Record some Opeth w/guitars part 3

[Scourge of Malice]

that was good mechanixx, i enjoyed singing along to it

 

[Scourge of Malice]

if i can find my fucking POD (god knows where it went) i will record a bunch of songs... but until then

 

[Mechanixx]

Thanks a lot mate..... I recorded it with my PODxt and my RR3

 

[Ermz]

I think you should get some pointers from Mr Niel on how to use the PODxt, Mechanixx. Your recording was good, but I think you can push your recorded tone that extra notch. Great stuff though.

 

[Mechanixx]

Mr Niel ?

Thanks for the nice words.

And, sure, I had my pod not long ago......

Do not let those bad comments you recieved in your original thread dissapoint you.

I thought that the instrumental side to your cover was excellent and the vocals were not too bad either, They definitely just need a little bit of work applied to them though.

I'm just wondering, what do you guys use to program drums? I have the Battery VST plug-in, but have no idea how to use it with ANY recording software.

I use a program called leafDrums2 and downloaded some better samples for it. It's not hard to use, but it's a bit time consuming, as it doesn't has a super-handy layout. When you're finished with your file/track, you can just export it to a WAV file and import it to Cool Edit Pro or the likings.

Well. First you make patterns, and then you put the patterns in order. That's the basic of Drum Programming.

[Mechanixx]

well, as for me, I'm way too lazy to make drums patterns...so I just use midi.... :crap:

Here's the solo to Harvest:

Note: the filename is a reference to an improvement upon my own version, not upon Opeth's, I wouldn't dare be that arrogant.

Sorry for the file size; converting to .wav would have completely destroyed the quality.

GOOD solos.

Yea thats good playing, but my god the file size. I mean it doesnt matter to me, but some people have hard time dling 11mb audio thats only 1 min long. SURELY theres something you can do.

 

[Ermz]

Yeah the filesize is quite nasty for something which is 1 minute, given that the recording quality itself doesn't exactly seem to be worth the size. But nonetheless, some great playing.

 

[Shadows Skulk]

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

I recorded it into GarageBand and added the reverb and echo there (I don't have many pedals), so that's probably the root of the problem. The original file was something like 30 MB; converting to .aif got it to where it is now,

I converted this one to .wav also (2.7 MB), for a surprisingly decent quality alternative (I thought it would be horrendous, but it's fine):
