What are your thoughts on this? In this modern age, anyone can learn to mix a decent-sounding metal song/album if you are not lazy, because there's everything on the web, and it's not that hard... Or It's a profession, and it's just an illusion that you take a few online courses, download...

They are posers, so... 🤷‍♂️ Relax, I'm just joking... ...I don't care

had an argument with one of my guitarist friends and want to know your take on this. What is more useful to get the "best" tone and get the most variety from a recording? Recording two different speakers (with the same type of mic) or choosing one speaker and recording with two different mics...

That's one of my problems also. I am never in the mood. So I need to force myself. But then I complain that I don't enjoy it, I just NEED to do it. Writing 4 song for 1,5 year and struggeling like with a massive constipation...and stil think it worth it! 🤣

Sometimes I have the same thoughts, but or a riff, there are many variations, and also the context matters. Is it an intro, outro, chorus, verse riff, what does the drums do in the background, what's the tempo...

A big problem is that we don't know what is realistic as a hobby musician, especially as a "one-man band" bedroom solo artist. How productive should I be? As my guitar heros? As the youtuber influencer guitarists? Is it okey to just write one song per year? It would be much easier if I could...

Same here. I went to therapy because let's say my mental health is in a bad state, and it very frustrates me that can't even enjoy my hobby. It's just one more thing that I can stress about...

For me: - Putting to much pressure on myself for no reason (one-man project with no prior experience in songwriting and recording) - Be a lazy ass (not practicing -> struggling to record with a click track) - Still don't have any kind of work ethic, organizing, always procrastinating. What was...

Thanks everyone! Yes, I don't expect miracles, I read many horror stories from bad therapists. One thing is for sure, as David Lynch said, depression and suffering doesn't help creativity...

Cheers! I plan to find a therapist that could help me in a few issues. I started writing music a few years ago, but I's quit stressful for me, I don't get any joy from it and I constantly procrastinating. Also I'm not in my happiest place for a long time (divoced dad, single for 7 years, not...

I sometimes think about trying out different tunings, maybe it would inspire my songwriting. But I have only one guitar, I don't want to trouble constantly restring my guitar or moving a song on the fretboard. Also, many other instruments aren't tunable, but still can play any kind of music on...

Well my first demo is kinda ok, so I guess it's kinda enough for me. I think about myself more of as a "composer" then as a musician. It's more important for me to manifest an idea then to play perfectly.

That was a good one! 😅 I think that myself. I can get along with a sloppy trem picking to play death metal. But as I wrote to ad the "basic" death metal drums in the background, I think that requier a much more advanced player then to play basic DM riffs...

I learned to play the guitar half-assed, without going to teacher, without practiceing scales with a metronom to a level that I learned a few death metal songs, and also wrote a few I think decent songs. I'm thinking about learning the drums, but I think it's a much harder instrument and...

Hi! I just recently bought a Palmer PAN02 active DI-box. I recording through a mic, but I wanted to also record the DI, just in case my amp dies during the recording of my album. My problem is that it's very noisey. Also sometimes it makes random crackeling noise. Tried it with the Ground...

Would you suggest me some ambient songs/music? I'm not interested in one hour long drone sounds, more like were there's real instruments and some kind of structure. A few examples for creepy: I know this has a short vocal line, but it would be cool if something similar would exist without...

It's a custom made. It has a stock/FAT switch and a stock/turbo/mosfet switch, and also a clean blend pot. I can't describe the sound better as wet fart... Checked out many videos on Youtube, most of the sound cool, but mine not. Tried many settings, the most usable is a very minimum distortion...

Hi! I was never a fan of bass distortion. Most of them sound ugly, or wet fart like for my ears. And also I hate to modern "clank" sound. But this sounds great, it really has a deep growl like tone. I also have the TSE BOD Sansamp plugin, and have a RAT pedal with clean blend, but they sound...

I guess there will be more disgusting color scheme models, no simple classic looking, affordable guitars... And definitely no cool looking 7 string S models...
