I'm in with another problem :) I've been learning some runs to enquier speed and strength. Well, after some days playing those runs over and over again I decided to record a couple to compare with the examples. Well, I tought I was as fast as the examples, but damn, when I heard the records it sounded so slow, not even close to the actual speed. Well, I analysed it and came to the conclusion that the amount of seconds was exactly the same as the examples. The only thing that was different was that I played without an effect and the example was played with an effect. How is it that an effect can make so much difference ? I have a Boss Me-33 which I plug directly into my PC (don't worry it has a special option so it wont damage any hardware) because I don't have an *amp. Does it have something to do with reverb/delay or something ? I don't really know alot about amps and effects and stuff. So please, tell me which effects I should compose to make is sound 'fast'. If it's not clear I'll post a sound example to show you what I mean.
*amp: I do have one, a small Fender 5watt, but I hardly use it. I'm waiting for the new big ones from Stagg. The amps are pretty cheap for what they offer. I've heard that they are pretty good (but ofcourse that was some salesman chatter). Can anyone tell me if they are any good ?
Anyway, thank you !
