thank you \m/

Thanks very much, I appreciate that \m/

Thank you \m/

Thank you, my setup is really simple, just the guitar through a Scarlett 2i2 straight into Logic and I mostly use Neural plugins, that's it basically haha

@jjrrecording Awesome! I'll check the Neural out! Any favorite presets on there?

@@PhillipMorgan-o7j I did this song with the 'As I Am' preset in Archetype Petrucci, that's one of my favourites. I really like Archetype Nolly and Archetype Gojira too but all the Neural plugins sound excellent in my opinion

@ I will check those out! Thank you for your input. Looking forward to your future videos 😊

@jjrrecordingsomething else I was wondering, the great drum tracks you use, are you writing the beat with a program? I’d like to get the same style drum tracks behind my original riffs

Thanks dude \m/

Thanks \m/

Haha thanks dude. It isn't always easy but I do think it's a skill that can be practised. I know how frustrating it is to have a creative block/not be able to come up with anything you like, but I've found it happens less frequently the more time you spend writing. Even if you don't like the end result, the process of finishing off an idea is beneficial in and of itself. I hope you get past the difficulties \m/

Thanks very much \m/

NYXL 10-80 most of the time for the 8 string, sometimes a lighter gauge if I'm not tuning as low

@jjrrecording 10-80s for drop e?

@@pho5phoros Yeah, for me that's the perfect sort of range for 10-80

Thank you, that's an interesting tuning, I'll have to try that out. I'll have a listen to Obscure Sphinx, not heard them before

Thanks dude \m/

Thank you \m/

Thanks very much, this is mostly OKW Metal with a small amount of kick and snare from OKW Architects blended in for some extra beef haha, OKW Metal does sound great on it's own though

10-80 for this one

Thank you \m/

Thanks dude \m/

Thanks dude, I can't remember exactly what gauge are on it just now, but I think it's around .72 for the low string

Thanks dude, appreciate the support \m/

Thanks very much \m/

Thank you \m/

Thanks dude \m/

Thank you \m/

Thanks very much, I appreciate that \m/

Thank you, I had a set of .80 on here but they were far too loose in C so I actually tuned to D and then pitched it down with the Neural transpose function. I know exactly what you mean with the tone getting woofy with thicker strings, that's why lately I've been preferring lighter gauges but pitching it down, that seems to help preserve the aggression in the tone and makes it easier to avoid that excessive low end

Thank you

Thanks very much \m/

That's a hard one to answer haha. I change my mind a lot on that. I really like low tunings for the ominous/dark sound they have but I like higher tunings a lot because they tend to be more aggressive sounding. It's a different answer depending on how many strings but if I had to choose only one tuning forever, it would probably be B standard 7 string, I think it's the perfect middle ground. Do you have a favourite?

@ nice, I’m really into metalcore right now so my fav is probably drop d

@@notcomedic4799 cool, drop tunings are fun, nice way to change things up and generate different ideas

Thanks dude \m/

thanks \m/

Thank you, for tuning down this low I use a set of 13-62 with a 72 for the F sharp. It's not drop tuned though, just 5 steps down from standard. For time saving though I'm starting to prefer the transpose function in the Neural plugins, it works so well it just saves the hassle of changing strings all the time haha

Haha, thanks \m/

haha

Thanks very much, I really appreciate it \m/

Thank you

Thank you haha, that's a very flattering comparison \m/

Thanks dude \m/

Thanks, I'll have to look into getting that set up, been meaning to do it for a while now haha

@jjrrecording i and i think every other independent producer uses distrokid. It also uploads to basically every music streaming site.

Thanks very much, I'd love to have a band, but unfortunately due to remote location it's not practical

Thanks dude \m/

Thanks haha \m/

Thanks \m/

Thanks very much, I appreciate it \m/

Yeah, just the stock pick ups

@ ohh that’s cool !

@@beersingha161 Yeah, I think they sound great for stock pick ups

Thank you, I really need to give them a proper listen

Thank you

Thanks, that's definitely on the to-do list

Thanks very much \m/
