Honestly, I almost gave up on this forum a while back after some of the flippant and close minded remarks in this thread. There are too many variables and it would be wrong to give a definite 'no' answer. Pretty sure I summed this up in post #18. At least it is nice to see that there are...
Nice to see you at least considered my point. Getting four (or more) very complex rhythm tracks to align well does take some transient shifting in many cases... particularly where you are quad-tracking with different picks, pickup positions, etc, and it is a complex arrangement in general...
Multi-out with SD2 to individual DAW tracks and process within the DAW - for sure. Some of the 'producer presets' for the SD2 kits are reasonable starting points, but you will still want to have that extra layer of control with the DAW / 3rd party plugs. If you can help it, don't bounce...
Quad-tracking is effectively the reason why most big producers actually do sync transients on complex tracks to retain tightness. I see these things as going hand-in-hand. I would agree that there should be no need to edit this way with only single or double tracked rhythm parts if the...
You can detect and shift transients around quite easily in Logic - have not tried quantizing, but it will sync instruments tracks nicely to add tightness. Not sure whether this helps you at all though (unless you export those tracks into a Logic session for this purpose). Actually, I have a...
There are some reasonable mini amps around which are geared towards metal - they are loud enough to rehearse and even gig with in some cases (miced up of course). Sounds like you will need an fx loop for the delay. Mesa (Mini-Recto), Krank (Krankenstein Jr) and Engl (Gigmaster) all make...
...if you are keen on experimenting with something unique: A Selection of Tasmanian Timbers | TASMANIAN TONEWOODS Tonewood This guy built me an astonishing sounding 6 string using tasmanian oak and myrtle. He sells blanks but not sure what your chances are of getting it through quarantine, etc.
I don't know a great deal about Meshugguah's actual production techniques, but I would image that the mix has a lot to do with it - possibly difficult to compare (or achieve) with a raw amp sound?
It's frustrating when most consumer grade guitar amp gain structures and EQ sections don't really cater for ERGs isn't it? Cab and speaker design also plays a huge role in getting the most out of an ERG. Whilst pickup manufacturers cater for ERG fairly well because the R&D costs were...
I'm not missing any point and I know a fair bit about amp design. I think you are trying to simplify what I am saying. I don't suggest that an ERG 'will' necessarily damage anything, but I suppose that the responsible answer to a question asked about possible damage is: 'yes, there is a...
I suppose it depends on the application. If you are just jamming occasionally at reasonable volumes and happy to 'flub flub flub' away - it probably won't cause any huge issues. You may start to see some amp manufacturers engineering them with EQ and filters designed with ERG / lower freqs...
