Hiya folks, Ive composed a few tracks in Guitar Pro 5, a MIDI guitar program (its easy for me and other band members to learn), but I'm now starting to produce very rough demos with slightly more realistic sounding instruments in my DAW. Ive got great MIDI drum and bass plugins that sound good...

Thanks man Sure, I realise that the singing isnt too hot, but I really enjoy it! Ha! I guess its good to be honest and admit that I will have to recruit someone better! Actually I generally prefer the vocals in all music to be lower in the mix than they usually are, I cant listen to modern R...

Thanks for the input bro, much appreciated. But what did you mean by the second point? Don't put fills in? I think without fills drums would be very boring. Maybe you mean that you cant get good ones with computer drums?

Here is another attempt with an older (better) take at the vox. Listening back to the first take I sound like Barry White! I think this one is more natural :D Although I agree that a better power metal singer is what is needed. Thanks for your input, Simon

Gotcha! Yeah, my voice isnt great and my range is too bassy, need to find Dio or Halford somewhere! Will take your advice and bring the drums forward in the mix. Im sure Im doing something wrong in the vocal recording stage, the volume is too jumpy. The DAW I'm using is reaper and I'm not...

Sounded great! I reckon the only thing would be to crank the bass up a notch and turn the rhythm guitars down slightly. Singing is great! the only tiny thing that I think could be improved is the first guitar solo (playing and tone), but thats just nit-picking. Well done!

I dont really know what I'm talking about as i'm no expert, but for me the vox were WAY too loud and need some high end scalped off. Cant hear a bass, could really do with one. Lead sounds good but too bright, would sound better with a touch more verb but less upper mids. The accoustic guitar...

Hi all, (Should warn ya that it is metal we are talking about here) I have been writing and recording music and ideas for a while, this is my second attempt and trying to do a decent sounding one. Drums are computerised but everything else was recorded by me in my room :) Other than getting...

Hi all, I just received some cubase files off my friend an album we recorded, but when I open them on my computer I cant do anything. My pc either freezes or is very slow. There are a hell of alot of tracks in each file (20+) so maybe my pc just isnt up to it; it is a few years old, but...
