    How do -you- write music?

    Before I write anything related to the topic title, I should quickly say that writing music is a multifaceted process and I think we should all realize there are many ways of arriving at the same goal. What I'm looking for -- and what many other people are probably looking for though -- is...

    I did a take on the solo from Periphery's "The Price is Wrong".

    What can I say? I liked this backing track that Mark Holcomb/GearGods posted and I absolutely had to write something cool to play over it. I'm Canadian, unfortunately, so I couldn't even participate in the competition that they were running even if I wanted to. But hell, who cares. Had fun with...

    One of my band's first big recordings. Prog Metal. Thoughts on mix/production?

    A fun metal medley of songs from a great video game!

    Hi, everyone! This is officially my first post to the forum. I've been a lurker for a long time, pilfering the tens of hundreds of NGD threads in the gear forum. I'm content to keep fantasizing about gear I wish I had, but once in a while, you gotta remember that a big part of making music is...
