    Metalcore suggestions

    For metalcore I agree with what everyone else is saying. Some underrated (at least in my opinion) ones are Bleed From Within, Crystal Lake, and Upon A Burning Body who actually did a cover of a WTF song. Remenissions I want to say is the song.

    Thank You All For Another Successful Masterclass

    The masterclass was incredible. I obtained more knowledge from Bill in that session than I had in a week of trying to figure out myself. After the class it was like I had a rekindled excitement for guitar that I felt had been missing for some time!!! Many thanks to You, Bill, and Syn for setting...

    A little piece of heaven vocals on guitar

    I tried to match Matt’s vocal as accurately as I could during the chorus will slight embellishes using slides and vibrato.

    Red Light Syndrome

    This happens to me and it's one of the reasons I don't post on this site or IG as much as I want to. I'm trying to start overcoming it by forcing myself to post things, but it is definitely a struggle. You are not alone.

    Any tips on punk songwriting?

    If you are looking to do drums, then I'd say that having 8th note hi-hats along with a snare backbeat played on the upbeat could sound fitting for punk. A good example of what the snare on the upbeat would sound like is in Pierce the Veil's "Bulls In The Bronx", specifically after the intro of song.

    How Is Everyone Doing?

    Finished my first week back in my dorm and we haven't been kicked out yet like a bunch of other universities around me which is nice. Been finding it kind of difficult to get motivated to pick up the guitar recently though. I'm still practicing, but at times it feels less like me doing something...

    Users Experience and Opinions About Audio Interfaces

    ProTools would have been VERY difficult for me to use had I not had the help of my professors and upperclassmen to help me, especially since they all used Mac and I only have a Windows PC.

    Users Experience and Opinions About Audio Interfaces

    My first audio interface was the Behringer UMC22 which is a fairly cheap audio interface that isn't all that bad in my opinion. My first DAW was a free one called tracktion 7 and I still enjoy using it, but since I was able to use other DAWs like ProTools and Logic Studio through my university I...

    Is add9 the same thing as 9, or would 9 act like a dominant 7 were you'd have to flat the 9th?
