What is it about?
This article examines how a new technology called guitar profiling is changing the way metal music is produced. Guitar profiling allows producers to digitally copy and manipulate the sound of any guitar amplifier, making it easier to create and experiment with unique tones. Through interviews with experienced German metal producers, the study reveals that while this technology is widely appreciated for its flexibility, many producers still prefer traditional methods and equipment for key parts of their work. The research highlights the tension between embracing innovation and preserving established practices in metal music production.
