This is really high-quality music. I especially love the low hard guitar chords, and the shrieky thing in the bridge (or what I took to be the bridge). I'm looking forward to hearing the vocals. As you work on other pieces, since you're a keyboardist, you might think about bringing back some of the '70s organ - I've been listening to a lot of early '70s stuff and there's funky organ everywhere. I miss it, and now, should you choose to accept this mission, you've been anointed to bring it back.

WOW!!!! Sounds like a real band in a real studio and everything!!! Us midi keyboard warriors aren't worthy. It's definitely dramatic. Perhaps a female singer with a booming voice singing about how much she wants to murder her lover would put this into the galaxy of post rock greatness. So I'm saying fantastic job all the way round.

Thanks for giving it a listen and for the feedback. Much appreciated.

I thought the vocals were fine because they were unique, I find heavier tracks to always be more difficult to mix and master all around the board, they always sound fine to me though I grew up listening to some pretty heavy stuff that sounded like someone recorded it live with a talkboy lol I will just pretend i am going for that bootleg sound.

HamsterLewis replied 21st Mar 2019 - 6 years ago

Heavier tracks are tougher because you need the Drums to stand out and it is easy to wash them out with all the heavy guitars. Plus generally, you need those drums to be way busier than other genres. It is a tough balancing act from a mixing standpoint. I still suck at the drums part big time in most tracks. I am too lazy to have them spread out over 16 or more tracks where you can tweak individual drums on the kit. I always just use a stereo approach. It is way easier but lacking in punch.

I am a huge metal fan, I like your track, it sounded great, all the volumes and everything seemed good to me, as someone else said it was different but in a good enjoyable way. I try to do metal songs occasionally, I have one really crazy metal song rough copy done, I would like to know what other fellow metalheads think of it when I post it, I could let you know when it goes up if you would be interested.

Thanks for the feedback. I would definitely give it a listen. The hardest thing for me with Metal Tracks is getting the right vocal sound. I can't really do the low growly type vocals as it is not in my range. I use a plug in to lower the vocals to a lower octave. I was trying for a Wayne Static type vocal but just couldn't get it. I settled with this.

Okay! I know you said rough sketch, It's a solid idea for a song. Of course the drums need to be way louder. Guitars too, depending on what you're trying to do with it. It was really wierd, but in a cool way. Raw as heck, and ready for some molding. Good job!

HamsterLewis replied 2nd Mar 2019 - 6 years ago

Thanks for the feedback. I bumped the drums and guitars up in the mix. Also added a Bassline. Next, I need to flesh out the vocals better.
