Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

Hmm.
In the longer clean section in the second half of Insomnia, Spencer's vocals were obviously processed and layered with the unaltered tracks. Did you use autotune, Melodyne, a vocoder, or something else for that effect?

there is the one section which i think you are referring to where we flattened the harmonies in melodyne to give that "robotic vocoder" sort of effect.

Thanks a lot, that would be the part I was talking about.
That was a really clever idea, and I think it sounds a lot better than most people who abuse Melodyne (I'm looking at you, T-Pain), although I'm glad you used it sparingly

 

[bulb]

we used that effect from time to time, its kinda like recreating a vocoder

Yeah, I've noticed it in other places than that, but that's the one that really impressed me the most.
It was really interesting to hear Melodyne used just on the harmonies like that, and now I'm sure a bunch of people are going to start doing it

minor gripe alert:

so, i LOVE periphery. LOVE EM. just to get that out of the way.

the guitar work, the drumming, the mix of the album, spencer as the new singer, love it all. but does it throw off anybody else that every 7th word on the album is either "memories" or "dreams"? i mean, i get that theyre going for a surreal type of atmoshpere in the first place, but those two words are repeated so many times over the course of the album that they almost lose meaning to me. plus, i find it hard to rock out when the lyrics keep reminding me of feelings and shit.

LOVE PERIPHERY. just sayin.

Always thought that, then actually listening again today, it really stood out to me haha

"fall" and "the fall" get referenced a lot as well
i dont really know why, but ever since we started putting those lyrics in, i last longer in bed!

thats weird, cuz when i hear periphery in my head in bed, i finish quicker. i even use it for a little "help" when she isnt getting the job done. hm, different strokes, i guess

yay! just arrived in perth! 30+ hours of traveling and we are finally here!

sup guys!!

Perth? What gear did you guys bring with you? Are you gonna be rocking the ENGL or the axeFx?

Weather has been kinda cold in Melbourne lately... Cant wait for the show on Wed!!

 

[DDDorian]

Do you guys have any idea when you'll be hitting the stage at the Sydney show? I'm gonna be working at a country music festival relatively close to Sydney so if you guys are on late enough I *might* be able to make your set.

[Jango]

I think i'm gonna go to the Thrash and Burn summer tour this year just for these guys...

 

[Joeywilson]

Don't know if this has been answered already (sorry if it has) but how come the lyric booklet contains the censored version of Icarus lives?

(Just so you know i bought this album 3 times, and two t-shirts... /fanboi)

 

[bluffalo]

cant wait for sunday!

 

[Harry]

Looks like Periphery start at 8:30 tonight.
I'll be leaving soon to get there, will report back to this thread about how the gig went. I've never seen TDEP live before, so I'm hoping this is an insane experience

 

[Swippity Swappity]

If it makes you feel better, I laughed way harder than I should have. lol

Just came back from TDEP in Melb, but I was really there for Periphery.
Got autographs from most of the band and talked for a bit, Alex kept commenting on my shiny US pre order shirt which was cool.
Good times were had by all
