    Does Opeth use auto-tune in recordings?

    I'm glad to have an intelligent (sometimes lol) forum to describe the current state in, and that consumers can understand the "learning engineer's" predicament. I'm not done learning, I've got another few terms left (most all audio classes done though), and then a few YEARS of secondhand...

    Does Opeth use auto-tune in recordings?

    Drum replacement is a touchy subject, and I see where my post gets cloudy with that. What I said with triggers still stands, they aren't used for cheating, except in extreme underground and over the top speed/death/grind blah blah blah... Shitty fuckin' metal. Drum replacement isn't reliant on...

    Does Opeth use auto-tune in recordings?

    As a studio and live engineer, let me put OFFICIAL responses into this thread. As far as autotune, is it a method to mask a voice? To make it sound way better than actuality? Does it completely destroy the vocal dynamic to crate perfection? The answer here is no. What it does is take the...

    GT 10 Patch for Lotus Eater

    I would kill for some Amplitube settings. I bet they're out there somewhere. I'd like to nab that tone to play with in lower tunings. Would be interesting in baritone on on a 7 string.

    Best and Worst Arranged Opeth Songs

    Worst = WREATH That song could be awesome, but my GOD does he drag that shit out beyond any reason. Could've done more in variation with the intro riff and repetition as well. And I've had to sit through this one 3 times live. I like it. Only, The half that isn't overly repetetive.

    Is it Just me

    One of the funnier stories to come out of that venue. My favorite, which i did happen to bear witness. Slayer, jager tour 04, dude couldn't get through the crowd to the bathroom so he took a shit in the middle of the pit because it was the only open area. Hilarious, the bouncers left him...

    Is it Just me

    I ive in Cinci. This kid got HAMMERED at a Cradle of Filth/Arch Enemy show (they both suck, hence why I wasn't there) and pulled a knife on someone. A bouncer took it from him so the kid ran at him(the bouncer) and ran right into his own knife. Cincinnati has full searches, and Columbus...

    Mikael's live quotes

    The Newport on 5-23-09 "This is Martin Mendez over here. Since we started getting bigger, his ego has gotten enormous. He told me that I had to introduce him tonight... Before every song. He also told me he is no longer Martin. He is The King Of All Bass Players." "How many of you are into...
