ghost reacted to Nowhere Girl in Dir en grey
Production =/= mixing =/= mastering.
Production is song creation, choosing instruments, recording them, crafting them to get the right atmosphere for the project.
Mixing is the balance of the stems recorded for each song.
Mastering is making sure all songs across an album are balanced the same, and getting the final 'sound' of the album with effects like EQ and compression.
For example, The Insulated World is a pretty well-produced album (a little laziness in writing aside). The mix is okay, but it's absolutely destroyed by an atrocious master that makes everything sound far too compressed, creating a fatiguing listen.

ghost reacted to platy in random thoughts thread
~working 8-10 hours a day and my fingers and hands are fucked~
Manager: how much of the pain is work related? Cuz I know you do art as well, u sure that isn't the problem
ye if I can even manage 15mins of art a day that will definitely fuck me up.

ghost reacted to Total Saikou in Your blood type!
Made sure to search MH and I’m shocked that a VK forum hasn’t talked about one of Japan’s favourite personality codifiers: Blood Types. If you haven’t heard of blood type theory, you can quickly scan the Wiki or read an article but basically it’s the belief that one’s personality is partially influenced by the type of blood that runs in your veins. It’s like astrology in the sense that it’s a rough outline for what you’re like as a person (also it’s not scientifically proven).
I’m a B-type! B+ to be precise. I found out in my senior year biology class when we took samples of our blood to find out our blood-types in order to learn more about them. I was the only B in the whole room Everyone else was either O or A.
B-types are said to be creative, passionate, flexible and curious. Our downsides are that we’re said to be selfish, uncooperative and irresponsible. I think this sort of fits me? I can be quite passionate, expressive and strong-willed. I get called based all the time, hehe. Plus flexible, yes, I am definitely not the anal A-type at all. I’m so far from being a perfectionist, which is what A-types are mainly categorised as. The issue is that B-types are described as outgoing and I’m really shy around strangers and generally reserved with most people. Also, no one’s ever called me selfish or anything like that, my parents included (I’ve been criticised for other things). Especially irresponsible? People have looked up to me as a shining example of conscientiousness and studiousness…
Anyway, there seems to be a decent amount of B-type guys in the VK scene, so if it means that I’ve got that same punky spirit in me then I’m happy to be a B-type! Some of my favourite B-type bandomen are Gokimi (Tokyo Heroes, Guru Guru Eigakan), Yoshiyuki Shimizu (Shinjuku Gewalt, Cosmo-Shiki), and Kenjirou Murai (Cali Gari).
Final tidbit: did you know that your race impacts what kind of blood type you’re likely to have? Where I originate from (Central Asia), B-type is the majority blood type. For white people, there are many O-types. In Japan, A-type is the most common.
What’s your blood type, MH peeps? If you know it, that is. You can also elaborate if you're + or -. Do you think it fits your personality? And which of your favourite bandomen do you have a blood type in common with?

ghost got a reaction from beni in The Upcoming Video Game Discussion Topic

To stay on topic, interesting concept for a reverse-horror game where you play as the monster terrorizing people. Definitely picking this up for switch:

ghost reacted to SlaySlavery in What are some bands with huge fan base but after disbandment, the members go on to form underwhelming bands?
And vice versa? I was listening to old school visual kei (UnsraW & Dio) today and thought about this. Both bands would certainly do better if they had stuck together.

This is great news! Despite the general consensus, I really did enjoy their later material before they stopped activities. We need another Black Swan and Door to the Sky!

ghost got a reaction from Total Saikou in Artists you slept on for too long
The GazettE. The first song I heard by them was "Agony" and I got so turned off thinking they were some kind of shitty nu-metal band. Thank Yoshiki I was wrong and gave them another chance later on.

ghost got a reaction from nullmoon in POLL: Best time to take a shower
my roomate: When's the last time you took a shower? You look filthy.
me, an intellectual:
I'm an evening washer. I usually end up showering right before I hit the sheets but try to wash up a few hours before going to bed so my hair has time to dry and not form into weird shapes.

ghost reacted to platy in POLL: Best time to take a shower
I've got into debates about the best shower time with my friends.
Not only do some people like taking a shower first thing in the morning, they make it as cold as possible. (masochists)
For me it depends, during winter I prefer night showers so I can go to bed warm. In warmer weather, it can vary but I still lean towards a shower later in the day.
What about you?
