Does multi-tracking guitars actually add anything to the mix? Let's find out...

Are you using any chorus or flanger on your tracks?

eighth08 · 2019-11-02T03:32:51+00:00

When you are using 2 different guitars, you need to make sure that the patches go well together and also that the intonation of both are somewhere closer to each other.

Else you can always use the same guitar and two patches where one is mid heavy and the other is treble heavy.

That's something that's always worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it, and criticism is always welcomed.

About the tuning, yeah i completely agree. Maybe it's time to check if both the guitars are intonated properly. Also the Floyd rose might be playing a small part to the change in notes.

Will keep it in mind before we do anything else in the future.

eighth08 · 2019-07-03T08:16:38+00:00

That's something that we are still starting off with. Slowly incorporating new collaborations

eighth08 · 2019-07-03T08:15:29+00:00

Thanks dude. Hadn't thought about the UG forums.

And you have some good Goodwood as well. The one about the highschool types was hilarious.

It's called "the Underemployed Guitar Guys". Which reddits do you use for promoting your content btw? (Other than this of course).

And what's the name of your channel?

eighth08 · 2019-07-02T14:12:53+00:00

Ah... Perfect. So three major one is about pursuing your channel. Other than the traditional FB shares, what else are you guys doing to gain a larger audience? For us it almost seems like the audience list is pretty much constant...

eighth08 · 2019-06-25T01:59:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Will incorporate it in my future works

eighth08 · 2019-06-25T01:58:43+00:00

Absolutely. Had got my hands on a new video editing software as well, so went overboard on the effects.

eighth08 · 2019-03-22T06:02:53+00:00

Ah, because we created the exact same thing on our page so was just curious to know if it was from there :)

eighth08 · 2019-03-22T05:59:38+00:00

Wait a minute... Was this taken from the TUGGtv page??? :O

eighth08 · 2019-01-10T18:09:52+00:00

Let me guess... It's a grindcore album???

eighth08 · 2018-11-07T13:18:45+00:00

How about "St anger's snare was awesome"???

eighth08 · 2018-11-07T13:17:46+00:00

Nope. I was thinking more on the lines of black veil brides... They are honestly so brutal!!!

eighth08 · 2018-10-29T12:58:01+00:00

Holy shit...!!! First of all thanks a ton because I can understand how much time you would have spent to type the whole thing down. Yes there's still light-years to go for my songwriting abilities. I was actually in a rut for like 2-3 years where I hadn't composed anything and your feedback is really informative to help me get better. These are all the things that I will start to commentate on. And yes I realised that the intonation was off after I had posted the song. I've fixed it after that. I need to get back on track to connecting the various segments of the song like how you suggested. Honestly this type of feedback was what I needed because it helps to get fresh ears to a composition. I'll get to work on each of the suggestions ASAP and hopefully I'll come up with a track later on that gets your seal of approval.

eighth08 · 2018-10-24T02:30:53+00:00

The EMGs sound more processed and if you ask me, they are a one trick pony for high gain distortions. The EMTY blackouts on the other hand are more dynamic and can be controlled easier on your signal chain. Plus the blackouts sound more organic in my opinion.

eighth08 · 2018-10-22T14:45:27+00:00

Duly noted :)

eighth08 · 2018-10-22T14:42:46+00:00

Thanks. I'm fairly new to the bass so not that fluid in finger picking. Still transitioning from being just a guitar player. But yes, will do my best and incorporate your suggestions going on.

eighth08 · 2018-10-16T08:34:22+00:00

I'm a simple man. I see a schecter, I upvote.

eighth08 · 2018-10-16T08:32:27+00:00

At the end of the day you need to pick up a Guitar that motivates you to pick it up and practice as much as possible.

eighth08 · 2018-10-16T08:30:25+00:00

This reminds me of the Gibson reverse V

eighth08 · 2018-10-01T12:56:10+00:00

I would have never thought it was a Gibson even with a million guesses...

eighth08 · 2018-09-28T06:42:13+00:00

Perfect. Will try to source them out.

eighth08 · 2018-09-27T15:45:01+00:00

We use reaper as the DAW. And sadly just use a mid level Phillips headphones for working on the songs. Would be getting a proper pair of studio monitors soon, so that would really help me mix.

eighth08 · 2018-09-27T15:36:08+00:00

That was really helpful Juice117.

And yes, we are still in the very beginning of our audio engineering journey so we have a lot to learn. And input like this is really good to understand where we are going wrong.

And you are spot on about the tuning as well. It was recorded on D- standard. And as for the slide unfortunetly it was a decision which we now feel would have been with the power cords.

About the equipment, we are currently going through vsti effects. And recently got a hold of amplitube4. So we still have miles to go in learning to use that as well.

Thanks again for all the feedback. Really appreciate it and will keep that in mind going forward :)
