    Part of the reason this song resonates with me is the journey the guitar takes me on. Soft, clear and melancholy builds into a loud, distorted and distressed sound. It makes me feel something beautiful regardless of what it makes you feel

    for some reason this riff feels like it is the seattle sound summed even though i’ve never been all i can ever hear is people saying it wasn’t a good place to be in the 90s with no money, hardly any jobs and the big herion scene. evreytime i hear this song it just reminds me of kurt being dead and i don’t know why maybe it’s because he knew that this would be his last recording, who knows? we’ll never know.

    I have an EHX Frequency Analyzer (a true adjustable ring mod which is adjusted to only single notes and not full chords, but can be further adjusted like sharp/flat, doubled, or used to completely morph the original sound of a note into something otherworldly). I'd rather have this Pedal X than my own ring mod because it seems even easier to use than just a dedicated ring mod.

    That Mr. X/Pedal X, overdrive/ring mod texture on the solo is pretty wild. The only way I would even think you could even get close to that sound would be either build one yourself, or possibly by using an overdrive chained to something like the Boss DM2 Delay Kurt was known to use early on.

    • @gavinrolls1054

      it's not just on the solo. it's on the veleno for the entire track except the intro where he hits the root notes. it's a real pain that you basically need to build both the guitar and pedal yourself to get this sound

    What program do you use to do this magic?

    • @pietpadda593
      @pietpadda593 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      The stems are available online. Do a couple of google searches for stems, multitracks, moggs, isolated tracks etc.
      Options to create them manually:
      1) Use centre cutting on stereo-mixed guitars via software such as Audacity
      2) Run AI algorithms like the deezer spleeter. There are websites using the code which you can google around for.
      3) Use frequency and panning isolation software such as Riffstation. It allows to see the sound in terms of Left, mid and right. Then you can set an isolation band (knob to adjust the width) around a section to hide the rest. Then tweak the frequency (also a knob) with either a low or high-pass setting for isolating bassier or treblier notes.
      Option 1 gives a clearer guitar sound but has lots of bleeding. Option 2 is less clear but can isolate 5 stems (drums, bass, guitar/strings/synth etc., piano, vocals) with minimal bleeding. I prefer Option 1 for isolation and Option 2 for mixing the guitars louder in a song. Option 3 is good all-round, especially for finding sounds hidden in the centre only, or L/R only, when it is mixed in such an open, spacious way.
      Trick to let guitars stand out even more:
      Use your EQ. Cut the lower f's, boost the mid f's and cut the highest f's. Your EQ bar should roughly look like a bell curve. The meat of guitars exist mostly in the 500Hz to 4kHz spectrum. Most of the guitar's bass lies in the 250Hz range and most treble in the 8kHz range. Cut the 250Hz and 8kHz ranges out at it overlaps with the bass guitar, and 8kHz as it overlaps with drum cymbals.
      Don't underestimate EQ. It can reveal hidden notes that are buried in the mix without using stem isolation.
