The drums drop out a lot mix wise compared to the part right before which gives an audio illusion that the guitars are extra brutal. The drums go from really busy and spastic to really simple and brutal and that leaves a pocket and mix wise you have more room to make the guitars duck the drums...
I dont know. I thought the vocalist fit in just fine. The only thing I found lacking was everything was very mid tempo, there wasn't much in the way of slams and blasts and way slow breakdowns but that's just my personal preference.
I always made it a point to set up my gear near where the most light is. Partly for vanity and partly so its easy to see the fretboard when I'm flailing around. It's never a bad idea to bring a colored back up light in case the lighting in the venue sucks, you just aim it at your torso and...
I like alternate tunings because you can come up with some cool ideas you may not normally come up with by accident. For the 7 string it makes no sense to me not to drop the low B to an A. You can play all the standard stuff and have that extra octave lower to go to when you want it. (for most...
Listened to the track. It feels like everything these scenecore bands do anymore is nu metal. Heavy part/poppy chorus/filtered shoegazey part whisper part. Nothing fresh or new.
I don't really see anything wrong with what you are doing. Really solid technically and its supposed to be proggy. It could use some really simple,poppy leads for taste but then it.wouldn't be prog :)
Sometimes I'll just hit record and let it go for 15 min. Sometimes what I'm playing at the moment doesn't grab me. Then I listen back to the tape and I'm like what was that part? That was cool and then i try to recreate it as a riff or flesh it out into something. Another thing that helps...
Some interesting techniques there , gives me ideas for my own stuff. There's a part i liked in the beginning of the 2nd link that reminded me of the street fighter 2 intro for capcom
You already got the right idea with buying a neck. Rather than do your own design I would highly reccomend aping a guitar that already exists. At the most maybe do a frankenstein of two axes you like a lot. It'll pay off because usually the first thing you're gonna build will present a lot of...
I noticed Jds vocals taking a nose dive by follow the leader. His melodies and lyrics were his best work, however. It was his tone, very nasal. But he still sounded good, just not as cool as he sounded on the first two albums. It seemed like every album after his voice got more and more...
I love their early sound. That first album is an engineering miracle the way Robinson managed to fit every instrument in that sonic spectrum. It isn't loud like a modern album but the tone really serves the songs. Like listening to their new stuff, disregarding songwriting, the sound is loud...
I wish I could bottle that feeling up. First time I heard life is peachy my cousin played it for me. It was so intense hearing it with nothing to compare it to. The creepy album art and that dark, brutal and strange sound. Nirvana was as heavy is got for me before that
My favorite thing to do when I get a riff I like is to start going off of tangent from it once its locked in. It's about not saying no to yourself and letting the subconcious come out. Then I take away the parts I don't like and listen to it again. Sometimes the cool parts don't make sense...
