I made a new song, lemme know what you think! Constructive criticism is always welcome!

Haha no problem man, i love talking gear (even though it's a pretty cheap setup I have lol. Money's a bitch at times) I do use iZotope Ozone actually, for mastering. Personally I really like it, it's on every one of my songs, sometimes multiple times for like post-post-processing haha. It's probably one of my most used plugins, together with addictive drums and reValver.

Hey man, thanks for the reply! I did indeed record DI, no amp or cab involved haha. I do have hardware for guitar so not 100% plugins though. I use a Zoom G3X for everything guitar related (i like the overdrives and amp sims better than the ones in plugins so far. Also has that cool auto-wah for the clean bit haha), with redwirez cab impulses loaded in the VST leCab by lepou (they sound hella better than the built in impulses in the zoom). After that the delay and reverb on the leads were done with peavey's ReValver III.V. For bass i went completely off of plugins though. I use ReValver's 6505 model (very high gain), together with a clean DI. Both guitars and bass were post-eq'd with the native reaper plugins. Not sure how the vox were recorded, blast beat did those . I did process those with iZotope Nectar though. I do agree with the presence, could have been a bit brighter but i couldn't make it work. For some reason it felt less powerful. Well at least that's how i do it haha. Hope i answered your questions about the plugins :3

This is one of my older songs, but recreated! I hit up my homeboy Blast Beat and rerecorded this song i wrote when i first started out with music in the community. All credits on the vocals and lyrics go to Blast Beat (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-fyMu96LDgqOkbHd28e9Bg) Check it out!

Yep, i did another music thing! Pretty happy with the end result, if you're not into too much heaviness this track might suit you. Lemme know what you think!
-
for some silly reason i can't stop listening to this cover of zedd's clarity.
-
hey guys, i've released a new track again. FFO modern day babylon, destiny potato and canapplejack i guess
-
Thanks Mark Holcomb, now i have this in my head. Not necessarily a bad thing though
-
I play guitar, i might try something like that. Already had my creative juices flowing for 000's a few days ago haha EDIT updated link
-
Destiny potato is so awesome. I haven't had the time to post this beause i've been too busy listening the new album to death. Here ya go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv61x8oxADY

some music that's also not slayer. Slayer is way overrated IMO. I mean they're cool and were new at the time all but the music is way overrated (opinion guys no h8)
-
eh that's one of my least favorite van halen track tbh xD Ain't talkin' bout love is probably one of my favorites so here's an amazing cover by Mike Semesky and Alex Rudinger
-
how about this. polymetrics and polyrhythms gone way over the top. I love it haha
-
This guy is so amazing :0 can't keep it out of my head. Lucky me it's not shit haha it's adele though. But it's just too good. Solo bass can be much more awesome than i thought
-
Yeah that'd be awesome! I have some spare time anyway! My skype is GijsGro, hmu there
-
yeah i've been practicing tapping and sweeping quite a bit lately but i'm not yet at the point where i am confident enough about it to implement in my leads (although there is an economy-sweeped part at one point). And yeah those patterns seem pretty cool, i was thinking of implementing something like that, but i never really liked the outcome that much. By the way i use drum software so i have all cymbals i really need. The pattern I used was mainly to create some sort of a climax towards pega's lead. Could have been executed better i'm with you there haha
-
Hm yeah i guess it is more regular metal than metalcore huh. I've really been tweaking my rhythm tone since the beginning and i'm not really sure what you mean by fuzzy actually. I've been tightening it a lot and really been going for a tight low end and kind of a 'djent' ish sound. Maybe the distortion is a bit high though and the EQ isn't spot on completely. I'm trying to keep the bass out of the rhythm guitars to make space for the bass guitar itself, which could have been boosted a bit more. True. And yeah me and pegasyth both aren't really great at fast playing so that wasn't really an option. Both of us have a fixed bridge as well. I've been trying to get my solos as interesting as possible, don't know about pegasyth though. What exactly do you mean by flavour in the drums? I know the kicks could have some more 'click' and that one cymbal is pretty overpowering. Should've alternated cymbals there. I'm still working on that but could you elaborate? Do you mean like more use of toms and tricks? About the master, i've just been working from a preset in ozone, heavily modifying it so that it really doesn't even sound close to the preset. What exactly is wrong with the master? like, too much clipping for loudness? Anyway thanks for the (very fast) feedback, really appreciate it

Hey guys! I recently released yet another track and am pretty proud of how it turned out. Definately my best mix thus far IMO. I'm also pretty satisfied with the riffs going on. Check it out, if you like bands like periphery/haunted shores and intervals, you might like this! There's also a few dubstep-esque wobble sections and an Animals as Leaders-ish clean section. Enjoy:
-
How about some shameless self promotion haha. i have been working on this recently, whaddaya guise think? love to hear your opinions
-
seriously that is my favorite track off the album (which has been the first album i've bought in quite a long time). It's so jazzy, but also so heavy. Semesky's doing a great job on the vocals, i too am one of the people who are liking this direction. And like you said, the human abstract was the first band to come to mind as well with the album haha.
-
I ain't even mad in the slightest. this album is freakin' amazing. This song especially with all the jazzy stuff
-
This is sooo great... Running into the dark with our eyes wide open! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTk3VKJ--6E

My Album/EP has been released! I'm really thrilled because it's been a heck of a journey haha. This has been in the works for about a year now and i'm pretty pround of the final result. It's pretty much straight up progressive metalcore, with exceptions for a few parts. Hope you guys like it as much as i did making it!
