Yo. Most guitars are done, starting with synths today. I’ll work on getting some video up as soon as possible!

Monday was spent doing this:
making The Mighty Guitar Cab Igloo!!!
This is my cab
And these:
Will be running through it, it’s going to be loud….
I’m miking it up with this:
Now let’s isolate that suckah!
Doesn’t that look cozy!
What i also did was turn the cab around so it faced the wall.
‘Tis much quieter now, I’m pleased!
I thought I’d post some of what I’m listening to for inspiration for the recording session next week. I’m mostly obsessing over guitar sounds, hoping to get the thickest, most rocking tone out of my newly acquired Carvin X100B Head.
So let’s get to it!
I love J.E.W! as far as I’m concerned, Clarity and Bleed American are some of the best rock albums of all time!
Bleed American in particular as some very nice, thick guitar tones that I’ve been trying to recreate for years!
You can say what you want about Nickelback, but they have amazing production on their albums and some kick-ass guitars!
From American punk rock and Canadian rock to Norwegian classic rock! The guitar sound on this album and the 2 albums before it is pretty much the perfect heavy guitar sound if you ask me!
This is one of my newest discoveries. After watching a load of Youtuber Rob Chapman and Anderton’s gear reviews, i came across Rob’s band Dorje. I love their sound, they have this nice blend of groovy riffs and heavy breakdowns, without the über-heavy vocals and blastbeats. I’m also loving the 40-min “making of” video from the recording of their new EP,
Hench as …..!
One thing they did, which i haven’t really experimented with, is to double or triple-track guitars, as in layering 2-3 different tones for each rhythm guitar. Now, this is nothing new, i know, but i was really inspired by the way they did it!
So, that’s what I’m using to, hopefully, stoke the flames of creativity and productivity into a massive inferno of goodness!
Finnstun out!!
Yo! Just a quick update after a looooong time without posting. My big project at the time is this concept-album-thing I’ve been working on for the last year (or thereaboutz), i did some demoing last summer (2013) and fleshed out some major parts, but didn’t really finish anything. Since then I’ve been focusing on 2-3 parts/sections/songs that I now know are ready to be recorded and done with. so that’s what I’m going to do next week (Feb 17. to the 23.)
I’ll do my best to film a whole lot and try to be as in-depth as possible concerning gear, sounds, mics and all that good stuff.
