EDIT: Well, there we go - finally ran out of webspace. What I'm going to have to do now is periodically delete the MP3s that have been up there for the longest time so I can upload the new ones! As a result I've removed all the direct MP3 links other than the latest one, but if you go directly to my FTP you should still be able to find a couple of older recordings available.

haha, I just listened to the tab yesterday for the first time in a while.
Siiiiiick recording, brah. Seriously, the quality is great.

Since I'm sure Alex will be reading this post: where teh fux is paht 2?

Woooow. Awesome job. You're a machine.

Wtf man this is incredible.

Goddamnit, I forgot to change my export settings so the previous MP3 was only 128kbps. Just uploading a 192 version now which should sound a bit better.

Thanks for the kind words! I forgot to say the bass is just MIDI still - I didn't feel up to learning Alex's slap sections, haha.

Holy damn, dood. This sounds amazing! What did you use for the drums? They sound pretty freakin' real!!!

Man, I'm just floored at how this came out. Excellent job!

EDIT:

While, I'm at it, what did you use to record your guitars? What audio interface did you use and what program did you use for your effects and lastly, what program did you use to record?

The drums, as ever, are Acoustica Beatcraft standard ones with some panning, EQ, compression and reverb. Oh, and some lovingly-recorded shaky egg...

My audio interface is an Edirol UA-25, I don't use a program for effects - they're all done on my Pod XT Live - and I use Cakewalk SONAR LE. Glad you like it!

=-o Thanks for sharing! I had never heard this righteous tune till now, and the song is bad ass, and the recording is wow. Great stuff.

Sweet shit, brosely! Man, I really love this stuff. Thanks.

I have to check out Acoustica Beatcraft. I use EZDrummer and it sounds really great but I'm always looking for more options.

So you use the standard Rock kit and apply the EQ, reverb, and comp. in SONAR?

I use various components from the "Dry Studio Set", with all the panning saved as a preset kit, then apply compression (the setting's called "Phatten Drums" or something), EQ (my own setting) and reverb ("Lite 'verb") in the Overall FX section of Beatcraft. I am actually hoping to get my hands on a copy of Drumkit From Hell in the near future, though!

nice man,. Thanks for all that. I will definitely give all that a shot ASAP.

Faaantaaaastic. The fast runs in the solo are really impressive; the fingerings seem kinda weird and jumpy in the tab but it sounds smooth in the recording.


The egg shaker from 1:10 - 1:30 RULES.

Spectacular job!
I loved the percussion!

hey dude congratulations for the song up there,sounds cool to me even if it is not the genre I much prefer!I actually have a copy of drumkit from hell 2 but I think it is an old version or I can't use it cause you get a keyboard to make drum patterns and it's a bit confusing...

That was totally fuckin cool.


Nice job man. And New Noise, awesome tune. Good writing.


One criticism. That kick is a bit "in my face" at the moment. Tone that down, and it'd be pretty much *there*.
