Opeth Riff Thread - Part 3

i have a real-time analyzer in vst, but it seems like it uses alot of cpu power and its always like a second behind.. i dont know why.. i have a really good comp. its free, so ill put it on my site if you want.
 
If it works in real-time and is a second behind then your sound card either doesn't have ASIO drivers, or just isn't set to use them. Those drivers are pretty much the only thing that let you monitor in real-time when you digitally process sound.

You can just tell me the name of the analyser, if it's free. I'll just google it or something. Cheers.
 
Yeah, cheers, I found the thing. I just realized I had a real-time spectral analyzer in the Waves Platinum Bundle though. On top of that, Cubase has one that lets you see the average spectrum over a range, or a clip.

... I wonder where all the musicians on this forum went.
 
gaunhaver wtf@that piece of shit you call a recording......no, it was actually pretty good. I was kind of hoping you had squeezed the solo in there, but it was still good
 
I'm not even sure if this will work, but let's take a shot anyway.

This isn't entirely finished (may note that by the washy cymbals and shitty backing guitar). I'm gonna touch it up when I borrow my friend's acoustic and do the backing properly. As well as helping the clarity, I'm hoping it won't sound like someone is plucking strings spastically.
 
Very nice quality Moonlapse, good playing too. Too bad the bass is missing, it's really nice in that song. I'm going to lend my girlfriends bass again today, so maybe I could hook you up with some basstracks if you want.
 
Hooray, I just tried working with getting a semi-acceptable sound in cool edit pro using entirely software plugins for distortion, AND I DID IT ON part of the funeral portrait. I might program drums sometime, but that would accentuate my sloppy playing (I did 4 layers of rhythm guitar, bass, and the lead at the end in about 15 minutes :p).

PS THIS LINK MIGHT NOT WORK FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT IT SHOULD IN A FEW HOURS. MY SCHOOL SERVER HAS ISSUES SOMETIMES.

A bass track would be great. Fortunately, though I have a bass playing friend with a very decent set-up and I think we'd be able to manage recording the bass if it were needed. If you want to make the effort and play them though, that'd be great.

That file is in 147 BPM.

Wankerness, the file still isn't up, but I'll come back a bit later to listen.
 
wankerness, the track just came online. fiddle alot with amplitube, believe me, it is capable of much better sounds than that (provided that's what you're using). the best I've been able to achieve however are in that Enemy Within file. the benighted thing is Guitar Rig. it's all software-processed. try cutting some lows out of the sound, there is way too much bass.

Yeah, I used a combination of Amplitube and WARP VST, one left track in amplitube and one left track in WARP, and vice versa. Anyway, I have no idea how to get a decent distorted tone. THAT IS MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH GUITAR! Can you possibly give me some kind of approximation on how you achieved good sounds with amplitube?
 
Check out Andy Sneap's forum here on UM. There is a thread regarding 'Software Amp Simulating' or something. They speak alot about amplitube and a guy posted some presets, both for Amplitube and Warp VST. Happy hunting.

Several fuckups. Lots of stuff played incorrectly to begin with. No vocals. Midi sucks.

Verdict: Talks the talk, walks like a gimp.

Yay, trolling is so fun!

Brutal and Blunt, but true
