favorite instrument sound
 

online big from lsg on 2003-08-13 16:32 [#00820489]

in particular order:
violin, as in i care because you do: 4
hobo, as in the fourth track of "the piano" ost
human voice, as in special stuff like at the drive inn and
sparta (just found out its not the same guy) and baroque
stuff like monteverdi

also: clean electric guitar

furthermore guitar and piano are nicely versityle, but not
that special sounding to me

Piano. Particularly melodies, arpeggio-types and other
complicated fiddly bits, rather than basic block chords.
But on the whole, piano is my favourite instrument by a
mile. Nothing comes close. Atall.

piano doesnt let you control the tone enough, imo, its nice
for arpeggio stuff yes maybe

playing one at some Amnesty International concert, and was
like "damn, she stole my idea!" :)

double bass is the drumming kit thing?

couldnt you better get the violin effect with your guitar
with a volume pedal?: i think it sucks that an effect
controls the sound in this

sitar?

I like clean electric guitars.. and acoustic.. though
sometimes just the sound of the pick sliding from string to
string on an acoustic guitar turns me off immediately.. some
of my friends used to listen to shit like dave matthews, ben
harper.. etc ugh.. so bland and uninteresting

I love drums.. esp. certain hiphop rhythms etc.. or any for
that matter.. but also sounds that simulate drums .. or
drums that arent in the form of a standard drumkit

piano

violin

pitch-shifted vocal samples etc

Big,
I gues I could, but it wouldn't be as consistent. I sounds
really really cool, despite (or maybe in spite of) all the
processing I put it through.

that's not the pick theo, that's the fingers sliding.
the pick sliding is that 80's electric 'cool' sound

time that like half the sound of the strumming
