If you have time take a listen and give SpyderX some feedback.
I'm in the process of re-mixing some of my earlier stuff (while still working on new stuff as well, of course). I'm hoping to get a website going soon, and I want to be able to offer several CD's for DL, so I have a lot of work to do.
If i could play metal I would ask to jump in here with you but I don't have that edge,and I like it but you know it's gotta be real and i've been in Eddie Van Halen's pocket too long:)Great song Spyder.
Well, you don't have to jump in on this one, but if you're really interested I DO have several unfinished songs more in the rock/pop/hiphop vein which could use some awesome guitar licks. Just a thought....
I agree with Mr. E, the mix could be a little more even, the keyboard work is really good, and the drums are fairly real sounding, which is not easy to do when synthesizing metal. I think you should seek out a guitarist to actually play on this track, and maybe add a couple of leads, and you have a solid intro track to an album, so long as you spend a painful amount of hours automating EVERYTHING and making a great mix. A really solid start, in my opinion, and a good way to compose a metal piece all by yourself.
Yeah, I know the mix ain't all that good. "Something..." was one of the first songs I wrote, and I just didn't really have the experience nor the equipment to master the track well. I've since gotten some very nice vocal processors, sonic enhancers, and high-end multi-band EQ's (and gained a bit of experience as well), so my production quality is gaining (I hope). I'll probably remix this track sometime in the near future, but I'm presently concentrating on finishing a dozen or so new tracks.
I wish I knew a decent guitarist to add some licks to some of my stuff, but I don't. I do have a couple of new guitar emulators though, so I'm hoping that with a little practice I get the guitar sound I'm really after.
When I re-master, I'll probably replace the FPC drums with Real Acoustic Drums Sf2, which are real acoustic drum samples.
Thanx for listening and reviewing, bro. I really do appreciate it.
Thank you, Korrupt - I appreciate the listen and review.
I think that musically my ideas are working out to my satisfaction, but I'm havin' a devil of a time gettin' the mix down tight (especially vox). Oh, well, it'll all come in time, I guess.
i played around with this pella as well. i like the dark place you took it.
i also know how hard it is to get the mix balanced with this particular pella, which is quite soft a bit washed out.
nice work!
Thank you, Oasis. When I imported this particular pella into Audacity, I found the signal level to be at around -18db, so I normalized it to 0.0db, ran it through a noise filter, and EQ'd it a bit before exporting the WAV into FL. I still have a devil of a time mixing down vocals though....
yep, MrE is right ... mix could be a little more balanced ...
but the song itself is well composed and arranged, and the concept is great!!!
mixing is mostly a matter of experience, but it's the key for a good sound ... I spend about 85% of the production time with mixing, sometimes more ... ;-)
over all this is a good track!!! great!
Dude, thank you a million times for listening to, and reviewing, my tune.
I know exactly what you mean about mixing down.
I seem to spend countless hours fiddling with all the knobs and sliders, but it still doesn't come out like I want it to (especially when vocals are involved). I know that part of the problem is that these cheesy desktop speakers don't reproduce any bass at all, but it's mostly (as you said) a matter of lack of experience. Hopefully, I'll get better at it as time goes on. I just need to learn the right techniques...
Thanks again for taking the time to give me a listen and post a review, rei. I really do consider you to be one of the best guitarists I've ever heard, bro, so it means a lot to me when someone such as yourself expresses a little interest.
Description : I asked Danke if I could add some vocals to his track Future Machine and he kindly agreed and sent me the track. The lyrics are about a soldiers experience in war as he and his trench mates are told to get up and out of their trench and attack the enemy across open fields. I can only imagine the fear, tension and chaos that goes through one's mind at that moment.
Description : I discovered Meshuggah around 2003 and was blown away by the power, complexity and super Heavy sound of their music. Their "Nothing" album marked the switch to 8 string guitars and pushed Heavy Metal into a whole new territory. My track is a variant cover of their song "Nebulous". I have stayed pretty close to the original but added a few dynamic elements of my own. Its loud, its super heavy and way out there...Beyond Nebulous.
Description : This unconventional metal track is dedicated to Valvedriver https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/841435 though it's not a parody of his fine music or me actively trying to sound like it. I struggled for months with the first few minutes of this track knowing that I must be able to take it somewhere deeper, more psychedelic and powerful. Then I loaded some sampled choir voice instruments, as used in my track Reckful https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160356 and suddenly found myself happily in Valveland - not a place I visit often. Feeling amply Valvedriven and newly inspired, I added the last few minutes fairly easily and very quickly. So: it's a twisting, turning mixture of grunge, menacing ambient, mystical metal and ultra-heavy funk. Instruments: electric guitar+bass, synth basses, female choir voices, one synth pad, some other synths on the nastier side of things and a few programmed heavy acoustic drumkits playing a mixture of triplets and straighter grooves. Interesting thoughts appreciated. Favourite bits? Shit bits? Please listen on good headphones/speakers as there's a lot of heavy bass in this. Now get ready to rock: balls out, hands in the air and with rebellious joy in your heart. Just try not to headbang the hell out of your laptop. Go!
Description : Whats up guys?! Been a while I know. Iv'e moved around a lot but have finally settled down and have been hard at work with my metal band. Unfortunately I've had to put my solo work on hold for a bit while I'm recording with the band. We are being professionally recorded now, a very big step up from the last recording of my band that I posted here. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! We are, Raze The Pyre.
