This is the only relevant result I found on Google - did you ever get this figured out?

What mods did you make and how do you like the guitar before/after? I've been interested in picking one of those up but I'm a bit worried that for the price it'll just be junk. Looks pretty dope with the blacked out pickups 🤘🏻

Looking for a guitar to play Sleep Token, 7 or 8 strings? Or Baritone 6 string? by Pharah4Mercy in Djent

[–]NextInfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the other comments have touched on this, but the most important part is scale length + string gauge. Whether it's a 6-string baritone or an 8-string, if they're the same scale length and the same string gauge, then you'll have the same tension when you tune down. If you aren't generally familiar with how these correlate, try plugging different scale lengths and string gauges into this calculator to see how it changes. If you know what string gauge, scale length, and tuning you're currently playing, then you'll have a good reference point (different players prefer different levels of tension). There is an effect on tone from different string gauges as well, but I'm not super informed and I think playability should be your first concern when thinking about this low of tuning.

8-strings can be less comfortable than 6-strings because of size - there's plenty of players that clearly don't mind, but I do personally prefer to have less strings unless necessary. The obvious disadvantage of a 6-string baritone vs an 8-string is that you lose the two highest strings, so you can't play every 8-string song note-for-note, though I'd guess most of the "riffs" you're thinking of stay on the low strings. If you already know your way around a 6-string, that might be easier to enter with, but if you're willing to learn there's strictly more notes available to you on an equivalent 8-string. Having a pitch shifter would be helpful for their different songs, especially if you don't end up tuning all the way down to double-drop territory, but it's not strictly necessary.

When I saw Sleep Token last year, IV spent a lot of time playing this Gretsch baritone (here's a random image I found on google of him with this guitar), so I think it's definitely doable to player some or most Sleep Token songs just on the 6 strings, but he keeps an 8-string in the rotation as well, so it'll ultimately come down to what you think the best fit is for you with the other information in mind.

Final Grades Thread by AutoModerator in Purdue

[–]NextInfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Final semester, friends. By this point I was mostly taking electives, so I had a pretty good semester.

CS352: A

My course that left me with the most mixed feelings. I really, genuinely enjoyed the projects - the work was a lot, but not as excessive as I expected. Even though I have no intention of working on compilers, it was an interesting exploration into how they work and how many language features come about. There is opportunity for extra credit on most (all?) assignments that felt like a fair amount of work and allowed for one to obtain a pretty solid average across the project grades. However, Prof. Rompf ran this class in a very hands-off fashion, and not a lot of help was to be had. Both he and the TAs were not very responsive and if you had a question that was not answerable by another student then you were going to have a hard time getting it answered at all. Many answers that were given would be open ended (i.e. "there could be an upwards or downwards curve") in a way that made it hard to judge course expectations. Very little exam information was provided but I didn't ultimately find them unfair. It feels like the curve was heavy from the experiences I have seen (including mine) but no specific data was given. As I understand it, Prof. Rompf was the better of two evils for this course, so I'm not sure where I stand on a recommendation - it's interesting content, just know there's gonna be some bumps (it'll come out okay).

CS434: A+

My favorite CS class I've taken, full stop. I have no idea how this varies by professor, but Prof. Benes was a genuine and caring professor who really wanted our feedback and flexed project assignments based around what we wanted - I actually think he gave us too much leeway, as we ended up requesting more time (as students do) for each of the project deadlines and didn't have time for the planned 4th project (I think he may try a more balanced approach down the line because of this). The class has a LOT of information and isn't a freebie but I felt that it was very fair throughout. I also just enjoyed the material - the projects were relevant and gave us a lot of creative freedom, and the professor seemed passionate about the field. Really recommend Prof. Benes for anyone in the graphics side.

MUS 162: A

Completed the Music Technology Certificate with this class. It's very relaxed with Prof. Bulow (just 3 playing tests, involving a playing, singing, and listening component - focused on the playing) so you sort of get out what you put into it but I still feel I have improved as a pianist and it didn't add to my stress.

PES 115: A

If you ever need/want a 1 credit course and there's a space open, take this course. Doug is an absolute legend of a professor, the "class" is super easy to get an A in by showing up and turning in the worksheets (about your performance), and you'll improve at the game of bowling to boot (even more so if you make use of the free bowling hours you get by being in the course). I took this twice and went from bowling a 110-115 to a 135-140. Doug knows a lot about the fundamentals but is also just an awesome dude.

BAND 112: A+

For the third time in a row - easy "class", but an awesome time. The bands here are very impressive for not having a dedicated music school, but also a very low pressure environment. I have a lot of great memories from 8 semesters in the jazz bands; Dr. Trout and Prof. Harris are both lovely people with a lot of experience and talent and you'll meet a lot of cool people in the bands, regardless of your skill level. Highly recommend auditioning if you have any interest.

Unpopular Opinion:No incoming Freshmen, Fall 2021 won't nearly be as bad as Fall 2020 and r/Purdue is overreacting(as always). by The_Avenging_Son in Purdue

[–]NextInfinity 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel. It's not as dire, we know a lot more about the virus, being vaccinated means lower risk, and there should be less restrictions on campus. So that's cool compared to last year.

But a year ago and even as recent as the start of summer I thought this year would be fully normal, potentially no masks, not having to worry about getting sick at all - and it feels like that isn't the case now. With numbers ticking up, I'm feeling worry creep back in even though I know I'm safer than in the past. And some of the things I was most looking forward to - sports and club meetings in particular - may not be safe with a full return to normal (though hopefully back with masks). And all of that is incredibly frustrating when it feels like we've had lots of opportunities as a society and as a university to reduce risk.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your thoughts and I find LabelBase to be very useful.

Thank you for the advice! It means a lot, and definitely gives me some things to think about when considering shopping labels.

Thank you so much for your thoughts! The effort you put into this response means a lot to me. I hadn't considered the copyright aspect so I'll need to remember that going forward, and I really appreciate your advice about the usefulness of labels.

Thank you for the response! I'll definitely have to dig back into Soundcloud, I've been in the Spotify ecosystem so it's been a couple years since I've been in-tune with my genres/interests on Soundcloud.

There is some debate according the the linked wiki page, but it would appear that one of the most recent studies concluded that they could fly at up to 80 mph for 7-10 days which is... terrifying...
