You would likely know I`m not a good source of knowledgeable commentary on the genre Met...Guess the kind of limiting you hit this one with is part of the genre ...I`m listening with a pair of old Sony (MDR-V600) cans that don`t reproduce the low end well but they are great on the highs...and this one has a lot of higher & high-mid frequency content...I would be inclined to do a bit of selective cutting in that area (maybe around 1.2 khz and above 5) & lay some big fat bass in there pushing some 80 hz & lower stuff...you got lot of power going on so you`re well on your way....keep on....Ed
Yeah, metal is in a weird place nowadays. NIN and Static X seemed to start the blend of electronic and metal, but then rap metal took over and led us to whatever it is we have now. Some of it's okay, but mostly very overproduced. I listen to mostly doom/sludge when it comes to metal lately, but I'd like to hear some Meshuggah with dnb pushing it. Here's a link to a metal tune I did. Very Slayer-ish. I really don't have any plans for it, the mix is a bit trashy, but if you like it and want to do something with it, I'd clean it up and drop the drums or whatever and send it to you. It's the only metal on this page (been trying new stuff) but an older page of mine is mostly metal.
Everything I hear just feels like trite, dude with tattoos and long hair plays guitar with bearded band mates, rinse & repeat.. Bringing nothing new to the genre, I'm hoping to be proven wrong, I don't hold out much hope... I do favour doom & Sludge as well.. Eyehategod in particular at the moment... Listening to yours now.. Very Slayer, I would love to get the stems for it but I probably wouldn't get to work on anything for quite some time, I have a huge back log of projects & ideas to finish.. But who knows they might inspire something awesome.. Sent you a follow too :)
I love the idea of taking the heavy metal mentality and applying it to electronic music.. I feel it's the future for metal, which is highly stagnant these days.
Wow this is energetic!
Lot of energy coming dow the line here!
Very well put together.
Theres so much going on but you managed to get it all in place. I'll be coming back to this lunacy for sure!
You did a great job on this! A little simple, but I absolutely love it. You really need to make a longer, full version of this. I want to hear it.
That being said, you do come across as a little high-and-mighty on the first comment there. Saying you should delete a comment because it wasn't worthy of your music isn't exactly the most humble approach to go with.
Also, yeah, I agree with you on the volume. It wasn't too loud for me at all.
Good job here, can't wait to see more of your stuff!
Thank you for listening dude.. I have big ideas for this one.. I just need some more equipment for it (new headphones & DI box)
If you'll click the "plays" tab... Have a look for the first commenters name.. It's not there.. Combining that with the lacklustre comment, I assumed he commented without listening, to get his track back onto the top of the featured tracks page... A behaviour observed before.. Not very humble...
Hey I really like that guitar riff and filter you got going on, that drums are pretty thin, but, having no way to monitor, i guess that's to be expected. I'd like actually to play with the stems to this if you wouldn't mind. Also, depending where you are, if the shipping isnt too nuts, i have a pair of Shure 440 monitor headphones i could give/send you as i don't use them anymore. PM me if you interested.
Great dubstep. No excessive wobbling but just straight on and raw beats. Nice vocal shots as well. Love the panning synths in it. They make it very vivid. Maybe mixed a bit too loud but that is easy fixable..
Very cool man! The skills to learn to play this kind of music are invaluable. Playing rockabilly/rock/latin... licks are so within your grasp now, kudos! And learning the fret board a little better in the process is a nice afterthought.
I use Am so much, my favorite key for Latin and Western songs, it just has "that" feeling. The big reverb separates the guitars and sets a cool vibe. It is raw sounding, gives the listener some dust in their teeth, which is what you want to do, lol.
It's such a joy learning this style, difficult but enjoyable. I'm working on Cavatina lately but I may need a new guitar for it (if there was ever an excuse to buy a new guitar XD)
I haven't listened to any of your music in a long while, I'll be sure to swing by your page once my slave labour releases me :)
Interesting style of industrial here, which gives me some feeling of late nineties hard rock. I like the drums you've put together on this one! I'll keep my patronizing comments to myself this time, as I realize that I've "beaten a dead horse" more than once when commenting on your tracks. I apologize for that. I will say, for humor alone, that it is no wonder that your headphones are dying! The tempo and the flow of this are quite cool, and I'd like to hear you deepen into this sort of style. Fun to hear!
Thank you Spiv, I hope you can excuse my late response, I have very little free time for the foreseeable future. Heh heh it's all worth it. I'm hoping to focus more on drum orientated music whilst keeping the power intact. This still isn't finished, I have a great idea of how it will be completed, but headphones (and time!) are a must. Thanks again for listening my friend :)
Listening to stuff like this, if doesn't give you whiplash first, will give you a neck the size of George Corpse grinder :p http://www.metalinjection.net/latest-news/cannibal-corpses-corpsegrinder-talks-about-his-massive-neck (in case you don't know who he is) I loved him with Monstrosity! Not so into the newer Cannibal Corpse stuff these days, the older stuff is fkn classic though! \m/ Now where's my neck brace, I know it put it over here somewhere....
My neck has gotten increasingly large since making this kinda music XD I hope you're well Phatz, I must disappear once more.. I'm sure I'll be back with some more heavy tunes soon enough.
I apologize if I came off as patronizing, as that was not my intention. It was only to alert you to a problem that would become especially apparent if you were to burn this onto a compact disc and play on a normal hi fi system. I suppose after commenting on nearly 6000 songs over the years, my ears are getting pretty tuned to picking up things in these streamed mp3 versions. It becomes difficult not to mention something. I have always been pretty brutally honest both online and off. Granted, it gets me in trouble, even with people who I appreciate, but it is part of who I am. I wish more people were honest, like you were in your reply. So many people on looperman and other music sites are only out for gaining compliments on their music, and I understand that as well. It still does not change how I react to things I hear. Don't worry about it, as I don't hear things the same way as everyone else. I'm also not a metal head any more, so there's that. If you think you may be going deaf, and the songs you have been making are as loud as this, then it may be a correlation to look into. Please don't take any offense at what I've written, because I do respect you as an artist. Respect and honesty go hand in hand for me.
No worries my friend, I understand, you are correct in your analysis, I should have probably elaborated as to why my latest offerings are not as polished as I'd like, simply: lack of time, headphones and overabundance of resources.
I guess I was trying to hack my ego, i.e put a tune out, get a response, release that particular endorphin in the hope of being more inclined to make more music. A bad idea in retrospect. Lessons learned. I'll be back with some more pleasing works in the coming weeks. Again, thank you for your ears :)
Very interesting song here. It was however shockingly loud when it began, and forced me to turn the speaker system down almost completely. I realize that you did not have any good way to monitor, so I can forgive that aspect. It should be simple enough to check for clipping without even listening though. Metal should be able to be turned up loud, but this forces me to turn it down.
Perhaps I'm going deaf.. I say that only half in jest.. I agree it's loud but nowhere near to the extend you describe, at least not on my end..
I've always relied upon my ears to discern a mix so I'm at a huge disadvantage right now, all of my tracks clip.. I do this deliberately, although I cannot control it in the usual way thanks to my lack of decent headphones.
I've noticed you've become very patronising over the years Spiv, check yourself my friend.
I would have hoped the quality of my previous works would have allowed you more understanding.. Nevertheless, thank you for listening.
How do I delete this liars comment? You didn't listen to this.. The sounds I've used? Guitar and drums... There's so much to love there.. Get out of here and don't "listen" to my music again..
