I listened to the master of puppets clip and it sounded like blown speakers.

nobody has any thoughts?
What are you looking for?You'll have to be more specific about the type of feedback you're looking for or most people will think you're just a "hit-N-runner" trying to get hits for your website.

i'm just curious to know what people think of my writing, playing, mixing job, etc.

maybe your speakers are blown :rolleyes:

No. They might be shitty, but they're not blown...
Seriously, does that clip sound good to you? Or anyone else?

what sounds shitty about it to you? specifically? you're not helping much if you don't give examples.
 
It's very distorted especially in the low end. It makes crackling sounds like blown speakers.
 
i just listened to it again on decent headphones and i still don't hear it.
 
Then you need new ears!:p
Seriously, no offense, it sounds well played but the recording sucks. I just listened to it on headphones and it is just as bad as the monitors.

I'm no recording expert but I do know that doesn't sound good.

Is there anyone else that would like to give some input to the "master" clip?
 
and also any thoughts on the other stuff? i'm particularly curious as to thoughts on the mixing on The Necromancer and "Another new melodic thing" because of the number of tracks and amount of layering on them.

part of the thing with the MoP clip is that i was attempting to get close to metallica's tone on the album, and it sounded better before i recorded it, so the bottom is a little boomy, but that's all i can really see. i have a variation on that tone that i created to sound similar to my actual amp that has a bit less bass and sounds better. i haven't posted any clips of that tho, b/c i haven't done any real recordings with that tone yet.
 
The Necromancer

Something about a death-mancer... ok... a lot of dead air at the beginning... haha get it? Dead air :o (I'm an idiot ;))

Reminds me of samicide's approach, w/out quite the skill level, or quality recording. Guitars do sound big... you're using a Pod, or something. J-Station, possibly. Well played... Everything's really "washy" in this mp3, so it's hard to tell if the muffly, muddy stuff is just mp3 noise...

Skillful arpeggios on the keys, there. Phantom of the opera.

Do you use a pop-filter on vocs? Quite a few plosives there. I'm thinking the guits swishyness stuff is mp3 noise... so I can't really comment on anything but generalities like... levels... which aren't bad... except when the vocs peak out around 2 db too loud for your mix.

Eq... mp3 noise... difficult to say.

Would like nice, clean gtrs with some good reverb on 'em... keys kind of spread across both spkrs (use a short delay), and vocs with some verb, but not as much as the gtrs (feed both into the same cathedral reverb, making the vocs dryer...)

That would be a suggestion to use with clean tracks... but I can't tell for sure if you tracked OK here, or not because of the mp3 noise.

Good work. W.I.S.C. might like this. Sam would probably give it a thumbs up.

As far as MOP...

Well played... the mp3 artifacts are very noticeable... like birds chirping on every note... but the gtr sounds good other than that. Some timing problems... but not bad. (subtractor... could be your player... Winamp3 makes some files sound really, really bad... and Winamp 2.78 sounds just fine on 'em).
