Haha I appreciate the input, I just get a feeling or emotion and write music that makes me feel like that *shrugs* It's not so much about the romance, more the excitement and joy I felt when we first started seeing each other. Not that there isn't excitement and joy now! LOL! Hopefully she...

That's a good idea Nola. I was thinking about the drums a bit here, I'm not a great drummer but I notice when I'm going to try a fill I tend to speed up/lighten the hits on whatever I'm going to do just before the fill so I'm going to try doing that with the drums a bit too. The vst I use does...

I think I know the part you guys are talking about. Lemme look at that. Maybe have to re-record the guitar there. Thanks guys!

Yeah I can't sing unfortunately. She knows I can't sing either. She's a pretty good vocalist and has tried teaching me but it's like trying to cram a square peg through a circle hole, it's just not happening. It's not that I didn't put effort into writing this, certainly the opposite. I...

Hey guys! I wrote this instrumental for the wife to give to her on our anniversary and I'm working on some new stuff of a similar style (but a little faster and heavier probably) and was wondering if you guys could make any suggestions on how I can make the song sound better overall. Did I...

You've got a good thrashy kinda scream dude, decent lows and frys IMO. There is a little bit of simbilance but whatever, sounds good to my ears. I've definitely heard a lot worse from professionals. Mix wise, I would like a little more clarity out of the (distorted) guitars if possible but...

Cool, it's only for a short little run. I think it'll be a neat way to transition to a different riff. Thanks bro

I want to find the name of the FX or a technique I can use for mixing my guitar. There is a section I am going to write where I want the guitar to do a quick little melody that alternates every 1 or 2 notes between left and right pan. Is there an easy way to do this or physically panning two...

Thanks for all the help, we can let this thread die now.

Yeah... I don't know what else I can do to really make the raw sound better. If I put my chest into the singing more, yes I'm louder and more dynamic but I'm also all over the place and completely off key. I'll try but this probably won't end well. I think I'll just hire someone to sing it...

Alright, another stab at this. https://soundcloud.com/omniwang I put up my raw on top of the mix it's called rough-raw, it might be a bit quiet but I can't really do much about that at this point without at least a compressor. I also put up the new EQ under rough3. Boosted my low a little to...

Okay so that notch thing was a godsend, dude. This is also my first song mixing so I am not super familiar with equalization yet, today was a good learning day as well. Knowing the notes to the melody I was singing I was able to find the specific words to cut with the notches. I completely...

Supercreep, Thanks for the honesty. Crushing as it may be, I appreciate it. Frankly, there is literally 0 chance the vocals can be on the same level as my guitar playing. We're talking 10 years off and on of guitar to a year maybe of really off and on vocals and no real training. When you...

Thanks for listening guys. I will try another mix with just the auto tune and maybe play with the EQ more when I get home? Rough2 was me playing with a couple things like 10mins before I left for work haha. TripleM, Thanks for the kind words man, I really love playing guitar. The song has a...

Hey Bruthish, yeah I've posted this a couple weeks ago when I just had the guitars. Been working on this ever since :P I will throw up a copy of the vocals without the auto-tune on there later on this evening. Unfortunately, it's a little hard to get the time to do a lot of takes in one...

Thanks for all the help, we can let this one die now.

Something folk. I dunno for sure.

Back on topic, I am going to record some vocals for the first time in a long while in the next week or so. I am not a vocalist by any stretch. I was watching a video on YouTube about pitch correction and saw a ghetto way to get the ambience and body of two separate takes but through use of...

This is what complicated music sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZKrwJzGg0k Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands and I've been listening to them for over a decade, so yes I am very familiar with tempo, key and sig changes. You just have your head up your ass which I will admit...

Maybe the samples are not realistic (they sound good to me) but playing like this is kinda the standard for most death or black metal bands. It's not uncommon at all.
