EP out, feedback? (Axefx ultra, Metal Foundry, Instrumental)

[TheRealSam]

Hey guys! Well here it is, I finally released my first instrumental EP and would like some feeback, both music and production wise. Feel free to say anything, what you liked or didn't like, any criticism is welcomed!

Here's the link: http://samdhyde.bandcamp.com/

The intro sounds like a film soundtrack, awesome! it might me be just my fucked up ears but one or two notes sound out of tune on the guitar in the intro?

 

[TheRealSam]

Hm, strange, I'm going to be rude but I hope it's your ears ahah, didn't sound out of tune when I recorded/mixed it, but that might be because mine got used to hear it that way :/
Thanks for the feedback!!

 

[TheRealSam]

Oh, and by the way, if you guys want to download it for free, just put 0$ in the buy it now section

Hi, I hear the same out of tune notes in the intro, but it's not disturbing. They add a certain color, and I won't change that in any way.
Distorded guitars are sometimes a tiny tiny bit too loud for me.
Bass is awesome.
I'm on the 4th track atm, I'll get back here later for a more artistic point of view

 

[TheRealSam]

Thanks a lot man, was a bit worried about the bass ahah, glad you liked it

 

[mrshinodax]

awesome stuff! Just download the EP. I like the guitar tone, djenty as hell. Btw what snare did you used in MF? I can't seem to find one that I really like. =D

 

[captainboom]

After listening to the whole album, I can say that you did a really nice job.
I prefer the second half of it, from the 5th track. The 5th and 6th are great. But the last one ...... holy shit .... well .... I like this one !

 

[thefalloftheheretic]

Holy fuck me dude, this is fantastic. As I am a huge Orwell fan, I was immediately drawn to "War Is Peace...", and I have to say, it's fucking excellent.

 

[TheRealSam]

Thanks a lot guys, it really means a lot to me :') !
mrshinodax: ahah snare and kick aren't from MF actually, but from one of Joey Sturgis's pack ^^

captainboom: did you like it? Or the contrary? ^^ I know it's truly different from the others in terms of style ahah, I just wanted to do something different

thefalloftheheretic: thanks! ^^ yeah this one was supposed to have vocals, and I thought that this particular sentence fit perfectly with the overall mood of the song.

 

[captainboom]

Yeah man ! Sure I liked it a lot. I just said I prefer the second half but the whole album is great !
And my favorite for sure is the last one. Maybe I wasn't clear enough
Well done, once again

 

[TheRealSam]

Ahah no problem, glad you liked it!!

 

[mrshinodax]

Ahh.. No wonder it sounded differently from those in MF. I was actually expecting to hear those earlier songs you made in this album. Anyway well done once again!

 

[TheRealSam]

Earlier songs? ^^ Yet I know what you mean about the MF snares, hard to find one which sound nice naturally. I tend to use the Nir-Z from the Avatar kit when I want to change my sound a bit ^^

Hey guys, sorry to bump this thread, I just made a playthrough for the song "Piercing Through My Chest, Infesting My Lungs", and I also uploaded the tabs for the whole EP, if you wanna have a look: http://www.2shared.com/file/cWYCnEnJ/EP_tabs.html

 

[osum]

I dig it. Musically and soundwise --> sound fits the style. Well done.

And great you share the tabs, I enjoy reading other peoples GP files, it's sometimes very intersting to listen to the music and see how it is played

 

[TheRealSam]

Ahah thanks! Well they're not 100% accurate but I most of the tab tab my songs before I record them, just to make sure that I never forget how to play them ^^ so it should be pretty close to how I actually play.

 

[foffe88]

Well that was awesome to say the least!!

 

[TheRealSam]

Thanks a lot! I truly appreciate that
