  1. I did link to the recording, so just download that and run it through your amp(s). The problem with internet demos is amps have a massive impact on the sound, the microphone, how it is positioned, the room... everything fucks with the sound. If I changed the amp simulation, the sound would be totally different. If you go to the Plug Your Band thread and find the sampler of Tourists I put up, I reckon you'd be hard pushed to tell me what equipment I was actually using there.
  2. Yeah. Might have had some components changed from stock, not entirely sure how close to stock it is.
  3. I'm selling a Sennheiser MD441-2. A now discontinued version of the microphone without the high-pass filter and tuschel connector. Comes with mic clamp and tuschel > XLR converter. Great microphone that mostly sits around doing nothing. Looking for £300. Also a Boss PS-2 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay. Has a broken Dry/Wet mix knob, which is repairable, but I haven't done so in the 6/7 years I've had it, so might as well stop pretending that I will one day. £50?

  5. How are newer SG's? Various 60's and 70's SG's, including Juniors are some of the best guitars I've ever played, playing a 2005/6 one was beyond a disappointment, had this fat, horrible unplayable neck. Always been after an SG, would be nice to not have to go into the vintage market if I can avoid it.
  6. I might be selling my M-Audio Profire 610 within the next few weeks. It does have a few issues, one of the microphone preamps is playing up, is the one of the other analogue inputs and at least one of the outs I believe is playing up as well. Basically makes crackling sounds, similar to a totally fucked vinyl. May be possible to repair them, but can't find any useful info online. At least 2 inputs work and hopefully 7 outputs work fine, so should be adequate for bedroom recording. I'm open to offers.
  7. I don't think the idea is so much about increasing sustain, more about coupling the strings with the body better for resonances to be pronounced, adding more harmonics to the sound and other sciencey stuff. One benefit of this will be increased sustain.
  8. All your videos sound thin & harsh, no idea what is with the ultra bright reverb everything is swimming in and those drums are comedy. Its not the style that is the problem here.
  9. You need to learn how to mix/produce as that is all over the place. And that's going by listening to it through laptop speakers.
  10. Recording from most recent gig supporting Deviant UK. [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/parva-hinton/live-333-mother-live-09-08[/soundcloud] Parva Hinton T-shirts are available to pre-order from here.
  11. How different are the Nanos to older versions then? Because its strange to see people saying they are not subtle. With my one, set to the colour off position, rate knob about 2'o'clock and you're in Uni-Vibe territory.
  12. Never used the Nano, but generally prefer the Small Stone over the Phase90. All the different versions of the Small stone do sound a bit different, for what you'd spend on a new Phase90, you'd have plenty of options on the second hand market for Small Stones. Talk Show Host by Radiohead is a good example of a Small Stone, as well as the entirety of Oxygene by Jean Michel Jarre. Beautiful pedal on guitars, synths, vocals...
  13. That would be a plosive, not sibilance. The latter, is best explained as a resonance, kinda similar to whistling. Microphone choice, placement and processing can emphasize it. Plosives, which are B, P, T's and all that do blow air at the microphone, but much easier to disguise. If you put your hand about 6 inches away from your mouth and talk at it, you'll get an idea of what it hitting a microphone. Certainly not an "error" or "glitch". De-essing, which is the technique for removing sibilant sounds in recordings can make a vocalist sound like they have a lisp, very common in advertising weirdly.
  14. Been doing a fair bit of synthpop lately because I secretly wish I was Vince Clark. [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/3rd-storey-chemist/shed-a-tear[/soundcloud] Just make sure the master channel is not going over 0dB at any point, then bounce. If you're worried about volume, try doing some basic mastering or I'd be happy to do that for the price of a pint or two.
  15. Its a synthesiser? So it'll do synth stuff. But there are better options out there, if I was buying a hardware synth, the Nord wouldn't be anywhere near top of my list.
  16. A WH4 and plenty of VSTs out there. Would be totally stupid to buy a synth to only play MOTP.
  17. Any vocoder and a synth if required that I've had access to over the years. Got a recording I did in Ableton using Vocoder and Analog, but didn't have an amp simulator at the time.
