2-kayanya musik Straight Out terinsipirasi scandinavian black/speed metal ya? kenapa? band mana aja yg paling berpengaruh membentuk karakter Straight Out?
(Looks like Scandinavian black/speed metal influenced you)

jawab:terlalu banyak band yang menginfluence kami,kami mendengarkan begitu banyak musik,tidak hanya punk,metal,hardcore atau apapun namanya,swedian metal & europian metal "we think that's great"

(Would you tell us a bit about band history)

+++++++
jawab:1 the agony scene,2 dead blue sky,3 avenged seven fold,4 the black dahlia murder,5 in flames.

6-menurut kalian sendiri genre musik Straight Out itu apa?
(Describe Straightout musical style)

jawab:kami memberi kebebasan kepada setiap orang untuk menilai genre musik apa yang kami mainkan,mungkin satu kata ini cukup mendeskripsikan jenis musik yang kami mainkan " M E T A L "
(We freed everyone to describe it, one word description from us: METAL)

7-kayaknya official website belum ada ya? Menurut kalian Internet berguna nggak buat promo
(Looks like you don't have official website yet. Do you think Internet is useful promotion media?)

jawab: tentu web berguna sekali untuk mempromosikan sebuah band,straightout web "under reconstruction" just wait.
(Sure web has tremendous benefits in band promotion. We're currently building it)

8-metal scenes di indonesia?-
(How about Indonesian metal scene?)

jawab:" metal adalah abadi,sampai kapanpun musik metal akan selalu ada,ini bukan trend,ini bukan musik musiman yang sebentar datang lalu pergi,ini adalah expresi untuk menggambarkan sisi lain dari seseorang,dan untuk di indonesia silakan kamu memandang dari kaca matamu sendiri.
(Metal is everlastingly existed. It'll stay forever. It is not a trend or seasoned short living music that is easy come, easy go. Metal is expression to portray another side of man. For Indonesia, see for yourself with your own view)

9-black metal = satanic?

jawab:blackmetal di luar negri " GREAT ",tapi untuk di indonesia terlalu di dramatisir,itu aja yang bisa kami bilang.
(Foreign black metal is GREAT but in Indonesia is dramatically hyped. That's all I can say)

Live

10-kapan gig terakhir Straight Out? yg paling berkesan dan paling ancur dimana & mengapa?
(Tell us your last gig, your best and worst gig, where and why)

jawab: 2 oct (GOOD FEST)& 10 oct (STAR MILD ROCK FEST) itu gigs yang paling mengesankan,kami tidak tahu mana yang bagus dan mana yang ancur karna kami selalu menikmati dan berusaha memberikan yang terbaik kepada semua orang yang datang,mungkin hanya audience yang dapat menilai
(Most impressive gigs were at GoodFest 2 October and StarMild Rock Fest at 10 October. We don't know which is the best or the worst gig since we're trying to give the best to all audience on every show so they have the right to judge).

11-bagaimana sikap Straight Out menghadapi sound system yg tidak layak?
(What will you do to bad sound system?)

jawab:" S U C K S " bagaimana sebuah band dapat bermain dengan bagus apabila sound systemnya tidak layak,mungkin ini pesan kecil dari setiap band kepada seluruh panitia penyelenggara acara musik,berusaha memaximalkan keaadaan,kami rasa itu jalan terbaik apabila ada kasus seperti ini.
(It S U C K S. How can a band play at their greatest performance if they given an awful sound system? Consider this as snail message to all event organizer committees. You guys please try to optimize the event at your best. That's might the best solution in this case)

12-pernah berpikir ngeluarin CD/VCD/DVD album live?
(Do you have plan to release live recording?)

jawab: ada,dan mudah2an akan terwujud dikedepannya.
(Yes I do. Hopefully will be realized in the future)

13-dalam live apakah ada additional musician atau hanya bertiga? gimana teknis mengcover solo (jika ada)+rhythm?
(In live situation do you employ additional musicians or just stick with trio? How do you cover solo and rhythm at the same time?)

jawab:siapa bilang kami bertiga?????? straightout ada 6 orang personel,kemana ajeee???????????udah punya albumnya belom?????
(Who the hell said we're trio? Straightout have 6 members. Are you conscious? Have you got the album yet?)
Editor Note: Fuck me! I forgot to edit this part; this question was intended for Panic Disorder! Hohoho...

14-gimana mengcover perpindahan distorsi ke akustik yg tiba2 gitu? tetep pake 1 gitar?
(How do you cover quick changes from distortion to acoustic? Do you use one guitar only?)
jawab:keterangan lebih lanjut baca di cover album straightout.
(See inlay card for details)

Lifestyle
15-antara lirik2 dalam lagu dan kehidupan kalian sehari2, apakah berhubungan atau 2 hal yg terpisah?
(Talking about lyrics, do they have relationship with your daily life?)

jawab: kami menulis apa yang kami alami,yang kami rasakan,dan yang kami buat adalah apa yang kami lihat,itu adalah emosi yang kami tuangkan,itu adalah harapan yang kami sandarkan,dan kami rasa untuk saat ini itu cukup untuk menggambarkan keberadaan kami sekarang ini.
(We wrote what we're involved into, what we feel and what we see into emotional expression, hopes that we wish, and we think that shows our existence, until now)

16-sikap keluarga terhadap aktifitas bermusik?
(How's family support to your musical activity?)

jawab:" B A I K "
(G O O D)

Songwriting
17-aransemen lagu2 dan lirik kalian sangat bagus. pernah ikut sekolah musik?
(You guys have excellent songwriting/arrangement skill. Have you got formal course in music?)

jawab: makasih untuk pujiannya,kami semua otodidak tidak ada yang sekolah musik
(Thanks for that. We're all autodidact. None got formal music school)

18-apakah kalian sering berantem dalam proses penulisan suatu lagu?
(Are you guys fighting each other when writing a song?)

jawab: tidak,semua materi yang dibuat selalu dirundingkan.
(No. All material made has been compromised between us)

19-siapa yg menghandel tugas penulisan pattern/groove lagu?
(who wrote pattern/groove?)

jawab:pipinx pada posisi giar yang membuat pattern keseluruhan lagu,lalu kita kemas dengan semampu kita di studio,segala macam kekurangan kita lengkapi di studio,kemudian kita rekam apabila kita sudah menganggap ini maximal,untuk lyrik hampir semua personel menulis lyrik di album " UNDYING BEAUTY......."

(Pipinx the guitarist made the entire song pattern. Then we beautify it as good as we can in studio before recorded it. All members wrote the lyrics)

20-pernah mencoba bereksperimen untuk ganti aliran musik?
(Did you ever experiment your musical style?)

jawab:pernah,tapi kami menuangkannya bukan di straightout,karna ada beberapa member di straightout yang mempunyai band yang musiknya berbeda dengan straightout.
(Yes we did. But we realized it outside Straightout. We have members in the band with their own band with different style)

21-bagaimana kontribusi mmember lainnya dalam penulisa lagu? yg female voice bukan anggota resmi (additional) ya.
(How's member contribution in songwriting? The female one is additional musician isn't it?)

jawab:semua member memberikan kontribusi yang total di band,dalam musik maupun lyrik,benar sekali yang female voice hanya additional.
(All members have total contribution to the band, whether in music or lyric. Yes the female is additional musician)

22-kayaknya tuning strings gak terlalu rendah, apakah standard/drop D?
(Guitar wise, what's your tuning?)

jawab: kami memakai drop " C " dengan ukuran senar 0,12 agar terdengar lebih berat saat di "deep".
(We use Drop C with 0.12-set gauges to make it heavy on the deep side of the song).

Production
23-ada kendala untuk proses produksi "Undying.."
(did you face any constraint during "Undying.."production?)

jawab: kendala pasti akan selalu ada,tapi akhirnya album "undying..." bisa rampung juga setelah terlambat 2 tahun pada proses recordingnya.
(It's always inevitable, but finally we can finished it after 2 years of making) 

                      
24-gimana kalian merekam gitar dan bass? todong? overdub?
(How did you record guitar and bass track? Mic'ed cabinet? Overdub?)

jawab:bayak kesalahan yang kami alami pada saat recording prosses berlangsung,tapi mudah2an akan lebih baik pada album ke-2, 80% direct dan 20% todong pada album undying
(Honestly we were making so many mistakes during recording process, but we hope the second release will be better. In "Undying.." we applied 80% direct and 20% mic'ed cabinet)

25-boleh tau gear yang dipakai (instrument, effect, amp, cab, drums, etc)
(what sort of gear you guys used in the making?)

jawab:equipment yang dipunyai straightout,( marshall JCM 2000 TSL 100 head cabinet tabung ) ( 2 buah gitar JACKSON U.S.A SERIES -DINGKY XL-) (,1 buah gitar EPIPHONE SG-buat cadangan (GITAR EFFECT G-T 6 BOSS) ( bass IBANEZ TBT ) ( keyboard YAMAHA PSR ) & ( 1 SET PEARL DRUM lengkap dengan cymbal & sepasang chenes crash ) tapi bebera equipment tersebut baru kita beli setelah proses rekaman album undying selesai.jadi kurang maximal hasilnya pada album undying,mungkin bisa lebih baik pada album berikutnya.
(We have Marshall JCM2000 TSL 100 tube head, 2 Jackson USA series Dingky XL, 1 Epiphone SG for backup, BOSS GT-6 guitar effects, Ibanez TBT bass, Yamaha PSR Keys, 1 set Pearl drum with cymbals and chimes crash. We have bought some new gear after Undying is done so you can see that album weren't maximized. Hopefully we'll do better next time)

26-apakah kalian memakai efek voice processing untuk vocal yg growl?
(Did you use voice processing on growling voices?)

JAWAB: T I D A K
(N O)

27-gimana cara kalian berpromosi? apa ada skedul promo tour "Undying.
(how do you set promotion? Do you have promo tour?)

jawab: menurut kami promo2 yang kami lakukan untuk di jakarta saja sudah cukup,tapi mungkin masih kurang untuk didaerahnya,27 juli yang lalu kami sudah launcing album undying di jakarta,dan cukup lah manggung di tempat2 lain untuk promo undying,january 2005 nanti ada 2 band malaysia yang mau datang ke jakarta,typikal musiknya metalcore,terinfluence oleh banyak band2 eropa & us,band ini mempunyai label yang sama dengan straightout pada format CD-nya,yaitu DYSLEXIA RECORDS,kami berencana akan menggelar beberapa panggung,agendanya masih dipersiapkan sampai saat ini,jika di kota kamu tertarik ingin bantu bergabung silakan hub pipinx di ( 0817786332 )
(We think that what we did in Jakarta is enough, but not in other districts. At 27 July we have done album-launching event in Jakarta and we did some gigs in other area. At January 2005 we plan to do few shows with two Malaysian metalcore bands whose influenced by European and US, those bands are under same label with us, Dyslexia Records. We're preparing the agenda so if you want to help us including your town in the gig list, call Pipinx at 0817786332)

28-menurut kalian apakah orang2 dibalik mixer dan mastering deck mengerti benar tentang karakter yg kalian mainkan?
(Do you think people on the mixing and mastering know exactly the character you're playing?)

jawab: sekarang kami mempunyai seorang sound engenir yang tahu benar tentang misik yang kami mainkan,kami selalu membawa  sound engenir setiap kali kami manggung.
(Now we have one sound engineer that knows exactly what we play. We always employ him on every show)

(In the process)

Last Words
