remember when i sent that group text to a bunch of peeps who all turned out to be at keith's just saying 'warts'

it auto corrected from 'wasup'

Nice.

Oh, and have you learned whatever lesson you were supposed to learn?

i haven't gone back up to edinburgh yet, got something to talk to my supervisor about in an hour or so.

I want to learn that lesson :(

Also: these things are actually really hard to source:

I've decided that instead of trying to fix my crybaby's power jack I'm just going to cheat and run one of those. And the other one is for my big muff.

[QUOTE=Sad But True;18468611]Yeah the deal looks sweet and with it being an actual shop rather than a web based shop I'd be more inclined to trust them.[/QUOTE]

Gah. Im still unsure if i can be arsed with a floating trem. Its a pain in the arse if i want change tunings or play live. Id have to block it off or get a tremol-no or something.

IIRC can't you switch the ZR trem between full floating and dive only? If you have it in dive-only mode you don't get any of the drawbacks (can't change tunings, etc) that floating bridges have.

Yeah it can be changed to a floating trem, i wasnt sure if that affected how easy it was to drop tune live etc.

Sup lods? Havn't been here in a while.... project's still going to shit. Writing up the thing as hopeful damage control.

Not played guitar in ages either, was really hoping to make more recordings for you guys :(

New Between the Buried and Me makes me wet.

Trivial to DIY, just heatshrink everything properly.

I would do but I just used my last 9v battery clip to fix my Big Muff.

My love for BTBAM has dwindled with each album. Loved Alaska, Really liked Colors, Misdirect was pretty cool, this new one is just sounding like the same old formula. In fact, almost every riff and section in that song in the link reminds me of another BTBAM track. The clean breakdown about 3 mins is basically the start of Swim To The Moon.

so i came across this dicking around on youtube

PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH. DO IT.

working on my triplet rasgueado atm

fucking strumming with the thumb is weird as shit

I have no idea what that means but I assume that it's classical guitar/really complicated.

downstroking with the thumb?

it's a technique that originates from flamenco guitar, involves stroking the strings with the back of your nails in an extensor movements outward one after the other.

sexy

[QUOTE]downstroking with the thumb?[/QUOTE]it's like a spanish thing all strummy and shit

I've had to practice it, and I'm still quite new to it too. Hard for me especially cause my pinky fingers are curved, and I've neglected developing some dexterity in both of them.

Going to attempt to get some sleep without prescription assistance. Mainly because I've ran out and haven't changed doctors properly yet. This is my playlist I've made to while away the wee hours.

There's some shit and probably too much Oceansize but if it gets me to sleep YAY.

goo0d night sleeping to all that angst and wirey tension

Listen to Bass Communion, it's fantastic for when you're trying to go to sleep.

i'm doing a piece in a couple of months and one of the sections has a fast 9/8 feel to it but very quiet so i wanna do it with light strumming close to the bridge, the best way i know of to get the sound i want is with a flamenco technique in which you strum up with the thumb, down with the middle finger and down with the thumb again and again and again. i only want to precisely hit three strings every strum very quietly so it's taking a lot of practice, i don't usually use rasgueado techniques in my playing.

Good god I've just tried to do that at speed without a guitar and my hand went all lol no on me.

it's a good technique to learn even if only for exercising the extensor muscles

Just spent the last day or so mixing real drums for the first time. It's harder with all the mic bleed and stuff but the results are much better.

now compress the balls off of it

Haha, I have sort of, parallel compression is the tits.

Yesh, Mic bleed is horrible. I'd say it's the number 1 reason samples are used.

gota use the right mics the right ways but theres always bleed

a lot of tracks now have mixed both live and sampled drummies

theres a few plugins out there that can detect the transient points and make the ease of samples a helluva lot easier for drums

i spend weeks on sample drums to try and get them sound half real, ya cant beat the live ones

I'm properly winging it. My toms and kick have a sample running at the same time at about 30% mic, and my drummer uses a dedicated set of open hats which is coming through like a bitch on my floor tom track.

Would the Lod like to hear a super rough version of one of the tracks?

put up, lets see what you're pitching

Be gentle, there's no vox or layers and only one (shitty) guitar tone because I couldn't be arsed to wait for my singer to track his bits.
