    WhereEaglesDare - Fair enough then. :D joeym - Thanks heaps man. All the guitar skills come ith practice, and I've had help from a lot of people on the internet and friends locally in town with my recording, and I think my stuff sounds fairly decent because I have a fairly good understanding of...

    SteveE9C6 - Thankyou. I've been doing a lot of recording to try and clean up my technique a lot, because I am sick of being sloppy. The two solos at the end are improvised and are really different to other takes that I was trying out, and they fit best and were cleanest. Also, I'm not sure what...

    Yeh. I haven't listened to metallica for a while but ever since I thought about wanting to record I've wanted to cover plenty of their songs so I thought I'd give it a go inbetween playing death metal and writing death metal. I'm glad you liked it.

    Yeh the vox are definitely too loud in sky of maggots. I had them sitting good but I re-recorded everything with a different tone when I came up with new riffs and deleted the bass track (planned to do it again but forgot) and didn't touch the vocals. As i said, that recording isn't mixed as...

    paranoia?

    I like it man. A few things you might want to look at... Either bring everything besides the vocals up just a TAD or take your vocals down just a little bit, just to make everything else sound more balanced. The vocals are in a very different style, but they fit the song quite well I think...

    It really depends what type of sound you're after. It has a 'treadplate' model which is a modeller or a dual rectifier, a few models that replicate JCM900 marshalls, a 'slo-100' which models soldano heads and then a few ones line6 made up themselves. When I didn't have the metalshop packs I used...

    1. Yes, making sure you've got leads to plug guitars into the toneport and also a mic lead to plug a microphone into it. 2. Yea you can add lots of effects like phaser, chorus, delay, etc. all the regular guitar effects. I also add an overdrive pedal infront of my amps for a tonal variation. 3...

    I'm not familiar with what a 'good' bass tone is or anything like that and I have a hard time mixing bass. For 'sanitarium' I actually had a clean bass sound for the clean parts and a seperate bass tone for the distorted parts with some dirt on it. I think for clean I used a bass amp and for...

    I would recommend it EXTREMELY highly. It's basically a little box you can plug guitars directly into, or also mics (I have a UX2 so I can plug two mics into mine) and it comes with some guitar models, some bass models (both amps and cabs) and also some pre-amp models for vocals and such, as...

    unet - Thanks for the comments man. I state everything I record through in my original post. I'm glad you liked them. ido1957 - I've only been recording for a few months to be honest, but I know some people on the net who are very informative and always share insight, plus I've always had a...

    ambient mix

    It sounds pretty good man. I think maybe the snare could benefit from being EQ'd slightly differently to take out that 'honky' aspect to it. I think the bass could maybe be a little higher too. The clean guitars sound great, but the distorted guitars are adding a fizzy frequency which doesn't...

    Boogie

    Well I meant I don't know much about recording/mixing that stuff because I'm a metalhead, but it all still sounds great man. It was a really cool song.

    Hi guys, I've been lurking on these forums for a while but this is the first time I've ever posted something. Everyone here seems cool and seems to know what they're talking about, and I'd appreciate feedback on my recordings if you would be so kind as to give it. :) I'm quite happy with the...

    Carcassi - EQ balance?

    This sounds incredible. The EQ is nice (maybe a touch more highs like mentioned previously) but it's not really huge deal. It sounds very very good.

    Mezmerize

    I can hear the clipping too. It's definitely something to do with the kick drum. It's not there all the time though. In the sort of quieter part directly after the intro the bass drum isn't clipping but it definitely sounds too in your face and prominent in the mix, and is EQ'd in a very...

    Boogie

    It's a cool little song man. I agree that the vocals are a bit loud, but other than that it all sounds cool. It's nice and different. I think the flutes sound good, but I think it could benefit from the piano being a bit louder to add more tone colour variations to the overall mix. Maybe even...

    At The Gates cover song

    Sound spretty good man. I have a mate who might be able to do vocals over it but probably not for a while. I think the guitar tone sounds a little weak in a way, but it's kind of close to the original and their tone had a really weird quality to it on that album, which was great. Maybe also...

    This sounds amazing. The song itself is written really well and I like how it flows into a nice big sounding ending, and the harmonies are great. Good work man!
