How Loud do you practice?

[Indigo_blues]

yeah, usually nowadays i'll close all the windows and doors and just turn on the aircon to practice..not loud no kick lah.. :lol:

 

[Indigo_blues]

Quite Duh, but try sitting closer to your amp when you play? I think the bass amp might make your guitar sound flat, cus it doesn't generate the high freqs of a guitar amp. -- Don't know, just guessing.

actually the bass amp's pretty ok dealing with the highs as well cause i've compared it to that teeny yamaha monitor amp and they both sound pretty similar except maybe the yamaha sounds 'tighter' but more nasally cause its cone is so small.. yeah and usually i'm not more than 3 feet away from the amp when practicing..

slightly loud.. my friends came to my place one day and told me that he could hear me playing 10m away from my place when i close my living room door...

but of coz i will turn in down as night comes

 

[keiith]

then u must be a pro dude.. :wink:

 

[dace_diath]

hmmm, ok

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

becoz I'm using a MGR15CDR.. which is basically the crappiest marshall around (unless you're talking about the mircostack.. which I also have lol) a little trick I have is a Bass EQ. Okay no doubt the bass amp cleans up the sound, but the 7-band behringer that I have can really create some good tones whether clean or not.. suggesting this because you can boost a set of frequencies so that you sound won't be so 'thin'. And another thing.. are you using Distortion or Overdrive? normally dist sounds more dry.. overdrive more vintage sound etc etc unless I'm very much mistaken LOL.

 

[Crawldaddy]

hmm.

oops, but in response to what the topic of this thread is.. lol I play frickin loud. I'm a AC/DC fan.. how to not play loud?

my keyboard/bass playing has more or less reached that stage... no need to practice- just wack. :lol: But guitar.. still got some way to go, unless its just rhythm playing.

Nowadays i just practice at a comfortable level.. i use more reverbs/delay when practicing soloing so the sound is not so dry and 'yucks'.. haha.. for rhythm crunch sound(BD-2 - 12oclock) i switch all the effects off and only use a very short delay like an early reflection or something.. sounds nice.

I currently stay 7th floor, and when i play..downstairs the carpark can also hear me, but tat was last time..now i only on my volume knob to around 10'oclock and i have one neighbour that comes and ring my door bell but runs away after that..how lame is that!

 

[Indigo_blues]

nah, i just close all the windows and turn on the aircon.. then i can blast..

 

[Foo]

i practise in the living room, lol my parents won't allow me to whack at all. plus neighbours complain before.

the only time i play above normal is during jam sessions at studio or church 8O

 

[Guest]
