What's really weird, is that August of last year, I saw Periphery here in Toronto (August 14th), and Dream Theater were playing the same day, and while waiting for Periphery behind the venue, I actually met John Petrucci who came by to check them out "because Jake is my nephew" (his words). Is...
Kind of similar to the above question, Having 3 guitarists, how do you approach each of your guitar tones in order to have a good mix live? Does each member fill a certain hole? (no butthole jokes please, haha :lol: )
Bought that shit! :shred: Been waiting forever for this- I was so pleasantly surprised to find out it was done :D Also made a post on the Petrucci Forums, letting everyone know of the awesomeness!
Thanks for all the complements, and I'm kinda flattered that some of you think I look like the singer :P Perhaps the blurriness of the video is to blame, haha Hey there, thanks! Well, to be honest with you, I'm only familiar with their two latest albums, and they are both stellar. I'd...
Wow thanks so much for the complements, everyone! That's quite an overwhelming response!:woot: I was actually afraid to post the vid, because I thought the song didn't lend itself too well for a video cover since it's so long, heh. I was pleasantly surprised! For those who are wondering about...
Hi everyone! I'm back again with an impromptu cover of Gojira's Global Warming since I was in the right tuning, and I'm using the wretched webcam again because my camera wasn't charged (d'oh)... The vid is pretty long so I included a surprise towards the end so you don't get bored :tongue...
Hey there! Cool tone, but it seems to me that you're playing out of time- about a 16th note forward. Try re-recording it tighter, and it should sound a lot better! :)
Thanks so much! :D tongarr, for this clip I actually used 2 impulses. I don't think it's possible to do it the usual way (as an insert effect), but here's a trick: Create two FX channels, and put the two impulses as effects in each channel. Create the audio channel that will be your guitar...
Thanks so much guys! :) The rig I used was my Mesa F-50, connected directly to my audio interface (Presonus Firebox) from the FX-send, and then I used Recabinet impulses for the cab simulation. If you're using amplitube, try using impulses instead of the built-in cab sims for a better sound.
Hi again! Here's my cover of Sybreed's Orbital - one of my favourite tracks! This time I decided to record the video with my new Logitech Pro 9000 Webcam... what a piece of crap, haha! The framerate is horrible! I'll stick with my camera in the future. I hope the framerate doesn't detract too...
My DC727 is Koa body, maple top, maple neck with koa stripes, and an ebony fretboard. Sounds great! I can't really compare to other choices, since it's the only Carvin I've ever played :lol: I have some vids with the guitar, showcasing how it sounds, if you want to check them out: Sybreed-...
Thanks guys! Thanks so much for the feedback man, really appreciated! Just before you posted your comment, I uploaded a new mix that should be better. I'll go back again and use your advice on the mix soon :D The bass is "fake" unfortunately (pitch shifted clean guitar), so I'm a bit wary of...
Hi everyone! So I've been playing around with this idea the past few days, and finally decided to start recording it yesterday. I would love to get your opinions, especially on the mix. The guitar seems to fit well in the mix, but it's a bit "non-conventional" shall we say... I'm so used to it...
Thanks man! I'm envious of your Mark IV- it's definitely the amp I'd most like to own (besides the Axe-FX haha). It's so tight! UPDATE: I did another quick clip to demonstrate the clean tone, you can hear it here: SoundClick artist: Tabula Rasa (CY) - Instrumental Progressive Melodic Metal...
Thanks for all the comments everyone! Thanks again zimbloth for those pickups man! Couldn't be happier :D Eagerly awaiting those clips! :) Tongarr, yep, I used the F50 for the tone, and Recabinet impulses for cab simulation :yesway: I have to be honest, I was extremely surprised by the tone I...
After months of owning the guitar, I think I have finally tweaked my way to an awesome tone. Here's a quick clip I slapped together after my eureka moment. The guitar is a Carvin DC727- koa body, maple neckthrough with koa stripes and a maple top. Pickups are Bareknuckle Holy Divers. These...
