Dandelium - My band recordings! Symphonic Metal

[Erik Monsonis]

Hello!!

I'm new to this forum, so I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Erik Monsonís, I'm a 17 year-old Spanish symphonic metal composer and would like to show you all my band

So, here there are some songs for you to make some constructive criticism

I recorded all the tracks in my home-studio using my Line6 Tone Port UX1 and Drumkit From Hell samples, sequenced in FL Studio 5.

For the Orchestra I used East West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, and for the Choirs in Wait For Me, it was East West Symphonic Choirs + Wordbuilder.

The vocals on the Wait For Me track was made by me also

I've been recording for a year or so, so I can already improve a lot, with more experience you know, and with some constructive criticism

Thanks to everybody!!

Damn, this stuff is pretty cool. I'll let the more experienced guys comment, but I think that sometimes the orchestra is getting drowned by the guitars and drums. It seems like I hear the orchestra getting louder when there are no drums and guitars, almost like mix automation. But that could be my crappy computer speakers at work.

Thanks again!!
