Hello! I was sitting and playing around with different tunings as I was trying to learn playing blues slide guitar, so I tuned my guitar to Open C#. After a short moment I realised that it was to difficult for me :), so I gave up and decided to record some (semi?) metal instead! Took some...

Hey Gato, thanks! Yeah I guess you're right, I usually tend to go overboard with the amount of layers. I guess sometimes less is more :D Never too sure about the proper level of the bass, don't really have any monitoring equipment that I really trust for the lower frequencies, so mostly guess...

Hey! Used to post a couple of mixes/songs in here a while ago. However, been a bit lazy in terms of uploading stuff lately. Anyway, in case someone is interested I uploaded a couple of new songs today, mostly post/melodic metal/rock (I guess... whatever that means anyway :)). Maybe...

haha yeah, I know. Singing is something I try to avoid in general :D Sure, anything in particular? Clean guitars (5 tracks, but max 4 at the same time) are all SoloC with lots of compression and ping pong stero delay. Some have hall reverb, some got room reverb, and there is 1 with a super...

Hi! Felt inspired so I recorded a cover of the classic "All Along the Watchtower" this weekend, which I just finished! Also with vocals this time! Sorry I don't really know how to sing so I'm trying to mask my inability with even more layers/harmonies :) Recording was pretty straight...

Hey, was a bit bored so I arranged this metal version of my favorite country song, the old classic Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver :) Not super tight, but whatever :D

Thanks! Its much easier to control the low end with good monitoring headphones. Yeah I agree that the guitars are a bit blurry, always difficult to get distorted guitars to sound alright. Also, the not-so-great quadtracking probably didn't help either :)

Hey! Was a while since I posted any stuff here. I wanted to try to make something different so I recorded this folk-ispired metal song and layered some orchestra thingys on it. It's a bit cheesy, with a super-lame harmonised solo, but hey whatever :) Any comments would be...

Hey! Just bought these new ATH-M50 headphones, and wanted to try mixing something with them. I found this old song I wrote and recorded like two years ago, which I never ended up finish because I thought it sounded too messy. I figured that I'd would give it a new shot with these super...

Hey Nuno! Bass chain is not very complicated: Bridge pickup into AmpegSVX, just default settings but with cranked gain and midrange. Then compressing 10ms attack taking off about 15db, into eq boosting around 80-130hz and 2k and cutting heavily everything else in between. Finally a limiter at...

Hey! Just finished a new song, lots of layers with some postrock-ish parts. Check it out: Recording is pretty standard, X30/HyBrit for guitars. Missing my bass, so pitch shifted guitar for bass, just changed strings so actually sounds pretty deep! Of course missing the nice...

Sounds pretty damn good! Is this the sound just out of the box? Didn't realize it was just $20, that's a pretty awesome deal!

Thank you very much Brady! Glad you appreciate my music :)

Much better! I would just focus on the drums and bass now, you can barely hear the bass. Drums are a bit robotic, try humanizing them by varying the velocities. Add more room mic as well, they are a bit too bright in my opinion.

Thanks! Yep just x50. The guitar chin is just my Fender Strat -> EMU 404 USB interface -> TSE x50. Actually I just used the default settings as you load it up. Then a bit of EQ to boost the high mids and highs, and finally 2 instances of Voxengo Warmifier for some extra tube distortion.
