Re: The right sound for certain songs

At guitarbackingtrack.com or on youtube. Creating Presets with the Spark app is easy. But if you want it to sound reasonable, there are a few things to consider. In general, I can say the following for the Spark app's signal chain. From left to right: Noisegate only when necessary. But be careful w...

Re: Excessive hum

Quite a few people seem to complain about excessive hum. This is usually caused by the power supply not being grounded,so you could find an alternative one (and badger Positive Grid that they should stop provided that p.o.s. they do :-)). I have also read that people enable the noise gate to dimini...

Re: I need to buy a tablet

Lenovo's are good tablets, I just got a new and better, more expensive, Samsung for my daily use and moving my Lenovo to the studio. The portrait over landscape not a killer for me as I normally use my tablets in portrait when using for tabs or lyrics or other music stuff, landscape for web surfing...

Re: Keyboard to Spark Amp to Studio One?

That it is designed to play not just electric guitar but acoustic guitar and bass and full range backing tracks it shouldn't be a problem using the correct cabling. Keep to volume output on the keyboard down and then slowly turn it up to where it is workable on the spark without any distortion.

Re: How to fix intermittent sound drops in Bluetooth-connected music

I haven't noticed any Bluetooth drop outs, I sit about 6 feet in front with my tablet, Android, being held on a mic stand, same I used when playing live because I'mm too old to remember lyrics anymore :D Would have been nice, considering the vast majority of these things will be used in house and no...

Re: Smart Button Request

If you drag a pedal up it will switch on, if you drag it down it will switch it off, did you know that? And it's not really 'drag', it's more like flicking your fingers up or down over it. Yes, but if I have the backing track/smart jam/spotify on the screen and I've been playing chords and now want...

Smart Button Request

I submitted a request to PG Support to have added to the app say 4 smart buttons that you could assign to various functions and they would float on the screen so that you have access to them when using the backing tracks or Smart Jam. Mainly to use to quickly turn effects on or off or switch pre-set...
