Musical Instrument Beginning With N

These headphones are great for tracking drums or any musical instrument! Love them!

I used to work in musical instrument & pro audio retail and I hate to pay retail for cables, but I also realize the value of having good cables where data and audio transfer are critical. I bought these cables for all of my camera tethering and for data communication with one of my synthesizers to communicate with my computers. Im very pleased with the construction and performance & I also like the bright orange so these cables stand out from my other data cables.

A well made musical instrument cable for light duty use at a very reasonable price point. Cable is very supple and well made from both a mechanical and electrical perspective. Wire and braid are soldered to the connector, not crimped, I like that. Shielding from electrical noise and interference (radiated susceptibility) seems adequate for my use. Cable microphonics do not seem to be a problem with this musical instrument cable.

This is a great case. I've had good experiences with SKB in the past for musical instrument cases, and this is no different. I have 2 Sony a7iii camera bodies and an assortment of lenses in here, and it all fits nicely. The lid organizer is a nice addition too.

I have been using the 15-key Stream Deck which works great, but I'm now learning a new musical instrument via online video tutorials and I needed a way to do mouse clicks without removing my hands from the instrument. The Elgato foot pedal works perfectly for this using the SuperMacro plug-in in the Stream Deck software.

I do various recordings as far as voice, musical instrument instruction videos, music tracks for various clients. For a while, I've used the Blue Yeti and always knew I needed a better mic but didn't know what to get. Plugins in post can take you very far but, overall I knew I needed better hardware. This mic was rated very high for it's quality to cost ratio. I'm a saxophonist and I needed a large diaphragm condenser for what I wanted to do and this was at the top of the pile of my choices. It was a major quality increase. I paired it with a Focusrite 2i2. Very round and thick sounding. I've watched videos and comparisons It's response curve is relatively flat compared to the NT1-A. Also it's extremely quiet. I won't need another mic for quite awhile.

I needed a power supply for a musical-instrument device that I bought used. This power supply met all the technical requirements (and its price was much lower than elsewhere), except that its plug had an incorrect center-pin diameter (I wish the listings for such devices included that spec; they seldom do). Luckily I had a power supply with the right plug that I don't need; I spliced that power supply's cable onto this one since I have the necessary tools and skills. It's now doing the job!

This is the beginning of a great musical friendship I love my Sonos Play 5 and by the end of 2020 next year I should have my whole home system set up all throughout my house.

I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.

..just beginning to know it..and use it..thank you
