My new metal tune

[DankStar]

Just finished 'er up today. Thought I'd get some feedback. Critiques welcome. Be gentle...

*Beware* only listen if you like your metal with lots of 80s/90s cheese:

Latest Mastered Version (a little tighter low end):

Guitar tone is nice and smooth.
Needs to be bigger. maybe grittier.
What are you using for drums and bass?
I hear white zombie and megadeth influences.
That solo was definately mustaine inspired...sounded good.

Re: My new metal tune

hey, I gotta hit! I've only checked back about 800 times since I posted, praying to the godz of metal for a response. :laugh2: Thanks!

Drums were done using a Yamaha TMX module into triggers (piezo speakers) mounted on PVC stands (I don't really recommend this method). Recorded in groups: bass by itself, snare by itself, toms together, etc. Played to a click (which accidentally came through in two spots). :smack:

Bass guitar was basically a Hamer 5-string into an ART MP preamp, into a Behringer ultra-G, into an alesis compressor, into a mixer, into the computer. I cranked up the input gain on the ART to get a little bit of oomph, without trying to go too far into distortion territory.

I realized I probably should have done some more rhythm tracks. Two (L and R) wasn't really enough. I think I'll be doing 4 next time around.
