      @rayn man I know what you mean but I don't think that's what Tim is trying to do. He's just a real shy person, and I'm sure he loves Herman , and ik him and tosin are friends. It probably makes him judge himself if he tries to be outspoken or incredibly outgoing it's just not his personality and that's ok. Herman has his personality thats ok too. Tim has his moments where he goes wild with his close friend group too.

      If Time and Herman had one less string each, Tosin would have exactly the same amount as them put together.
      I really thought since we were going in even numbered increments, Tim would have brought the crazy 8 string black and gold or at least the blue burl, then we'd have 6, 8, 10. I was hoping Tosin would use the extended advantage to straight up cut heads but no joy in mudville

      for such lead sections as they'll be busy in the higher mids to treble you'd move up to the lower mids and, at the times the guitar(s) are doing these lower rhythm stuff either moderately duplicate the keynotes or move aside, leave the room and come in from nothing or like maybe from upper registers. Not by any means to dictate anything like this obviously but to me this way it's sound more present in a mix like that :D by an eq pedal with an expression thingy might be desirable to do such stuff on the go.

    • @gregziel
      @gregziel 3 роки тому +149

      @FND I'm referring to twitch banning/suspending Herman Li on twitch because of DMCA and he was playing DragonForce. Matt Heafy from Trivium also got a DMCA for playing his own music on stream too. Honestly record labels need to do a better job at making more robust and smarter bots for music detection that don't DMCA artists for playing their own music as a lot of artists are streaming on Twitch and UA-cam now since touring has grinded to a halt. All they are concerned about is making a quick buck and or shutting down people for playing their music when they don't. This is all too familiar to the situation gamers had as they dealt with Nintendo copystriking videos that had their content in it for years because of their backwards practices. Now sadly we are seeing it with the music industry in full swing on UA-cam and Twitch as they have not caught up to current times and are still stuck in their backwards ways.
      *Edit* I get that it is their intellectual property that they have the copyright to and they can do what they want with it. They want to make money off their artists songs to survive especially with covid and nobody being able to tour and I get that but there should still be some way to use the music in a stream. I don't come to a stream to listen to a certain persons music but for the streamer and if I hear a song I like on the stream I download it on Apple Music (my streaming service of choice) and listen to it. I believe people should be able to play the music on their streams but there is no easy solution to the problem and probably no way to compromise with record labels. Just my opinion. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    • @BambiTrout
      @BambiTrout 3 роки тому +15

      @@gregziel A lot of it is to do with how record labels changed the way they did business in the late 90s and early 2000s because of Napster and iTunes. Back in the day, record labels made most of the money from record sales, and the band made most of the money from tours with the label getting little, if any. When iTunes and Napster came along, record labels started making less money from record sales so they started locking artists into contracts where the record company took almost ALL of the money from both records and touring. This is why even insanely successful artists like TLC, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and more were all virtually bankrupt despite selling millions. It's also why solo artists are more common than bands now, because the record companies don't have to pay as many people. After a bunch of high profile examples of bands quitting their labels and suing their managers, the record labels relented a bit, but when Spotify and streaming services became the norm, they started tightening the noose again. To the record labels and the music streaming services, the artists are simply a cog in the money machine that can easily be replaced.
      Copyright laws are not designed to protect the artists, but to protect the financial interests of the labels and publishing companies. Dragonforce being copyright claimed for playing their own music is not a glitch in the system. It is intentional so that the labels can control when and where their music is played. Twitch is not the one to blame for this, as historically they have been one of the more permissive platforms, but the record labels have not liked that, so they are suing the shit out of Twitch until Twitch bans all people using copyrighted content - hence the current situation. UA-cam on the other hand has played by the rules of the record labels for the most part, so they are allowed a bit more leeway to manage the situation themselves.

    • @gregziel

      @@BambiTrout Ah gotcha still wish there was a solution to be able to play music but I guess not. Only think I could think of would be something similar to watch parties that is a twitch extension where you can sync up music through your spotify/tida/apple music/etc... accounts to listen along with the streamers and essentially use your account to sync up with the streamer to the song they are listening to but who knows if that would ever happen. Just food for thought kinda idea to get the same result so the music never has to go on the twitch recording. But at this point it's whatever. it is what it is.
