  1. Back in the day when I was first starting out ( in the mid 60 's ) I had The Harmony Broadway variation of what you have there .

    That lasted until I tried to play Black Sabbath and The Who on it 🤣

    Nice guitar you have there , when you fix them up they are nice conversation pieces   . Even when they are dialed in they can still be a challenge to play ...the intonation can be dialed in ...you may have to tilt the bridge a little to where it has a slant to it ...the strings that are sharp will need the bridge tilted towards the tail piece ...

    On those type of bridges if you decide to eventually get one with adjustment capabilities the only real fitting you may have to to is carve the bottom section of the bridge to match your guitars top ....the tighter the seal the bigger the sound   .

    String wise you may find Silk And Steel strings to have less tension on the neck ...and a better feel YMMV .

    If you are used to playing a Martin or something along those lines playing an acoustic arch top can be a big adjustment ...different sound all together.

    Back in the day Banjo was the thing with Big bands ...To really appreciate how  a guitar from  way back then sounded in context  , listen to some Eddie Lang  or any of the  other prominent  musicians from back in the 20's and 30's ......

    Those guitars sound nothing like a Martin or a Gibson but in the right hands man they can sound pretty sweet ...Also they were cutting to disk so somehow they fit in the mix  ..

    Here's some examples ...the second tune features a wonderful player playing solo ...easy to tell how much different the sounds is from what most folks are used to .

     

    Enjoy now you got me wanting to crack out a few of my Acoustic Arch tops

    Musicians think they have an edge now in selling online. It's really a disadvantage because no one knows who you are or cares. If you don't play out or get some kind of exposure or have some kind of a memorable schtick like playing naked or using dancing elephants in your act you will be "just another rock band" with "just another rock band" sound. The big acts were chosen and funded by large corporate interests with deep pockets. It's like you can strike gold in Alaska eventually if you're willing to put millions up front and take several years doing it. 

    The older I get the more I see right through all of the crap. Famous musicians are often minimally talented shills who are simply "products" to be marketed. Use any angle you can , the devil, se** whateva brings in the dough. Don't think for one minute it has anything to do with music.

     

    Great points you make . Everything in your whole post I identified with ...this quoted section above hit me the hardest ..

    I hate the way things are now ...for now let me leave it at that

    🤣

    I'm still waiting for the chicks , the check in the mail  , the World Wide exposure the net can bring  .The long over due invite to a guitar player magazine interview , a Jam with Joe B....and a whole bunch of other shit 😎

    Oh well, I guess there is safety in numbers when it comes to a persons musical delusions  .

  7. The goal of creating finely crafted and recorded music that was done solely at  ones own personal home studio is a noble aspiration ...

    Where else can I spend all my time and money on putting my best foot forward and creating the best music I am capable of .

    What a rush it is to finally post my new song . Now all of a sudden we  are in the same league as all the professional bands and musicians that have gone before us ... 

    I am always truly humbled to the core two or three weeks after posting my new song . WOW  it may have gotten a hundred listens  ...

    Yes all this adulation and fame  can be a real challenge to keep in check ...... I don't know how some people  do it ...

    Easy mistake to make when it's just an upgrade and IMO Celemony should make this info far more prominent seeing as how it's the first time that this has been the case.

    Maybe @cclarry could edit his OP to include this info - might save somebody else from finding out too late. 

    Yes this was a very easy mistake for me to have made . Right off the bat after opening Melodyne for something I was doing in a musical clip , Melodyne went full charge to an upgrade offer in my acct and provided me with a individualized download w my e mail and other info ...

    Once there , I actually wanted to see and read about what was going on over there so I had to open up another browser since I was locked into my download info

    I have Assistant on 2 of my computers and I wanted to find out if I had to ante up to go from 4 to 5 .

    To make a long story short I never found out ...There is nothing easy about navigating their site unless you want to compare going over there to peeling an artichoke

    FWIW after toasting my Win 7 computer and having sent support an e mail , I realized the root of my problem was 2 things ...Melodyne 5 does not support Windows 7  and I had made a rookie mistake ... 

    Oh BTW support did get back to me and let me know that Win 10 is the minimum requirement...  It took me the better part of last night to get my computer back to what it was ....

    Currently I'm back on one of my Win 10 computers and I'm not upgrading anything on it until I find out what is going on .

    I'm happy Essentials 4 to Essentials 5 is a free upgrade yet I still have no idea what it would cost me to go from Assistant 4 to Assistant 5 ...

    I got lots of time to figure that one out ( lot's of time means no extra cash ) LOL

    I'm not gonna break anything else trying to fix that which is not broken ...when I get some extra coin, only then may I change my mind .
