    Arabic Instrumental Metal

    This is an Arabic style metal song, I tried to do something unconventional, different from the typical fair of melodic metal. I worked very hard at writing and recording this, it took a lot out of me, but admittedly I didn't spend much time on mixing. I can vaguely sense timing problems but I...

    Melodic Speed\Thrash Metal Instr.

    My playing is not as tight as I would like it to be, I don't feel that it really flows very well, and some of the drum programming is questionable. Needless to say there is room for improvement but I gave it my all and this is the result. Mixing wise, the drums don't sound like I wanted them...

    Physical limits of drummers?

    I am programming drums and don't know if this rhythm is humanly possible, I don't want it to sound robotic. It's simply a continuous 16th note pattern at 190bpm on the toms for three measures. each tom gets 4 hits: aaaabbbbccccaaaabbbbcccc etc for three measures

    Effect for distorted electric guitar leads

    I am looking to create a sort of chimey quality to distorted electric guitar solos, much like a distortion harmonic. Is there any effects or EQ techniques that could help me do this, or is this primarily related to guitar\amp? I am mic'ing a tube amp with an SM57.

    Condenser in an untreated room

    Currently I have a single SM57 close-miced on my cab and am very happy with the tone. However I would like to experiment with condensers and see what they can do for me. My question is, since a condenser is going to pick up more room sound, and the room in untreated, will it kill my recording...

    Folk Metal Instrumental mix and music impressions.

    I wrote this long time ago and decided to re-record a more polished version. In hindsight I can see several problems: there are no interesting transitions between the melodies, just some generic drum fills, in general programmed drums will never sound as good as the real thing, I did my best to...

    Metal Mix: with M-Audio BX5a

    I got a new pair of BX5a's, and worked on this metal track for a few of hours. The mix was actually fine before but I figured I would tweak it just a tad with the new monitors. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6538678 Drums need a lot of work, any opinions on how they sit/sound is...

    Is it possible to get a good metal tone from distortion plugins?

    I have been using several amp sims and distortion plug ins and the problem is always crappy miced cabinet sounds. I am using Voxengo Boogex now and mic/cab emulation is actually excellent but the distortions are farty, messy but I haven't tweaked it much. My goal is to get a distortion tone as...

    7 string or baritone guitar?

    I am keeping my main E standard guitar for rock, jazz, blues etc. I plan of getting a second guitar for some detuned stuff like melodic death. There aren't many baritones but I really like the very deep bass tone, then again 7 string will make drop tunes stuff easier (I can drop tune on a...
