem block. I forgot to mention that I did shave the trem cavity at an angle, with the dremel stone bit. Basically the part that the block would run into when pulling. I pulled the trem out, and in the big 0 shaped hole, I just contoured the wall of wood that's parallel to the block, so the bottom of the block wasn't touching when I pulled. Also make sure it's not getting hooked under the pickguard, if you have one. The foam under the springs may be covering it up, but basically right at the edge of where the foam ends, that's there I angled it. A lot of guitars have a concave notch cut out where that corner of wood is (some Kramers and Jacksons, I think). Let me know if you still can't figure it out.

Or, in case of a planetary/colonial evacuation, this shuttle bay could hold thousands of refugees no problem. In truth, it's the only explanation for a ship that could very easily accommodate a crew of 10000 only having crew of 1000.

Few things are more enthralling than a big parking lot in space!! 🤪🤪🤪

Who wants stick twist in a flying game?? It has a yaw rocker. First thing I did when I got my VKB Gladiator was lock down the rotation.

Each end on the jack, one to one. Doesn't matter which one from the switch goes to which one on the jack, as long as it's one of each. You can test it (I use a battery guitar amp on my bench) before putting everything back together.

@@Billkwando Thanks a lot! I got my own Sanwa button installed on my guitar too! >u<

@@WintermintP Awesome!!! 😁

12 is fine, I just didn't need 2 wheels and I had a gift card and nothing else to spend it on, so I got the 13

Glad it worked out! 😁

I'm sure it *could* be done, but it's gonna be tough. I played King of Fighters with nothing but headphones once, and won blind, so anything is possible. Remind me this weekend and I'll try and make a video so you can see what *should* be on the screen, maybe you can fumble your way through.

You'll probably need a midi interface. They're like $20 on Amazon.

@@Billkwando Awesome!! Excited to fumble around. Thanks for taking the time!

@@TimHCarmack I didn't forget about you. Still trying to get to it. :)

@@Billkwando no worries take your time! Still excited!

Nah I'm still here. 😁

I may not have explained it well because I'm coming from a guitar perspective and maybe assuming everyone knows (I haven't rewatched the video), but what you're looking for is for the 12th fret to match the open string on the tuner, across the strings. You move it so that the highest and lowest strings are intonated correctly, and if the bridge is well made, the rest will take care of itself. If the note is flat, move the bridge forward (Remember flat=forward), and if it's sharp you move it back. You want to keep rechecking the high and low strings since naturally moving one end of the bridge may move the other end, somewhat. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!!! 😁

I'm guessing the batteries may contact the side, causing a short and not light up? That or it works the same. I got the impression the sleeve might be there just to corral the batteries together so they don't slide around or get flipped backwards as you're loading them in there. If you're really curious I can go find mine and try it. LOL

Thank you!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I have some other L'Arc guitar videos too, if you'd like to check them out. I'm particularly fond of Link, Hitomi no Jyuunin (guitar pick magic trick, lol), and Fate (fastest pickup switch in the West, lol). 😁 kzbin.info/aero/PLa2pARIPC9cP9SnMHxyUL8GrY816gtsWP

It really is a nightmare. I had to wait for someone else to come over and be the extra pair of hands, or else I don't think I could have done it.

If you have a choice, connect with RCA cables/headphone jack, rather than HDMI, so it's analog rather than digital. I'd turn off venue mode and any of the extra graphical crap you don't need.

@@Billkwando I'm on PC so my choices are a audio interface, mic, or messing with the settings pretty much. I'll try shutting off the venue. Thanks man! Didn't expect a comment back after all those years. I also set the audio engine to maximum and it's bearable for now.

@@icaroson Yep, I'm still here! 😁I'm on PC also! So the question is, how do you hear the game, or are you using laptop speakers?

@@icaroson Also did you see the couple tips at the end of the video?

Pound it like crazy, as fast as you can, and hope for the best. At least that's how I remember it. It's been like 20 years. You playing it on Steam?

I don't know what you're talking about. In the video I explained that the Moza extenders are metal, and the Simpush ones are flimsy plastic with little adhesive pads that look like they would fall right off. I didn't need extenders so I sold the Moza 12" wheel that came with the nice screw-on metal ones, and threw the shitty plastic ones in a drawer. If Simpush is selling metal ones now, they should screw through the existing hole in the paddles and then connect to the metal extender on the other side of the paddle.

@Billkwando Yes I saw the Moza ones, they are screw on but aren't available in my country. Simpush make metal ones too but they aren't extenders, you have to replace the original paddles and I've never done that before, just wanting to know if it's easy or how to do it.

@@brodylockwood14 No idea, sorry.

Well, I love them both, but when I play "KK" (LA-85KK) it's almost always the stock humbucker. I kinda just put the Van Zandts in because I clearly can't leave anything alone (yesterday I scalloped frets 21-24 on my Ibanez RG, like a Vai). Honestly the Van Zandts have basically never been used because I don't know what Ken uses them for. LOL You see, I have always played the Ken guitars primarily in Rocksmith, for the L'Arc songs I've made (see my videos here on the channel) so if I'm playing anything before Ark and Ray, I play KK (which I love and have great sentimental attachment to...she's so pretty!). If I'm playing anything after, from Ark on, I use the Love Driver. The only exception is Driver's High, which needs 24 frets (and even then I use the humbucker) and some of the super crunchy stuff like Trick that he uses the flying V on. I do love the Fender pickups (I installed them, of course), and the Love Driver is probably my favorite all-around guitar. I have 2 Satriani models that I adore, but the LD-95KK is the only strat I own/play (not counting the purple one, which was my late wife's first beginner guitar). The Fender pickups sound great and have gotten used a lot. I would put that Love Driver up against any official vintage strat. If I was going to go play in a bar band, the Love Driver would be there. It's a classic.

Here's Fate, with the Love Driver: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXXGf3yHat2aj9ksi=iWMa8eVhQUZD5SCV and here's Vivid Colors, with KK: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXW0dXp_arKZhcksi=vzdxO_Vy2RpwvVLU 😍

The simpush stickers all looked stupid, they were clearly made for a different Moza wheel (a bunch of rotary stickers, mainly). I don't have any Moza stickers I'm aware of, and if I did and didn't use them, it's because they looked dumb/out of place. I sent the simpush stickers to the cool guy who bought my 12" Moza wheel. I kept the simpush, bought a 2nd ES wheel, and now I have the 10" for arcade games like Daytona and Outrun, and I have the 13" for sims. I can just pop one off and put the other on, and if one of them ever breaks (electronically) at least I have a 2nd one.

Thanks! It was cheaper than buying a LA Custom-KK! 🤪🤪🤪

worse comes to worse you can always put some square c clamps on there and clamp it down.

only in the back. I think the GT Omega rig was drilled with the Moza in mind.
