Give me harsh critism on folk-metal please.

Just a rough draft I'm working on. The beginning is kind of boring because theres no vocals on it. Do I need to turn down the volume on the electric guitars? Should I get rid of the song and start over with a better tin whistle line?

Also panning and what not. Maybe I shouldn't have doubled the tin-whistles. Fuck, I don't know.

If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?

Edit-Fuck it, I forgot I can't embed on this forum. If anyone cares enough to hear it, I just made a blog for it.

is it just me or does the tin sound out of tune with the rest on the music? and this is just me, but i would get rid of the kick drum in the beginning and have the music slowly fade on or kind of a reverse reverb deal when the whole thing actually starts up that way it flows better and isin't so abrupt.


coming along nicely though, did you record it differently? it sounds much more clear then the stuff you sent me a long time ago.

Thank you! I've been trying to sound more clear. It still needs bass. I think the reason is I was actually playing two tin whistles, I need to just use one I realize.

Not sure what you mean by the flow thing though...I was barred out when I made this.

EDIT: i listened again and it's not as abrupt as i thought. but yeah seems like having two tin whistles going had a kind of pulse width modulation effect. happens all the time on my analog keyboard when i combine two saw waves with the exact same setting.

It's sloppy as hell now but when I make it better you're always free to put keys where you please.

what DAW did you use to record? or do you not use a comp?

Guitar amp is built in the recorder along with drums. Tin whistles and vocals I do through the Shure 58 plugged into the recorder.

Then I either do a mixdown on the recorder, or move all the tracks to my desktop separately and use Audacity to mix.

I see what you mean about the intro being too abrupt, I'm going to work on it. I need something else in there so it doesn't sound too plain. The way I figure it'd work is I don't start singing until the Tin Whistle stops the first time. Then Death Vocals when the whistle stops over the heavy part, then I have a few riff ideas from there.

ah ok, just send me the files and the audacity saved file when ever, and ill try to do something, but im really not good at song writing. my music theory is practically 0.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

As is mine. It's better that way.
