Brand New Instrumental!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatsup Everyone!!!!!!!!!! Its been a little while since I have posted. The past few months have been crazy. This is the first song I have recorded with my 8 string Agile Septor Elite in Sonar Platinum. Pretty awesome guitar. My student Vince co-wrote the guitars on this one and my buddy Javi Martin provided the solo @ 2:12.  I hope you all enjoy the song.  https://soundcloud.com/mu...ntergalactic-sensation

    Thanks a lot everyone, actually the drums are Superior Drummer with the snare and kick sampled out. I have been working on my drum sound forever. Just trying to make them not sound fake lol.

    Oh yeah....    That's a style I can certainly relate to!    I really liked the melodic multi-tracked lines intermixed with those dissonant "shards" in the first part, and those low lines in the third part.   With the second part as a nice breather in between.

    Drums sound fantastic! Great playing, incredible mix, and I love the nicely melodic break. Quite a tour de force!

    Thanks a lot Kevin. I have been striving for quite some time to make my mixes sound killer. I really want to think that it sounds professional.

    Kick ass tune.  Nice guitar tone too.  That riff at 1:10 really gets your damn attention and that's when I started liking the song.  Great metal piece, and the changes were just right.  And yeah, your drums don't sound fake to me.  I'm kind of surprised you didn't go for a tighter snare though. 
     
    Nice work, very impressed here.

    I've always wondered whether there were some savant audiophiles who can actually tell you which drum sample library someone is using, blind folded.  :D

    Voda thank you very much. i really appreciate your comment. Eph, I think the same thing. I have had some fun with a few musician friends and none of them could tell they were programmed drums.
