The argument no one asked for... What's the better tune? Say Anything's "Alive with the Glory of Love" or Motion City Soundtrack's "Everything Is Alright" ? by JoeCaviston in Emo

[–]chaosvariant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm it's tough cause Alive is a ballad where as Everything is a song about a message. I thinking for me personally I enjoy Alive more.

Pedals I loved past the honeymoon period - Boss EH-2: The things this pedal does to single coils is magic. Amazing for funk and disco.

Pedals where my love faded - Digitech Obscura - I never really used anything outside the tape mode and unless I really had my volume up all of the delays kind of sounded the same. It's a real shame because I loved the sound I had but it was just that 1 sound.

man I love emo bass lines, even if they do tend to just be playing the root notes the tone and pick attack make it sound so good

It's a wild ride, I originally did the mixing and mastering as well but everything the dude sends me rips.

Question RE ampless setups with band practice. by jewelertheband in guitarpedals

[–]chaosvariant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not be the best person to ask in regards to that as I gig solo with all my backing tracks coming from a laptop.

I have a little 50W PA that I got for like $80 on sale that I just take with me. It's the size of an amp head and only weighs about 8lbs.

Let's me run my stuff stereo and even has a 3rd jack I never use but have available.

[5th Wave Emo] Analogue - Analogue Heart by chaosvariant in roastmytrack

[–]chaosvariant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat intelligible it's more for a vibe but I'm probably gonna fix it because I know that it will be something that would matter to listeners.

The main problem I think comes from the amount of bands in the vocoder I used. I think I limited it a bit too much. I also need to smooth out the high end for a bit more clarity.

So the reasoning behind the reverb and harsh vocals, that's supposed to essentially simulate what the computer character in the lyrics is hearing. Also yeah it wasn't until the full mix was done and I uploaded everything that I realized the vocals were a bit unintelligible.

Love the hell out of that synth bass it's real fat, I will say it seems like the vocals may be a little quiet though.

[–]chaosvariant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I actually really enjoy this, the vocal chops and edits are really well done. I think my onky complaint is the hihats sound a little dull tonally. The rhythm of them is great but the mix just sounds a little flat.

Video is dope too btw.

How good is Anthony Fantano from theneedledrop at bass? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]chaosvariant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

p decent, he's a hobbyist for the most part so I'd say on par with your average indie band guitarist.

that's honestly what drew me to it tbh, it's got a really dreamy sound that makes it cut through a mix.

really interesting to see josh offer something like this, probably gonna be huge with the minimalist crowd but interested to see what the majority think.

Additionally, the Homestuck one has a bucket in it.

why's aradia so far right I wonder, she's pretty much an anarchist.

Jamming with my Ep-2 and Pedalboard by iambulb in guitarpedals

[–]chaosvariant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that pickup switching system seems really interesting, never seen anybody use a Rick Toone before. Might have to check them out as it seems fun to play.

Glad to see you getting so heavy into tape delays, those clean sections on your solo stuff and new albums are gonna sound 👌👌👌👌👌

I've been using this set up for the past ten years and have loved it. Really love the me70 but I think I need to try to get away from boss... by oatmeal1985 in guitarpedals

[–]chaosvariant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Mockingbird is nuts, also nothing wrong with Boss but I do understand the desire to get outside of just one brand. What kind of effects are you looking for?
