The Wikipedia page for PIII lists a violinist, and even an orchestra. Why wasn't there any footage/mention of this in the documentary? Seems like a very interesting part of the recording process!
The live orchestral instruments were actually done at the very last minute, and organized/tracked remotely by Randy Slaugh. I sent him all the MIDI I had programmed, and he converted it into sheet music and found players that could play the material, but they only had enough time to do certain songs/sections. I wasn't even there for those sessions, and when we did the documentary, the plan had been just to use the MIDI. In the end we did a combination of my programming and live instruments.
Do you prefer vinyl for limited color presses or higher quality press?
I honestly haven't found there to be a difference in sound quality, at least to my ears. The only pressings I avoid are picture discs, as those tend to be noisy and more prone to skipping.
Have you ever experienced a situation where you struck a chord and there was no clarity in the low notes? Would the Juggernauts fix this kind of problem?
Muddy pickups will definitely work against clarity. I definitely think the Juggs will fix that problem!
So I know you are a fellow d'addario user and I gotta ask. Out of all the strings from them you tried (alloys, coatings, wraps) which one wowed you the most? Not necessarily the current ones you use (unless that'she truly your answer) but the one that got you really interested in the brand.
Hi Misha !
How do you think the BKP Juggernaut would sound in a jackson Slatt xmg3-7 ?
Maple neck thru mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard, 26,5"scale, Tune-O-Matic with strings thru body. This guitar sound ok, but pretty muddy. Do you think it will helps ? Thanks a lot !
It will sound great in that guitar, it should definitely clear up the muddiness!
Soundiron Venus, APE. Spitfire Albion, Mural, Sable, BML Brass Phalanx, HZ 101, Evo 2, EDNA, Solo Strings. Orchestral Tools Berlin Woodwinds. NI Action Strikes and Symphonic Brass Ensemble. Cinematic Strings 2, LA Scoring Strings. I feel like there are more but I forget haha.
Any ways of uploading Juggernaut Alpha/Omega & P3 albums into Jammit?
I would be thrilled to do multiple drum covers without hearing 2 delayed drums in the mix!!! :)
Unfortunately not. However, we ARE selling a producer pack of P3 as a preorder only, which will give you access to stems in that capacity, so order it before the album is released if you want that!
How did you start to write in such unique style? It's obvious that at the beginning you were not so original. What tips can you give about becoming a better songwriter/riffwriter? Does transcribing other peoples songs play the part?
The truth is that I haven't really ever focused on or cared much about trying to be "original", I just wanted to have fun with it. Have fun with it.
Hi, MIsha! Recently I watched the video where you use a Mayo with True Temperament frets and Evertune bridge. Why don't you use them on your Jackson guitars? Is the difference between TT and normal frets noticeable? and about frets, Which of them do you prefer, normal, TT, or fanned?
Honestly as great as those things are as studio tools and very useful to address specific problematic sections. I find they mess with the feel and tone to the point where they kinda make the guitars less than ideal to just jam on. So in most settings I just prefer my normal stainless steel frets and a hipshot bridge!
