Yeah, I guess I'm a fag for not completely destroying the music I love so much.
Watafag, amirite?

I hate it. I can't understand how things work and I don't like how effects work. I only use it to make drumtracks, but I export the WAV files and add all effects on Audition.
Could you explain a bit how the fuck the effects (mainly EQ, compressor, noise gate and reverb) work? I got sick of trying and not getting anything like I wanted.
If found please send my way. I once downloaded Waves Diamond bundle but couldn't get it working.

bass solo, take one
wait what? Isn't it in the key of E min? and if you're talking about those 5 string arpeggios in the interlude, that's starting on a C, not on a B.
Unless you're looking at the notes literally as they would be tuned down a whole step in D standard tuning.

yes. do you honestly think its more likely that i just used your method and failed, lol
notes are notes honestly and im just used-to-being-aware-of-what-tuning-im-in. working-with-chris-as-a-keyboardist-especially. and-taking-counterpoint-class-at-college, seeing-the-notes-as-guitar-n0tes-would-be-somewhat-limiting. to-me-it-honestly-seems-like-more-work-to-think-of-the-notes-as-a-step-up-from-what-they-really-are. and-these-fabled-people-youve-mentioned-who-have-somehow-''developed''-perfect-pitch,,,-i-doubt-relying-on-geetar-notes-was-part-of-their-process

to me, it actually seems like more work to be switching the notes on the fretboard to whatever tuning you're in. as a guitarist, I think it makes more sense to just look at the fretboard as if it's in E standard the whole time (unless you're in some other form of tuning rather than a standard, like open C or something, cuz then obviously the relation of the notes on different strings would no longer be the same). So when working with Chris, you can just tell him the actual key you're in, being only one step above. But I guess we've just learned this different ways. and yeah, obviously people who've developed perfect pitch have not used such a method. those people that I know of were not even guitarists. btw, does Chris also use your method when he plays guitar? Like in a different tuning. and if so, them I'm guessing I'm going to have to switch over to your method, huh

my bands practice room, pretty bitchin' but we gotta clean it up, were always re-arranging it :/
the guy on the drums is actually the other guitarist and the guy on the guitar is actually the drummer

Well, it may make more sense at first when simply learning scales/arpeggios/etc. on a guitar, but that's only if you consider yourself a ''guitarist,'' and nothing more. A guitarist who works alone and does not use notation/scores. The way I see it, with the goals I/we-have, you'd-only-be-benefiting-yourself-to-look-at-the-actual-note-value. When-you-look-at-it-from-a-composition-point-of-view-it's-helpful-to-actually-know-the-real-''key''-youre-in,be-able-to-work-with-other-musicians-and,-well,-be-able-to-notate-officially. And-when-I'm-referring-to-notation/composition,-I'm-not-referring-to-gheyz0r-pro-5-olol.
As far as our collaborations, it's-not-a-big-deal-to-me-either-way-but-its-just-kind-of-funny-when-I-said-''in-the-key-of-D-minor''-and-you-jumped-on-me-like-'''wtffffffff no it's notttttt'' as if Eminor was the only truth that made sense in your mind.

uhhhh why are half of your posts w/ spaces and half w/o? i think the space bar thing is a lie

because i can paste spaces with ''control-V'' if i want to, but it's rather strenuous-on-my-pinky-and-makes-typing-a-lot-more-tedious,-so-if-i-start-to-type-a-decent-amount-i-will-use-hyphens

I know the way you are looking at it is actually the proper way. But I honestly thought all guitarists just look at the notes as if they are still in E standard. After all, the relation between the notes are never altered. And just out of curiousity, why would we officially notate? Are you planning on releasing a score sheet of all our music?
And I never "jumped" on you like that, haha. All I said was "wait what..." in a calm and decent manner

JUMPED ON ME
well, no, i dont plan on releasing a score sheet, but often times i will compose things on sheet music using some modal species of counterpoint...G sharp, yes yes of course. In the sense of composition, I find-that-downtuned-haxed-guitar-note-values-are-only-a-hindrance. I suppose -it-depends-on-how-you-go-about-composing. But I mean, how many composers are only-guitarists... not that many. Eh, we could argue all day.

lol, we seriously could argue all day. but I love our arguments. and nice amadeus reference thrown in there. it was like one of alexi's delicacies of pinched harmonics thrown into a sinergy interlude.
btw why the fuck is it so cold today? feels like there's snow on the mountains already. my fingers are freezing and it's hard to practice.
