Yeah, I can hear his doubled voice during that part of "Stairway", as well as most other parts of their songs where there is a chorus-like emphasis. But I don't hear it at all in the other verses. I also have an outtake of "Trampled Underfoot" where his original vocal track was duplicated...

I know it depends on the song and performance, but when vocals are doubled, are the tracks typically brought up at the same level? Because to my ears, the slight inconsistencies in pitch typically hinder the vocal performance-especially when both are brought straight up the middle. People have...

For me, his greatness doesn't translate well to recordings. His talent is best appreciated when seen live, particularly in a small venue.

As you suspect, 4/4 is too slow. Danceable music is actually speeded up to 1/4. This means that the dancer has only a 1 out of 4 chance to land on the beat. Because of the short window of time, the dancer moves faster, and the reflex of the quick action is what makes the person's body appear to...

Even for the most basic rap demo, you will need to spend money, particularly on drums. You will want to get the highest quality drums. Don't skimp on toms and make sure you get two kicks. You'll also want fender strats with tons of fuzz. I recommend Ibinez distortion pedals and single state...

Most of the Ozzy years ranged from dark imagery (more as in the telling of a horror story as opposed to professing love for Satan), going crazy, armageddon, and drug abuse. Many times his lyrics actually carried a positive meaning, one excellent example being the last verse of "National Acrobat"...

You should hang out in the "Contemporary Devil Worship Music" thread. Two pages so far and not a whole lot of conflict.

If you go on the premise, from the Christian thread, that by definition religious music has to have religious lyrics, then you can actually make an argument that Black Sabbath wrote pro-religious music: From "After Forever" on Master of Reality Have you ever thought about your soul - can it...

"The flipside [to Black Metal is] White Metal or Christian Rock; most famous example being Stryper, one listenable example being Mass, only brilliant example being Trouble, who worship at the Church of Suicidal Christianity. Usually a scarier proposition than black metal." -Martin Popoff

Immersing myself in various artists to the point where those things I like most about their music becomes a natural part of my style of writing.

Try it and give a listen, although I suspect your mix will too bottom heavy, and unless you play tightly on both bass parts, it will come out sloppy. I would go for adding reverb or slight delay to the guitar, panning it in the opposite direction.

I had a similar situation. I found out the cause for me was my Art Tube pre. I switched to the pres on my analog mixer and the problem disappeared. There was also an improvement in sound.

Most recording software allows for simultaneous tracking. What you will need to look for is either a soundcard with multiple in/outs or a soundcard interface that will act as an adapter to convert your signals into separate tracks. A common soundcard dedicated to recording multiple tracks is...

I'll take the drum kit. At least I'd have something to practice on.

Oh sorry, didn't you get the memo, Pissy McPissy Pants? :D

So is cutting a new acoustic track to a mix with just lead vocals and vox! :D

Oh shit... I just remembered that I too have a peavy bass amp, collecting dust since I record all direct. The thing is heavy and may be far too much in shipping cost. Another thing I could bring and stick up FLG's ass to jamfest.

I've got a Takamine "Marshal copy" acoustic guitar that's pretty much worthless-no pawn shop will take it. The action is tough as shit on the fingers. It has a half-decent sound to it though. Unfortunately I have no case for it, so shipping it may be an ass pain, however, come to jamfest '07 and...

Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand".

I had my pc custom built because if I have to install components, I don't have to be a contortionist to do so. Plus, the people who customized it didn't put any proprietary software on it, which makes booting up a very clean and fast process. Without the internet, I know what goes into the...
