Just a thought

Out of all the groups I join and invited to on Facebook...
Only 4 has nothing to do with music.. I I remove myself from any group I'm not interested in ..
1 PHP group, 1 web link group and 2 anime.. I'm still in those group..
And almost every music group I'm in.. they're selling shit..
Now, I'm not against it at all. But seriously?
Its flooding too much now don't you think?
Its drowning the news about gigs around the area.. or some guy trying to learn how the stuff they bought works..
Or just a plain idea sharing posts.. 
I mean.. what gives bruh..?
Is this how we support our local music now?
Just by buying things?
I used to remember when we used to argue and mash each other on board rooms and chats just because we have a different settings on our amps and gears. And pointing facts that we deem right about how to hold a guitar properly... silly as it may sound, but that's what started us being better and having deeper interest on music in the first place.. we seek out more infos just to win the debate..
Nowadays..?
Just walk in to a group about bass guitars lead guitars, drums.. what do we see?
"Rm200!! (9/10) condition..!!
USD1000 vitage edition!!
Pm if interested..!! "
Like I said earlier... I'm not against that at all..
Without it, we may not even be able to start..
But.. come on guys.. how many of it do we need exactly?  If we still don't know what the whole stuff is about.. what the point of all that? Right?
Where is the posts that test a product that we're all selling, and how we could utilize what we already have to our advantage?  Where is a the post telling what a certain genre is an its history.. where is a post showing us how to make better music with cheap and simple devices?
Know what i mean? Not every person that has talents in music could gain half of the stuff we have on our room right now.. and I'm sure most of y'all understood that.. so what gives?
Out of all the groups and pages about music we've been apart of.. can't we figure out at least 1 simple way to turn that group about music and not an online shop? There's over thousands of members in a group we join in but it seems like we are the only one interested to learn or know about some stuff and every one else is only there selling things.. as if they're not interested in sharing what they know about our hobby and things that goes with it. Or even teach you how to use what they're selling to a beginner..
So those noobs just simply use what they got and make shitty sad music that destroys our industry from the inside, and all we do is complain about why they didn't learn more on things before they even bother to do music.. then we grump about how nobody is supporting or coming to our small underground gigs and small local band functions..  we justify on how we musician are not a violent society are only a small portion of less knowledgeable kids that are making our scene look bad..
Sound familiar?  How on earth are those kids gonna know anything if we don't teach them about it when they're reading what we write?
They were just like us when we first started.. they need someone to look up to for advises and tips. And the knowledge they have will impact their behavior in the scene.. that's a fact.. because that's what we are too.
We have the most powerful medium to use yet we wasted it around on showing how much we're not into the stuff anymore by selling our gears... we may give excuse on how we need the money..but to any new comer.. they would even see it as we're giving up on music as a whole..
Is that what we want from making that group?

I kinda disappeared for a while

Haven't got time to write anything yet.
I have some ideas, but it's a hassle to do.
Maybe I should put it in a new page instead.

My amp is giving feedbacks on high volume

I was playing my guitar last nite during a heavy rain, and my sound was completely swallowed by thunder and rain in my room..
(yes, i was crazy enough to play at the time)
Feeling unsatisfied for not being able to hear myself well on the speaker, i crank the volume up on my cheap amp only to get massive feedback sound due to being in a closed small room.. Its normal for that to happen for any amps i guess, but i do wonder how people setup their amps during live shows that is filled with loud crowds.. I've seen some live concert videos and albums where the band uses a full cabinet amp sets and played louder the noise im hearing in my room without these feedbacks..
It got me thinking to buy myself some noise gate effect so that i can beat the noise from outside and not getting feedbacks on the amp. I know that some bands uses it for getting their sound. And im aware that headphones will help to cut out the noise.. (p.s:- Im not much of a headphone guy.. I like my ears just the way they are. I do not wear any sort of accessories on my body except clothes and something to tie my hair)
Anyway, since i cant really buy the effectors, my brain started processing other method to get that sound.
I already know that my NUX FRONTLINE 30 is a pretty good amp in terms of sound with its built in effects but if i crank the volume to play for a jamm session, i'll get yelled at to turn it off.. (its a copy of a FENDER MUSTANG amp series i presume cause i saw one next to it when i bought it. Same function, size of speaker and power output. Except the fender is digital with extra prefixed settings, the nux is analog and slightly cheaper)
So i tried to find out what causes it. Is it my STAGG i300 pickups? Its working fine so far.. Is it in the gain settings too high?  I guess it is... Works well in low volume. And sounds awesome too.. But seriously? Playing on low volume on a 10 inch speaker? Cant we at lease have it halfway up? Cause that is such a waste of equiptment...
All i want was to eliminate that feedback when i turn up the knob. I looked around the net to find a solution without having to purchase a new gadget effects or a new amp but none suggested it. Though they do say that i should just use a headphone for high volume play.. (and burst my ears? Hell no)
So i sit back and wondered why it made a difference having a high volume on headphones.. I concluded that the noise from the phones didnt bounce back to the pickups..just like a mic on a normal speaker, so there will be no feedback sound.
I've tested the phone output to another speaker to see the results and it actually works.. But the second speaker needs to have some EQ on them atlease a bass and treble knobs. Otherwise, its just the same.
I tested that method over a few type speakers such as, a home theater speaker sets.. A cheap karaoke speaker peice (just one side), and my desktop pc speaker. And guess what? This method is actually a half set cabinet settings! Hah! So its legit to try out..
Now, i can crank up that volume to halfway up with high gain on the guitar amp. The output sound i got from the second speaker just wows me.. Except for the pc speakers.. Cause i think the power coming from the amp kills the output that the speaker can take.. In which the karaoke set that has an EQ built on it makes me able to get the tone that i want from my guitar. Without getting me a EQ effect. So note to self:- make sure the output can stand the input power capacity.
I figured that if i only play in my room, then this will do..
But if my buddies invite me for a jamm session in a studio nearby, i think i'll carry my Nux amp with me and test this method to a bigger amp sets..
lol..
Sounds kinda stupid bringing in your own amp to a place where you can rent them for a few hours.. I mean, guitars, i can understand.. But a cheap amplifier?
Yeah.. But dont get me wrong.. I felt that sometimes when you got too used to a certain setup, you lost your way using another. Get it? Its like when you've been playing a standard drum set all your years and you're good at it. But when you got to a gig that uses a full percussion set drums, i bet you only hit the things you know whats for.. And leave the rest hanging.. Right?
Yeah, i bet you do..
Hmm.. A Half Set Cabinet Of My Own.. I get it now.. Took awhile, but i get it.. I'll see what i can come up with it soon..

Another rambling..

I've been watching alot of anime lately on the net. Got nothing to do anyway. I got feddup with TV all these years for nothing actually interest me much except for the news, well, some of them.
Recently, as I turn on TV, I saw some anime that I have in my collection. Its kinda bores me in a way... I mean, I enjoyed knowing its on air, but I don't like the fact that its translated to Malay... Every joke that I laugh at on the show seems not funny anymore... But when I watched the original, I still laugh my ass off at the same joke... You guys get what I mean?
After awhile, I wrote somewhere on the net that its pointless for changing the original language of a show on TV.. Make it cartoons, anime or anything... I mean... Its not like Mr Bean, where people just see what happens and laugh... Comedy comes with puns and uses verbal mistakes and such as punchlines... So its very different for every language... And for Japanese anime, it comes with attitude and culture that only exist in Japan.. No one can translate a culture joke to a different language... And still find it funny... Not gonna work... I dunno... I can't explain this shit much... But anyone reading... Try translate the best jokes you have in your language into some other language... And see is if people can laugh at it just like you did with the original...
Anyway.. That was few month back.. Recently, they started re-showing "fairytale" anime on... Its one of the top charting anime on the net this year..(or is it last year?). And finally they didn't change it to Malay...like they did before... I was like, "hell yeah!! That's more like it...!!"
I mean, I'm not an otaku...or an anime freak, but I love originality... It has a good impact on the brain... Gets you to actually learn something along they way... Its fun, being an entertainment, and its educational...for those that watches it. Don't believe me? Ask around your friends that speaks Korean... I bet you over half of them started learning via music and dramas that shows up on TV... NOT from a teacher in class... So if you, parents out there, wants your kids to learn good English, get yourselves a few set of good old american sitcom videos... Watch them together with the entire family... When the kids sees you laughing all the time (and sometimes hear people on they show laughing, for sitcoms its natural) when they don't get what's going on in the screen, tell em, "its the power of understanding what you learn at school, and use it."
