I'm back to spam my side project "The Artificial Limbs"
!! 8 string baby !!
all music and lyrics by me (dave)
recorded, mixed and mastered by me
video by me
vocals by my pal Myles
I figured I could improve on my initial project.
I recorded 2 separate 'chugs' and 'pinch harmonics' panned them hard left and hard right so it would sound a little more better.
I also downloaded the free "ample bass" plugin and can trigger 2 different bass notes as well.
So, drums, guitars...
I think this is ok to post here ... this is me on a midi drum pad triggering drums and djenty guitar ...
Anyways, I saw a video of a dude triggering bass guitar notes with his drum-triggers. I thought it was cool, so I figured out how to do it in Reaper with a korg midi pad.
Self-proclaimed bleak metal with Female sing/harsh vocals !
Music mixed/mastered by me.
Video shot in my backyard and areas around my house, edited by me.
Me on bass.
New Single -- Endless Night
Another project of mine.
I write and record and mix and master the music while my buddy does all the vox.
I shoot and edit the videos too.
This is our 4th original, we did a cover of Whatever by Godsmack too. It's all on my youtube channel (link in sig).
For the uninitiated, I joined this band on bass.
I also recorded, mixed and mastered our 2 albums.
I also shot and edited all our videos.
I have moved over to guitar, so I played guitar in this video.
Our latest video (Plandemic) :
just kidding!!
I wrote a riff with bass as the rhythm guitars, bass as the 'lead' guitar and bass as the bass ...
Schecter Damien 5 > amplitube for guitar // parallax for bass
Just like the emg 81 youtube-shorts video I did, I'm going to develop this into a full song and post that when it's...
I feel dumb for even having to ask about this, since I should be able to figure it out myself ... but I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of (I'm definitely not a tech) and can't seem to find a google-based answer. I hope this is the right place to ask this, also.
Guitar : 2000 Ibanez...
I searched but couldn't find much help.
My drum tech has become unreliable, so I need to learn how to mic drums myself. This also means I have to buy drum mics.
I think the "Shure PGADRUMKIT7 7-Piece Drum Mic Kit with 1-PGA52, 3-PGA56, 1-PGA57, 2-PGA81, 3-A25D, 3-AP56DM, 7 XLR-XLR Cables and...
I love my Damien 5.
It has EMG 40hz pickups.
My issue is with output level. I have to crank the gain on my interface / vst / pedalboard super high. I can get some awesome tones, but the hiss sometimes ends up louder than the damn bass.
I just replaced the battery, so I know it's not that...
Back story then VST info!
I've come to the conclusion that; while i do love that thick grunty, distorted bass tone that Nolly and others have perfected, I always end up using a 'clean-ish' cranked SVT tone for my recordings and for the band I just joined.
IMO the Line 6 HD500 Ampeg SVT model...
Pics first:

TLDR: Way better cleans than my 5150 and the gain channel is close enough! I love it!!
I wanted to do 2 things:
1. Put together a smaller analogy rig to jam at home that
2. could be used as a...
lazy and rushed in a live situation
So recently I've started removing pedals from my live/jam rig because
1. I'm lazy/always rushed live
2. paranoid of equipment failures (due to having 1 at the Faceless show I recently played)
Elaborate!
previous rig setup:
guitar > tuner > behringer mh300...
SSO was helpful with the mix I did for my buddies band, so I'm back with the mix for MY band!
We're doing 5 songs for this release. I've decided to release the songs 1 at a time for 5 weeks. This will start Jan 22.
Anyhoo, I'm really close to this song being ready for release on Monday, but I...
This is the 2nd album I've recorded/mixed/mastered. The 1st was for my band (see Sig) and this one is for my guitarist's other band : Empyrean Plague
These songs have been 4 years and 2 drummers in the making, and almost a year of recording and mixing. We feel like we're about as close to...
I found a couple older threads on this but I wanted to see what the current opinion of these are. I watched a ton of videos where people have really good luck building and using a stable hackintosh. 1 video showed a guy buy an old HP 6300 for $70 (i think) and get it working awesomely.
So I'm...
You guys know that Peavey 5150 amps start out like this (except they have all their dials intact...) :

I like to tinker; so I removed the screws that hold the 'face-plate' in, removed the staples holding the black grill to the wood panel and put the grill back in place:

I found a couple old threads, but wanted some updated opinions.
Currently I use a regular wireless mouse. It works ok. I don't have any wrist pain. I'm just looking for a better way to navigate around in Reaper/Final Cut/Photoshop/etc.
I wanted your opinions on the Apple Trackpad and/or...
