I'm picturing a Korg MS-20 flipping the hell out while it tries to make sense of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" being played into its pitch-to-CV converter and honestly that sounds pretty dope to me.

Opening for a quite large not-black-metal-anymore band tonight and my band has scrounged enough cabs to each run a full stack and our bassist has an 8x10. This is going to be stupid as fuckkkkkkk

Less stupid than bands that have those pop up convention banners with their logos and stuff on stage. They don't look like a band, they look like they're going to cut me a sick deal on some life insurance.

It's insanely convenient, right? :allears:

Like, instead of having to record yourself badly with your phone or having to verify that Pro-Tools + your recording rack is set to go (which nowadays takes me a while, sadly :( ), with the cute little green motherfucker you just turn it on, use the inbuilt tuner, connect it to and turn on the laptop, and finally get Cubase running. 3 minutes, tops, and the idea is still fresh in your mind.

I need to mess with it via usb more. I wasn’t crazy about recording that way before but I’ve never been happy with modeling software either. It deserves more tweaking time.

Used standalone as a normal amp it’s absolutely surreal how good it sounds. Whatever speaker technology Yamaha harnessed for that little thing is magical.

Same, but with a THR10. That little bastard gets me near perfect Fender emulation and a huge bass sound out of tiny, 8mm speakers, and lets me record things faster than ever while sounding like I've mic'ed up a real amp. The THR series is the opposite of stupid music poo poo.

Except for the THR5. Sure I'll pay $200 for an modelling amp with a single tone knob!

Why do drummers who use triggers even bother to use drums? And should they still call themselves drummers? Maybe triggerers?

Play some superfast blast beats on that and your band can be the next Berzerker.

The short 10 seconds of audio approach IS awful though. At least show off 30 seconds of guitar/band play through video.

If you want to give yourself any chance at reaching a bigger audience, yes.

I think it’s possible to do this tastefully though without shoving meaningless content at people. Like, if the 10 second clip had some editing, it would come off way better than just posting a random video.

My favourite is when bands do that, have a perfect promo for their one video single which they put out before their first show, gather thousands of social media follows and then play one show before disappearing forever and ruining all of that momentum.
