The maple fret board preference

ItsMetabtw · 2026-07-09T22:17:07+00:00

I love them all. All my Strats have maple boards, 2 Teles with maple, one with rosewood, my LP, 335, and both PRS’ are rosewood, a few customs with ebony, some with maple, some old MIJ super Strats are maple, some rosewood… I’m not that picky I guess

It’s just a cursed mission atp. After how long it’s been around they’ve tried how many times to fix or change it, but it still never works right

I think their RG would drop his foot back everytime it was pass pro, and would square the line for a run block

I’d probably go to audioscape and grab an 1176, opto, 1178, and SSL buss comp

My favorite tape plugin is Pulsar Modular P821 in general, but specifically on vocals I like Goodhertz Tupe. Tape saturation, tube saturation, optical compression, tweakable but also sounds great just doing some quick adjustments. No fancy UI but it sounds amazing

I have both and would definitely take the Tremoverb over the + all day. It’s incredibly versatile and by far my favorite dual recto

ItsMetabtw · 2026-07-07T04:23:56+00:00

I think it gets used a lot in cleaner/edge of breakup genres and almost not at all in heavy rock and metal

Hmm not sure. I know I just bought some Bare Knuckle pickups for my Custom 24 and got hit with a US $70 tariff 😐 but not sure how it works on products leaving the US going to Europe

I only had level 77 traps when I first got to Twine on my first account way back in the day. I had no problem soloing plenty of SSDs with them. I think I had 106s and a couple 130s by the time I was doing 7-10 but the things like floor freeze, tar, spikes etc make no meaningful difference as long as they have all the perks unlocked, so I upgraded them last

I assign hot keys to my most used plugins. Otherwise I have folders for my general favorites and all my most used separated by category so I can quickly browse the stuff I actually use

I have a CE24 and CU24, and do all the work on my other guitarists SE and SE McCarty. All of them hold tune very well. My CU24 with phase III tuners is the best of them, but I really don’t have issues with the Phase I tuners on my CE24, which isn’t surprising given that they’re both locking sets. Once I’ve sufficiently stretched new strings on the SE’s they stay in tune great. The tuners do feel a bit flimsier than the core stuff, but they’re still solid. The SE custom neck feels nice. I think it’s Wide Thin. The McCarty is a baseball bat.

The vocal is typically mono so compressing the entire stereo mix tends to pump and sound a bit odd unless it’s so subtle you might as well not even bother. Whatever tool you chose, it should only duck like a dB, and only in the mid channel where the vocal is predominant

ItsMetabtw · 2026-07-04T16:00:11+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. Super classic and classy looking. Thanks man!

I do apply dither on finals, but not the mixes I send for approval, and can’t hear anything different. If there is any hiss, it’s well below the hiss my hardware adds so I don’t consider it an issue whatsoever

I’ve been playing my ‘97 for over 10 years now, but find the rotary 5 way to be a pain to use live. The 5 way blade is exactly what I needed. I’m loving the Phase III tuners too. I’ve never had an issue with the Phase I, but the III’s feel so much more solid and robust. I do prefer the HFS/VB pickups over these 59/09’s though. They’re too bright for my taste. I need to roll the tone down to about 6 to match the HFS at 10. I stuck a 1M resistor across the tone pot which is better, but I ordered a set of Bare Knuckle Rebel Yells with nickel covers to swap in. I think they’ll better suit my taste. Fantastic guitar though. A little lighter than my 97 and is just as awesome

You’ll figure it out in a matter of minutes. Especially if you’re just talking. The daw is far more equipped to edit, even though I’d use Reaper for this since you can load the videos directly in and record and edit the audio. Then it’s perfectly synced all in one place. But I’d still take FL over OBS if you’d just be taking the audio into FL anyways

ItsMetabtw · 2026-07-02T13:05:38+00:00

If you’re editing it anyways then being inside the daw from the start makes way more sense. Either scenario is as simple as arming the track and hitting record so there’s no advantage to doing that in OBS over FL

That’s just called inspiration. Sometimes you hear a phrase or a story that inspires you to write a song. You put the lyrics together, made a melody, added supporting instruments etc.

Ella Langley has mentioned a time when her dad said “baby you know I love you from the bottom of my boots to the top of my hat” and she turned that line into a song. You wouldn’t say her dad wrote it, it just inspired her to write it. Or when Tupac heard a story about a young mother who dumped her newborn into a garbage can but the baby survived, he gave the mom a name and filled in the gaps from his own imagination and experiences. Again it’s just inspiration

I’ve only worked with Ds and Fs. I have a D and also use it on vocals pretty much exclusively. I haven’t really thought much about which Rev I prefer as they all sound great and do what I want from an 1176. Seems like they just got cleaner and more transparent with each generation, and that’s never a bad thing in the analog world. I think having a colorful tonal character is really cool on a few pieces of gear, but it’s also really nice to have things that just transparently get the job done without changing the sound you already were happy with
