The longer the neck, the better too! Fender style are naturally carrying more tension than gibson style necks.ģ) Make sure your guitar is perfectly intonated for the tuning you're using.often the schecters are shipped really well intonated - but at regular tuning - EADGBEĤ) Hit the strings softer.I would assume you're using a lot of distortion (?) so the performance won't be compromised as the gain compression will eat dynamics anyway. For our dropped C tunes, we use 11-56s on guitars and 50-110 on bass. I can be a bit of an expert here for a change!!ġ) Try to all use the same tuner - and tune accurately (obviously)Ģ) Because you're in a low tension tuning, you might want to try using even thicker gauges on the problematic strings. So i try to ask people, who have knowlege and expirience:cool:Īaaaah. Usually i have no time for experiments in studio, and my hometapes are not ideal reference to what i should do in studio. It is what i'm looking for - the way i should work on my tehnique and gear. May be i really have no need in this and moderately played and tuned guitar would make mix more emotional. But i have some problem with it: on thick strings i need more attack to make chord sound agressive, full. I think it is right - too high pressure and attack are sharpen sound. "requires better technicque to sound good." I set saddles heigt not high, not low, just for comfortable playing - when strings are set too high, note may get sharp, when i hold down string it on neck. With Drop C 3rd and 6th strings have less tension than others, and they are most difficult for tuning. I check scale length and tross road number of times through year, but now i want it to be made by professional. I bought it 3 years ago, so at this time im going to make general setup in guitar workshop and want to buy hi-leveled instrument by the autumn: esp, gibson or mayones. I use Scheter blackjack with 10-52 strings and drop-c tuning. I think good tuner can help, but i used different tuners - pedal, rack, soft, and i always made some aditional tuning by ears to make chords sound accurate. I use test tone from my KORG metronome or boss-tu to tune 1st string, then i tune others by ear, making octaves and fourths as good, as i can, because my playing is based on fifths. Song4gabriel, i use boss-tu on stage for quick tuning, but i prefer to tune by ears in every other situation. I know something about tuning, "how it has to be", but i always whas interested in "how it really done".Īlso was surprised with DNA function of Melodyne, i thought it works only with one melody line, thank you Big K! JohnTodd, thank you for theory details, and useful tips. People complained back then that the new way was out of tune, but we don't complain about it because we've heard it all our lives. Just like when Bach switched us over from the old tuning method to Equal Temperament. Only when they are a little too far out do we notice. We are used to hearing guitars out of tune ALL the time because that is normal. And so on.īut we as humans "get used to" certain things. I stretch my strings the day before so they won't slip or stretch anymore. And then I'll do several takes of whatever, and tune again. I let them adjust to room temp on the stand out of the case for at least 1/2 hour before tuning. I've never done the like, but I painstakingly tune my guitars before tracking. I've heard of people splitting the guitar tracks into different sections and punching in on those sections with a retuned guitar, one that is tuned for "those certain chords". That being said, you betcha a quality instrument will be more accurate up and down the neck than a cheap one. Well, fact is, no stringed instrument is ever perfectly in tune up and down the neck.
