I do hate it when older guys start screaming about "dynamics" in heavy guitar music. It seriously makes you sound ancient. TURN THAT NOISE DOWN YOU YOUNG PUNKS! IN MY DAY OUR GUITARS HAD DYNAMICS, YOU COULD LIKE, PLAY SOFT AND IT WAS SOFT.
The kind of stuff he was demonstrating is not meant to be dynamic, it's meant to be a nonstop sledgehammer to your head. That's what you old schools don't seem to get.
It's fine if you don't like it... hell, it's not the kind of stuff I'd rock out to either... But don't tell them how their guitar SHOULD sound. They're the artists, they know how they want it to sound.
thanx for the laugh...he used it to show what he considers to be a good sound...if we disagree because we're older we shouldn't respond? What grade are you in? I am thankful when I was a kid many older people took the time to help me out...my comments were polite and accurate...especially about the mix being too loud...as in clipping get it? I never ever said how he should sound, I only pointed out that it was hard to tell because of the mix quality...it's called constructive criticism. funny too, it seems too me you just said less dynamics are good....so why buy expensive software? If you want to have a lack of dynamics record it on an old cassette recorder...if you want to learn how dynamics can improve the non stop sledgehammer (yes that is possible) than perhaps you might learn a thing or two from us ancient people, it's not like your generation invented the sound, and many of my generation are out there doing the whole sledgehammer thing quite well.
) what genre he thought it was...I found this to be quite a compliment.
