@dablacksolja I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly but I know it's the big bottom model tweaked like crazy. Right now we're actually using a dual tone of our big bottom model and a sub dub at the same time to kind of separate the bass sound and the distortion sound.
@humanbeansauce right..so u recording that song with that big bottom and the dual tone? becase I'd like to cover meshuggah's songs mainly from Nothing or Obzen? so in conclusion with only the pod x3 could have that sound?
@dablacksolja Yeah the sounds on the videos are with just the pod x3. I believe the x3 and the x3 pro have the same amp models, but the pro has more features as far as ins/outs. There's a comparison chart on the line 6 website.
Fantastic. I've spent a lot of time looking for music like this - the meshuggah-ish groove without any vocals or much lead. Hardly anyone does it. Getting a more nuanced drum track (even if programmed) will make it just right. Do you change anything in your setup or pod settings when you do the tapping?
@yeahwellmaybe Thanks. When we record the album the drum parts will be real; the ones on these demos are just for timing and to get the basic idea. I'm sure Andy will mix them up a bit. Yeah no changes when I switch to tapping. Just using the same tone and both pickups selected.
@TommyOwnzU Aquarian Hi Energy. Both the top and bottom were all the way as tight as they will go without breaking. I don't care for this sound much thanks to a mistake in mic position though. I need to resample my snare.
@TommyOwnzU I don't like that head. At any tension below the one I wound it up to it wasn't doing so well. I'm about to put a Remo on and use the Aquarian as a backup.
Ok. So your music sounds good and all. But it's waaaaaay too repetative. and the bass and drums don't contrast each other enough and have too similar of rhythms. I can only listen to about 30 seconds without wanting to punch my speakers.
learn to phrase please...for melodies, instead of AAAA try ABAC for example... hearing the same melody with the same drum backing repeated so often with no variation is kind of hard on the brain... other than that you have some flippin amazing skills
awesome!
