Thank you, Michael. Just a bit of late-night foolin' around, but I think it's pretty cool.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen and review, bro.

Peace,

Mike

nice n groovy, yet dark, i diggit. that sounds like a disk saw guitar sound, nice.

nice at the break how the synth holds us, then that bounce vocal sound comes in, do I hear wolves or cats trying to be wolves ?

wow, excellent use of fx and your progressions are tres cool.

Cool track mate, ty 4 the dl !

SpyderX replied Unknown

Hey, Neal, thanks for the listen and review, bro.

Went to a buddy's house the other day and we listened to Killing Joke's "Pandemonium" Cd, like, six times in a row ~ so when I came home I was in a dark Industrial kind of mood, I guess.

All the synth effects in the bridge were made with a little freebie VSTi called "Alieno".

Peace,

Mike

Oooooo I love the groove of this song, very nice. How low are you downtuned with that guitar track! very chunky but it doesn't take over the mix

SpyderX replied Unknown

The DVi (VSTi) Les Paul is "Drop D" tuning with standard "2 note" power chords being played. I had to automate the crap out of the volume on the guitar track to keep the guitar from dominating the rest of the instruments. I tried side-chaining the guitar first, but it didn't work so well.

Peace,

Mike

SpyderX replied Unknown

Thank you very much, SERGEJ. I'm glad you liked the track. I'm actually working on a couple of more tracks like this one, but they're a bit "heavier" (more in the genre of Hard Rock).

The guitar is really fantastic, and make sounds of another age. I really appreciate this piece, and your dexterity....

Dan

SpyderX replied Unknown

Considering that I don't actually play guitar (I use guitar emulation VSTi's in my DAW), it really kinda freaks me out when folks compliment my guitar "playing". I do strive very hard though to get a realistic, expressive guitar sound.

Thanks for the listen and review, Dan ~ I really do appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoyed the track.

Peace,

Mike

Accidentally found this.

Drums I ... feel weird about the compression?

Guitar is awesome.
Bass really struck me. I love your bass tone... I wonder how it would sound with a little bit of distortion??

This song is awesome. Kinda reminds me of a lazer in away.

What kinda monitors do you use? I would double check your mids just a little, but that's not a complaint, just letting you know how it sounded on my system.

Sick.
I love it. Great solo/outro!

Faved. Heavy. Fuckyea.

SpyderX replied Unknown

I have Kenwood KX999's on the front channels and Kenwood LSK-704's on the rear channels, and I'm pushin' 'em with a Pioneer VSX-3900S receiver at around 300 watts per channel. All four speakers, BTW, are floor speakers (VERY large).

And my computer has 7.1 Surround Sound with Altec Lansing speakers which are hung on the walls.

Glad you liked the track.

And thanks for the listen and review ~ I really do appreciate it. Keep on rockin'!

Peace,

Mike

Not a lot of people can step out of their comort zone and maintian quality. You have done so.

Nice Track

John

SpyderX replied Unknown

You actually hit the nail on the head, John. I try very hard to exercise what skills I possess by attempting to compose in various genres and styles.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't, but it's always an adventure!

Love the track, but I think the vocals should be brought up a bit more.

Is that you doing the vocals??????????

All The Best

John

SpyderX replied Unknown

You know, John, I'm kinda glad you reviewed this one and brought my attention back to it. I was meaning to re-record the vocals with some Autotune and Harmonizing FX, but I got busy with other projects and forgot all about it.

Thanx, bro!

Peace,

Mike

P.S. Yeah, it's me on vox - an old biker doin' rap. Can ya believe it!? LOL

on Whack My Doodle by SpyderX

This is more experimental rock I thin..... in any case, its quite good, some parts incrediby clever. A bit of remixing would make this howl.

All The Best

John

SpyderX replied Unknown

This one was just a bit of "playin' around". I didn't get into seriously tryin' to make something out of it, but I might do a little more work on it in the future.

I've been devoting most of my time lately to more Metal-oriented tracks, because that's my first love, but some of these old acoustic-flavored tracks might be worth takin' another look at, I guess. Who knows?

In any case, I'm glad you enjoyed it, John.
