    Original Melodic Death Song - Parody of Existence

    This recording features drum tracks engineered by me about 15 years ago at university. I had no idea what I was doing when I put up the mics. Recently the lead guitarist the vocalist and I completed the song. Guitars going into Bias Amp and the vocals are Rode NT1A with the UA Solo 610 pre.

    Sounds pretty sweet to me but I don't like the feel that it's recorded to a click, the 2nd half sounds really cool tight but I'd love that intro to be really loose. Cool track man!

    First time recording in like 4 years. New Rig, New DAW, New everything basically.

    cool tight riffing, yeah I think the bass could use a top end clack sort of sound and less flub

    To Live is to Die - melodic bridge and solo arranged for one guitar

    I think this section of music is Metallica's finest moment. Here is my take on a one man arrangement of the bridge and solo sections played on an all solid wood Cordoba C9. You can download the tab here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i3jerk5xk92zlcd/to_live_is_to_die.pdf/file

    Nothing Else Majors - Major key Metallica Cover with tabs/notation linked

    Confide in me by Kylie Minogue. It's dark as hell. I'm not sure if it's the dark melodies or Minogue's soft core porn video clip but this one stuck in my mind ever since I was about 10. You can download the notation for free here...

    Nothing Else Majors - Major key Metallica Cover with tabs/notation linked

    Thanks for the kind words! I plan to keep making arrangements but don't want to be a douche and make dozens of threads so here is another arrangement, Eleanor Rigby. One of the Beatles most metal songs IMO. Notation here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/z7jxlv75jyhb2kk/Eleanor_Rigby-guitar.pdf/file

    TSE x50 metal mixing +(settings)

    Sounds good in the mix but I really think there are better options out there now. You may be such a good mixer you can make everything sound good and would sound even better with something else

    Mercuriall Audio "ReAxis"

    Yeah this is great, it is actually hard to make it shrill. That was my original confusion, I'm so used to shrill amp sims this was very strange at first. Only issue I am experiencing is the volume drop outs being to frequent to really test. I want to play into the setting, double track, add...
