The low pass is actually a low pass filter, so what if people use it generically. It doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about.  

Right, I edited my post to include the word "Filter" LOL.

OK,  it's the low-pass filter that annoys me. When he sings live, at Geezer at least, his voice sounds rich, with a full tone. He's a nice, naturally resonant high baritone. Then they slap that low pass filter on the recordings and all the compression and it doesn't come out nearly as vibrant as his natural tone, it strips the low partials from his baritone voice. 

*high pass. I sometimes mix them up as well. Just think with "high pass" that the higher frequencies "pass" through the filter. With "low pass," the lower frequencies pass through.

But yes, I agree with you 100%

Speaking of filters, how about a filter on this forum that changes any use of the word "filter" to "I don't know what I'm talking about".

Except when they do?

Is anyone still in the running to win - page 209..................

At this rate of ~2.5 pages a day I guess we'll be at page 220 - 230 before we have an announcement.

I thought it was the general EQ settings, not necessarily high- and low-pass. Sorry ... I'll shut up and come back when my blood/sugar has stabilized :mellow:

edit: and when I know what I'm talking about

A high and low pass filter is an EQ, because an EQ is a filter itself.

Got it, thanks. As an amateur musician, I should know this stuff. Hopefully that's my last embarrassing post for the year.

You were right, though. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about vocal filters (I'm not even sure that that's the correct usage of the term now) and whatnot. However, I do know that Billie likes to screw with his vocals by adding some sort of strange effect to it, and that I would like very much for him to stop doing it and to put a little more confidence in his unedited voice. I think that whatever he's doing to the vocals really is making them sound flatter and more two-dimensional.

No worries! There is a lot of drama behind this subject (when it involves Green Day) so I figured we might as well all be straight on the term.

It wasn't directed it at any one specific though. That's just kind of a buzzword that gets thrown around a lot here and as Matt said, is a frequent source of drama.

On the other hand, I was just being a cranky asshat earlier. It was unnecessary. :)

But does it have anything to do with the new album. Could these be the drums for a tour

Maybe.

Looks like a photoshoot 

My guess is that it was promo for SJC.

He's dressed up in Green Day style. He's got his eyeliner on, too, like Billie Joe in his pink bathroom selfie. It's still exciting! Maybe we'll see these drums with the new logo on the bass, on tour, with Billie Joe's sparkly gold and sunburst 1954 LPJ.

It could be but it could also be a promo picture from the other week? Hoping there's one out there of Billie with his new guitar.

Either way, such a pretty drum kit.

If that shoot was for SJC, then they would've posted on their insta account. so i think it was for Green Day. but still.

 

I really feel, we would get an announcement, by page 310 :P

I think I'm gonna go, anyone else? I've never met another GDCer IRL lol

(Also, I just happen to be in the bay area this summer again, so I would straight up buy a lot of lottery tickets if GD actually ends up playing)
