Walkin In The Dark - SpyderX

Well, I'm a BIG Cooper fan (roadied for him for a couple of years), and a Zappa fan as well, so I guess I get some of their influence in my tracks now and then. Actually, though, I just like trying out new stuff. Glad that you liked this one, as I'm not all that satisfied with it. I think an update will be in order soon...

Peace,

Mike

Well, I don't think the TRACK is crappy, but the vocals leave a bit to be desired, IMHO. I've been upgrading my equipment and progs over the past few months though, so some re-mastering may be in order for some of my older tracks.

Zappa? Yeah, I can see that, considering I'm the world's biggest Zappa fan (LOL).

Slayer was alright for a while, but then I got Slayer2, which is infinitely better. For synthesized guitars, I now use exclusively Slayer2, RealStrat, DSK Electrik Guitarz (a freebie), Strat-A-Various (freebie), and SuperRiff (freebie) for electrics. I usually couple them with FL's Hardcore amp\effect VST or Shred amp\cab\effect VST (another freebie). Though I have about 30 amp\cab simulators, I think Hardcore and Shred are the two best.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to listen and review, John. I really do appreciate it, bro.

Peace,

Mike

You know, Wayne, I never really made the Cooper connection with this song till you mentioned it. You just might be right ~ I used to be a roadie for Cooper back in the 70's, and he's still one of my favorite artists. I think I need to redo some of the vox though. I just got a better mic and some new mastering progs, so some of my older stuff is probably going to get a "going over" sooner or later.

Thanks for the listen and review, bro. I really do appreciate it when talented guys like yourself take the time to check out my work.

Peace,

Mike

I don't have a vocal mic. I have a cheap dictation headset. It sux, but there's not much I can do about it at the moment. I also record on an ancient VAIO laptop which doesn't have a full duplex soundcard, so I can't record vocals while listening to the music. Some people just aren't fortunate enough to have all the fancy equipment that others have.

Thanks for the listen and review.

Peace,

Thank you, Brian. It always gives me a bit of a lift when a fellow metalhead has something positive to say about one of my non-metal tracks. Keep rockin', my brother!

Peace,

Spyder

This was the first song that I actually wrote a bridge for, so I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't too sure about it myself.

Thanks for the listen and review, bro. I really appreciate it.

Thanks, bro. This one actually started out as a bit of a joke, but then I got sorta serious with it.

Appreciate the listen and review.

Spyder

Thanx, Michael. I'm thinkin' of maybe re-recording the vox in a lower key and cleaning up the chorus vox a bit. Glad you like 'em like they are though.

Appreciate the listen and review, bro.

Peace,

Spyder
