    Gibson Baritone Pickup Recommendations

    Hi Guys - I recently acquired one of these used: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/epiphone-les-paul-standard-baritone-guitar And I'm finding the stock Epiphone pickups really spongy. Any thoughts on passive pickups for the dense Les Paul body and baritone tuning? I might just bite the...

    Here's another quick one on chord inversions again. This time just talking about voicing different chords in left and right guitars and how to write nice keyboard pads to make a song sound bigger and wider. There's a joke in there somewhere I'm sure... I'm happy to see a small niche finding...

    Pop Djent Mix - Drop F#, Keyboards, etc.

    Pop Djent Mix - Drop F#, Keyboards, etc.

    Looking for some feedback on this. In particular on the snare. Trying to get a good drum template setup for the rest of this project. Guitars need to be reamped and bass is still VI. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ah68oinqm80l45n/04_IRRESISTABLE.mp3?dl=0 EDIT: long time coming but here's the final...

    Chugstep - Drop F + Dubstep Samples is apparently br00tal

    Messing around a bit the other day with some dubstep/EDM samples I've been collecting. Blended with acoustic kit, cymbals and rooms. Kinda gives it a tech feel without being overly fake sounding. Something fun to try if you're doing really low djenty stuff.
