@@velcro4836 Thanks! Yeah it's easy to whistle while chilling but considerably harder to 'record' a whistle in the mic since the mic (even with the pop filter) picks up a lot of air especially during highs and lows when you're trying to get it perfect. The fact that Tim chose my whistle is enough to tell me I was good enough. Fun fact: I once recorded an easier whistle (which came out perfect!) for a buyer who rejected the delivery because he thought it was not a natural human whistle and more like a pipe/flute 😂

I think it was just the old model and musicians with weak egos who kept this sort of thing a dirty little secret. I’ve heard in particular of cases of session musicians being hired to come up with ideas for all sorts of massive bands and then obviously the bands themselves then go on to take all the credit. Polyphia is doing an amazing thing of opening up these sorts of processes.

Well, I guess these things are only natural, and I didn't even have to watch the vid to know Tim is influenced by others, he frequently mentions he has drilled a lot of stuff before, from Hendrix to classical music. Anyway, almost nobody seems to have the "balls" to ask these questions, so that we know a bit more about Tim: Here are my questions I would love to see answered: 1. Is Polyphia now almost entirely playing songs where every single 16-th note is hit by default as a total must, and as many 32-ths and sometimes even 64-ths are cramed into one beat as possible - to just flex on purpose? 2. Is it because they try to differentiate themselves from others, knowing a few, if any, would be able to repeat the same thing after them? Is it because they perceive this day and age being fast, and it is just a response to that? Or is it because they just want to be super-shredders? 3. Don't they think after one or two more albums with playing this super-fast, the continuous note hitting without any air and space will just become too much of an overkill - and get too boring? 4. Don't they plan to record at least ONE song with a bit more "space" in it? I mean, I know I am Gen X and this are new gen gentlemen, but still - here's a concert take by Henson (recorded when he was even years younger) - and played a beutiful solo with MUCH MORE SPACE in-between notes, and more headroom, than the super-tight, super compressed, super crammed style he prefers to play now (my generation would call this old Henson's solo FUSION btw.): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fN93jNSUxLSRmqc.html 5. It seems that people are just afraid to ask Tim what many would like to know, I believe. I don't want to get offensive in any way, but I have to ask this - why does Tim like so many feminine elements around him, starting with his clothing, through pink amp sims, to his hair style? Is it because his mother has had a great influence on him? My first thought was Tim is one of those guys who use female or even plural pronouns - but no, he seems to identify himself purely as male. So, WHAT is the influence behind this feminine styling of his? And, what does his girlfriend say about it? I am literally curious to know the answers. Thx

seeing your ableton tips are super helpful like the crushed chipmunk effect lol. and seeing the plugins you use is great. i love that you produce your own stuff, i think it says a lot in this day and age. i love how you use real instruments and hire other people and feature so many artists in just one song

The highlights were spot on - it's as if Tim knows what I'm curious about - the classic nylon super fast lick on the first part, the bossa nova section, and the WHISTLE MELODY! I thought it was a keyboard saw patch! 12-minutes masterclass seems so short, I enjoyed the entire video! Thank you for the opportunity of letting us see behind your great work!

I get PTSD when looking at Disabled tracks as it reminds me of my time with Ableton freezing everything to keep my 16GB of RAM in check with dozens of Sample Libraries. So on top of appreciating Tim as a guitarist, I also appreciate him as a producer. Mad respect, mad love.

seeing all the sound clips like that looks just like art and animation files, especially with the copy-pasting and drawing inspiration and additions from so many different people. it's so cool how no matter what the medium, when the focus is on creating something incredible, the creative process is all fundamentally the same: a lot of hard work from a lot of amazing people

If Tim told me: “well I wanted to write something that sounded like (xyz) so I fiddled around for a bit til I found something I liked, and wrote the song. Thanks for watching!”, I’d be like “Legend. How are they so good?!.” 😅 And now I’m even more impressed in general. I have a TON of respect for the musicality of Polyphia. I can’t wait for more.
