    Zoom B3 vs Windows 10

    in Effects

    Posted

    Problem seems to be resolved... I plugged into another USB port and it worked!

    The port which I'm now using is the one which I have usually used historically, but I'm sure that it used to work from all ports on the computer :scratch_one-s_head:

    Thanks for the advice chaps, I'll bear it all in mind if I have problems in the future!

    To clarify, this is the original B3 and not the newer B3n? 

    Have you tried uninstalling all B3 related drivers/software and reinstalling it from scratch?

    It's the original B3, and I might just try that!

    Zoom B3 vs Windows 10

    in Effects

    Posted

    Until recently, the two seemed to exist in perfect harmony.

    Most of my practising is performed in headphones, through my B3 which is plugged via USB into my laptop. The audio output of the computer goes through the B3, so in the headphones I get both the Bass and laptop audio. 

    Until I downloaded the most recent Windows 10 update...

    Now, the USB seems only to power the B3 and my laptop doesn't seem to register the B3 at all. Edit & Share won't open properly and I don't even get the options to send the PC audio to the B3. I haven't tried recording with it recently, but I assume that the situation is the same.

    I've tried downloading all of the latest software and firmware updates for the B3 from Zoom but this doesn't seem to have made any difference. Does anybody else have experience of this, and can anyone advise on a fix?

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    The whiskey is probably the best thing up here, so many different distillery to visit, and more importantly so many different whiskeys to try!

    The music scene is rather weird up here, there is a lot of folk making original music but not a lot of events for it. Although function/covers bands seem to be very popular up here and a lot of pubs in the smaller towns through out the area seem to be putting more and more cover bands on.

    Sounds familiar!

    fuzz through a pa

    Does your band run it's own PA at gigs? Try EQ'ing your channel on the desk favourably to your fuzz. Rolling off the treble and maybe the very high mids on the desk would be the best (and cheapest) start to find the solution. Try it at rehearsals first to try and find the sweet spot. Running a little compression should help too.

    Back on topic. Try using some foam damping at the bridge. I picked up a roll of extra thick self-adhesive weatherstrip from Home Hardware for about £3; stick some on the underside of the bridge ashtray and away you go!

    If you don't have the ashtray on your bass then you could stick some onto the bass itself underneath the strings, as tight as you can to the bridge saddles, or take the Carol Kaye approach:

    Rotosound flats are quite textured feeling for flatwounds, maybe not quite in round territory but I'd say they don't really have that polished, slippery feel that most flats do. I found this picture on a czech bass forum which illustrates this quite well:
