I agree with this. Music is my major, and I'm somewhat fluent in piano. Sometimes I'll dick around on it, and I'll come up with some progressions that are pretty damn good. Knowing different instruments in general helps composition, I think. As for actually song-writing in the band I'm...

I do not know the success rate of this, but it is what I plan on doing for the time being. Anyone have any experience using live programmed drums? I currently use Acoustica Beatcraft as my drum machine. Any and all tips/criticism/trolling would be appreciated. Thanks. \m/

Damn it! He knows!!

The only thing BC&SL had was A Nightmare To Remember, and not even the entire song at that. The way Portnoy ended the AA Suite on that album sucked huge dick, they all just recycled riffs from the previous parts, hardly anything new. I don't know what's happened. I personally love Systematic...

Man, I don't know... Maybe they should have taken a break like Portnoy wanted. The album sounds too... forced? I think they are done, sadly. I also don't think it has anything to do with Portnoy leaving/Mangini showing up. They have exhausted their creativity it feels like. Oh, and JP needs to...

I just picked it up. Still listening to it, not finished yet. I've got some... mixed ideas about it. What does everyone else think about it?

Dude, that is awesome! If you haven't checked out Animals As Leaders, do so. But that is some awesome stuff. Keep up the good work! \m/

If you know anything about theory, implement that too. Even if it's just a few small things. Adding a measure of 5/4 every now and then can go a long way in changing a song, especially in breakdown sections. Thru-composing (songs that have little or no sections that repeat) is something else you...

Ok, update: I have the Bass line scored. Gonna go for the 1st Tenor voicing next.... shit.

Yeah, I can definitely hear the intro in this piece. I look up the sheet music and get back to you guys on this.

Yeah, I can hear how some parts are similar. I might just say to hell with it and figure it out by ear... I'll have it posted somewhere when I get it finished. Thank you though, help is much appreciated.

Hey. I'm new to this (duh), so bear with me. I live in East TN. I'm a big fan Prog, Death, Black, Doom, and Symphonic Metal. Yep...

Well that sucks...

So yeah, does anyone know where to find a decent score of the choir intro for "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy?" I have tried to figure it out by ear, but it's pretty fucking difficult... Obviously. Any ideas?
