here's something i did last week:
my brother came over to play some guitarloops and solo's on a simple electronic song i made, downtempo chilly music, kinda dark,
for the solo's i wanted a real special sound so if i remember correctly i just took the DI signal (or maybe the gut was first plugged in a dbx163x, cant remember) and plugged it in my M8, i had a dbx166xl on the insert to limit the gut sound real hard, but then HAH, here it comes:
i turned the gain real loud, i boosted the mids 100% and started tweaking the
frequency of the mids (gives some sort of phaser sound),
what i wanted was total distortion, distortion in the M8 , and then the direct out to my soundcard which i allowed to clip real hard too,
the result was real harsh, SQEEEKING screaming skrnarsching solo that sounded like it went trough a sonic destructor, and i loved the sound,
its dirty cause you can really hear the digital clipping which normally is a hatefull sound, but here its what i wanted,
the solo cuts trough the mix like a hot knife trough butter
now i wonder, can you harm your soundcard or mixer by doing this?
i'm not gonna do it every week, but some parts of the song will be re-done soon, that means i'll have to abuse my equipment again
PS, i just invented the word "skrnarsching", feel free to use it yourself one day
