The Digital Doubt

[KingsXJJ]

Thank you for asking.

Jimi Hendrix was my door into guitar. And when I listened to him, I never really thought about the gear he was using. All I knew then was "Fender" and that was it.

The Deluxe was the first amp in Helix where I was happy with the sound I was getting. So I got the York IR.

I now use a Super Reverb with either a 4x12 Greenback or a 4x10 Tweed P10R

Do you mean this one, by the way?

Are you playing densely packed post-metal music

Uhh, no. What even is "densely packed post-metal music?" I get zip on the phrase in a web search.

in general when I'm micing up a guitar cab, I am micing up for a specific context.

The handful of sessions I did back in the day were all in "specific contexts," but I was never the producer or engineer. I did on occasion provide input about mic choice and placement, and my recommendations were generally well-received. Whether the music was "densely packed," I really can't say (it was definitely "pre-metal," however). There were at times multiple guitars, along with drums, acoustic piano, and various electronic keys.

My Bloody Valentine would sound very different with different mic positions.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR VALENTINE!?

Uhh, no. What even is "densely packed post-metal music?" I get zip on the phrase in a web search.

For example:


The band features 3 guitarists (one of them doubling as a synth player for half the time) and a bass, as well as drums and shouty vocals. You'll hate it. But this is what I mean - densely packed.

Video link appears broken to me. Band and song name please?

ISIS - So Did We. In fact that entire album - Panopticon - is very dense and textured. The guitar tones are amazing. A lot of Boogie Triaxis on there as I understand it.

There's a surprise: A Swede rambling about how great Volvo is... Next up: The story about how the end of Saab is the greatest loss to the automobile industry in the history of mankind...

SAAB! As a car company it’s a very romantic story and it’s very deeply rooted and important. Yes… they tried to keep the car side alive for way too long… sad… but in the end the last 15 years of it was dead anyway. SAAB vs Volvo regarding cars, SAAB was always considered a little controversial.

But oth SAAB Scania as an industry leader in several other areas… cool stuff!

Fuck IKEA!!!!!!

Also, the internet is such a weird place.

Here we might meet a nurse who is just hooking up her guitar in her Helix and having a discussion with a sound enigeer, who is having a discussion with a studio session artist who is having a discussion with a touring musician.

So who is right, right.

You have to decide which one of those hats to wear, then seek advice more in that direction. Or just wing it.

 

[FuzzyAce]

You must know me a little bit and realized I was going to York right away

I wish I could take credit, but it was probably the algo (luck).

We shall ride into battle at the gates of hell with this playing…

Short summary.

@DrewJD82 asked a question. This forum has at least 2 people with diagnosed ADHD. So we went of rails for 13 pages. Then @DrewJD82 brought the subject back. Then Volvos where discussed and now I am also clueless where we are at.

Getting some web filter blockage from the band that regrets it's name the most

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Are they like a far less catchy Tool? Or like a more pensive Neurosis? Never dug it as it was a band I was too dumb for

 

[spawnofthesith]

This is an ISIS thread now

 

[Whizzinby]

One does not google “Isis is awesome” unless behind seven proxies.

Some people claim ITAOT is a tool worship album but I don't really agree

It is my favourite ISIS album. Then Panopticon. Then Wavering Radiant. Then Oceanic.

But really, I'm clutching at straws. I fucking love everything they've done.
