EARTHWORM JIM Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yeah, I remember there was a scuffle for Dom's stick(s?) both at Birmingham and the Leicester gig the same year I think but as I say, I don't recall the guitar incident. yep i remember it, i was in the crowd then got out and saw the rest on the balcony, he threw the guitar in the crowd, it was the yamaha with the squier neck, i remember when the gig ended i saw it at the mixing desk in the middle of the venue, i think i had £70 on me and i tried to offer the sound guys a bit to buy it! haha, was a killer gig, the origin of symmetry tour! good good times!

I guess no one recognized it when it went up for sale - probably would've went for thousands otherwise. Matt's old peavey wolfgang (the main one) was posted for sale not long ago, but judging by what it went for in 2008... I'll pass. I don't know about the whole repair that was done to it either. I don't think that would increase the value, but would it decrease it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Not my favorite, but it's such a massive live song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkSi2Ea5uyM Seriously. First time seeing it: What is Biffy doing at the moment? The announced a show somewhere at a place recently I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 What is Biffy doing at the moment? The announced a show somewhere at a place recently I think? They're playing in Edinburgh at Hogmanay. Need to see if tickets are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macaroon Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I would go, but the street party at Hogmanay is an odd place. Also tickets are £50 and Biffy will likely play 5 or 6 songs before heading off. Not worth it in my view, would rather spend the night in Hive... I wonder if I'll be called out for that.

Macaroon Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Oh wow, my bad in that case. I didn't expect that they'd be given a full set at the street party. As you said though, £50!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroya Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Had a go on an OP-1 today, pretty good fun once you get your head around the navigation. Very stupid how the tape deck doesn't have a proper undo function. Recorded some pretty cool sounds but one of my main problems is that it is hard to create a great sound on the synth without using loads of external effects. Haven't got any sound clips I made so here's the video from Muse's Instagram. https://instagram.com/p/z8iyZInXeE/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another song I wish I saw/need to see.

Must have been great to watch the soundcheck My experience meeting them in 2013 was interesting. I got my infinity land CD booklet signed, and a picture... during that, I ended up dropping my phone and breaking the screen Didn't help that I was a bit nervous, but they couldn't have been nicer. Even got a compliment from Simon about my Mansions fanboi shirt (which I might have worn intentionally...) At least I have a better chance of them remembering me for next time.

james90 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 wait does this suggest the album itself was recorded with a kemper into protools? what about the custom made turkish pedal from istanbul ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust_relic Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Looks like they are only talking about the writing and pre production stage, I'm sure they would have used real amps for recording “During the writing and pre–production phase they tend to be mainly computer–based, so Matt uses soft synths, and [Modartt] Pianoteq for the piano sounds, because it is very tweakable, and for his guitar sound he uses a Kemper Profiler amp, which they also use live. I do the profiling for them, and it means that they have the same sounds that we achieve in the studio at home, and live. For example, I have created profiles for all Matt’s Vox, Marshall, Diezel and Fender amps. During writing and pre-production Matt’s focus is more on the musical content than the actual sound, and he can easily sketch things out using these sounds. He plugs his guitar into the Kemper and that into Pro Tools, and that’s it. He may be writing for a month, and then I’ll come in and do a general clean–up of his sessions, some fixing, some sound programming of synths and beats, and perhaps some rough mixes of his ideas.” :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah that's what I was thinking - haven't seen the whole article yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I imagine with actual recordings they used the normal amps and just had a profiler on hand in case they got a nice sound that they wanted to keep. Although I can't specifically remember seeing any actual amps on the making of video but you can see the Kempers in their touring rigs around the studio. Plus they only do 44.1kHz sample rate, which obviously isn't a massive issue and there are workarounds (although if they recorded the session in 92/24 anyway)/can just connect it using the analogue outputs Were there any amps seen in the instagram pics?

nerd herd Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Later on in the article he says they used a 1959 Marshall, a VH4, some '60s Vox amps, a modified Ampeg V4 with Mills Acoustic cabinets, and some old Fender combos for recording. Did someone here buy one of the turkish distortion pedals, and if so is it any good? EDIT: Were there any amps seen in the instagram pics? Don't think so, but there was that Roland one that appeared as a wallpaper on .mu. Isn't mentioned in the sos thing though.

heyjackk Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Were there any amps seen in the instagram pics? The Roland was seen in a picture as mentioned before and I think I remember seeing the Diezel in one of the making of videos? Might of been Defector, but I may have been wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I bought what I thought was one of those turkish distortion pedals. It didn't do anything. But then Matt's looked slightly different, so it was probably modified I've not heard of him using any Fender combos (unless they're referring to the hot rod from the showbiz era?) but in the making of, there was the ampeg head (V2 or V4 it seems), the diezel, and I'm sure I saw that really old Marshall JTM 45. I imagine he used that 100 watt modified marshall too (the one he's had since BHAR) but I can't remember seeing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yeah, I thought Globalist intro was a Tele into some sort of Fender amp? Not sure why, must have seen a pic of it or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
