Niel plays forest

Awesome job as usual....your vocals are getting better, and was that you or Jack doing clean vocals??? They were good as well. Awesome riffing as well, and how did you get those drums??? Didnt that take long to program???
 
What do you mean by dled the samples??? The patterns were already made out, or what??? Because you seem to be very good at programming drums, since those were like right on the money.....is there a place that you can get them already programmed out, or what do you mean by samples??? O, and those clean vocals went very nicely, therefore I think you should try singing clean a little as well in DIE. Definitely finish the song, the first parts rule.....
 
No no no, I mapped all that out. Shit, it'd be nice to d/l mapped out songs on drums. I meant the samples were d/led, like the kick drums and snares and cymbals and stuff. They are all mixed and matched from different sets.

Trust me, my singing is wretched. I have a pretty limited range, mostly higher sounding stuff (think John Frusciante...). Not very cool in metal, unless you wanna do like power metal...heh...Jack sings way, way better than me. At least I can gurgle though.

I think I might do the rest of the song...

Forest of October kicks ass.
 
yeh thats awesome, ur vox are kick ass and as is ur playing!
what programs do you use to record and what set up?? like do u plug into pedal them computer, etc etc. what about with vocals??

Hmmm, could you tell me how you did the drums? I'd like to know... Sites about it would be good too.

I use Fruity Loops 3.0 to map out drum tracks, export them to wav files into Cool Edit Pro 2.0, and then record everything else over the drum tracks in Cool Edit.

There is no secret or trick to working with Fruity Loops. It just takes time (lots and lots of time) to sit down and map out songs. I wish I had a real drum kit, or at least a trigger kit and a drum module, so I could just play and record instead of mapping the shit out. And as far as making the drums sound good, the key there is to have good samples. You can add little things like reverb and compression to samples in fruity loops, but I don't mess with that too much. My partner in crime JackDIE knows more about those sort of subtle little settings...

Where did you get the samples you used? I have fruity loops, but it didn't come with any drums that sound acceptable for METUHL if you know what I mean :P
