Bro, i was watching one of ur old video where u explained how to connect keyboad to laptop using "audio interface". So my question is, can i directly connect my keyboard to pc using "midi to usb cable" without using the audio interface?
I used to be the guy to buy every guitar he saw online just based on Reviews. Now that I got a little bit older I realized that buying a guitar without holding it first in your hands and trying it a batch of times is a waste of money. So my struggle started, as not many stores have a wide variety of Classical/Flamenco/Acoustic guitars. For my last guitar, I had to travel to Vienna from Graz just to spend a day doing nothing but playing guitars in the biggest store in Austria, I found the one that suited me but there's always that feeling that you could have tried more guitars. My point is that we need stores to use and BUY guitars and other gear and I hope they don't go bankrupt. If this happens we will have to use RUclipsrs reviews as a reference point to bet our money on a 2grand guitar which is totally wrong. Of course, the best bet is to go to a luthier and build one for you but this costs a lot and I wouldn’t travel by airplane with a guitar that costs 3-4k just to play somewhere open where my guitar is vulnerable in humidity and stuff.
Yeah it's weird isn't it. I can't imagine a situation where we have no ability to test things first, but it honestly looks like this is where the market is headed. I think what's going to happen is stores will disappear but manufacturers will be forced to have a killer return policy. You'll order, test it, and send it back if you don't like it. That'll just be the new norm.
Most people who are serious musicians need to test the product before buying it. But serious musicians are a small percentage of the population, a niche market. A generation ago, when rock music was THE music out there, you had throngs of young men (and women) who wanted to be the next Jimmy Page. Most of those people ended up not really being serious musicians, but they kept the industry alive. You don’t have that market anymore, so the number of potential customers has dwindled. The internet has certainly hurt the industry when it comes to things like picks and strings, but the greatest factors that are killing brick and mortar when it comes to selling their main product, guitars, have been high rent and fewer people interested in taking the instrument up.
@@geraldobrien7323Yeah, all good points. Although, I think you misunderestimate how popular the instrument still is. Interest in the guitar is still quite high from my perspective.

Like I said in the original video, yeah, you could, but why would you want to? Those cables suck.
Just get a proper audio interface dude.

@@andrewsiemon Yes I agree, I think Thomann already does that. I could order a 2-3k guitar and return it back if I don't like it no questions asked.
