      Even if it's a sound by Helix and some plug-ins, wonder how to create this sound by amp-rig plus fat cabinet.
      What about some pics of your live rig and gear 😉?

    Badass and humble bass player. Nicolai reminds me of Jerry Cantrell from AIC. After watching the Live from the Pool gig I was impressed about how important his backing vocals within the wall of sound he builds with Asger. Hats off, you guys are incredible!

    You can hear how well you and Adam fit together in the chorus on this one, you've got these bass-driven lines during the verses and then they drop back into letting the soaring guitars, keys and vocals lead for the chorus but underneath that is this perfectly on point rhythm section keeping it all moving underneath. Great to see it highlighted in this playthrough.

      @aidanoneill8884 3 роки тому +1

      @drumkidstu 3 роки тому

      This is the meshuggah thing that vola pulls off excellently. Rather than tuning the bass an octave lower where you really loose out on it's frequencies, you tune it in unison with the downtuned 7 or 8 string guitar. Your ear than fills in the gaps between the two subconsciously and it becomes just a massive sound.
