Nah, the whammy Dt proofs you wrong

[@MetalGuitarTimo]

most metalheads are high af xD

[@RQ.140]

Being a guy who plays melodeath I've always liked high notes, I actually liked the first few tunings unironically up to that E3 low end.

[@SlimJimJoey]

Another hit

[@heck114]

Insert creed joke here

[@fortheSavior]

This is like an elementary school hearing test. "Raise your hand when you hear the tone"

[@i_want_my_shuggah]

THIS

[@EmptyTenementSpirit]

I love how it goes from actually sounding kind of cool, to literally sounding like ear damage personified, and then inexplicably becoming interdimensional communication noises from beyond the colours of time

[@CaptainDan21]

"We're at E3" This man is the only man who went to E3 this year...

The next video should be "the MIDDLEST Guitar tuning possible". The trilogy will be complete.

[@kazdangaming09PL]

Just Nick playing wonderwall in e standard for 9 minutes

[@mexstrat96]

He has to pitch shift all the down , and add another to pitch shift it back up = middle

[@heather2503]

Tune every string to the same note

[@i_want_my_shuggah]

​@@heather2503E RUSH

[@JustinAllegree]

Honestly, I think you hit the point where you were attempting to produce frequencies that your speakers were incapable of making lol Would love to see this on a huge powerful speaker.

[@Chev427BB]

The maximum frequency of most speakers is around 15-20kHz, plus anything above around 20kHz is usually inaudible to humans anyways so it would make sense that that's around the range the sound just gives up

[@ethantheenigma5513]

You also have to consider aliasing from most hardware not being built to handle such a high hertz input. Most can represent signals up to 22khz accurately but when your *funadamental* is like 12k-20k all the natural overtones are getting aliased. It's even worse when you're using distortion on top of that which produces even more overtones.

[@ariiincolur]

not all pitch shifters are built equal, The pitch shifter that he’s using in the video (kilohearts pitch shifter) has a very grainy sound when it’s pushed to extremes like this

[@crownjewel555]

The A5 - A9 dissonence sounded actually really cool. I would like to put it in a song, but im scared the pets would go wild.

[@douglasboylan3477]

I remember when downswing first hit the scene, I thought that their brand of "tuned up" metalcore was gonna gain some traction. At the time I thought the downtuning war was over. Evidently, the war was not over haha

[@TheMultiVerse64]

The war has just begun

[@cheesecakefriend28]

I never knew Nik could get any HIGHER.

[@fault2103]

Thank you Nik. Without this I never would have known that my tinnitus is an A#7. I don't know what to do with that information, but it's kinda neat and that's all I can ask for

[@chief8825]

There’s a tuning higher then drop D?

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

I'm shocked that Nik didn't even play Higher by Creed even once when doing this experiment

[@Dresden_Nova]

I am so glad I watched this with headphones on. Not connected or anything, just an extra layer between my ears and Nik Necromancer summoning ghosts.

[@tomcareless9316]

We so need song made of lowest and highest possible tunings

[@aidanmahoney9865]

Forget chug chug bree, we need wub wub *alien communication*

[@Madchris8828]

I always thought that super high could make some wacky ass noises. Basically contacting aliens is entirely possible we just haven't tried y'all 😂

[@Reece_Hart]

Sorry Creed we can not take you any higher then this

[@gutbucket6184]

Imagine a pinch harmonic on the highest note

[@chriscarhart4775]

8:18 "meow"

[@ingvarr6235]

So that was an interesting journey from ukulele metal to alien ukulele metal in 9 minutes.

[@ZemzyOseris]

6:05 That's just a horror game at this point.

[@Sam-uu2nx]

My body is physically rejecting these sounds

[@bintang_sakti]

3:56 can i play wonderwall on this tuning? “Sounds just as bad as it normaly does”💀💀💀

[@Ceann_Cait]

The E6 tuning shredding just sounds like the intro to an 8 bit Kirby song ^^ Would also be really interesting to hear a song that combines both videos, going between both min and max tunings

[@tokiyodorifto6446]

This man went so high his guitar gave up and went to heaven

[@spitter7657]

the high notes sounds kind of like a hearing test sounds.

[@lazytommy0]

Nik waking up at 3am inexplicably because of the demon he summoned through the astral plane wants revenge 🤣

[@James-lr3xg]

I learnt something from this. Low = deamons High = ghosts

[@pirate_duck4985]

Once you started getting into the horrifically high tones I started getting PTSD from my childhood & dial-up internet 😂

[@Kryptic-v1l]

Those high notes are like when you get hit in the head really hard and you just get that ringing noise.

[@RedLtdGuitar]

We need a series update to this where you are putting audio out of speakers capable of producing those frequencies. So that we can truly hear how high notes go

[@merijnbras8901]

Your phone/laptop or smart fridge would then also need to have speakers capable of producing them, and you have to make sure KZbin doesn't erase them while compressing. What you hear in the end when watching the video is the weakest link in the chain.

[@RedLtdGuitar]

Gotta love how it literally started screaming in pain with a voice for the last ones.

Some of the best Nik videos are the most terrible ideas I love it when we have goofy Nik videos 😂

[@christophertrogdon2308]

For some reason the early low frequencies reminded me of the Offspring. And some of those really high ones were insane.

[@metalcobra16]

Loved how it went from high to house hold appliance’s noises

[@anime_erotika585]

3:29, radio is ~4 MHz which is around B16, and also literally a different kind of matter tho

[@resq2nick]

3:20 sounds like lavender town

[@10pcnugget]

never thought i’d see the day when nik goes higher

[@TheMillennialGardener]

The human ear can only hear tones up to 20,000Hz. And that’s like really young, pristine ears, not our ears that have been destroyed from years of thrash metal. Also, my dog hated this video.

[@davesmith7671]

I actually have meniere's disease so have lost a huge chunk of my high end so i lost you before you decided to see how bad wonder wall sounded. So now im just watching your reaction to silence in the high notes. If i had my hearing aids in it would probably be an awful experience to be fair

[@deadinsidemcgee411]

Trust me, you don’t need your hearing aids. You heard enough poor child. I just wish my idiocy with animal deterrent flashbang grenades took more of my hearing so I didn’t have to listen to the bagpipe noises Nik eventually made.

[@graysonofthewood3747]

The notes went so high they became indistinguishable from my tinnitus

[@Lilith_Reaver]

my ears bleed.

[@TheSkinnyman28]

My dog has been searching around the house looking at the ceiling for the past hour trying to find the ghost making these sounds. Thanks Nik. 😂

[@peterbatten596]

I didn’t even watch the video yet but this already gave me ominous vibes of when @BaenaCarcosa did the “If Black Tongue tuned up”

No matter how high it goes, it still doesn't sound as annoying as the dentist tool.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

7:10 sounds like a phone ringtone for some reason

[@Goosebump837]

[@SeanMatts]

this man is calling all the possible dogs to form an army

[@xXN0SK1LLZXx]

After watching Rob Scallon talking to Mike Batio about how the days when rockers wanted higher and higher notes and that’s why they started using 7 strings. To go higher not lower. They would have love this. Btw deffo recommend watching if you haven’t it’s quite wholesome

[@Carnifex20]

Those ghost screams were awesome.

[@aucusticguitar8069]

If you're gonna use a pitch effect, use pitchwheel if you're playing live since it sounds great with no delay, but for post processing I would use Elastique pitch since it sounds insanely clean, but it has plugin delay

[@TLO_Yuri]

"comment about how your hearing is destroyed." It became synonymous with my tinnitus after a certain point so I couldn't tell the difference

[@Dareau]

My hearing is fine. My anxiety was through the roof. Even using a pitch shifter I still thought those strings were going to snap.

[@Ttothet]

Sounds like some sort of Korn breakdown... check for the dogs outside your house.

[@Itjustgotserious]

Riveting content as always Nik. Now I’m deaf though, you and your channel are going to be hearing from my lawyers soon.

[@wafflemanofficial3130]

The part at 7:10 was legit sick

[@andrewpappas9311]

I feel like these higher frequencies can literally break glass and it sounds awesome

[@sfzgyt]

the frequency is like 8.3 times higher than humans can hear so maybe.

[@BornSinners24]

You actually cured my hearing after hearing a 3.5 hour Tswift show. So I thank you sir

[@alexanderthered5603]

You ever think of doing a higher pitched song? There's a video of Pete Cottrell where he played Metallica riffs but tuned up and they sounded pretty awesome.

[@MrExPloSi0N]

That high E string tuning at 3:46 sounded like my tinnitus🥲

[@skullthunder3181]

Vektor is a modern thrash band that tunes to F standard. I cant think of many bands that tune up. I kinda liked the A# tuning, and the octave up tuning. It could be used for a computer tech-y type thing.

[@ff05t81t]

This would be a good test to see where tone truly comes from

[@mckeithenmccormick9642]

I remember Dave Mustaine saying that if he were going to use a 7-string guitar, the additional string would be higher, not lower. That said, everything over about 8kHz sounded screwy through whatever youtube did + my headphones + what a long history of loud music have done to my ears. Even so, somewhere north of 20kHz, all of my earwax melted and dribbled out. I'm favoriting this video to save on Q-Tips in the future.

[@Valliance1]

[@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191]

[@M.E.FProd.]

This was actually really entertaining to see you just fucking around with stuff that shouldn't be done. It's insane that the camera can't even pick up the 15Khz+ frequencies correctly. I think you might've unlocked a gate somewhere with the 168Khz
