    My half a song in under 30 minutes

    http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/10/1444/singles.shtml Sava - Bored. I was screwing around on a bulletin board while watching the making of Sum41's new video on mtv and wrote some joke lyrics to mess with a guy. Then I thought I'd get pretty goofy and record it real quick. So, less than...

    Mixing 101 (almost dumb questions)

    I've read a bazillion articles everywhere going through the arcane aspects of mixing and I realize that there are tons of things that I am missing, that I should already know. So, I figure this would be a nice way to answer what must be really basic questions. I'll start with a few, hopefully...

    t-racks

    I've gotten the best analog response by running t-racks on a win emulator running on my Amiga. Anything newer sounds too digital. I also use a gray scale monitor and that really helps too.

    Another Swamp Prog Metal song

    ok, taking some of the advice I got from the last track, I have applied those ideas to this track(once I get all 10 songs completed, then I'll go back and remix them together using the little bits of info I'm getting from each one of these)...

    a little country anyone ?

    Excellent! I'm a huge fan of late 50's/early 60's country and this has that great feel. I hear a lot of the Derailers in the music and especially in your voice...not a blatant thing, just a great Bakersfield tone to it. the fruity loops tones are pretty obvious, but don't distract from the...

    Here's my OWN song for a change

    raise the fist of the metal child! The intro was killing me... a few parts felt out of tune... although it could just be the chorusy effect with the note choices. Very Master of Puppets/Battery-ish. Then we get into the meat of the song and things start getting good. Nice basic early 90s...

    Swamp Prog Metal Song

    let's see now. Nope, I've only listened to about half a nightwish song and the operatic voice over the almost death metal music didn't do it for me. It sounded forced to my ears. The instrument is a harpsichord... a very spinal-tapish met'l sound. Maiden influence? That could definitely be...

    Swamp Prog Metal Song

    ahhhhh, now I understand about the processed feel. The guitars are a mixture of live amp and v-amp... most of the rhythm was done with a crate blue voodoo amp - then I layered an almost ac/dc level distortion guitar from the v-amp to thicken the sound. But that processed sound you are talking...

    Swamp Prog Metal Song

    thanks for listening! The vocals... well, like i said, I'm not a fan... but the only vocalists I've found on the net to work with weren't reliable and basically felt good to complete a song a year... which I'm too impatient to wait for, so I faked them until someone/anyone better comes along...

    I'm sending this to a radio station...unless told otherwise

    well, I've been listening to your stuff non-stop for the past week... and now sorting through the threads here I realize, "hey, it's that B Sabbath guy." doh! I can't honestly think of anything to change, you do extremely cool stuff. Great vocals, that was the first thing that grabbed me about...

    Swamp Prog Metal Song

    This song is posted as bait for a singer, as I'm not much of one. It's a swamp prog(my own term, since modern metal heads love sub-genres lol) song. The mix is the best I've come up with so far, but something about is still lacking. Any help is greatly appreciated. And any singers wanna...

    heavy metal mp3

    the guitars need 'oomphed up' quite a bit. If you mic'ed them I'd try moving the mic a bit. Everyone else is right that you need to at least double them up a bit. Right now the sound is very bare. It's got a very early 80's sound to it, and if that's what you are shooting for I'd go for a...

    Mixing my first album for another band.. feedback please

    my first impression is that the instruments all seem to fade into each other and I can't get a definite feel for any of them... it's kind of blurry(wow, I'm so technical). I think for metal you need a bigger sound on the drums... they get buried underneath the guitars at times. I like the...

    amp simulators

    I was just reading in the new Guitar World and Rivers from Weezer said they don't use amps on tour. They use POD pros. He still uses marshalls in the studio, but thinks the POD Pro is the best way to go live. Less gear. Less change in tone from venue to venue. In arenas, most people can't...

    Glad I bought the V-AMP and not the POD.

    for all the amp and mic purists, I ask: Can you get me a mic and an amp for 99 bucks(what I paid for my V-amp) that will give me the tonal choices of the V-amp and will also allow me to record at 2:00a.m. in my apartment without getting me evicted. If you can do that for me, I'll buy 2 of...

    Basic Mixing Help

    doh! Definitely need to redo the vocals. On the drums, is it the out of time bit on Kung Fu Grip that gets you, or is it the tone or what? They are definitely a problem area. btw - the guitars are detuned down to C, no pitchshifting. The basic influences on those tracks would be the first...

    Basic Mixing Help

    thanx for the listen! The drums were soundfont through Sonar and when i was turning them into wav, i was also doing too many other things on the pc, hence the timing issue, but fortunately that was an easy one to fix. I'll give the solo a different mix, which is gonna be pretty painless cuz I...

    Basic Mixing Help

    Please help me. The mix sounds ok, but it doesn't have any 'punch' or 'polish' to it and I have no idea how to add that little something extra. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/4/1377/singles.shtml The song is Kung Fu Grip. It's in the Doom/Stoner rock genre. Now, I'm very happy with the...

    Wah wah a go go!

    I usually dont mind different sounding drums and once the song began they kind of became acceptable, but the intro part where you just have the drum beat was not very pleasant. It kind of highlighted the fakeness of them, but the song itself didn't feel like you were going for an electronic...
