My debut..(rough draft)

[bones_19l]

Thanks for the quick responseEric.
This is just over 7 minutes, rough draft 6.4megs. Here's what I did for this arrangement.
I started with a guild six string accoustic and played the sequence in real time. (sucks to be a drummer later)
I then looped the rythm through distortion and layed down the dup with some rasp. I also added 2 real electric rythms, and a aynth track with an old Krumar using the slide filters. I did the base next plugging direct with a Bquad4 I have, and then I used a midi keyboard and jammed the drums in real time using the keys. For the lead guitar, I played a melodic track, but I didn't like the flow. As an experiment, I moved the solo ahead of the start point by four beats, giving it a grace start into the 1 beat of the measure. By chance, It really gave it a cool feel. I then used dynamic transposing, and copied the solo in 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths, using bits of each for harmony as the chording changed. I did another version of the solo, and liked them both, so I copied the sequence, added a low tom boom with reverb followed by silence as a turn back into one more lead sequence. THen i broke it back down after a synth highlight, into a melodic bass solo. It was kind of flloydish. After it built back up from the "intro return" one more verse, (vocals a little easier to hear I enhanced the volume slightly) then, i bit some harmonics, and let it fade out.
Here's the link.

I have to admit it was easier to listen to than to follow your description of the recording process. The bottom line is that it sounds really good, so all your work paid off. You did a good job of manually triggering the drums after laying down the other tracks. I've tried that before and it's not easy at all. The vocal part is a bit indistinct. The performance on it sounds good and could stand to be cleaner and higher in the mix. It reminds me a little of Creed and little of Alice in Chains.

Your guitar work is very solid and the tones are very good. The keyboards that come in at the 4:30 mark sound really decent. It's a very creative composition and arrangement. Will look forward to hearing more of your music.

Sounds great, I enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to more.

I listened to this a couple of hours ago and had it on repeat. The production job is superb. the playing is great - I love the bass later on in the song. The vocals are very impressive -you sound like you would do well in the comp this month - the metallica theme is right up your alley (vocal wise at least).

that was a cool tune man, i can only imagine how much time was put into makin this..the way ya made it went over my head but non the less it turned out killa

[SLoB]

Awsome!

killer main demonic riff!!
3:48 onwards is superb esp the unison stuff at approx 4:12
thought the vocals could go well up in the mix tho, they sounded great, push them up in the mix a bit to bring them screaming out

thought there was a little too much in the chorus tho (if you got 4ths in the chorus @ 1:28 and 6:00? might sound better without em)

thought the song might have sounded completely different from the intro

look 4ward to some more stuff!!!!

[KGO]

yeah that stuff kinda goes over my head as well ... im always flippn my computer off and almost throwing it across the room cause i cant make it record 2 tracks with a balanced volume much less all this well put together stuff....really nice man ...well played and well put togther
