does going lower than concert pitch make the entire recording sound small? I wondered, because we use them for rhythm riffs, and in the mix they sound low. It sounds crunchy, which is good, but the bass actually accentuates the low end even further, and it sounds small. would playing a second identical riff at a tuning that's concert pitch (or even just at the octave above on the same tuning), fix this?
I am the lead player and i just sit around playing nothing when it's not my "solo time" so it makes me think it shouldn't be that hard to do it. But I work at concert pitch, or even sometimes ABOVE concert pitch, I like sounding shrill, and breaking through the mix.
actually, that's what inspired my question about ajfa, i noticed it sounded smaller than Korn's issues album, and I thought, "wow, that guitar tone is really f**king low".
