Two words: Power Attenuator.

Whatever. I have a 1979 Marshall JMP Mk II 50w Master Lead sitting in my room. I get what I want with the flick of a switch Or I can plug into the afforementioned Marshall 2204....

I couldn't care less about scrolling through other people's presets for hours trying to find something that sounds almost right....

Eat them or something? Seriously! I'm looking for stuff on eBay and just about everything that has a really good price on it is missing the power supply. WTF, people? When you stuffed that gizmo in the closet 10 years ago, how hard would it have been to stick the power supply in there with it? I'm not exactly what anyone would call a neat freak but I have yet to misplace the power supply for anything.

Just put the work in and learn something.... https://www.amazon.com/Mixing-Engineers-Handbook-5th/dp/1946837121

His suit is too small.

Yes

Sweet Mother of Jesus!!!! ?

You have to select the unwanted MIDI CC events and delete them. only hides that lane.

Ya think?

All really good stuff.

Such an expensive mic? I feel for you, man. I've been there. I've been so broke I couldn't even pay attention. So, I ain't just some rich white guy trying to spend all your money for you but that doesn't change the facts. Those USB microphones are suitable for podcasting but not much else. And, sorry to say, some of those Amazon cheapies not even for that. You can easily get a usable microphone off of eBay for under $100 without even trying. If you look hard, substantially less. A good Focusrite can be had for about the same. Good ASIO drivers are imperative to getting low latency. Good ASIO drivers are only supplied by the equipment manufacturer. I know that might seem like a lot, but getting quality ends up saving you money (and frustration) in the long run. Not having much money makes it all the more imperative to do a lot of research and spend your money wisely, getting the right stuff from the beginning. Buy once, cry once.

I've never had any problems with GC, either.

Didn't I say that already?

Bookmarked!

You need to deselect the other inputs first. But you should really get a real audio interface and a real microphone and skip the headaches you're going to experience.

What changed about your system?

Modern manufacturing being what it is, unless you are buying an actual custom guitar that is actually hand made by an actual luthier, one is the same as the next one.

Some good contact cleaner like Deoxit might fix things.

Why not just get a proper sustain pedal and make it easy?

Stay away from any 32 bit stuff, hobbyist plugins unless they have a following* and abandonware and you will avoid many issues. * Full Bucket makes some awesome instruments (mostly Korg emulations) that surpass some paid stuff. There are two threads elsewhere filled with good stuff.

I would stay away from gimmicks like the light up keys because they can easily become crutches that actually end up being an impediment to learning. Also, if piano is what you want to learn, be sure to get something with weighted piano action keys. The playing experience is very different.

Casio makes exactly what you're asking for.
