That's awesome I write vocal patterns the same way. I make noises while we jam and find arrangements. The band writes the lyrics together but the amount of silibols is layed down to how I play guitar and sing. Saves alot of time and very smart imo. When we go to track vocals stuff kinda falls in place.

I share Misha's love for Nobuo Uematsu, and in addition to his great work on Final Fantasy VII, I also want to mention Lost Odyssey. For anyone curious, check out the track "Neverending Journey" from the Lost Odyssey soundtrack. It starts out as a Peruvian pan-pipe kind of thing, then it turns into a metal shred-fest halfway through. Sounds bonkers, but it works!

Hi Kip! Glad you enjoyed it!

This will sound very self indulgent but i can recognize so many of my own writing ‘quirks’ in misha’s explanation on the writing process. I have felt very strongly about that passion for the crafted sensation rather than the performance in my own music but have gotten quite insecure about it over time as a lot of fellow musician keep hammering on the performance. (Looking at you SMG ;) ) but hearing Misha owning it felt great to hear. Thanks! Also Periphery rules. Cheers

I really wish they would make an updated version of the toneforge plugin

This was so great!

It’s very easy to forget how much of a shredder Warren is!

Speaking of Nobuo Uematsu, checkout one of his band "The Black Mages". They play Final Fantasy music in Progressive Metal (the original composition are already Prog Rock to begin with anyway).

28:30 That’s why you don’t want to do a whole album of that type of music right away. You’d want to start with one song in an album being totally different. Then the next album has two or three. And then you have the big different album. Or at least something like that unless you have such a massive, or specific, audience that it just doesn’t matter. If you condition your audience you can do a lot. This is like some of the very good early non-hip hop radio stations that played hip hop songs. They’d have a process for introducing those types of songs. It wouldn’t just be “hip hop hour with XX” right out of the gate. They would start playing hip hop songs in the D block and slowly move the songs into more “premier” places and with greater frequency. There were processes that allowed for a substantial amount of creativity within a structure that allowed the audience to get what they want too. I feel like this should be a lot on producers. To help guide the band like this if they want to do more out there/different things

his view on progressive metal is exactly how i feel about alternative/nu metal.

38:57 That's such a great tune, "Girls" by The 1975.

I like that he doesn't care about originality. He just makes music he loves, and originality comes as a byproduct. I feel like a lot of people get lost in a journey to be the most original and quirky musician and don't give themselves time to enjoy themselves and learn, and let originality come on its own, and their music suffers in the end. Quite the bootstrap, eh?

They don't jam because they don't write music, they write math. Seriously though, Periphery was hands down the best show I've ever been too. They're absolutely amazing live

Great chat. Guitar strings question. Misha mentioned the mixed gauges in the horizon set. Does Misha or yourself know how well these work on a PRS fixed bridge/saddle, as they are designed for standard sets to give perfect intonation without adjustment (and they do work really well). So has anyone tried these on a PRS? Also side note Audio Assault have just put out an IR mixer that looks interesting.

I think that if you LOVE your own music, there's something not right... self criticism and doubt is what makes you either give up or forge on... I'm not a great musician, and riddled with self doubt, but I keep on bashing at the wall... a significant birthday coming up next year... am aiming to complete the mission! 👍

Nice Fenderlikey... I never knew that Jackson was owned by Fender... I have a Jackson AND a Fender HSS Strat, Affinity only but does the job of giving me the jingle that the Jackson doesn't have!

Just putting it out there; Kalium strings. If they ever team up with Elixir, I can't imagine how this combo could be beat in any way shape or form. I've been using custom string gauges with single strings as much as I can, and the fact that Elixir sells them individually too is a real treat. Just make sure you understand your headstock design first before knowing what strings you want to slap on to it. I could guess very much that Horizon strings are better than average, but with so many string manufacturers out there, I just can't see how anyone could ever possibly pass up either Elixir or Kalium. If you think Elixir are overpriced, you have to try them to see it. When your strings sound exactly like on day 1 but a YEAR later, then you know what you paid for. Especially Elixir on BASS. If you complain about your bass player not changing strings enough, gift them with a set of Elixirs. For your own sake. Will always sound crisp.

Absolutely progressive rock let's you play the field and be innovative and different by dipping into and mixing the genres... Genesis to Dream Theatre and everything/anything in between!! 👍

47:03 "10 - 52 in standard" ? The question is not always gauge, it's also scale length. You need 10s on a standard Gibson scale to match the 9s on a Strat scale. And it's not just tuning stability that can be completely ignored with the evertune (althoug there is still intonation issue), the sound of it is also distinctive, especially when you HAVE to put more force in to make it sound. It's just different.

@Producelikeapro

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's a combination of Tuning and Scale Length that determines the right gauge for the guitar!

It's inspiring seeing someone from such a similar background as me absolutely killing it. Although, I did have the N64 growing up, so I guess I'm more like a poor man's Pokemon Stadium and not necessarily in a good way. lol
