Other than the difference in carve a big dealbreaker for me is they use the korean hardware too.
Bridge, nut, and tuners.
They are great guitars but aesthetically dont do it for me as much as the older ones.
Jari is putting everything across like he's the only musician who has to deal with the realities of life.
Statements like
"They would be even more unhappy if I didn’t buy the guitars, because then I would not be able to record the albums I’m working on."
are flat out ridiculous. There is no...
For recording this is HUGE. The low end being slightly off can kill the punch and clarity of the bass and the mix.
Even a good player can pick or finger too hard or too soft on certain notes which causes the tuning to shift flat or sharp. A lot of producers melodyne the bass it is, this will...
The goal for the forrest seasons was 150k.
The indigogo explicitly states if the get 750k they have hit their final goal and they can start building wintersun hq immediately.
This factored in taxes and fees. It's broken down in the blurb.
They didnt quite get 750k, but they hit 464k. You'd...
"I paid a good chunk of money and I don't buy guitars for fun, these are tools to make music. "
"I'm just so appreciative about these guitars, because they really were the "lifeline" in order to be able to record the next Wintersun albums. Without these tools I would not have been able to. So...
There are plenty of great mix engineers out there that will do an album for 5k.
Not the big names, but people with a track record of killer sounding records several levels above what he is putitng out now. This is assuming he tracks himself and uses vst's so he is only paying for mixing, which...
Much much much prefer it to Periphery IV.
Up there with my favourite things the band has ever released. P1, P3 and this would be my top 3.
Sihouette and Thanks Nobuo are the stand outs for me so far. So good. Nice touch paying homage with the track name too!
Video filmed and directed by Jari Mäenpää at Kitchen Studios.
I guessed it before I clicked and realised how awfully done the video was.
Dude needs to learn he's not pro level at everything he does. What a narcissist. Who puts out a music video for a 2 minute demo of an intro.
Someone needs to buy this for the stems and remix it.
Not that the music is so good it deserves it but just to prove the point to jai that it's the ears and not the 500k worth of gear.
While not awful, if he had just taken this to a pro he could have gotten a miles better result for like 500...
Jari seem like the kind of egomaniac that would let forum posts bother him to the point of replying under an alias.
If Jaris's mission is to make albums he's failing miserably. Milking his notoriety for financial gain on the other hand.....
