Hell yeah, thank you for the info! I'm going to dig into that video and the advice you gave. Out of curiosity, how would you adjust the snare? I've always had a hard time getting a good snare sound, and this is the most mix-cutting one I've been able to get so far. It's basically the GGD...

Thank you! I take influence from a whole bunch of genres so it can get pretty...unique. I posted to Bandcamp so the quality didn't get squashed. I used to use Soundcloud, but that's such a dumpster fire for actual listening by comparison. I have been doing some slight adjustments on the...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on getting my music past that last 5% of mastering where it goes from good to stellar. My production influences are Buster Odeholm and Kurt Ballou, so I want a big chonccy sound while retaining what instruments actually sound like. I'm pretty confident...

Everything is of course stylistic, but the drums do just sound like "demo" drums. Like room-recorded ones, straight into the mics, and if that's the intent, sure, but mixed with the orchestral elements, which are high quality, there's a sort of duality that doesn't quite mesh. I recommend toning...

I dig the single, but I've also been enjoying more streamlined songs lately. It's just a pretty song that isn't trying to blow your mind, just take you on a quick journey. The new album is probably going to be very interesting if nothing else

Hey everyone, it's been a hell of a long time since I've been on for a number of reasons. I finally have my recording setup back in order and remixed an older one, as well as did a demo for a new one. My production style is heavily influenced by Kurt Ballou, Devin Townsend, and the general...

I get what you're saying, but couldn't you also argue that since the artist has already expressed themselves, a certain standard of quality is by default established? Fans in general will have a certain level of expectation - for example if blah blah shred guitarist released a total masterpiece...

Hey everyone, so I've been playing guitar for over 11 years now and have been self producing my own music for a few years. I'm looking to finally stretch my legs and do something with other people. I'm located in central MA but can travel for gigs. I mainly play rock and metal, but I can learn...

Anyone else feel like Polaris lacks a lot of substance. Altered State had such flow and continuity. Polaris just feels like repetitive grooving on quite a few songs and some seriously undeveloped progressions. Hexes and Seven Names really stand out in that regard...completely underutilized...

Is it just me or are the rewriting the same song over and over with the slightest variation to make it seem different? Ironically, Throw Me In the Jungle stands out the most in spite of it's totally uninteresting guitar work. I feel like I'm hearing the same thing on repeat...the whole thing...

I've always respected them as fantastic musicians and songwriters, but their music always had this "meh" factor that made me lose interest very fast. Which sucks cause Paul is a badass guitar player... I can't say I'm shocked though. They take a giant break, come back with a decent album that...

Bump

Bump!

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: 9/10 Regius 7 with Juggernaut bridge and Aftermath neck; 8.5/10 RG1527 with a refinished blue body; 8.5/10 S771PB with a Holydiver bridge. Modifications (if any): RG1527 is a (very well done) refinish Accessories (hardshell case etc): HSC for Regius...

The Safety Fire with tolerable vocals? Yes please. And it's Elliot, FOOOK YEAH!

He's got a point sadly... I'm gunna try to find time to write a solo for this. I can hear some ....in thick, ultra-driven wah pedal stuff at the opening of the solo section

Established band changes their sound, people cry. Clearly most people whining don't write music because you can only rehash the same idea so many times before it's pointless and boring. They changed their sound. Good. It's called staying fresh and inspired.

https://soundcloud.com/the-left-turns/golden-wings2 Hey guys, I've been busting my ears over the past few years to get a sound that I find worthy of making an album with. The album that this song would be on is proggy, groovy, metal/metalcore/djenty/elements of death metal. Basically I'm going...

I installed my Blackhawks (ceramic) finally! Once I have time I'm going to do some recording with this guitar. For now, here's a crappy phone video, but there's definitely a huge difference between these and the Duncans.

As far as I can tell, Mayones was kinda shady about it since the guitar was actually on display at NAMM. They didn't tell myself or any of the involved parties so we all were in the dark for awhile. So as far as I know, it was done roughly 8-9 months after I placed the order, then took another...
