After singing nursery rhymes (and also other favorite songs) to two babies, I found out my ear had improved, so you can try practicing that :-)

Cheap solution: why don't you use one of the amps as a mixer? Rumble 25 has an aux-in that accepts line level, so you can connect there the headphone output of the Behringer amp (turn that a bit down, as it can be a hot signal). Then take the headphone output of the Rumble and pass it through a...

I've only used it for backup and the resulting file is sysex, which this thread says has a different format between pedals: Patch backup / sharing for Zoom pedals: MS60B, MS70CDR, B1on, B1Xon, B3, G5 etc If you knew the sysex format Zoom uses for B3n, that editor/export-to-text might become...

Have you experimented with [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]? This is a patch librarian that works for some Zoom multieffects (it says G3/G3X/G1on/G1Xon/B1on/B1Xon and I can confirm it works for B1Xon). Maybe the B3n protocol is similar...

Maybe you'll have better luck installing Ubuntu and then adding the KXStudio repos in the package manager? That's what I did, since the machine already had Ubuntu installed...

I've been using KXStudio for about a year -- have been using Linux for audio for years, this has been one of the best distros I've used. My "Multimedia" menu is also populated like Bugeyed Earl's. Running on a five-year-old Thinkpad with on-board soundcard. I'm using it as an effects machine or...

My two practice headphone amps: Zoom B1Xon: small, lots of effects including amp sims, has AUX in (for playing over music), drum loops, tuner, looper. There's also B1on which is even smaller/cheaper, it only lacks the expression pedal. Joyo JA-03: tiny, contains distortion effect, AUX in, no...

Right, you can do it the other way around (have the B3 mix everything, not the PC) and get rid of latency problems! The PC way is useful when recording, but the OP doesn't need that...

You can go through the laptop by connecting B3 to it and then play while listening to YouTube (essentially the laptop becomes the mixer -- you might have to adjust something from the sound mixer program in Windows). You can connect the B3 as a USB audio interface or just plug its output to the...

Something like that (with some adapters)? Invalid Link Removed

The Ed Friedland bass method (if that's the book the OP mentions) starts with 1-2-4 but then becomes hybrid, e.g quote from the start of book 3: "Start on the 4th finger using the 1-2-4 fingering system, but switch to one-finger-per-fret (OFPF) in measure 3."

I would also be interested. I've been studying traditional West African music for the last two years and playing polyrhythmic dundun stuff on the bass is lots of fun.

The harpsichord. I once had the misfortune of attending a 30min solo piece...

My SO likes dancing and I could expand the rhythms I know, so we've been playing percussion in drum circles (including a teacher) for two years. It's an outdoor activity together, with the occasional gig, and it's not demanding (pick easy pieces and don't practice that much). An important point...
