Hey guys, just recorded this tonight! Got some better kick/snare samples, so the drums sound a ton better, and I used some tricks I learned on the Andy Sneap forum for the guitar tracks. All in all, I'm pretty happy with the result! Don't judge the mix too much, I haven't finalized it, nor even mixed the drumtracks or run the guitars through my BBE plugin. I'd really like opinions mostly on the song itself. It's quite a fast piece, 170BPM, in D minor. It's not quite finished, as I need to write more riffs and do some better arrangements, but those riffs that are in there I'm pretty sure are keepers! ESPECIALLY the intro! I really love that riff...

Guitars were tracked one panned left, one right, and one straight down the center, all ran through a Waves C4 plugin with Andy Sneaps settings. I used my Schecter through the the V-amp2 on the Modern Hi Gain setting, using only the bridge pickup. Bass was straight down the center, run through the V-amp2 with the preamp modelling bypassed. It's, again, my bassists Ibanez SDGR 5 string (only used 3 of em), with an EMG 89/89 set.

Re: Original Metal Song - Nocturnal Storm

That sounds a LOT like an in flames riff I know ;)

The production sounded pretty good but I think you could have cut it quite a lot louder without much trouble. Other than that though all I can say is it's a couple of pretty solid riffs. I should ask- what cab did you use on the modern gain sim? I notice for some reason on a lot of the cabs it doesn't really jump out at you, and the volume you hear it at is a lot lower before it starts clipping.

Y'know, you and I should hook up on msn and give each other pointers since we have basically identical rigs.

My email on there is kingofcasper@hotmail.com Hit me up some time! I'll be on tonight.

What In Flames riff? I had a feeling it might be someone elses, it's so damn catchy :(.

I used cab number 15, always sounded best to me on it.

Oh man... I know how it feels to find out that one of your riffs already exists :yell:

Anyway, that was pretty cool. Nice riffs, theres a lot of potential.
Mabe some reverb on the drums though

Ooooh, I feel a breakdown towards the end of that clip!! That would be BAD-A$$!!

Sweet clip, by itself. Very solid and crushing. Definetely something I'd like to see live, liquifying my bones...I could also get a chance at stealing that RR of yours, too! Har Har!! *evil pirate face*

*********************

BTW - You know what really gave me a good laugh? Upon reading the quotes in your signature, I realized it would be HILARIOUS if you switched the two names and pretended like the quotes were their own. HAR HAR! HAR!
 
Re: Original Metal Song - Nocturnal Storm

LMAO Zerb saying that...XD!

Breakdown? I dunno if we're thinking of the same breakdown, but I will NEVER put a hardcore chugga chugga breakdown in my songs, ever! :laugh2:
