OGNEDAL.....sounds very cool.......

What is your guitar setup/source?

And.....what tuning are you using?

Sounds Great Kim!!!!!!!

Thanks Alan! :)

JudZilla:

Thank you! I make my own settings. Can't remember if I used a preset as starting point. But remember, there has been a lot of tweaking. First of all, there are 4 guitar tracks: one panned
100% left with very short delay, one panned 80% left, one panned 100% right with short delay and
one panned 80% right.

There are also effects, eq, compressors on guitarbusses and masterbus. Not to mention the mastering afterwards.

I suppose what makes the biggest difference is what guitar you use. You can't expect the same settings to sound just the same on to different guitars, with different pickups etc.

I use Addictive Drums for drums. I find that program very easy to work with, and the sounds are great.

I'm not in a band. I have not really got the time for that at the moment. But i'm sure it would be awesome, but it's very timeconsuming! What i do got time for, is collaboration! Then i can work
whenever i want. But I find it hard to get in touch with collaborators. There is not really much response.

Thanks again

Kim

The intensity of it--the sheer force--almost knocks me over. Some one made Mama mad! 

I liked that climb at 3:35, too.   

I'm not a judge of this genre, but I enjoyed listening.  This'll get you going in the mornings!

the cymbals are too present for me, they come and go really fast and that's what lets the drum sound down. They sound like all the life's been compressed out of them, some of the frequencies they were putting out made them very distracting too, so maybe cleaning them out might clean up the top end a little bit.

I wanted to hear a really nice vocal over this.

At first i thought the guitar tone was a touch too distorted and lacked a certain quality in the top end which made them hiss a little, but that may just be my own taste.

Really good overall though, just missing a nice vocal.

Cheers,
Chris

cho_drummer: Thank you for listening and commenting! About the drums: I appreciate your input, and i will consider what you say when i decide to tweak the drums. There is not a whole lot of compression going on, but i can adjust the frequencies. So what do you mean by cleaning them up? Did you think they were to "spiky" and "ear piercing"? I'm not a drummer myself, so it's nice getting input from someone who is.

I'm still searching for vocalists. There have been some response, mostly bad efforts, and i think to song deserves a little bit more that vocals recorded on the mic on a laptop :p.

There is no hiss on the guitars, but i think i know what you mean. Guitar sounds are a matter of personal taste i guess.

Notnat: Thanks a lot. I know you're quite experienced, so i'm really glad you liked it! :)
