What tuning do you guys use in your bands? Anyone prefer drop tunings over standard tunings?

last 2 bands i've played in were in drop c#. current one played in C for a while but it was sounding too muddy. I write most of my stuff in B though...

Depends on what I want to play,

I keep my acoustic tuned down a half step

Standard tuning on electric for the most part, sometimes I'll fuck around with Drop C.

I employ a slightly out of tune standard tuning because I can't tune + I trash it + I don't tune especially often

Standard tuning
for acoustic guitar I tend to use the F A C G C E tuning a lot

In Alenah we play in Drop D, in my other The Chariot-ish band we play in Drop C. I like drop B a ton too.

Old band used Drop D and standard. In my new band we've written 2 songs in open F but I always keep my bass in standard unless I need to go lower.

Interesting. I used to tune in Drop D while playing electric because I loved the freedom it enabled (I'm thinking of Saetia's "Notres Langues Nous Trompent"), in that I could easily access a power chord and hit some dissonance in the higher register, but standard is definitely where it's at right now. I know shit-all about musical theory or notation, but I've found that I'll come up with some more intriguing mistakes when I'll flub something in standard :lol:

Anyone screwed around with timbre or done something unconventional?
