    My Band, GHOST SHIP OCTAVIUS, and our second album

    Hello all. It's been quite a while since I've found myself on forums, and ultimate metal specifically, but now is the time for self-promotion; my band just launched the second album's kickstarter campaign, and we are taking pre-orders right now. I figure this is one of the places that...

    Thanks! I don't know. I picked up keys in middle school but never learned to read music. Sonar X1 (the daw I use) comes with dimension pro which has some pretty neat synths actually.

    Anyone here plays the piano? Or synths.

    I do! :rock: Though generally people aren't very impressed with keyboards so I usually just do guitar/vocal stuff. I also have a hard time recording MIDI cause it never feels right for some reason... So I usually just go audio out of my korg M50 In this (original) song I play a few keyboard...

    Positive Grid Bias for Mac/PC

    I used Bias desktop for this rough cover and this soundgarden cover by my band: I must say, in both cases I have been so far impressed with the results. And it's a lot of fun to mess around with. Not to mention, the versatility when it comes down to mixing time is really nice. It's on par...

    What has the world come to?

    Seconded! After watching thunderf00t's series on solar roadways I couldn't believe it. But, potato salad is still more practical than solar roadways, I must say. It looks like it's the age of "make the dumbest idea imaginable, and ask people for money"

    What has the world come to?

    When musicians struggle to raise enough for producing their music, many labels are shrinking and many losing their capability to fully fund bands, and yet people will give ($40,000 so far) to THIS!? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/324283889/potato-salad At first, it made me laugh. But it...

    Prometheus (I am alive) cover (all instruments)

    Took some time, but I did everything here and programmed in the drums via MIDI. Instruments by ear :zombie: This is my best shot: Let me know if you would wants the MIDI drums or instrumental track for it.

    The Metal Vocals primer and Q&A

    An interesting thing I have noticed and people have talked about is the fact that false fold distortion tends to tickle. From what I understand they say it's more prone to cause polyps than lesions, but throat singers are able to sing kargyraa their entire lives this way. I have heard crazy...

    Awwww yissssss Opeth

    Heritage was fantastic imo. I have loved all of their albums so cannot wait for another. They seem to just grow as a band.. unlike bands that re-write the same riffs over and over to create another album that shouldn't be made. I think that's what separates them from the rest.

    Van's new project: Ghost Ship Octavius

    Unfortunate but true. He is focusing on Armageddon, which without a doubt will be awesome. GSO is releasing some teaser stuff to hear really soon, so keep an eye out! :rock:
