New Tech Death track check it!

[nrwoodman]

It's the song that is resurrecting my old technical death metal band Apophis.

Tell me how you guys like it and please critique the mix although it isn't a final mix, suggestions from a trained ear always helps.

Thanks guys, hope you enjoy.

-- used SDMF, pod farm with marshal and orange cab impulses, going for a bit smoother chill git tone.

 

[nrwoodman]

wasnt really expecting any replies. hah. waste of time.

 

[Chri]

There are a couple sections where your playing's a bit off, which you should definitely focus on fixing before working on the mix.
I would also suggest turning up the bass a dB or so.

The drums could also use a bit more meat, especially the snare. Cool song though overall
Reminds me of Decrepit Birth

 

[nrwoodman]

yeah for sure my playing wasn't quite up to par, just getting back into playing music that is actually challenging my playing a bit.

how is the guitar tone? i cant seem to find a tone that "fits" the sound but that might just be me.

 

[Chri]

I think the tone is fine as is. But if I were to nitpick I would say that the upper mids need to be tamed a wee bit. Nothing drastic, they're just kind of out of place for this style of song. (It would fit better in a metal/deathcore song IMO)

 

[Soubi7string]

I dig it
more please?

 

[nrwoodman]

there is definitely more to come, this number 8 of 9 tracks thats going to be on my bands album called Enemy of Ra

^ that is the opening to the album.

im trying to get my vocalist to knock out these songs once i get my good Condenser mic back from my friend.

Hey dude! good to see some actual tech death being called as such! Take some room out of the drums for death metaly stuff, I'll tighten the drums up to your guitar tone

 

[Stealth7]

I'm diggin' this!

BTW is Nile a big influence on your music?

 

[Wookieslayer]

Awesome

 

[Fionn]

very noice, id agree with above post, guitars need less hid mids and more low mids... composition is mint!

 

[chumthehut]

reminds me of Arsis, which is sick.

 

[nrwoodman]

Thanks a lot guys, I've been busy with lots of other things, but I'm going to address some of the mix issues probably tomorrow.

And vocals are coming soon for both the tracks that i posted here I'm stoked to be getting this band back together.

 

[Stealth7]

Do you have a myspace or something where we can listen to all your tracks?

 

[nrwoodman]

The band does have a myspace but the recordings on there are ancient (and the songs have been reworked), pretty good nonetheless, this album will be finished in a couple months, including the songs you'll see on the myspace page.

and i have a mix update.. >> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6357658/Enemy of Ra mix 2411.mp3

 

[NaYoN]

This is pretty awesome dude. I like how 'Tech Death' means different stuff to everyone. I also have a tech death song up here on the recording forum, I'd like to know what you think: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/re...-fx-metal-foundry-death-metal-super-epic.html

Personally, I could never write a song like this, I think very differently. But this is a good thing! I like your stuff.

 

[Tomo009]

Love the mix, so powerful. The bass drums actually seem to have some bass in them which is a plus. Overall just a great mix, tight mix and great composition. So many great recording up at the moment, wish I could produce metal of this quality.

 

[nrwoodman]

Thanks guys, there will be more of this music to come, probably going to post a thread of the whole album once its done, gonna be some awesome shit once you hear my vocalist lay some tracks down for this.

 

[DrewsifStalin]

Huge improvement dude! Good job! drop some mid in those guitars so we can hear some notes

 

[nrwoodman]

Thanks man, I'll play with the mids in guitars a bit more when i get home.
