    record-a-riff thread anyone?

    Good job Moonlapse. There's a little fuck up with your clean tone, its noisy, maybe you just need to lower the volume or a few bands a bit. Playing is plain perfect, nice solos. What's wrong with The Amen Corner? God damn your sucky bands list is like my fav bands list (except for past...

    record-a-riff thread anyone?

    Heard good things about Cubase. I use Cooledit Pro and its pretty easy to use. You can do multi-track recording easily. My guitar teacher is usigng Soundforge and it seems to be very good too. I'd give it a try.

    record-a-riff thread anyone?

    @bball : thanks for the contribution, the timing is a bit off in some parts though, try playing with a metronome or some midi drum track, helps a lot. Well I'm going to answer this one since I started the thread. The original idea was to make a Opeth-riff thread, as we used to do, but let's...

    record-a-riff thread anyone?

    I use Fruity Loops for my drum tracks. I think it's ok since my samples are pretty good, but I haven't tried anything else. The create-a-song thing could be a cool idea... I'm willing to write a riff and see where someone else could take it.

    record-a-riff thread anyone?

    Guess this thread is doomed then. I don't think anyone else is going to take part. It sucks cause your recordings sounded really nice.

    record-a-riff thread anyone?

    Back about a year ago we had some pretty nice Opeth recording going on. Feel free to record something else though, I don't give a damn. I think that the rating other ppl's riff idea wouldn't work that well on this board. *Waiting for Moonlapse to post a riff*

    record-a-riff thread anyone?

    Can't find the old threads so I'll just start a new one. I just bought a Gibson Studio Les Paul and I wanted to record some stuff. This is a little Blackwater Park play along, I'm on the left channel, the original song is panned right. A few mistakes, its a very rough mix, but the tone is...

    A call to photoshop bitches

    Ok now I remember why I stoped posting here. It would be nice if anyone could help with something serious. Or maybe you bunch of freaks pissed off all intelligent and talented ppl on this board. For those who asked, I'm just looking for a simple flyer with something along the lines of...

    A call to photoshop bitches

    I need your help. I have an Opeth cover band, named Deliverance, and we are starting to do some gigs. We would need to have a flyer, something that would get the attention of every Opeth fan passing by. The thing is, we all suck with photoshop and stuff. I know a lot of crazy fans here are...

    Kamelot - The Black Halo

    I wouldn't call Kamelot progressive metal... I've never been a fan of theirs, but I believe this album is pretty much my kind of stuff, maybe it will pave the way for me to enjoy their previous work. Next question is : where do you get this cd for the lowest price?

    Kamelot - The Black Halo

    If I love the track you consider as the worst of the album, maybe I wont like the rest of the album. I'll listen to another one before deciding wether I buy it or not.

    Does anyone have Serenity Painted Death Live?

    I once had this live SPD but deleted it. The sound is not really good on this version, there's nothing more to it than the original recording. @ décadent : I have nothing against off topic discussion, as long as it is not 95% meaningless discussion like it actually is.

    Kamelot - The Black Halo

    I downloaded The March of Mephisto and I love that song. Very original and inspired. I will most likely buy this album soon.
