    Polyphia with Vai

    50 seconds in, and all I can think about is how squeaky clean the production is. The guitars are so heavily edited that they might as well have been programmed. I feel like that is the whole reason the song doesn't click with a lot of people. Music is about invoking emotions, right. Clean...

    The First World Problem Thread...Voice Your Struggle

    That's all true. Perhaps there should be an addendum. That there are still companies that are good for the time being. I'm going to a small engineering firm. But they are growing. There is a lot of room to grow within that company. Many of the people there have started from entry level positions...

    The First World Problem Thread...Voice Your Struggle

    There are still good companies out there. I'm going to one of them. Great pay, great benefits, bonuses, free food, room for growth, etc. It's just not the companies who get bought out by investment firms who no nothing about aerospace or engineering. They did pull me aside minutes after giving...

    The First World Problem Thread...Voice Your Struggle

    Quit my job. Put in notice. Now suddenly the management wants to help. They don't want me ( or others in critical roles ) to leave so they are pretending to care about us. They should have been paying attention while the demands from the investment group who owns this place were crushing the...

    Glenn Fricker on modern metal singing

    Boomer metal guy who hates everything that isn't boomer metal gonna boomer metal. Music changes. Music evolved. Either keep up or you end up like this guy clinging to shit that may have been good for the time but the skill level in metal has progressed far past this guy's ability to keep up. So...

    Post your demos HERE! 😊

    I'll just leave Derpbox links to a couple of bits. Won't post the whole tracks quite yet for a few reasons like not having all the vocals done, no band name, shopping for distributor, etc. But hopefully a full release will be done in due time...

    How to make your mix more "In your face"

    In my experience getting in your face and aggressive mixes is dependent on so many things. Most important would be: - Tracking. Making sure the guitars, bass, and drums are all dead on tight. Beyond tight. Your mix will never sound aggressive if things are merely tight-ish or mostly tight. Even...

    Will Russia invade Ukraine again? (Yes, yes they did)

    You probably got reported by a Trumpist.

    Meshuggah Megamushthread!!

    When I think "If these songs were released by any other band than Meshuggah would anyone care?" No. The answer is no. They seem to lack inspiration or motivation or something. It sounds like a band trying to be meshuggah but is missing a lot of the interesting elements and musical risks that...

    Will Russia invade Ukraine again? (Yes, yes they did)

    It's kind of amazing that a person can write and presumably speak perfect English while simultaneously making incoherent and self-refuting points. The brain is truly remarkable.

    Will Russia invade Ukraine again? (Yes, yes they did)

    Dudes and Dudettes: Stop pretending that ItWillDo's fascist sympathizing, Putin dong-gobbling ass is reachable though reason. It's not. He's steering the conversation and throwing Putin's feces disguised as information at the wall and watching everyone argue over it. It's shit no matter how you...

    drop a bass pitch shifted eq

    It means that if you have several takes layered on one track in what are called "Take Folders" in Logic the Transpose field will not be visible in the inspector window. With the Transpose feature you can record in standard tuning and use Transpose to lower the pitch by 2 semitones (-2).

    Will Russia invade Ukraine again? (Yes, yes they did)

    That's what makes Tucker a great American! He soldiers ever forward. Never admitting to any mistakes. No compromise. No surrender. Never worrying about accuracy. Just shoot in the dark and draw a bullseye around whatever bullet holes you find.

    Will Russia invade Ukraine again? (Yes, yes they did)

    All these quasi-fascists have is the whining about cancel culture and imaginary communists. They do not care about policy. It's all Sophistry, gaslighting, and general denialism. Pathetic. You know what they say about playing chess with a pigeon, right?

    drop a bass pitch shifted eq

    I use the "transpose" field in the inspector window of Logic. Make sure you've flattened the take folder or export the take to a new track and then transpose the DI down by "-2" and that will work. I use it all the time for bass instruments, sub drops, guitars, and synths with pretty good results.

    The moment you begin to refer to yourself as a Guitarist?

    I guess some people use the strict "one who plays guitar" definition and others use another definition that contains an implication of being very proficient and well rounded with the instrument.

    Will Russia invade Ukraine again? (Yes, yes they did)

    For real. Trying to address a wall of Sophistry is exhausting when that person doesn't care what the truth is and will simply just reply with garbage like "what is the truth? How can we even know what truth is? What even IS mom's spaghetti?"

    The moment you begin to refer to yourself as a Guitarist?

    I play guitar. But I'm not a guitarist. I'm not knowledgeable enough about music and all the various facets of the instrument be a proper guitarist. I haven't mastered the instrument in any meaningful way. I can kinda play prog-adjacent metal riffs alright. But that's the extent of what I can do...

    Another NeuralDSP plugin coming?

    Exactly what the members of this board were looking for. An emulation of a clone of a Fender amp. Perfection.
