Listen To Something Wicked This Way Comes Heavy Metal Song By SpyderX At Looperman.com

Thank you, John.

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.

Peace,

Mike

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....

As always, thanks for the listen and review, bro.

Peace,

Spyder

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.

Peace,

Spyder

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.

Again, thanks for the listen, bro.

Peace,

Spyder

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....

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.

Peace, bro.

Mike

Thank you, Don. I think you've got mucho talent yourself, bro. Your rhymes are great.
