    Ladytron "Seventeen" Metal Version

    Just another song I decided to record on a Sunday to see what it would sound like really heavy and I loved the way it turned out. The original was great and I always imaged what it would sound like with crushing guitars and drum hits. You be the judge! This is my second song using my new...

    Newest Heaviness - Axe FX 2 + Protone + B3K + BKPs = Joy

    Although I swore I'd never drop down any lower than Tosin Tuning, I couldn't resist the urge to give G a try and shit... It just adds that extra little effect i've been trying to reproduce in Ab this entire time. Plus as it turns out, the super-low of my bass cleans up in G really well! (The B3K...

    Axe FX 2 + FAS BrOOtalz + Meshuggah

    Thanks a ton guy! :) Yeah I used Metal Foundry for 3 years but even with it's tons of different sounds, i just never got what i was looking for which more or less was/is Metal Machine.

    Ezdrummer 2 or metal machine?

    EZDrummer is good, but Superior is where you go when you're ready to move up to total clarity. It's biggest weakness and strength are the same in that it's simply more complex/complicated to use than EZDrummer but once you lock in a tone you can't beat the overall added polish that Superior...

    Hows this mix sound so far?

    Sounds good man! I hate to be with the consensus but the rhythm guitars must come up. I know the compulsion is to reduce the volume so you can fit more bass in, in relation it's overall volume, but you shouldn't be using the rhythm guitars to produce bass to begin with. Let the bass guitar do...

    Axe FX 2 + FAS BrOOtalz + Meshuggah

    https://soundcloud.com/ashes4136/meshuggah Still looking for the right person or persons to collaborate with, I went ahead and put this together to keep my practice up. Really like how it's turning out. Since it's Meshuggah I had to do a few things I don't normally do such as saturate with...

    Ultimate Ampsim Comparison v1 (Lecto, Legion, LE 456, TSE X50)

    Sup all. I've noticed a pattern in my recordings. I find that virtually every single mix I'm going through my available ampsims over and over looking for that tone. You know, "that tone". The elusive one, so to speak. I've decided to go ahead and mixdown the same riff four times, each with a...

    String Bending: If you're talking about the low Ab "bending" up one half cent on the 3/, 6/, and then the 1/ yeah that's completely intentional. I mean, I'm not sure how attunement comes into play considering it's simply meant to be a flare kind of thing just meant to sound aggressive. Does it...

    Bought a new midi keyboard... so made a song.

    Very very catchy dude. Would you mind enabling a download of the same thing without the drums? I'd like to put some weight to it and send it back to see what you think?

    Mastering Programs?

    I've spent a lot of time (years) honing skills at mastering metal, especially detuned and as I'm sure everyone will tell you there is no "mastering button" via any one program that will do it all. That said, seeing as you need a combination of several mastering tools to really make it work, I...

    Community Input on My Song?

    Dissonance: Think so? Yeah it's intenional, I guess the thought was kinda like half of the guitar slumped down the scale but I can see where it might sound like run of the mill crap lol The transition: You're confirming what I already kinda thought. I just can't think of a way of tying the...
