Thanks for giving it a listen and for the support....it's greatly appreciated. This was a fun song to do guitar and bass wise for sure.

tv

Thanks a lot Domenico, I appreciate the support. I wish I could sing better, just not there yet. Probably won't ever be able to sing well enough. Maybe someone will get an idea and drop some vocals.

Thanks again.

tv

Thanks man, I feel you on the leave it as an instrumental thing. As I was mixing it and brightening the sounds a bit I felt like it might be tough for vocals to compete with all that is going on. Everything I do starts as if it will someday have vocals. I have yet to sit down and do a pure instrumental, but this makes me a bit more interested in going in and working on it as an instrumental. Thanks for that thought. After a couple listens I don't know why I didn't think this was Heavy enough...lol. I am going to move it to the Heavy Metal Genre. Thanks for the input and for taking the time to give it a listen.

tv

Lol danke...yeah I can hear some KYUSS influence. I think the Staic-X thing I am getting is more due to the drum track. I thanks you for taking the time to listen and leave a comment. I also appreciate all the support.

tv

Thanks bro, I was starting to think I just totally missed the mark on this one. I think it is probably the best track I have ever done to this point. Seemed like I was the only one though, lol. Thanks for giving it a listen and for the support. Yeah the drums in all my tracks leave a lot to be desired. I have limited skills in the drum department. Trying to get better at working with Jam Stix 3 but couldn't get anything close to this sound drum wise and really wanted that Static-X feel. Maybe someone will get inspired to do some vocals, I am not sure if I can do anything short of a bad impression of Wayne Static. :)

Thanks again for the support, I appreciate it. Nice to know at least one other person out there thinks this track is any good. :) Maybe I need to move it to the Heavy Metal Genre?

Thanks man, Appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment.

Thanks for the very kind words bro...it's nice to know something you are so passionate about resonates with others. I love a good Hip Hop flavor in my Rock from time to time. I just look for inspiring drum beats to work with. Sometimes they are leaning this way. :)
Thanks for taking the time to give it a listen, it is appreciated.

Thanks bro, I think I owe the BOC influence to my wife, she loves them. I am a big ZZ Top fan and think Billy Gibbons is a master of guitar tone. Appreciate you giving it a listen and taking the time to comment.

tv

Haha...nothing wrong with a little Molly...:)

I appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen.

Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed this. As for Reaper, I love it. If you are interested I can send you the tutorial videos I have for it. They helped me out big time. If you are interested hit me up at . I can zip up all the videos and email them to you. Best part about Reaper is it's not a disabled version. You can use it till you get comfortable with it before even buying a license. I look forward to hearing your Death Metal track. I will keep an eye out for it.

tv

Thanks man, I appreciate the support and the call for more aggressive solos. This track was done over a year ago and I have since gotten a bit more aggressive. Still room to turn it up more though. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment.

tv

You have Domenico, and I appreciate the kind words and the support. You are right abpout the need to go in and clean up some spots. I will be on vacay next week and will have the time to go in and do some retakes in certain areas to clean up things. Also want to get better tone on the lead guitar. It needs to shimmer a little.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave a comment. It's appreciated.

tv

Thanks bro. Always nice to get positive feedback. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

tv

Very kind words bro, it's appreciated. Gilmour is one of my idols and an inspiration to me. Glad I could do a good enough job with the leads to draw even the slightest comparison. Thanks for taking the time to give this a listen and leave a review.

tv

Lol, yeah about half the time I name my songs whatever is on my mind. The other half they have something to do with the song itself. This one definitely not. Been in the mood to do a ballad for a while now. Always nice to slow it down and go with a less is more approach to the leads. More opportunity to stress tone and feeling over number of notes. Thanks for the kind words of support. It really is appreciated.

tv

Lol...that is freakin funny. You always have some awesome sounds bro. Love the ratchet sounds, the chickens give me the creeps. Poor chickens. :)

tv

Be my guest bro, I would love to hear it.

Thanks

tv

Thanks bro, I must confess that those are other ways of saying dirt bags of the female kind, around where I am from. :)

I just felt like doing a ballad. Most of the stuff I do is quicker paced. I appreciate the support my friend.
Thanks again.

tv

Very kind of you Optimistic. I appreciate the support and you taking the time to listen and leave a review. It still needs some work and it is missing something, besides vocals. :)

Thanks again.

tv

Thank you brother, always nice to get some good feedback and a pat on the back for the guitar work. I try to put some Organ in any song that I can get away with. I think it can add really good depth and color to a track. This is one of the few songs I can put in the finished folder. It just needs vocals. Thanks again for the support.

tv

Thanks bro, it's always nice to get some good feedback on solos. Back when I played in bands I never felt confident enough in my soloing to contribute with them on stage. Since I took up Home Recording I feel my skills in that department have grown a bit. Still have loads to learn but I can fake it pretty well...:-) Thanks for giving it a listen.

tv

Thanks bro, glad you liked it and I appreciate the feedback on the song in general and especially on the mix. I think I have come a long way in the Mixing/Mastering department. Was brand new to the whole recording and mixing thing. Was pretty lousy at it for a while. Seems like I can get a decent mix now. As for vocals, that is all that is missing. I pretty much consider this one done. I will attempt to figure out some vocal melodies for this and maybe write some lyrics but I am no singer. Maybe I will get lucky and someone who can sing will jump in on this. Everything I have done is open for collaboration.
Thanks again.

tv

I will indeed keep the faith my friend. Thanks. I think this is one of the few I have done that doesn't have that "live" sound to it. Sounds more studio done, and I really worked hard to get it. I don't dislike my live sound and others seem to dig it, but there is something sweet about getting that studio sound. I don't have to tell you, your stuff always sounds fantastic. Studio quality. So it means even more when you chime in with some praise. The support is greatly appreciated.

tv

Thanks man, that's a hell of a nice compliment. I don't know shit about theory or even scales, I am self taught and hearing that feels good. I could benefit from taking some lessons though. Maybe someday. As for sound, I am a bit obsessive with the sound and tone of instruments and overall mix. I sometimes spend more time working on getting a sound for a guitar or bass part than anything else.
Thanks again.

tv

Thanks bro, I appreciate those really kind words. I think this is my best track of all I have done so far. Except for vocals it is done. I spent lots of time working on the EQ for each instrument in the mix so that they would blend together well and not step on each other. Your kind words make me feel good about putting in the extra work on it.

Thanks again for listening and for the support.
