April 7th (Corelia/Haunted Shores-esq, Strat, Legion, SD2, shitloads of triplets)

[C2Aye]

Now that I've gotten my urge to record core breakdowns out of me, I can return to service as usual. Except I started listening to too much Corelia, if that's even possible. And using far too many triplets.

April 7th (Clip) by Sithu Aye on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

I'll probably try to make this a full song in the future. And sorry to Plini for using your naming thing for clips you put up, I couldn't think of anything else to call it

 

[TheBotquax]

needs moar breakdowns

 

[C2Aye]

needs moar breakdowns

I added moar notes and triplets to the breakdown to make up for the lack of breakdowns

 

[makeitreign]

No such thing as too much Corelia.

Hey man, just out of curiosity, what are you using for recording/mixing?
I've been trying to do more than just record for my own use, and actually want to start putting things out to show other people. The reason I'm asking is because I want it to sound as professional as possible, but not overproduced; like yours.
If its important, I use podfarm and reaper, butt I don't know where to begin with anything else.

 

[prh]

yeah my legal team is coming for you bro, cos i INVENTED the calendar

this is so awesome dude, but i lolled at the lick at :57 (the slightly chromaticised major arpeggio), cos chris from corelia does it in his lead playing, you do it in Skye and i think other songs of yours, and i am recording a riff right now that has it

 

[Volteau]

Very nice! No secret I love your stuff. And your producing is insane as always. And man, sounds so... you. Twanged Djent?

 

[Chickenhawk]

It's no secret that I think you're a fucking genius.

 

[spilla]

Great stuff again mate!

 

[Larcher]

"Sithu Aye, Love that shit!"

 

[wasteband]

Great stuff man, awesome tune! Are you still using the same settings as your other stuff? it sounds very much like it but it just sounds like something is a bit tweaked, i dont know

If you'd like any help with mixing and recording, send me a PM and I can try help you out. Just want to keep this thread mostly on topic. Otherwise, try searching the forum and posting a thread if you can't find what you need!

Legal battle of the century ensues

Cheers man, and yeah, I kinda use that lick too much! And I stole it from John Petrucci initially! Saw him use it on G3 Tokyo and I just stuck with it as a go-to riff since then

Thanks you guys, you are all awesome

Thanks man. Yeah, all my settings are the same, nothing is tweaked. The only thing that's different is that I used my brothers £50 bass instead of his £500 one

 

[Antenna]

Dude your compositions make so much sex dude! I don't think you're capable of making bad sounds.

 

[Ardez]

Everything you do is just so fucking magical. I love your work man, I really do.

The lick Petrucci plays at 4:32 to 4:34 is where it all started for me and my overusage of that phrase/lick, as well as the slide from the flat 2nd to the 2nd. In the case of this clip and on Skye, I play it backwards but still, that's probably an easy thing to change

Just bumping to say that I had this posted on the Andy Sneap forums and of course, no one replied at first and I had to bump the thread. And then this is the first reply I got:

sounds like a total mess, very little separation between instruments.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but really? Anyway, I asked him politely how he came to this conclusion because it would interesting to hear his reasoning and if there's something he's hearing that I could improve on. Anyone of you guys hearing what he's hearing? Cheers.
