I don't know if this is for me, but it's certainly interesting:

i really like trem pedals on bass. cannot always get one that works well.
this one seems nice. same company does the waterfall chorus/vibrato pedal, i think. that one has gotten very good reviews.
it's funny that he doesn't seem to like the effect for bass—maybe he's just unaware that chris squire used tremolo on some early yes stuff (probably using a fender head with trem in it).

The bass face is strong with that one demo-er.
I really like the sound of this pedal. Thanks for sharing it!
So I went a dug out an interrupt pedal a friend made for me with a telegraph key. I also am really enjoying having the Blooper and the Cosmos on tap. And you can also see the makeshift shelving structure I'm using to get the pedals up near my hands for now.

Great Music you folks are posting !
I need help...
I know Reaper is great and all, but I simply don't have the time to learn all its nooks and crannies (I've spent HOURS today just trying to figure out how to get it to record the drum track I made in Superior Drummer). I need something more user friendly, and if it doesn't have every single professional bell and whistle that's fine. Pretty much all I need from the DAW is to work easily with my interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2) and Superior Drummer 3. I don't mind paying for it if it's going to do what I need. Also I'm on PC.
Help!

Kept arguing with myself about the Source Audio Ultrawave. Great pedal, but my workflow and physical setup just isn't amenable to using computer or phone to edit. Trying different options in my effects cabinet, I kept coming back to the Darkglass B3k but it wasn't versatile enough. Also, ideally wanted MIDI control. Enter the ADAM.
The ADAM doesn't do nearly as much as the Ultrawave, but a lot of the wilder territory, I can get into with the Zoia. And the usual array of dirt options, the ADAM does them so well.
This is all MIDI controlled from either the MS3 or the Zoia. Basically, doing all the program changes from the MS3, so that simple Aux pedal in the top left just scrolls up and down through each song, recalling patches on the MS3, Zoia, ADAM, and SY-200 simultaneously via program change. Using MS3 for expression and tap tempo control changes. Using the Zoia for any more complex ccs. SY-200 is in a 'loop' of the Zoia.

Every DAW will have a learning curve. None are fun to learn.
Just bite the bullet and do it. There are tons of tutorials on Youtube for Reaper.
No need to learn all the features on a DAW to work, still learning crap on Live and I’ve been using it for over 15 years.
This is great wisdom. Took me a long time to learn.
@lucas303 -- I don't use Reaper but I am betting one of two things need to happen:
1. either there is a setting to tick so that when you hit record on a MIDI instrument track, it records as audio rather than MIDI or
2. You have to route the output of the MIDI instrument track to an audio track, and record onto that track (seems to be the best way to do it in Bitwig).
@scott sinner -- this is what happened to me with Source Audio. I didn't like the way iOS worked, and didn't want to have to edit on a computer. I no longer own any of their stuff, which is sad, because in other ways it's brilliant. I'm not opposed to outside devices--love my Eventide H9, but they really worked out a good system, and the pedal is actually easier to edit on than they get credit for.
You're probably right. I'm sitting down with a Reaper basics video this morning and I'm just going to grit my teeth and learn the damn thing starting at the beginning like I should've done in the first place (though it will obviously take me longer than just this morning).
The challenge with Reaper is there are literally multiple ways to 'record the drum track I made in Superior Drummer,' depending on what you really want to do. For me, for example, what I sometimes want to do is record the audio from the midi programmed drum track (with BFD3 not Superior Drummer but the Reaper aspects are the same). In Reaper this isn't called 'recording' but 'freezing' probably best to do as a multitrack see
ime, you don’t need to learn everything, just a few basics that you need to create music. that will lead you into other areas that are useful.
Getting closer to getting a new Mac and realizing that I might need/want to upgrade from Live 10 to 11, particularly since 11 has compatibility with the new Apple chips.
Yum.
Moved another pedal yesterday. Probably need to clear out a couple more and a few modules. It feels weird to sell something I’ve had a while even though I never use it.
