New Tune dropped

[Narsh]

And it's in Drop B using my Black Mamba

Love the super heavy chugging riff. And the solo is an interesting contrast to the heaviness of the rest of the song, lots of sustained notes, and a slower approach, worked out really well.

Very nice! I like it!

Fantastic. Not my favorite genre but I like what I hear and appreciate the musicianship to make this tuning work.

Would the amount of gain that kicks in early on your track work in a live setting or would get lost?

I don't think these sounds are that saturated with gain at all, and there aren't two similar guitars battling for presence either, nor a bass player who also tries to overpower everything with distorted bass.

It's not a problem.for those who know what they are doing like Enrique certainly does, and can dial in the sounds,...t's always those young bands who have many players who each want to have the heaviest sound and stand in the limelight...they seem to have no concept of toning down their playing or tone to give room for tte rest of the band, and they seldom seem to understand how much more saturated their sound becomes once its thru the PA system and compressors and all.

I've spent a lot of time in project studios and so on, also for my own bands and many others, and it's often even a shock for young bands what happens when they get to hear their songs for the first time.

Many kids start out with modelers and such and learn to play using massive gain , and that makes it impossible to hear their own mistakes and inaccuracy. Then in the studio when they are noticing they can't layer those buzzaw sounds like they have at practice and it sounds a LOT better with a little less gain, they suddenly literally can't play that riff quite cleanly without mistakes.

It's also the same for drummers who suddenly realize they'd have to hit that kick very steadily and not with huge changes in power, and actually play in time along with a click or without the band in the same room or maybe no vocals, and really start to struggle with their playing.

But it's the use of far too much gain that seems to go on the longest even till when they are already gigging much.

And I can understand that well, I was in the same spot when I was 20 or so. I used too much gain too.

I've often told the story when my amp channel selector broke down on a gig, and I had to play thru the whole set with just a slightly driven sound. It felt hard and horrible to play, every mistake sounding thru I thought and the guitar wouldn't sing.

But after the gig - I had never ever gotten so much praise for my guitar sounds before. There were literally half a dozen guys okgling my gear and asking questions what kind of an OD did I use and what pups I had and all that.

That was the first time it properly sank in for me that in a live setting, when it comes to gain, less is often more.

Superb song as always, Narsh!

Interesting to think about. I have no idea how it would play out live as there are 3 clean guitars (slight effect/harmony added to each)panned R/L/C. The distorted guitars are supposed to be more subtle when they come in to transition to the main verse but more often that not I do things by accident and just roll with how they sound/tweak as needed.

Three? Wow. That proves his/your point about the weight of the chug being the sum of multiple lighter tracks.

Thanks.

Yeah I don’t use a rediculous amount of gain for drop tuned guitars. I just quad track and use a thick bass tone.
