Sounds great. Nice playing too.

 

[lekteri]

Thanks!

Cool track Vicious!
Beginning sounds like Symphony X. Then it turns into Dream Theater.

 

[Vicioushead]

haha...yeah, I have those influences for sure. When I post the full track you'll see it's quite a bit darker than their stuff though (hopefully!). Can you talk about how you created this tone? Any EQ or compression used? I'm very new to this recording thing and am trying to learn as much as possible.

 

[lekteri]

Sonar X1, ProChannel EQ
80hz hipass and 10khz lowpass filters. Wide notch at 400hz.

 

[lekteri]

Moved 400hz cut to 317hz and made it -2db deeper.

I think that right speaker sounds better for this song.
