do nylon tapes cut through better than flats?

[perutxo]

Hi everyone,

I've never tried nylon tapes, but since I've read that they sound similar to flats but with a more pronounced high mids content, do you guys think that this would make tapes cut through the mix better than regular flats??


Thanks

DUDE- give it more than 7 minutes.

These strings sound good, however I've always experienced grounding issues when using them. I would advise you to stay clear IMO.

I don't think so. I find them to be a little bit more mellow than flats.

Try some ground roundwounds or half-rounds.

LaBella tapewounds are pretty lively.

i'd say in some ways yes. the thing with nylons is that they inhabit almost a completely different part of the spectrum from most strings - there is a huge, blooming low-mid range that is really warm and really fills out the low end of a band. down there you're not competing with any other instruments so in that way they do cut through well.

I find the tapewounds too be a little darker sounding,they do have that mellow full warm
bottom to them.
