This makes me want to punch a dragon in the face or something.You've left yourself some obvious verse/chorus/verse/chorus structure before it all falls off into that bridge section at like 2:40. I think given the absence of vocals, you're gonna need to add something to give it progression in the second verse/chorus. Lead guitar part? I'm asking you to shred further, my friend. That should be the most welcome feedback you ever receive. Breaking the rules to say "congratulations" and "this is fuckin' awesome" and "I bought it".

Nigel Tufnel posted:I really like this. Very lush. Nice single note electric guitar backing in the background. It carried me along. Most pleasing. This song is making my studio monitor vibrate my loving desk. It feels really clean and easy to digest even though the pace is brutal. I really like your mixing, and it is gonna sound killer when you get some vocals in there. I keep expecting you to use a F power chord to resolve back into your E chugging on your initial riff, and you use a F# instead. In fact, there's a lot of places where a more minor chord sounded natural and then you stuck that major note in there instead. When 0:58 rolls around it makes for a really bright and triumphant kind of sound that i dig a lot. e; oh right https://soundcloud.com/jacob-staudt/end-of-the-line-1 I wrote just this part originally for the ADD poo poo that the lounge just did, but a friend of mine liked it and now we're considering expanding it into a whole song. I redid the lead parts and metronomed it out to polish it a bit more. When i wrote it I had 4 bars of solo guitar, followed by a slow build up while the lead goes and has fun. My friend on the other hand is a bit new to drums, and maybe missed my general vibes  : https://soundcloud.com/torrentialfire/jsww-end-of-the-lineHe just got his electric drum set like this year, so he's pretty new to drums. Hopefully if I keep working with him he'll improve steadily and we can actually take some of these ideas all the way. I got kind of tired of using a synth for drums. its curtains for Kevin fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Apr 1, 2015 |

Here are two covers I did while getting drunk, so don't expect anything good. Especially vocals. The first isn't really a sketch, it's a cover of Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. But it's not a finished piece so gently caress it, it's a sketch. https://soundcloud.com/syntaxfunction/crazy-cover The second I did while I was quite drunk, so I had to do several takes of the guitar and enough takes of the vocals that I said "gently caress it, that'll do". The lyrics are complete placeholders. I do not like them at all. The vocal style is kinda what I'm going for, but I'd rather a bit more energy. https://soundcloud.com/syntaxfunction/summer-hare-1 It's an old song, but I finally put lyrics and stuff to it.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I talk to him, thanks  I like the initial melody for Summer Hare; I'd like to hear you go back to it as another instrument takes lead halfway through the song; maybe a violin? You could hit a really strong 2nd verse/chorus or just use that as the high point if you want. Also sing louder in your songs! Whether its because of you afraid to make noise around others or just a general timidity thing, its better to capture your voice full man. https://soundcloud.com/jacob-staudt/unnerving-mxd1 I'm..not even really sure what this is. 7/8 time, delay/swell effects, using my trem to get a slight microtone feel...I kind of want to get some melodic head voice in there, and some sort of exotic percussion...maybe bongos? I dunno. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to do octave grooves with a bass though. It's a ton of fun. Power chords sounds icky with that instrument so adding the octave as a piece of the rhythm adds a lot of depth to a bass line imo its curtains for Kevin fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Apr 10, 2015 |

If I could pick out one thing that didn't work for me I think this would be much nicer if you found a way to make the drum loop sound more organic. The sameyness is a bit jarring after a while. Maybe some variation in the pattern and something to make it sound less synthesized and more fitting with the rest of the track's other elements. ----- I got some really good reactions last time I posted up a black metal track I've been working on so here's one from the same EP with vocals this time. I'm particularly interested to hear what you guys think of the vocal mixing as I went back and forth on the verse vocal level on this one. Inspiration for the vocal style was basically Abbath from Immortal. Instrumentally it's a black metal / thrash hybrid. I think. https://soundcloud.com/kassad-1/claws/s-wLyQx

I'd comment on Nigel's but I'm not a thrash/black metal fan really so I can't help, sorry! The vocals do suit the instruments though? Reminds me of Pantera/Metallica, which I guess is thrash.

Yo your mix slays dude; once they get going I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and a jazz song off a record. IMO some of the drums could be -slightly- more present in the mix but its already way better sounding than most of the poo poo we post in this thread. I just got back from a 2 week trip covering 15 states and this is the fruit of my labor https://soundcloud.com/jacob-staudt/seashore-waitress-mixdown Was exposed to a lot of country, tried just keeping the chorus chords simple and using the riff I made as the hook.

Right now we're both basically just throwing poo poo at the wall to see what sticks, or "Here's a riff I wrote, what do you think" kind of thing. "White Claudia" was something I wrote that was just a random sort of idea I came up with one afternoon. "In the Presence of" was my friend's guitar and keys work "Quiet One" is all his guitar work "Hiding Place" he wrote the guitar and I threw the keys on top "White Claudia" and "Dying Light" I wrote, and admittedly my guitar work isn't great as I've really only been playing a little over a year or so. The keyboards stuff I find much easier because I can just load up whatever pad I want, mess around with it and go "That sounds good" and build from there, where as with guitar I don't really have that luxury or the theory stuff to know "This chord goes with this chord"

Thanks for the feedback! I've always felt vocals were the weakest part of my music. But I will try and improve with your advice! We're probably setting up a ghetto rehearsal/demo recording space in the near future, so hopefully I'll be able to belt it! I don't know what you'd call Outside (I am terrible with genres) but it's one of my favourite styles of electronic music. Nice and ambient-ish but with a cool melody. Make an album of that (Or an EP), put it on Bandcamp and let me know. I think it doesn't require anything heavy but it'd be cool if the vocals provided a melody on top. Ooh, maybe a build up and crescendo with them! That'd be cool. If you do hip hop vocals then I think it should be chilled and laid back to match. This is not a lot of good advice! joylessdivision posted:https://soundcloud.com/alchemillas-ghost/sets/alechimllas-ghost I realise these are only demos but the plinky guitar is killing me. It almost sounds like a ukelele, and doesn't match the feel at all! Aside from that, I like the doomy feel and Quiet One especially could be good with some heavy, mildly distorted guitars layered. Or, transition Quiet One to Hiding Place as one song. Once the synths do a bar or two on Hiding Place, then put in the heavy. If you want to go that way, that is. White Claudia seems really out of place. I'm not a fan of that one. Dying Light is nice though. Don't go distorted with that. Just keep it melancholic and it'd be a great closer. I recorded a thing today. I borrowed my bassist's Tera Echo and said I'd see what I can do with it. I picked a key (G#m in this case) and recorded two simple loops and decided to restrict my noodling to first position, though I broke that a few times. The lead was done in one take. So were the loops actually, so they might be a little off. It's mainly practice for the one riff I repeat. Here it is! Edit: I made a slightly more songified version of this idea. This be it. It's a far more condensed version. I think I might extend it a few more bars so I can get some noodly fun going on. Maybe get some bass and vocals happening too. Edit x2: Figure I might as well add on some more tracks I've been messing with. My old riff/song thing called Valium makes its return with bass added by my friend. Here's the raw track and here it is after I did some mixing and EQing (though I'm not very knowledgeable about that). Any tips would be great. I'm not sold on the sound of the distortion for the guitar and will be doing another version with a drum track and my actual amp mic'd (Instead of a pedal run to an interface). syntaxfunction fucked around with this message at 07:44 on May 31, 2015 |

Yo, I really like Valium! It really has a good Nirvana vibe going for it. I think when you switch to the heavier distortion you've got a good idea, but the mix gets really muddy, and you should try to EQ your mids way down for at least one of your instruments; there's just too much competition for that part of your ear and I really have trouble getting the notes out of the song. https://soundcloud.com/jacob-staudt/switchboard-sleeper-mxd A piezo pickup! Special effects! A Distorted chorus! I'm feeling really good about the melody for this one; i'm excited to get my friend's drums in here. I'll probably write a bass line tomorrow.

Maybe a very gentle bit of synth pad in the background? Guitar tone has quite a lot of treble so that's something to look at too. I get a very Killswitch Engage vibe from the guitars. That's not a bad thing (unless you don't like them) I'd be interested to see how it expands out to a full song This is one of the first riffs I ever wrote, it's super simple, but I was going for something kinda doomy, in a sort of My Dying Bride/Burzum kind of way. https://soundcloud.com/davidplaysgloomymusic/so-comes-the-weeping And here's a couple synth tracks I did https://soundcloud.com/davidplaysgloomymusic/dying-light-music-box https://soundcloud.com/davidplaysgloomymusic/suffer-the-children-alessas E: And thanks NTT for calling me on my poo poo, I wasn't paying attention. joylessdivision fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Jun 5, 2015 |

I hate to be that guy, but can you not just post poo poo without commenting in return? Even if the comments can seem half assed some time, nobody likes to say 'hey check this out!' and then have it ignored. Feedback is just important as contribution, so please do that. I'm not even saying you have to specifically talk about the post above you; just pick something someone posted in the last few posts and say what you think about it, or respond to anything they ask you to think about.

Suffer the children is pretty neat too; something you could consider for making your music more complex, since both of those pieces don't have any progression at all, would be to read the Spectralism thread and try to make your parts different from the use of timbre and volume. I think that this particular kind of music has a -lot- of room for that musical style. Music box especially would really work well, since the idea of a music box repeating a single tune, but it never quite sounding the same way twice is very haunting. https://soundcloud.com/jacob-staudt/greener-glades-mxd This is the first time in months where I wrote pretty much an entire song in one sit down.

So: I love this track, to be clear. My notes are maybe pretty nitpicky because of the headspace I'm in. I find the guitars smeary a bit when the drums first come in. The timing, I mean, smeared. When the first build-up pays off, the guitar timing weirdness gets worse. The attack is not very crisp as a result. Back to the next chorus, the doubling is really bothering me because the delay between the two tracks on left and right are sooooooooo far apart! But seriously, this is a rad track and I love it. As for me, welp, it finally happened: I hit peak electro / dance. Here is the track: https://soundcloud.com/mattwalters/ympektid-the-end-is-near-get-your-love-and-get-out Literally the only thing I've ever recorded that I feel compelled to dance to. edit: Since nobody has replied / posted in the last week, I'll just add the track I did today: https://soundcloud.com/mattwalters/ympektid-tomorrowland I think I'm getting the hang of this modular thing.

HOly poo poo that first one has a hell of a beat. I was nodding to it real good without even realizing it.

I was going for a Wolves In The Throne Room vibe.  woah.This is not a genre with which I'm overly familiar, but I find the guitars to be a little brittle (too much high end?) and not enough "layer" to be the big, thick wall I think you maybe want them to be. You may be able to get this effect by doubling the tracks and offseting them by 2-30 milliseconds. I really want the kick to be snappier, thumpier, and more forward in the mix. The drums are almost completely lost in this mix. Again, maybe what you were looking for - I am much more familiar with older metal (ex. Slayer, Sepultura) so that may be the tone I'm wanting to hear. So. Here's my new jam: stuck neck cut. It is 100% modular with no external effects - EQ, compression and panning only in the DAW. I loving love my modular. I wasn't sure to begin with, and the amount of time it takes to patch something up sometimes feels a little bit oppressive, but god damned if the results aren't worth it every drat time. At least, they feel that way to me.

I'm glad you like my stuff! I mostly play about a half hour at home, but I also play 90 minutes a day at work; during both of my breaks and at lunch. I take my classical with me and just sit in a little hallway alcove and play. I just emphasize playing my own music instead of just doing covers, and eventually after hours of noodling i just write music. Nothing really but lots of time on the strings.

I'd like more out of the kick and low register, but that's typically what I want out of black metal in general so you're probably good. Synth in the breakdown is neat too! Borrowing a different guitar from a friend and my first creative output in a few months turned into https://soundcloud.com/skudmunky/sketch-8-29-15. Electric violin left channel, guitar right channel, bit of fun with a midi controller I made for my Digitech Whammy around the middle of the song.

I think the ultra-modulated whammy might be a little overused in the middle section, but maybe I'm just being a dick. Seriously though, this is fantastic, especially the final section. Beautiful textures. Nice work! So, here's my latest output. This is in no way related to the other music I've posted here; it's basically a sludgy industrial rock song. I am, however, very happy with how it has turned out so far. I'd love some feedback on it though. muzzlestamped promise - mistake - I even recorded vocals for it! e. if you happened to listen to this in the last 40 minutes, sorry - the mix was awful. I've fixed it. Should have taken a listening break before uploading. HandlingByJebus fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Aug 30, 2015 |

/soundcloud.com/jacob-staudt/apnic-mxd[/url] Nobody posts in this thread so I had time to track a second guitar and pan it, then throw in some bass and also EQ it. [/quote] Dude, this is really cool. You have a really good head for structure on this. Kinda vibing radiohead. The separation of the 2 guitars make it really cool, if you wanted to continue the song ide suggest syncing the 2 parts and changing key or something. Listen to Ascending by Mia&Monaco #np on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/miaandmonaco/ascending Here's something I never finished. I need some direction on where to go after the solo.. it's a little metal but it's groovy and swingy. Thanks guys!

GrunderGretch posted:Listen to Ascending by Mia&Monaco #np on #SoundCloud The main groove here is really great - at first I balked at you using the word "metal" but then the full thing kicked in and I really started enjoying it! But I will say that it's a little fatiguing on the ear to just hear it bounce between two chords the entire time. Maybe find a new chord progression to change to after the solo? Something complementary that can be used as a bridge?

Sounds good to me, I have a more updated version on my hard drive where I do something like that but I'll make it a more dynamic change for sure.

No one's is posting so here's another idea I'm working on. Really digging the transition towards the end but I need some advice on where to go next. Listen to New material! by Mia&Monaco #np on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/miaandmonaco/new-material

I really like the tones in this, very nice. What are you using for drums? They also sound great, the whole thing sounds uplifting and clean.

Drums are superior drummer:metal factory and I ran each drum mic into a separate channel for some small eqing and panning. Any suggestions for where the song should head? Extend the change? Go back? New riff? Slow? Fast?

To me the ending you have sounds like it really wants to break down into something slow and full electro kind of sounding, imagine it morphing into something like the start of (specifically from about 1.16): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JitbvK6hpA That'd be my thoughts anyhoots, whatever you do with it though it'll be awesome I reckon
