    Modern Take on Neoclassical Shred (Original Song)

    I wanted to share a song that I recently re-made from about 5 years ago. Our good friend here, BMC WarMachine, did the ending solo and mixing of the recent version--dude rocks! Thanks for checking and would love some feedback on the writing :D Original from 2018: Re-make:

    Horror-groove Instrumental

    Not even sure if that's a real thing, but this seems to fit the sound I was aiming for. Would love some feedback on the writing and style of the song if you have a couple of moments. Song 1) original tune, Song 2) straight riffs, no leads, Song 3) leads all throughout Gear used...

    "Tone is in your fingers" What does that mean, exactly???

    Something that I've always heard, and the thought was re-sparked from a comment I saw in a Steve Vai thread. But, what does this mean exactly? I can guess; the way you fret the notes, your vibrato, etc. I've seen a video where Joe Satriani took a cheap Ibanez and sounded like pure bliss on it...

    Melodic Rock/Metal Composition: Feedback requested!

    For those who have the time, I am currently working on an 80's inspired shred album. Below is a playlist containing two songs, one being the original recording, and the 2nd song being the new, re-recorded version. There is a 3 year gap between the two, so I believe some substantial improvements...

    Does this take you back to the 80s? (Melodic/Thrash Shred Instrumental))

    Hey there! I threw this track together with the intent of having one of our very own and a good friend of mine, @WarMachine , featured on it and that version is coming soon, but this is my version. I would love some feedback on the mix. Thanks in advance!

    New Charvel Rick Graham Sig

    I was surprised to see that he got a signature guitar from Charvel because I swore he played Ibanez or something (I could be wrong)--and without a signature on the headstock, which is pretty nice if you wanted to be discreet as a buyer, but...for that price, I would much rather buy another Nick...

    NGD: RRR Custom (MX-250 Type)

    I think I found some posts about RRR guitars on here whilst doing research, so I hope there won't be any angst regarding the style/shape haha. But, after trying to find or considering purchasing an Explorer/MX kind of guitar, I was wrestling with settling for an Edwards EX model or dropping cash...

    On a constant grind with mixing: Mega Man X content

    I was asked to do a cover of Mega Man X - Flame Mammoth and this is what I came up with. I noticed some static whenever leads were added into the mix. It seemed to have clashed with the bass for some reason--could be a thing with my headphones. I did some pulling of high-end frequencies on a...

    NGD: ESP Jerk - Straight up 80's Metal heaven!

    Pics first! I saw this on Reverb last week and prior to that, never knew such a model existed. They were apparently part of the ESP Original Series between 2006 - 2007. This one was modified by ESP here in Japan at some point to be fitted with a pickguard and a neck pickup. It's a...

    MHW: Iceborne - Seliana Cover: Harsh high-range freq I can't spot

    I have been working hours trying to narrow down this staticky frequency that only manifests when everything is playing together. I isolated the rhythm guitars and heard it and thought I cut the harsh freq out, but it starts showing it's head again when I start adding all the tracks together. I...

    Japan's Hard-Off BGM turned 80s Anthem

    For those who have been to Japan or know of the song, I find it very catchy! I've been fiddling with doing a cover of it and wanted an 80's rock/hard rock flair to it! Would love some feedback! Original Song(if interested in the inspiration): listen until 2:35 for the entire loop My version...

    Any Final Fantasy XV Fans? Rate my mix!

    Recently finished Final Fantasy XV again, but on the Royal Edition, which features some badass sound tracks! This song (Easy Rider) in particular was really fun to recreate. I programmed the drums as best as I could using GetGood Drums OKW: Modern Fusion kit and Modern and Massive. Guitars are a...

    NGD: 1998 Ibanez RG7620 Steal!

    Pics first: I was perusing through the Hard-Off app here in Japan and this white RG7 popped up for roughly $260. It had the highly-revered Lo Pro Edge bridge, but it wasn't labeled as an RG7620 on the site, so I drove 1.5 hours to check it out for myself. I had a Schecter ATX C-8 lying...

    Dual NGD: ESP Edwards E-SV-I NT & Caparison Angelus 24 Trans Dark Cherry

    Edwards: Found this rare "unknown" gem at a used store (Hard-Off) here in Japan. I was debating between this and an Edwards Syu Crying Star Rebel (Which I might snatch up later on). I remember first seeing this guitar when Alexi Laiho was using the ESP version in a cover video many years ago. It...

    Can you all hear improvement in my mix?

    Hey guys! I'm definitely one of the worst recording guitar players here, but I'm always working to improve my workflow. I recently transitioned from EZ Drummer to GGD/Smash&Grab and I am having a blast with it. I noticed that my stuff sounds way better using compression and some other stuff. I...

    New Song / mixing work: Street Fighter EX Cover

    Hey guys, I recently changed a couple things for my recording set up, mainly switching from EZ Drummer to GGD and utilizing GGD tools like Smash/Grab compression. I used to be very reliant on FL Studio's plug-in SoundGoodizer, but it always made my stuff sound really bad and very noisy on the...

    Critique my mix! MHW:Iceborne-inspired song

    Hey everyone! If any of you have a few minutes to check out my latest track, I would love some feedback/suggestions on the mix. Issues that I can point out is that there is a lot of high-end shrill that I can't seem to EQ out without degrading the cymbals. I should preface this that my hearing...

    3-Way Toggle Switch to 5-Way Blade Switch

    I might not have used the right combination of words during my search, but nothing popped up forit. I have a guitar with a 3-way toggle switch, but I'm replacing the pups for some Fishman Reyes sigs, and I want the full range of tones via 5-way toggle switch. I know it'll take some modding as...

    Did a cover of Sonic the Hedgehog 1: Final Boss - Critiques!

    Hi everyone, I'm on the quest with you all to get better at mixing and composition. I did a cover of this song many years ago, and it was garbage. This one may very well be garbage too haha. I feel that my mixing has come a long way, but it's always a game of shooting in the dark. Please take a...
