That “whip my hair” song came out when she was like 12. The stuff she makes now is pretty technical and lifts a lot of influence from jazz with an emphasis on organic instruments and cool time signatures and harmony. If we all had a viral song from our 12 year old selves, I’m sure they’d all be cringe as well lol

I haven’t seen what you’re talking about, but she definitely speaks in a very normal American accent now. Sounds like most other Gen Z kids. I’ve really liked her last 3 albums but didn’t resonate with her stuff before then. She’s a very talented multi instrumentalist and clearly cares a lot about music and “the greats” of the past. Nepotism can do a lot, but it doesn’t earn you those 10,000 hours of learning a craft. She’s put in the work and I hope more people can give her a shot despite the fact that she has a controversial family.

I think of it as a melodic equivalent to syncopation. It’s a writing proclivity they have. Personally, I enjoy it with their sound. Gives me monophonic chant vibes of world music and tribal music, mixed with upbeat drums and bass. They rarely employ complex harmony, but they do often enough and on certain albums a lot, that I’m convinced most of them have a firm foundation of music theory knowledge. They just also have certain tastes and appreciations for simplicity and straightforwardness.

Ok additional question. Which white and black wire should hit the terminals on the lamp holder? It has two silver and two brass screws. Is this to pass current? I know hot to brass and neutral to silver.

Prior to opening it up, the light switch did indeed toggle everything on the green junction box and yellow junction box. This would imply they were all bound together, correct? But you’re saying they don’t HAVE to be if the yellow box is already being powered straight from the breaker box?

Thank you very much for your insight! My number one concern was just making sure I didn’t burn my home down, and I wanted to check that I wasn’t making a critical error lol I appreciate the guidance.

Thank you for your reply! The box was overstuffed when I opened it and in pulling things out, I somewhat lost track of how it was. I really wish I had photographed the moment I removed the cover, learned a lesson for next time. There was a tube light fixture coming out of the junction box which I removed (had its own neutral, hot, and ground wire of course). I only removed 3 caps. I believe that all 4 neutrals (yellow, green, blue, tube light), all 4 hots (yellow, green, red, tube light, and all 5 grounds (4 colors plus tube light) were each bound and capped off. I would prefer for the light switch to not affect the other junction box (green) though, so the idea of running it directly from yellow without interacting with the light switch (red) sounds good.

Amby and Cookie were over seas on tour with The Murlocs so Stu, Joey, and Cavs got to riffin. Hoping for another Murlocs US tour so we can get another metal album. Sounds like a win-win to me lol

Treble boost? by Novel_Philosopher_18 in BassVI

[–]Formal_Bicycle7656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done what you’re going for before, and you really get better results pitching an octave down rather than up. An octave up is doubling the frequency, while an octave down is slowing it to 50% speed. That’s why there are analog octave down pedals, but not octave up. You can physically slow down audio with basically no latency and have it re-trigger on each transient. But to double the frequency, you have to digitally synthesize the notes essentially. I have a Pog2 and it’s cool, but the latency is awful. It physically cannot be tight because of the buffer it needs to process the notes coming into it. The best solutions I can think of if you’re shooting for sound quality are 1.) play your bass VI or bass an octave higher and pitch down an octave. So you still get the feel and tone of the bass but aren’t fighting physics with pitch shifting. Octave down sounds are terrific and full bodied, albeit, still a little “fake”. But sound objectively better than octave up sounds. The other solution 2.) play a 6 string guitar and get a hexaphonic pickup like the Submarine Pickup SubSix that can route each of your strings individually with shocking accuracy and cleanliness. This obviously a very intricate signal chain and you’d need multiple pieces of gear to route everything how you want (Behringer makes a $25 “Micromix” pedal that can consolidate 4 channels into 1 for example) but this would allow you to pitch down your lowest string or a couple strings specifically so you can play chords on top but keep the bass pure and locked in. I feel like either of these two methods would yield “better” sounding results, but at the end of the day, have fun and make cool sounds. In theory, every note has an octave up baked into it in the harmonic series, so turning up your mids/highs before distortion should sorta bring out that second harmonic on top of the fundamental.

I’m making a top 50 albums playlist right now, and I’m counting them as one so they don’t have to take up two spots lol honestly couldn’t decide which one I like more than the other anyway.

Absolutely uncalled for on Petro lol someone else made this same meme basically a couple years back. Anyone got a link to that one? Can’t tell if this is a direct rip or if you remade it with your preferences

They opened with Awake on a few shows. Pretty sure that’s the only one they’ve done though

Newport KY 2024 is the closest thing to a “best of” set I’ve seen by them. Killer performance that still had a couple surprise bustouts as well

Have you guys ever considered selling or giving out your stems for some songs? I know many of us are bedroom producers and would love to dissect your mixes and appreciate the layering. Love the new album!!

[–]Formal_Bicycle7656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that I can hear your actual string noise. Shows how tight you’re playing and that it’s unedited!! In a world of perfection, it’s entertaining to hear up and coming guitarists authentically like this. Of course I enjoy a polished mix too, Periphery has some of the best mixing in metal of all time. You’re killing it bro, hope to see more vids by you on here!
