I don’t even need a lot of it moving air, just the cab at a volume I can hear it. It’s such a different experience than the whole IR thing. The only time I’m playing out of IR’s now is when I’m recording, amps and FM9 both come out of real cabs for everything but recording, even if it’s 10...
That’s the entire reason I started the Do Something challenge at TGF, the thought of starting yet another gear forum where people would inevitably shit on gear/music while not adding any output of their own would have made me hate the place pretty quickly.
The original premise of it was “Do...
I have an EVH head and was still looking at OG 5150’s this week, to add to my pile of amps I can’t crank in my apartment and need a load box so I can put it into my Fractal unit. Decided I’m getting a JP2C+ instead, though.
When I had mine in high school I used an EQ in the loop to cut/shape the mids for when we’d Pantera/metal covers, then bypass it for wanky guitar shit.
I seem to recall something being done with a Recto in one of the more recent updates/betas, but keep track of that shit requires a spreadsheet.
I always consider my presets to be in a liquid state so the revisions don’t bother me. I tweak everything every time I start a new song.
I also met with a drummer last night that seems like it’s going to be a GREAT fit! I’ve rarely walked away from a first meeting like that as pumped up as I was.
My goal for the last 2 years was just to get in a band so I could play live, after various BS situations I decided to just start my...
You definitely came in at a good time!
I initially dismissed the Cygnus update as not doing all that much, but once I had my monitors up pretty loud and I started re-dialing in some presets of amps I was familiar with, it became much more apparent.
I’d imagine the ‘brighter’, ‘more bass’...
Not giving a shit how cocky this comes off, anyone is free to go through all the vids and music I’ve posted and point out any improper technique or setup issues that are causing me to enjoy the Evertune.
I’ll give you a starting point-
I’ll wait.
Get gud.
Also had no problems doing this on my PRS SE when I had it. If there’s tuning hang-ups, 9x out of 10 it’s not happening at the bridge but the nut or some other contact point.
Also Part II- saw something about 6-screw Strat trems being screwed all the way down, that’s not how...
YES!!!!!!!!! ALL OF THIS!!!!!!!!
I made this quick clip when someone on TGP was doing the “it creates a problem it tries to solve thing”
Pick up any guitar and try doing this with it-
It’s just maj/min chords up the neck and then ends with an E chord being played in every octave on the neck...
That experience came off as reckless and was rather jarring to me, I’m not sure if my boss even realized my jaw was halfway to the floor. The specific call that the question came up on was an elderly woman and whatever the med was, she needed it to stay alive.
Fortunately, the only...
Because I’m only playing these kinds of tones on a Strat, my pinky is rest on the volume knob all the time anyway, but even then I use more pick/finger attack to affect the dirt than the volume knob.
This was a pretty good interview and Jasta didn’t pull any punches. I get the idea Jasta went to bat for these guys early on while also having a bit of “Dude, do you realize what you did to the metal community with this shit?” because of his line of questioning
I don’t really care about AILD...
I can totally understand the vocals…..but I’ve loved Portnoy’s drum tones ever since Falling Into Infinity. I’ve been bugging Toontrack and Portnoy via Twitter for like 6 years to do a Portnoy SDX with his Purple Monster and Siamese Monster because I LOVE the sound of those kits so much.
Taking everything at face value, where it stands now, I wouldn’t want to be in that situation, on either side. If the dude was indeed being extorted and that situation caused all this, that fucking sucks. And if the dude did do some shitty human shit, that also sucks.
I’d have to assume if...
This is my exact gripe with the way they’ve been doing things since SFAM- get in the studio and just blast it out, figure out the arrangements via dry erase boards and Pro Tools instead of just jamming the songs out and letting them develop themselves. It’s been paint-by-numbers Dream Theater...
