I only tracked parts on the pre-pro as we were writing and that was the main focus, but that section was super tricky! Nolly retracked everything with Tosin/Jav/Matt so that the takes could be super tight for the final product.
What tuning did Nolly use on this album? Did he have the bass down to EBDAD (or something) to go an octave below the guitars, or did he just use a five string tuned BEADG (or something close) and play in the same octave on the 8-string stuff like Meshuggah and only go lower than E on sections where the guitars aren't playing on the low E? He's clearly going down below the range of the guitars on stuff like the Kaskade solo where the guitar riffs are in 7 string range, but I didn't really hear where he was on the 8 string riffs. I'm waiting to listen really closely to the bass stuff till I get my actual copy of the album (I'm old-school I guess).
