They clearly meant 'more cowbell"

This is quite trippy

This topic reminds me of this

At the moment I"m using 50watts. What are you using for your dehumidifier? I have to factor in cost plus noise. As this is totally silent and we live on a cul-de-sac, it seems a great option.
It"s not massively humid in the garage, in general between 60-70% at its most humid, but I"d like my gear to be in normal home humidity levels of 40â50%

Done a few mods,
Leslie I have a rough service 20w bulb on a clamp on the right, to the left is a wardrobe hanging dehumidifier. Centre is a hygrometer. Went in after a few hours and it was 22C internally and 16C externally. Humidity was 38% internally, 55% prior to heating cabinet.
BX3 has a 5v USB fan pushing air out over a 27W heater/dehumidifier combo (contains desiccant granules)
Both Leslie and BX3 have been coated with ACF50. That includes circuit boards on BX3 and power amp/metal parts aside from belt/o-rings on Leslie. ACF50 is used in military and aviation on airframes and electronic components to stop corrosion.
Should keep everything nice in garage.
First time I"ve had lid off BX3 and there"s plenty of space to mount my HX3 inside.
Using thermal synthetic covers, not cotton which would pull in moisture and hold it

I used to use an X stand, and fitted the second tier bars the opposite way around so the top keyboard key fronts was in line with the back of the keys on lower keyboard.

I didn"t realise bulbs would generate so much heat. Thanks for that info! I"d assumed the contrary. I have a hygrometer which measure 78% humidity in the garage yesterday so I"ll get one of those rough bulbs and pop the Leslie in over night with the cover on and see what it measures at with bulb in place.

I fully admit to complete ignorance here, but I heard a tip that an old-fashioned incandescent lightbulb puts out enough heat to keep moisture out of a garage.
It looks like you're in the UK Gary? You can't buy normal incandescents here any more, but look for "rough service" bulbs at builders' trade counters and the like. They are made to take more extreme conditions, and are still sold.
Cheers, Mike.
It would certainly work in the space of a Leslie, but I"d want it running 24/7 so needs to be 5-10 watts for it not to show on my monthly bill that I"d notice. Plus the energy used wouldn"t be purely heat but primarily light with heat as secondary result.
I"ve got the option of installing a mini thermostat as well.
Yes I"m in the UK Mike, non stop rain the last month!
I have those wardrobe sachets Chris, but I think a heat source would be more suitable with electronics than just a moisture trap which tends to be used with fabrics and stuff.

I want to store and use my Leslie and BX3 in my garage but worry about moisture content over long periods.
Thinking of installing enclosure heaters on both. Any of you guys fitted any yourself. Looks like I"ll only need 10 watts each.

If I recall correctly, I"m sure some Hammonds had heaters fitted at factory.

I"d have to say Dolly Parton was probably the biggest I"ve witnessed in concert.

Made me smile as a misaligned diaphragm is a feature on the overdrive on my C3.

It"s due to the fact that the average age on here is 87 years old. Somethings gotta give, and if it"s not bladder functionality, it will be the failure to implement a feature akin to discovering the Holy Grail.

Moog Ho" as an exciter/maximiser add-on

I try to avoid purchases involving the need for a courier, at Christmas time. I"ve seen the way inundated and rushed delivery drivers handle stuff at this time and it"s not great at all. Even more so when everyone"s been buying from home this year anyway.

Trying to run loops and time based fx such as arpeggios to a drummer that can"t hold to click, just isn"t feasible. It"ll sound like a bag of spanners being thrown down a fire escape.

Kenny Loggins is a term muttered by frustrated Scottish people who can"t remember their password.
I believe that"s where Kenny Loggins name was derived from at birth.

Stereo sounds that are anemic in mono usually have phase problems that cancel low frequencies.
OT but relevant - this is why it is important to listen to a mix on a single speaker when one is recording/mixing/producing. It will provide awareness of the problem.
Do any of your pianos sound good with just the left OR right side run in the center?
That"s a great idea, mixing with one speaker, especially as venues are mainly going to be running mono systems.
Yes I"ve tried panning L+R but I"m not keen. I"ll go back and try phase inverting with the mono utility in Ableton.
-
Thanks guys, I"m using Ableton, and have tried the mono utility that comes with it, but it sounds quite anaemic.
However I"ve realised I can use the spdif coax out of my Scarlett interface, through a converter into the tape input of my Mackie and route the click to headphones only.

Any ones that work in mono without thinning out?
True Keys American has a side mic which is mono but sounds thin, the only other libraries I have are The Gentleman and Addictive Keys Upright, but I need a richer polished sound
I only have 1 audio out left in my audio card. 1/2 are in use and 3 is for click to headphone.
The only other solution I can think of is to send a midi signal to external device that creates an audio click, which would free up 3/4 outputs. But of course it"s another item in the chain and this setup is for live use. Unless I can get something really compact that just produces an audio click from a midi signal
Any suggestions??
