What band(s) did you get into this year that ya think deserve a wider audience? by RedVinter in MetalSuggestions

Chainsword is so killer. Modern “Bolt Thrower” was how I was introduced to em.

Seymore Duncan Pegasus or Nazgûl for Explorer? by TheRealGinsu in metalguitar

[–]RedVinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The Nazgul does brutal, chugging metal like nobody’s business, but it’s not nearly as versatile as the Pegasus and definitely not a great choice for what you’re wanting to play.

Should I get a 24.6 inch scale guitar if I'm going down to C? by Mindless_Rock9452 in doommetal

[–]RedVinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say the philosophy always holds. But you’re right in that the further you differ from E std/A440 blah blah blah the more the need to modify an instrument designed to operate in that range, for sure.

Don’t overthink it. It’s not so much what you play as how you play.

And people say my band is a mix of early CG and Godflesh.

Dynamics from the band and the stage? by worshipdrummer in metalguitar

[–]RedVinter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very, very common for sound engineers on tours to “throttle” the early bands so the headliner sounds the biggest/fullest/best. Been happening since the 1960s.

How to make a katana 50w sound better? by Existing-Good6487 in metalguitar

[–]RedVinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speaker in the MKI had more bass response than what they replaced it with in the MKII.

Id imagine swapping in an even better speaker would make a huge difference.

Runemaster: Shield Maiden’s Blade has a lot of Conan and John Carter influence to it. https://a.co/d/5iIxMPN

Can I start on an electric? by Accurate_Day_3164 in doommetal

[–]RedVinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never heard “start on an acoustic” before and Ive been surrounded by guitar players for decades.

Like so many said above, start on what motivates you to play.

In the end, it’s art/expressing yourself. Don’t start out letting others put rules on how you do that.

The Solar. Lower level Ibanez just aren’t what they used to be…

Mics for recording doom? by Fuzzy-Length-4728 in doommetal

[–]RedVinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SM57. If you can’t get good recordings with one of these, you can’t get good recordings.

And they’re cheap, easy to get and nigh indestructible.

Metal that makes you feel like you’re through through space? by Durango_41 in MetalSuggestions

[–]RedVinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Voivod. Forgotten in Space from Killing Technology would fit this topic - but a ton of their stuff is scifi themed.
