    Live backing tracks: best affordable methods?

    [I posted this elsewhere on Ultimate Metal due to some confusion. This is where I really meant to post it, provided it's the right subforum - AS forums have changed a lot since I was last here many years ago. Hey guys, good to be back!] What do you guys think is the best way of using backing...

    Methods for live backing tracks

    What do you guys think is the best way of using backing tracks live? What I've done is: I take the project files of our songs, pan everything to the hard left, and pan the project click to the hard right. This way I get a non-optimal, somewhat crappy mono mix of the synths we have. My careful...

    I'm back

    Not exactly counting on anyone to remember... It's been quite a few years since I've posted a couple of messages on here. But it'll be nice to see if there are any old faces around here still posting. Recently released new material from my band, Chaotech, which I'll be posting on some "rate my...

    Check out my bands new song and video(by a fellow sneapster)

    We've recently recorded a new Bonemechanics EP and slowly putting it out there - so far in the form of two new released songs and a brand new lyric video. This EP is mixed and mastered by Santeri Salmi, who some of you might remember from this fine forum here; he's posting under the nickname...

    USB3 HDDs for audio use

    I have an external hard drive which I have been using with the Firewire connection, but I need more space than that since it's only 500gb capacity. It seems like Firewire is slowly going out, but I don't feel like investing on a Thunderbolt external for the time being. This led me thinking how...

    Bonemechanics (check out our new vid!!!)

    We're a relatively new DM band from Finland, working on new stuff and hopefully recording a full-length this summer in an actual studio. We've just released a new music video for a brand new song, hope you'll like it! Was really fun making that. And as always, any comments are more...

    A soundtrack piece (Skyrim-esque)

    Something a little different on here - wrote this after I bought a new library that allowed me to create the vocals on it. It's somewhat inspired by Jeremy Soule's work on the Skyrim and other Elder Scrolls' soundtracks, as you might notice. I'm pretty happy how it turned out, wanna hear what...

    Vaping (e-cigs)

    E-cigs. Any Sneapster into them? It's a broad subject, so our Sneap community here could help people make the switch. I'm liking it so far, at best it hits you better than real cigarettes ever did, and there's even a bit of G.A.S. related to it once you start experimenting with the mods. :lol...

    just posting to give a heads-up about some updates regarding my melodeath band Chaotech. We're busily working on new songs and pre-production for a new album, and while we're doing that, we thought we should again shove our stick in the nest of ants that is the internet. i decided to improve...
