Stop it, my mind is melting learning the bass and then you go and mention other stuff, bah!

It’s all hosted on the gigajamonline website, you sign up and learn all sorts of instruments and get awarded grade certificates, etc. You can record your playing and upload for the tutors to mark but they have software which is what I am using to auto upload your playing once it’s been graded by the software. It shows you the notes you need to play compared to the hat you actually played which is where the whole delay dilemma comes in!

Ok, that’s helpful, thank you. The i2m is a cracking bit of kit but learning to play with a delay isn’t great!

That’s a much easier idea! I’ll look into it although the software for the course only appears to mark live data but I’ll check it out

Yes, it’s set to work with MIDI.

Do you think the Scarlett Solo would do the same job as the Sonuus? Eager to fiddle with tech and the 3rd gen is under £100!

Yeah, I feel it too as I use fingers. Ok, good to know I ain’t a problem child and it’s a ‘thing’ (which I knew it was but have been battling with it!). I’ll look up that bit of kit as I use Macs too, thanks!

It’s a piece of software called Xtractor which is used in conjunction with the Gigajam website.

Hey all, I’m currently learning the bass and am using a Sonuus i2m to attach my bass to the recording software, great so far. Unfortunately, I’m always having to play a split second before every note to get a decent score on the tutor software. I’ve tinkered with the buffers, etc. but was wondering if anyone had a setting or settings for the ASIO or i2M that works for them. My best setting so far involves setting the ASIO hardware buffers to 4 but am willing to take instruction on what’s better!

I subscribed to gigajamonline.com and am enjoying the learning experience with that site plus I can learn other instruments on the same subscription which is handy.

I shall check that site out, thank you.

Been playing just over a year, loving it. Got me a beginners bass to start with (one of them great starter kits with amp, etc.) then picked up a second hand Ibanez SR300E a few months back. Learning from the web and really enjoying playing some tabs from my favourite tunes over the years.

That’s great advice thank you, when I saw it I thought ‘I’d rather dance it then play it’ but I’m getting a better idea now thanks to you all for the tips!

Thank you for the very quick response! I am totally new to this so please forgive my further question, with the fret hand ammo holding down on both E and D strings while I’m doing that?

So, I see a selection of notes and was wondering the best way to play them. The speed is 128 and any advice would always be appreciated!
