This project took about 2 months (excluding time waiting for parts/tools). Completely made from scratch except for electronics & bridge. This was my first ever guitar project and it came out poorly but I learned a ton. I hope to make another in the future!
6.5K GAH DAMN
this is so fire
I want to remix
reminds me of the stuff my 1990 band did - johnny nervous and the shapeless pygmies from worcester mass... we played between boston and worcester from 1987 to 1993 - just reminds me of some of the stuff we improvised half fucked on coke and playing till 2am at ralphs chadwick square diner <3
Do you have any recordings floating around online of Johnny nervous and the shapeless pygmies from Worcester mass? (Sounds like a grindcore band name)
i had no idea this was here
so this is the best new sound
howd it turn out? sounds pretty decent
Yeah I bet, doing the fret board must have been a pain in the ass. There’s a reason they cost so much lol. Still very impressive
It's a nice decoration and I'll never play it again lol Making guitars is a tough job. There's a lot of tools and precise work that you need to do it right. I might try and make another to see if I can do better. I won't make it from scratch next time, though. I'm buying a neck.
I feel like multiband on the master of the track, and on the drums it is too much. Yes, it makes it “sound clean." But then we're running into the issue of the track not being able to breathe through clearly, and unstable dynamics. That's a really huge issue that AT has with its multiband; It's complete shit for a master effect. The kicks feel too compressed going through its own multiband, then into another one. I also advise to not use the limiter. It only limits the track by DB, not in LUFS.
Here's a happy inbetween I found in the studio; setting the gravity on a smaller limiter (about 20-25 ratio, 0ms attack, 50ms release and about 3 dB gain reduction...) I've left the audiotool limiter on to reduce some of the distortion, but that's all to taste. rms I just left at default 5ms. I think the multibands are still needed to squish the bass and kick together ( I grew up with Joey Sturig's work, I can't help myself) but I've taken each down to about 3dB gain reduction for hi transients
Yes, they are different measurements, and it's still enough to make your track clip. I'm not saying clipping is bad, I am saying it is not a true limiter. You're better off with peak compression with the gravity than the limiter on the master output. The premise of my feedback was that it feels too compressed. Maybe the feedback doesn't apply to you, and that is okay. A lot of what I said could be considered miniscule. And perhaps it is. I just wanted to share my thoughts. Duces.
dB and LUFS are measurements. That's like saying I'm running a shorter distance because i measured in metrics. It is mixed properly and then staged through a pretty standard and pretty gentle chain by modern standards. I don't want to shoot down your advice altogether, though. Remix is open if you want to take a closer look and see if you can clean it up some!
The transients of the kick and guitar chugs are being squashed by the 2 multibands, and making them harsher in different places. The majority of the people who put them on the master only do it so their track doesn’t clip, and to make it more ‘airy’ or a quick fix. And while that may be the case at the time, it is also really inefficient for that purpose. You could instead mix everything properly, and get away with no compressors on the master, but to have them on individual buses instead.
im stealing this thank you
Dreams crushed
HA! got em
use the samples you coward.
I had high hopes lmao
