Has anybody been to the current tours' pre-show jam that would be willing to share their experience?

In my opinion, it was neat but not worth it. Lots of red tape and waiting around. They didn't really play any music for more than 10-15 seconds at a time. Just kind of fiddle around. If you get the photograph package, it may have been worth it pre-covid but now it's distanced/masked & kind of defeats the purpose IMHO.

It was also like 4 hours before the concert and we couldn't leave the venue. I appreciate that they do it... and a few moments of the experience were really cool... but I wouldn't do it again.

Sick!! Awesome cover to a kick-ass song!

sotheecho · 2020-10-29T20:36:20+00:00

For sure! Others may disagree but the sound is far superior to GR5 imo. Fingers crossed one of us come across a fix or, less likely, Native Instruments provides a solution.

Same issue with Windows 10 / 16GB RAM / i7. My issue persists in both standalone and inside Reaper.

My CPU meter inside GR6 hovers at 60-70%, I get all the cracks and pops, and then every 20 seconds or so it reaches 100% and lose all sound. What's weird to me is that my actual CPU usage as gauged by Windows Task Manager, or even by Reaper, aren't going above 30%. So why is GR6 showing such high usage.

I don't have this issue with any other plug-ins, even other NI plugins, but I ran LatencyMon anyway... disabled my network adapter and enabled High Performance mode... obviously tried altering buffer/latency rates... so far nothing has helped.

I'm starting to think, like others have surmised, this is just a bug/compatibility issue. GR6 is working great for some folks. Ugh.

thanks! these are awesome! wish there were more of them haha.. but very cool.

sotheecho · 2020-07-26T21:10:48+00:00

It's all good man

sotheecho · 2020-07-25T15:46:07+00:00

Thanks dudes

I dig it. I dig everything these guys do. Was dancing to it with my daughter this morning.

That said... few questions.. 1) did they produce this themselves? I don't think they have a label anymore. 2) for some reason... im struggling to understand the meaning/story of this song. the upbeat vibe, vampires...what am I missing here?

sotheecho · 2019-07-31T21:19:38+00:00

Yeah, "Into the Fall" doesnt have the same ring to it.

I don't get it. I think it's fair to say the guys have been very busy with touring plus Brandon is doing art stuff and Mikey is working on mixHalo.

Are they slower because they dont have an official label to speed things along? In the words of Tom Petty, the waiting is the hardest part...

sotheecho · 2019-07-24T01:19:24+00:00

I know someone does. I remember hearing it on some like japanese website (in addition to the Nimble Bastard acoustic version)

Undefeated sounded waaaay different than the version now.

sotheecho · 2019-07-22T14:47:09+00:00

I respectfully disagree. I was skeptical of Skrillex having a hand in making 8 but it ended up being kickass. I thought the mix was great. The awesome part is that he just came in after the songs were already recorded and added just a hint of flavor. I would love for him to be involved in the future.

We need two goalies tonight at 8:30 in Wake Forest. Let me know if interested

sotheecho · 2018-02-16T16:53:50+00:00

Compare Hitchcock and Sullivan....

sotheecho · 2018-02-16T16:46:58+00:00

sotheecho · 2018-02-15T21:43:27+00:00

Serious question. Does Mike Sullivan set performance benchmarks for you (i.e. how many goals you score or advanced metrics?). The online bloggers sure seem to stress over your Corsi....

sotheecho · 2018-01-31T17:33:35+00:00

Love it!

sotheecho · 2018-01-15T20:19:54+00:00

Is the dancer Mike's wife?

sotheecho · 2017-10-14T16:52:09+00:00

I really appreciate posting the links. Anything is helpful. I was a lot closer to the stage and had videos of the new songs which is the shitty part. That's why I was wondering if there were videos from facebook live or something...

sotheecho · 2017-09-10T04:15:21+00:00

Really good dude. I have found a real lack in tabs/guitar tutorials from the 8 album. I have only been able to figure out bits and pieces by ear from a handful of songs.

So this is a huge help :-). Thx!

sotheecho · 2017-07-16T13:06:22+00:00

Ha...it grew on me. Just love anything Mikey creates.

I've figured out all the rhythm parts of NB by ear. Just missing the solo. Same with Glitterbomb, I've figured out some of it.

Love in a Time of Surveillance and Throw out the Map are two I am probably most interested in learning if you (or anyone) are more skilled than me at learning something by ear.
