    Looking For Metal Album Collab

    Haha, thank you. I am an old enough fart to know that my strengths lie in (lead) playing, writing melodies/harmonies/chords and in general spicing things up here and there (e.g. with synths to create tension etc). However, I also know for a fact that I suck hard at creating drums and/or...

    Another noodle based on song Idea2.mp3, which is again somewhere there in the mix ;) Sorry if I raped something. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55653919/DropB%20Kemper/151-um-lead-test-2.mp3

    Looking For Metal Album Collab

    If this is the process you wish (once you have cleaned up :P) then send em to me by all means. In the clip I posted, there is already that prog1.wav from "song idea 6" baked in, but it might be a bit buried for you to hear it. It might work best if you could send me the DIs and possible...

    Looking For Metal Album Collab

    Thanks dude! IMO it is great to see clean vocals and real drums mentioned in this thread already, because everything seems to be growling/midi nowadays ... But of course it is up to the OP to decide the way to go. I am also interested in songwriting, but my experiences in composing over the...

    Looking For Metal Album Collab

    Well, couldn't help checking out what kind of leads cross my mind with "song idea 6" ... This emerged (completely unmixed): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55653919/DropB%20Kemper/151-um-lead-test.mp3 Maybe too "polished/naive"? :guh:

    Looking For Metal Album Collab

    I could do some solo work, if you let me :D I may be noobish at mixing things, but I have been playing guitar for 25+ years, so I might have a lick or two in my pocket. :hotjump:

    Demo-level mixing service (it’s free!)

    Yeah it is true that I could and should credit whoever provides the multitracks. But I think that (according to local laws; no "fair use" etc in Finland) there should also be a permission from the label/band in the first place if it is a cover song. I actually have more of a scouting-type ad...

    Demo-level mixing service (it’s free!)

    Thanks for pointing that out. Then there is also this site: http://nrqs.net/en/posts/110 Besides practicing mixing, I have also other interests here, such as having the possibility to directly ask for permission to use the bands' copyrighted material in promoting my own work. I am not really...

    EDIT Dec 6: Thank you for your interest! Both of you! :D I am no longer offering this service due to time constraints. --- Hello Metal bands! Apparently I sit in front of a computer and mix for a hobby every night... I would certainly like to have some more raw material from actual bands...

    practise time - kataklysm-as i slither- DI files inside

    My approach, guitars are reamped through a Kemper Uberschall profile and boosted with the mouse (rat?) pedal for a change: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55653919/Laardi%20mix%20practice%20-%20Kataklysm%20-%20As%20I%20Slither.mp3

    Mixing Metalcore (Multitracks)

    I tried to give this a shot, but found myself in trouble with the noise and the mentioned tuning issues etc. Here is however a clip of what I accomplished today: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55653919/Laardi%20mix%20-%20Bleeding%20%28clip%29.mp3

    Killswitch Engage - In Due Time (instrumental and vocal cover)

    My version. Used the Axe-Fx guitars and bass DI. Superior Metal Machine drums. I have done very little mixing so far, but these tracks were so much fun to work with. Thanks for sharing these...

    Playing with Amplitube 3

    That's a great song! Mind sharing some info about the way you used Amplitube here? I was never too fond of Amplitube 3, but that is probably due to the fact that I don't know how to dial in a good tone :D Now that I have a Kemper, I can load other people's great tones easily and try to...

    Help solve my bullshit Kemper problems(samples inside)

    I have done only a couple of profiles so far and they were spot on, no problems. I assume you refine the profile in the process? The low end issue reminds me of this thread and this post in particular: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/backline/832189-kemper-profiling-amp-40.html#post10662513...
