Hey Guys, in case anyone still checks this forum: Big news: Dismantling Devotion, Lost to the Living and A Frail Becoming are all going to be reissued on gorgeous deluxe double vinyl by Spinefarm/Candlelight on October 6, 2017. Spinefarm has also put together shirt/vinyl combos which feature...

Hey guys, I figured I'd post this here for old times sake but I apologize for the spam if you don't know me or Daylight Dies. My band released 3 records for Candlelight records between 2006 and 2012. I detailed the recording of those records here in the forums during that time. Spinefarm has...

I honestly think people are just trying emulating what they like. It's I understand what you're saying but I wouldn't get too moralistic about it. I doubt the guys in whatever bands you're talking about are trying to be unoriginal. Rather, they're just emulating what they like and going from...

Theses are exactly my sentiments. Such a great player and a great dude.

Thanks for doing this. It's pretty interesting to hear since I've never lined all of these up.

It kind of seems like you already have your mind made up for strings. As far as clean sections go, if you use appropriate technique for the section it should be fine. At worst, raise the action a bit and go back and re-record those parts with a lighter right hand.

I don't think the lo riders have any more tension but rather are simply stiffer. I've used pro steels for a long time and when I tried the DR's (low riders and black beauties) they didn't work as well for me. I found them more expensive, less bright and shorter lived. Mind you they were good...

I'm really stoked they're working with a great producer but there isn't really much to talk about at this point.

I found the krank line really fun but temperamental as a whole. In a studio environment they're a killer option. Live the interactivity between volume, eq and distortion can be frustrating.

There is a base line cost where you start to get better quality parts and thus better stability (and arguably better tone) but once you get over that hump there are all sorts of gems to be found in the low end and dogs to be found at the top of the market. I own some dumb expensive instruments...

It sounds like a bass big muff to me. I'd try whatever fuzz emu's you have at your disposal and work from there.

The JB is awesome. The only (metal) guys who hate them are the diehard EMG guys. The JB is looser in the low mids than the 81 but also has a different high mid texture.

I always understood him to like quad tracking but don't hold me to that.
