Songwriting Scrapbook Session

Something I’ve been doing recently is taking about an hour or less to jot down an idea, whether it’s some lyrics or, most often, a musical idea. I like to just sit down, see what comes out, and work on that. I thought I’d capture the process here and give you a glimpse into what it looks like and how an idea develops. I am enjoying this sketchbook process, being able to revisit the ideas later ...

    Yamaha has definitely quality problems with these. I got my brand new Revstar RSS02T and it had an incorrect radius bridge , poorly cut nut and high frets all causing buzzing. It took a luthier hours just to make it playable and the Yamaha customer service is non-existent.

    • @davidroddie
      @davidroddie 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey :) yeah I think this might be one of those Marmite guitars 😂 I am really enjoying it, I think for my use case which is a guitar for writing and drafting out songs quickly it’s been really useful. With 10 gauge acoustic strings and a tweak to the action it feels great to me. I will link you a clip of a song I was tracking at the weekend, in that you can see how it does laying down a nice acoustic bed and some electric parts on top. For me it’s a great sketching tool, that being said, I totally get why you don’t like it. It’s not a replacement for an electric or an acoustic, but my argument is that maybe it’s just its own thing. I think Fender marketing it as this one guitar does it all might be the wrong approach, and instead they should focus on “this is a guitar that sounds like this” and let people decide if they like that or not :) Thanks for taking the time to comment and hopefully the next video I post will have a guitar you like, there’s some really nice guitars lined up.

    Yes, the guitar can handle everything. But in every aspect the sound of the acoustasonic can not compete with inexpensive originals for example a squier electric guitar or a fender dreadnought.

    • @davidroddie
      @davidroddie 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I think it’s great as a songwriting tool, or for live use if you need to change between songs. But in terms of better than an electric or an acoustic, I agree with what you’re saying. It’s still nice though and I’ve found it very useful so far. Actually tracking some guides last weekend was great being able to quickly track acoustic and electric. I’ll add a link to that here so that you can check it out. I think with this, there’s always some compromise and ideally separate guitars would be best, but if you need something that can cover a range of sounds, this guitar does the job nicely. I think you need to look at this as a guitar in its own right and not something that replaces either electric or acoustic. Thanks for taking the time to comment and hopefully you’ll be able to catch my next video soon :)

      Hey :) yeah I think the subscription will work for some, the issue was they removed people’s choice. For instance If you currently have their full plugin bundle and decide to only update it every 2-3 years then you could do that. But with the new model they proposed it meant you would only ever have access to updated plugins while you had a live subscription. It’s horses for courses I guess :) Just glad they have given users choice again.

      Yeah, I guess it effects music producers, mix engineers, songwriters and many others that rely on the software to differing degrees. All of these users have paid for and rightfully expect to be able to access their software and have support to from the company that created it. I strongly believe we should all contact Waves (maybe even an online petition) to suggest that they keep supporting existing perpetual license holders with a WUP.
