So I'm trying to get my shit together and learn to play and understand the heavier music I like to listened to but have never tried writing or playing
Genre like Punk, Screamo Melodic Hardcoare Metalcore, Melodic Hardcore Rise Against, Story of the year, Thrice, Underoath, Anberlin, A Day To Remember The drop tunings involved can be from a simple Eb tuning down to a Drop A etc I'm likely to give my Les Paul the role for this, but apart from everything involved with the guitar and string gauges can we talk about bass guitar and how that fits in with guitars stepping into their sonic space. I don't have a clue! -------------------- My SoundCloud

This is an interesting topic! There are two elements involved here: Arrangement and Sound. The first one is related to what the musicians play, and the second one is related to gear, tone settings and mix.
Regarding the arrangement... one of the main differences is that the bass plays the riff in a lower octave. Even having Drop B guitars, the bassists use 5 strings or they also tune it in drop B, but the note that they get is a lower octave than the guitar. Bass riffs are usually simplier than guitar riffs because the lower register gets less clear and the less notes you play, the better it sounds. Now talking about sound, most specifically audio mix, the key is to add EQ cuts on both instruments so the frecuencies don't compete. Adding a low cut filter on guitar somewhere between 100 hz and 140 hz, can make space for bass. On the other hand, you can add cut some frecuencies around between 250 and 400 on bass to make space to guitar. These are just reference numbers that depends on many aspects like the arrangement, the instrument used, the sound, and so... One thing that will really help you is to check isolated tracks from some of those bands. This will help you to hear the arrangement and sound mix used. Here you can some A Day To Remember stems: https://remixpacks.ru/?s=a+day+to+remember If you've never checked stems, you'll love this. Try opening them on a multitrack daw and analyze it! -------------------- My lessons

What a useful site that is. I've used stems occasionally for church stuff but not found this amount of rock ones.
This will really help to analyse arrangements etc Thanks -------------------- My SoundCloud

Hey Todd
Thanks for chiming in. I had considered a 7 string at one stage but I think most of the bands I like, looking into it all are all 6 string players with maybe Drop C as the lowest tuning. My Les Paul is a great riffing guitar so it will be the dedicated one for this stuff I think, I bought the John Feldman Producers pack from STL Tones for my Ax8 as he produced quite a few punk and hardcore/screamo type bands I like. It's surprising just how heavy Drop D sounds with the right tone. -------------------- My SoundCloud

QUOTE (MrVegas @ Oct 10 2020, 10:09 AM) Wait. You can download stems of popular bands and mute and or solo specific tracks in your daw?   i checked out your link, i just see you tube videos. if downloading stems and muting guitar track is possible that would be awsome There's a download link. It isn't every track individually but it often has kick, snare, cymbals and toms, Bass guitar, guitars, vocals, background vocals. So enough isolation for us to really dig in and learn, and enough for remixers to create something -------------------- My SoundCloud
