Never been taught proper method of its use.
I rarely use my sustain pedal because I am self taught and only ever learnt right hand melody playing treble cleff and left hand chords playing along with auto ACMP.
I am happy with my results and all my tunes sound okay. The DSP seems to add in echo, vibrato and possibly sustains the notes in some cases. So there has been no point in me using the pedal.
I have developed a bad habit maybe?
I have tried using the sustain pedal sometimes and not knowing proper method I never get it sounding uniform. Sometimes it works and sometimes it seems to have no effect.
When is the correct time to use it and how should it be used?
Do I press and hold it down or do I tap it?
Should I use it on full continuous whole beats only?
Should I press the pedal before striking the note or during the note or at the end of the note?
I have tried all ways and sometimes it works and sometimes it has no effect to the sound whatsoever. It frustrates me so I discard the whole idea.
So I am wondering what is correct and proper useage.
Cheers Ray
