I think for now you'll have to PM one of us asking for an invitation (to avoid random googlers from crashing the party)

Is an audiophile speaker system a better listening experience than an equivalent headphone?

I hate to be the grinch here but I would save every penny for a rainy day. You never know what the future brings. If you have bills, take care of those of course. Things like music equipment are like a bottomless put where you can spend thousands and never be satisfied :lol: So unless you're ...

Hello, Hola, Hei, Bonjour!

We may be getting another stimulus check in the USA, SO....

Here is a new thread for things you need or want to buy. (Or stuff you're keeping an eye on currently to buy in the future.)

For me, it's going to be some piece of music equipment. Or...a retropie. Maybe ...

Glory of the World is an awesome song. Flavio, you are great! You belong on Mt. Olympus.

wow, you like to overdo it, huh? and then I thought that the exaggerated was Pancio because he was Italian? Ok, my grandparents and my mother are Italian and they are more exaggerated than a Benny Hill show. :roll:

I think if I can get the attention of a member of Stratovarius it would be a ...

I look at it like this. Maybe they figured the old style was played out. It also isn't like they tossed it all away. You can tell its Symphony X. Anyway, if you ever heard their really old songs, demos and all...now that production is sadly not too good.


You're right: they released a lot of ...

Do you like massive, powerful productions? Thundering drums, blistering guitars, guttural wails on every bar? Crystal clear soundscapes and celestial choirs? Then lets stop beating around the bush with rhetorical questions and address the Argentinian elephant in the room. Its high time for ...

Then I analyzed Eternal in their song My eternal dream, it's a fucking disaster, I don't know if it was the mixing or the mastering, but it doesn't seem like stratovarius, nor that they had the giant studio that they have, someone sent a huge shit with the sound :err:


Dear Mr. Ontivero,

I urge ...

So you don't like heavier music? Shame...like life we need to listen to dynamic music. But that's just me and my damaged brain talking. :lol:

The older albums production could use more power imho. Like strato production of the 90s. And the guitar tone, well not bad..it just is different. Don't ...

Danzig!! LOL!
I heard threshold before. Really good.
Like any Symphony X production? I know you mentioned you haven't heard newer ones. Iconoclast kicks a punch to my balls. I wish I knew the secrets to do anything remotely as heavy sounding. =P


I have heard the last two, but I didn't play them ...

Haha- if you want anyone to see your thread just put it in General Discussion or Other.

The good
As far as production goes, I like all the recent works from Threshold- especially Dead Reckoning, Hypothetical, Critical Mass. They are crystal clear and the songwriting / vocals are also spectacular ...

One small step for Flavio, one giant leap for mankind. :)


Thanks bro for your support :mrgreen:

Really you all make me happy. :mrgreen:



Great job, Flavio! I come to you bearing important news.

Matias Kupiainen has joined our Discord channel and even started chatting with us! :shock ...

Tribute to Stratovarius "Hell Edition"

Full of speed and Mad Powermetal with EPIC accesories


Fight!!!

Lmao!

You are right as always. Jorg was a very special and unique drummer that really left his footprint on the band. I suppose it was not just his style but the way drums were recorded and produced in the classic albums.

I had no idea Labyrinth is going to drop a new album this month!

Excellent!!! Enjoyed it. Like the backing vocals too ("atooomic fear!!!"). Bravo: I wonder what tune is next.....

ok, Bro, thanks for be honest with me, i'm not perfect and got a honest critic can help a lot :mrgreen:

I'm working in a new stratovarius production, is more calm that rhapsody for sure. The problem that is a Special version, is not like the original, and i dont find other score, but is ...

It's how you intimidate opponents in those sweaty, intense floorball matches.

Do you have an ultra high resolution photo of Timo Tolkki with a blue stripe across his face? I need it for a school project.

Bless your heart.

Nice!

On this day of Christmas, my true Flavio gave to me: one giant MIDI karaoke!

Dear Mr. Ontivero,

Well done! My favorite part was your monologue.

Yours truly,
Zenith :luv1:


THNAKS BROO!! :mrgreen:

i have the hope that the next stratovarius karaokes will sound better than the ones that i ...

You must be new here. Flavio runs this town. Flavio Ontivero. If you have a problem with him, you have a problem with all of us. Capiche???

What does this have to do with Flavio?

evil cat

No. He is very sweet. Perfect kitten. Tonight was a little rough. Bob, bruno and sparky were on the main road when an asshole drove past fast. I haven't found them. They were following me while going for a walk with the dog. I was told not to be so stressed about it. What person would ...

Great video Flavio! You are so charming when you speak in Spanish, like a football announcer. I can just imagine you commentating on live TV...dressed like a horse, of course...
