Interesting riff.... very old school. I dig it. The guitar sound is pretty cool too. Very grindy. The bass sounds like it could use new strings, tho


Drums.... well, they sound a little mechanical. DFH?

Then again, it's a pretty low res Mp3, it's hard to hear exactly what's going on.

Try re-encoding with LameFE... you can get it here:

Lame is a variable bit-rate mp3 encoder, I use it almost exclusively. It's a great way to balance quality with file size.

Tell me please-what i may change in drums?

You are right-its DFH
kick and snare are mr. Sneap's

I wanna to record my new own album in prog death style
( like Swano_Soilwork_Opeth style)
My constant pain are drum sound-i can't make good sound from DFH...

Very good sound, what amp do you use?

 

[Lefthander]

Tachy
thanx!

Its a warp

Setup:
guitar ESP-boss metal zone-line in comp-tonn of eq and WARP

Oznibus-it seems that LAMEFE add some high freq huh???

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Much improvement. You still might want to play around with LameFE, try setting your values for maximum bitrate for 320, and your minimum to 224. That, and make sure you're outputting to mp3!


As for the drums, well, the snare is a dead giveaway... especially on the rolls. DFH has "left hand, right hand" samples whereas it's kind of obvious your sample doesn't. Make sure you're using alternating hands on the toms as well.
Above all, randomize the velocitites of the individual hits (cymbals too). Humans don't play the same hit strengths on every shot.

BTW, I'm really liking the guitars in the new file.

Thank you for such good programm and for the cool advice!

How you think-did i add the high frequencies in a guitar sound more than normal?
