Post some clips of your playing

[ShadowOfDeath]

Mind you this isn't anything talented, but if you like Black Metal you may like this recording

I plan to have this song finished if i can get some good vocals like i had on that one.

I don't have much talent as a guitarist since i can't do good solos, i have problems learning how to solo So i rather experiment, the clip above isn't anything i did while experimenting, just some black metal work i've done. I might show my guitar work in something else been thinking about it

 

[Wound]

good guitar solo's + black metal = not black metal

do some solo's like ulver's natten's madrigal... hell yeah... insane stuff

 

[ShadowOfDeath]

i don't intend to make black metal with solos...i just wish i could solo in general

i keep my black metal playing simple...so it doesn't express my full guitar talent, which isn't anywhere near good compared to any of you here

Wow... there's some outstanding talent in this thread. I'm a bit reluctant to post But hey, might as well join in... this stuff's out there for everyone to hear anyway. I've got two songs online that I think I'm most proud of, from a guitar playing standpoint:

Release Your Dreams

That one is a bit older, so the production isn't that nice, but it's not bad I guess. Need to redo it one of these days, as it's one of my favorites.

Seismonic Repercussions of Mayhemistic Mellowness

This is my latest song. I apologize in advance... it's an 11 minute long epic, so those of you on slow connections may want to pass on this one. The "interesting" guitar stuff doesn't start until about halfway through the song.

Comments and opinions are most welcome!

ADS - That fucking SMOKES man...and very well engineered I might add as well. Mind if I asked what you used to record it? (PC based, workstation, studio etc?)

Really cool work dude....

Whoa... thanks, man! I appreciate the compliment! One of the best to date, I think Glad yer diggin my stuff. I'll hopefully have lots more before too long.

As far as how I record... to plagiarize my web site a bit:

The drums and keyboard stuff I write using a Roland XP-30 sequenced though Cakewalk's SONAR 3 on my PC. The audio tracks go into SONAR after passing through a POD 2.0, a Studio Twin effects unit, and/or a couple old Boss pedals (nowadays though, with the exception of the POD, most of the effects I use are SONAR plugins). Everything is mixed down in SONAR, and then brought into Soundforge for some final tweaking and converting to mp3.

My computer has a Soundblaster Augidy ZS Platinum audio card, which has MIDI in/out, three analog inputs and digital in/out (plus some other crap). The guitar stuff, going through the POD, connects to the computer through the Aux-in2, and the keyboard stuff connects through the digital-in via a TASCAM 16 track digitial mixer. This setup keeps the guitar separate from everything else, making recording pretty easy. All I do is set the "recording" input in Windows (XP) to Aux-in2, and then record all the guitar stuff I want (and vocals the same way on the Line-in2 input). Then, once I'm ready to create the master wave file, I just create a master track in SONAR, and set Windows to record "What you hear"... and it records everything together onto one track. From there, I can splice/edit/tweak as necessary, and export the track in any format I want. It's really a nice setup... extremely easy and quite versatile.

I'm currently working on some "official" A Different Sun music... whole songs with vocals and stuff, with my sights set on having a complete CD done before this year is up. Remastered versions of "Seismonic..." and "Release..." will both be on that CD, with those two probably being the only instrumentals. Those two songs are more "artistic variation" type pieces. ADS's music, in general, is like... ummm... well... I dunno. It's like... epic symphonic blackgothdeathcheesemetal. Or something similar

Fucking awesome dude...I have a Cubase 2.0 studio set up at my place...still learning the finer points of recording and production...but looking to have an instrumental CD out by the middle of next year hopefully...I have some more to learn on the engineering side first, but I guess it will come with trial and error...

Let me know when you have more stuff laid down man...I'm looking forward to it big time...

I just got a new PC and the speakers suck for mixing, they are flat as fudge... other than that it should be alright though.

 

[kosh]

Here is the music for a teaser for our next cd. Nothing wild, recorded rather quickly, so some parts got a bit muddy. Also my bass unfotunately decided to quit cooperating with my computer, but I'll have that fixed in a while.

+++Teaser+++

 

[Jeffy]

kosh, that Time 112 is amazing. How do you go about writing stuff like that? It sounds very very good. The orchestration is a bit too happy in some parts for my tastes, but that's just me. I really like what you're doing though keep it up and make an album!

 

[ADS]

I agree with Jeffy... very cool! ...especially starting around 112. Excellent orchestration. But actually, the thing I like most about that teaser is the drumwork! I really dig the drumming... awesome!

~Robert

 

[kosh]

How do you go about writing stuff like that?

Hmm, first only sometimes. And when than rather quick. It's strange sometimes you sit in front of computer for weeks, and get nothing done. And sometimes it just flows.
Generally I just try to let the music sound as it sounds in my mind.

If you want to see the video of the trailer, download here (3 MB, right-click, "Save as...")

Here's a little
Thrasher, fast, short, consequently "d".
The cool thing about it is that the guitars are simulated by a freeware guitar VSTi called "Guitar Suite" including a JCM 900, Fender Twin, Tube Screamer and various other stompboxes.
If you like the sound check out SimulAnalog to get the pack (ca. 300Kb (!)).

Here's a clip of me playing bass (every sound on the recording other than drum machine is made by my bass)

Here's me wanking on guitar. This is just a random "wank," NOT anything resembling a song.

[Wound]

Hey, thanks..

I do have one demo out.. that is the only song really like that though.. if you want a copy e-mail me your address and i will send it.. free of course..if you are in a band and have a demo i would love to trade also... trading black metal is cool...

anyway, more songs from that cd are on the website... www.wickedblight.c-tears.com just go under "Gale" and there are some songs up.. I'm also in Wicked Blight, and Bog Imp, the other is my friends...

and there's a new 'Gale' cd in the works.. here's the song...

http://www.wickedblight.c-tears.com/rotn%20Layer-3.wav

kenosha, right under milwaukee and racine.

Their are some good melodic death metal bands here like Panic Effect, Brutal Forbid, Fatal Error, and Premonition. But their are more hardcore nu metal and rap metal fagets here.. some of the hardcore here is good but all that rap metal bullshit needs to get the fuck out of here.

 

[Wound]

I'm moving to milwaukee in a month and a half. east side... maybe we can hang out if it's not too far (around 30 minute drive I assume?)

 

[DeFy]

exactly 30 minutes to get into milwaukee from where i live yea.
