Welcome to the Forums!  First off there has been a bit of discussion about various issues with display format in the About Chordie section.  Some of them may or may not be applicable to your situation.  Honestly, the site has been checked and double checked for errors, and we are not seeing what you are.  So rather than just leave it at that, you can help us help you by providing a little more information......  primarily:

What kind of device you are using;  laptop, tablet, phone, desktop PC or Mac.
Operating system you run;  (including the version) Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, or ??
Browser:  version info as well
Extensions;  Ad Block or Filtering, Anti-virus
Display; type and resolution settings

And possibly a screen capture (which you can send via e-mail if posting it to the forum is difficult).

With that stuff we stand a better than average chance of solving the problem, with just a couple of changes in your user settings on your device.

Thanks;
Doug

I thought I'd re-open this topic rather than starting another thread. 

Well the other day, Dear Spousal Unit walked in from a little shopping trip and presented me with a new microphone.  Not that I have a shortage of them, but each has it's uses and so I own like 8 of the darn things, and I look at it like not playing Tennis in your Golf shoes. Sometimes you fit the tool to the job..... so I accepted gracefully, the brand splinter-fire new Blue Snowball USB mic with a sincere Thank You Honey!  While thinking to myself "what were you thinking?".

Anyway I like it and it does everything it is supposed to do without dragging out the pre-amp, cables, DI interface and all that stuff that goes with, just to fiddle around for a few minutes.  Awhile back there was some discussion about interfaces on another thread here, and comments about some difficulty getting your DAW to play well with some of the hardware that is out there..... well, while I was checking out the Blue website I saw this neat little thing they call "Icicle".   Thought it might be of value to some members, so figured I'd mention it here.  The Icicle is a small adaptor that plugs onto your XLR cable from whatever microphone you already own, and then via USB connects directly to your PC.  It contains a pre-amp, phantom power for condenser mics and requires no drivers.  Granted it is not a dual input device, but still pretty neat and compact.

You can check all the Blue products on their website:  www.bluemic.com

And I have added it to my "wanna-buy" list.

Did Roger just offer to be the "designated driver"?  Always a good idea when there's a party with "adult beverages"...... but he should be warned that we drive on the "right" side of the road here, and everyone drives like they are the only ones out there.  Arrogant, agressive, reckless, and pretty much like they are running from the law!

Congratulations Joe & Kim!  Parenting is the most rewarding "job" you'll ever do.  Off to a good start!

Doug & Janet

Good to hear that you got around having to stop in the northern states Roger!  Those airport cots are not comfy at all, and there are far too many folks sparring for the most out-of -the-way carpeted sections.  Had to spend a night in Los Angeles once when a connection in San Francisco got shut down due to fog...... not a restful night at all!

Have fun & give regards to all that attend!

Doug

You might have to change your display settings, there has been discussion about that at:  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic. … 28#p158628

Browse around this section for other discussions on issues of pages rendering..... as the mobile version displays differently than the desktop one, and not always as "pretty" on some devices depending on how much real estate is available on the screen.  The frames can get a bit "scrunched" and overlap each other.

Thanks for posting.

Well, everything seems correct for me, so I have to ask what device you are using, which browser, and if you could send a screen shot to admin so it can be investigated.

Are you referring to only half of your index, or half a page, or only part of what you are seeing actually prints?  More information is always helpful, especially if we have to try to duplicate the issue and search for a fix.

Thanks

La Bella 2001 Light Tension.  I've seen them for around $8 on sale (regularly about twice that) long lasting and come to pitch and stabilize fairly quickly.  The lower tension might ease the pain for awhile to get through that "awkward" phase, but don't expect really high projection (volume). That's the trade off.

One thing to try and avoid is the tendency to press too hard on the string... you can't do anything about the diameter of it digging into your tender fingertips, but really you only have to press enough to contact the fretwire, not imbed it into the wood between them!

I too like D'Addario strings, but I think the La Bella strings are softer so a good starting string until those calluses get back.

1.  Yes.... many folks can sing very well, the rest of us just have "Style"!  It takes practice but I think anybody can improve and a good set of monitors can really help those that don't hear what everybody else has to put up with,

2.  It's a tool and use it if you must.  I have one, and it is particularly useful for adding "voices" and depth.  But generally, I let the guitar make the music, and if I happen to be singing along..... it's likely just keeping me from mixing up the verses and chorus etc.

Did a little search, and it is difficult to determine if it is a reseller, or manufacturer.  Are there any other markings on the instrument such as a labeling or serial number, model etc. that might assist in determining the origin?  A quick browse of the catalogue shows guitars from 150 to 325 pound range in pricing, so if it's any good I would think $90 wouldn't be a bad price.  As with all instruments, and cars, test drive before you buy if at all possible.

I always knew Canadians were friendly and helpful folks!  Then again that could be all the "car-pool" members trying to get to work.  Personally I never have had to dig any of my cars out of a snowbank, and would not see the purpose of extracting my car just to go nowhere..... it's not like we have a surplus of plows here in the "banana belt", so the roads would still not be driveable.

Just to toss a little salt into the wound..... Sunny and around 65F yesterday at the beach.  Clear, Sunny and expected to be close to that through Thursday.
