    Anyone else stopped hunting for new music?

    Well it's directly connected to the desire to develop, which is usually connected to the age, and difficult to fight against. The truth is there is s#itload of great music everywhere, but the more we know the less we need. In youth people feel the music, while grownups understand it more than...

    The picking technique thread

    Please, keep Michael Angelo Batio out of this, freaks of nature don't count 🤣 but true, though I decided not to dwell on it in order to provide a more applicable answer. That's another matter 😉 muscle tension in the early learning stage is your no1 enemy, because it's REALLY hard to unlearn...

    The picking technique thread

    It's not really about the sound, but the access to strings. Sometimes it's better to use upstroke even if downstroke would've worked as well, but might have left your picking hand in less convenient position before hitting the next string.

    The picking technique thread

    I'd say go for alternate first, because it's easier to switch to economy picking later than the other way around. While economy picking may seem easier, some solos may be really hard to play without alternate picking technique.

    strap lock/button relocation?

    I've moved the front strap button in my Jackson JS32 KV lower, and it greatly improved the neck dive balance. The best thing that could be done IMHO.

    T.V. shows you've been watching

    It's really good tv show, even excellent if by Fallout you think Bethesda's Fallout, and all the reviews I watch say that "everything fallout is there". Well.. yeah, but it seems that people forgot what original Fallouts really were. New fallouts are like 25% post-apo, 25% retro-futurism, 25%...

    Devil Doll/ Mr. Doctor

    I'm digging it up from the grave, because this project deserves it. I'm a huge fan of Devil Doll since Dies Irae was released and it's such a shame Mr.Doctor has put it on hold.

    Cthulhu Squadron - Silent in Space / Music Video - brutal ;)

    Thanks! The vocals, it's a sort of an experiment, a debut actually ;-) A beginning of the road in search for my own style. I didn't want to make another sci-fi growling or modern hi pitched singing, as there's already a lot of that on the market so I thought of some thrashy vibe, and see how...

    Movies you've been watching...

    Yess, so it's not only my impression. At this point it doesn’t matter if some CGI explosions are house big, or a city big, or a planet.., it's no more convincing than a greenscreen behind it. Thanks for reassuring =]

    Movies you've been watching...

    Actually I prefer oldschool FX instead of modern CGI because it's limitations prevented using them everywhere and anytime, so if the movie was to be good it had to be earned by other qualities, story, scenes and so on. Now it's like good story isn't really needed, let's put in some more CGI and...

    How do I save this abomination

    I'd say that looking for the perfect result at the first try is meant to fail. Simply, because it comes slowly with the experience, not only in understanding the daw/workflow/mixing but also in our perception. Simply, some of our first songs must be worse so the next ones can be better, and...

    A recent upgrade. Additional screens are priceless. Thinking of putting in another, a touchpad maybe?

    Recording/Studio Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread - Megathread

    Not denying your experience, but tbh all what you say runs perfectly smooth here (Helix LT). My last track had approx 6 helix native instances, drums vst, 4-5 synths, lots of EQs, compressors, mastering VSTs, and in the end I've also added a ZGameEditor Visualizer with a 4k video, and I've had...

    Recording/Studio Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread - Megathread

    I use Vegas 20, bought cheap at some Steam promo. Easy but fully capable video editor. I've made some vids having barely no experience. I've tried Adobe Premiere as well, but failed so far. Whether because of lack of experience or a diffrent workflow, can't say for sure, but at this point I'd...

    DAWs?

    I'll vote for FL as well. I've tried to work with other DAWs and found them user-unfriendly, while FL is super easy and still fully capable. Since I bought FL "producer's edition" once, they constantly release updates for free, not some minor crap but major ones, the amount of plugins included...

    Better hope you never have an issue with your ESP guitar

    I guess that wrap type finish will become in time a cheap type of finish, assigned for a lower price products. It's not yet time for that to put that in the product's standard description template, but the more "incidents" like this happen, the more it will become relevant. Share this, so others...
