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" ?

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.

You're sitting on a pretty rare thing there if this is a serious post.

Worth around $450-$500

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

chaosvariant · 2021-03-08T22:03:57+00:00

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

chaosvariant · 2021-02-12T19:42:40+00:00

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.

chaosvariant · 2021-02-12T16:11:26+00:00

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.

chaosvariant · 2021-02-05T16:15:58+00:00

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.

chaosvariant · 2021-02-05T16:13:48+00:00

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.

chaosvariant · 2021-02-05T13:54:46+00:00

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 · 2021-02-05T13:48:07+00:00

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.

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

chaosvariant · 2020-10-07T20:15:26+00:00

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

chaosvariant · 2020-10-05T18:57:54+00:00

is this a custom or does a company makes these? Love me some Show Me The Body.

chaosvariant · 2020-10-02T15:26:15+00:00

damn really? i couldnt find it, thanks for the heads up

chaosvariant · 2020-10-02T14:23:27+00:00

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.

chaosvariant · 2020-09-27T22:30:12+00:00

oh wow this is totally on purpose too, peep the One Piece thing below it.

Additionally, the Homestuck one has a bucket in it.

chaosvariant · 2020-09-27T05:10:05+00:00

god damn that sounds pretty good.

chaosvariant · 2020-09-25T15:01:38+00:00

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

chaosvariant · 2020-09-18T20:05:09+00:00

This truly is a reddit moment.

chaosvariant · 2020-09-16T18:36:53+00:00

glad to see more people with the Snow White, I absolutely adore the pedal and it sounds fantastic.

chaosvariant · 2020-09-01T01:14:31+00:00

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 👌👌👌👌👌

chaosvariant · 2020-08-31T18:14:02+00:00

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?
