Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

[paisleywookiee]

You've clearly not explored Mr. Bungle's catalog.

Eh, guilty. I like FNM, but Mr. Bungle never captured my attention.

Man, I unapologetically love Cake. That band put out banger after banger.

Their guitar player is really good too - a rare example of a rock player who doesn't hide behind overdrives, let alone distortion.

Yup, they’re great. As a trumpet player, I loved it.

Pretty nasty video for sure.

Some YouTubers I really dig
Leon Todd , Paul from Studio rats , Guitar Jon ( I want to steal his riffs )

The one that irks me the most is band critics and people giving their reviews
I don’t think I have ever seen anything so narcissistic
To play no instrument have 0 musical talent and to think that there are people out there waiting to hear your opinion on John Petrucci and a new DT track
Sadly somehow they have a audience

Will the next helix editor support offline preset editing/creation/management?

Cheers!

That'd actually be quite cool for some situations.

Pretty nasty video for sure.

Some YouTube rando with 100 views who, somehow, popped up in my suggestion feed.

I don't think his channel's going to blow up guys.

What do you think all of thes roboplegic roncock Kemper owners are doing?!

Living large in a monochrome utopia.

 

[molul]

Better ask these guys.

Ah, long time not listening to this cover of Depeche Mode's "Sea of sin".

I liked those guys, but this was quite a non-acknowledged rip off xD

@Digital Igloo

I know I've probably missed it in the hundreds of pages of posts between the two Helix threads now, but do you expect a redesign of HXEdit?

Do you mean the Helix Stadium desktop app that is the first development that will come after the 2 flagships?

 

[Frodebro]

I thought it was mentioned in a recent video that the Stadium didn’t really sound like Line 6 tones they were accustomed to.

Or am I misremembering and it referred to feel?

I still stand by what I said, because my confidence in Line 6 amp modeling is solid. I know it won’t sound like Helix or Fractal, but I also know it’s going to be at least as good as what they’ve already done. Like @Digital Igloo said, not better or worse but different

 

[KingsXJJ]

I can’t disagree with this.

 

[Digital Igloo]

Oh, YouTube.
Never change

Haaahaaa! He totally deleted a bunch of my posts on that video. And I was WAY more polite than you'd expect me to be.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar

I saw Cake at an outdoor venue in Nashville this spring. I’m not a superfan or anything but they put on a good show and we had fun.

Played Short Skirt / Long Jacket in a cover band on bass and that was one of my favorites in the set.

 

[sashimi]

Im no Cake super fan either but they have always been great. A truly unique band with their own sound. Many bands you can kinda say they’re trying to sound like or are clearly influenced by X band. But Cake are really their own thing.

 

[spawnofthesith]

I absolutely love cake but the only time I saw them live we walked out. Idk if that’s supposed to be the singers schtick or if he was having some sort of episode but it was absolutely terrible vibes from him and his ranting and raving between songs


A lot of the hippie jamband folks I know turned on cake too after some meltdown he had on stage at All Good festival some years back as well


Real shame as I have consistently loved their music from childhood to now. I don’t think I’d spend money on another cake ticket though

 

[spawnofthesith]

I will absolutely continue to be “going the distance” and rocking out to their albums tho

In today's world, where artists rely on touring and merch sales to make a living, it's generally not a good idea to turn your audience off with rants and meltdowns. There are some big names that still do it, but everybody knows who they are and what to expect. Plus, they made their fortunes before the industry crashed so they don't have the same financial needs as the younger acts.

Ah did not know that was them I always thought their stuff was very Beck inspired it was kind of that abstract spoken word alternative

And just to clarify, it wasn’t political or anything in this case… just very very weird (in a bad way) and supremely negative energy

Ha have never made that comparison before but totally see that now that you mention
