[Erik Monsonis]

Let's see what do you guys think about this:

Same shit as always, SD2, LeXTAC, s-preshigh, EWQLSO, LASS, pitch shifted guitar for bass, POD Farm 2...

Cheers!

 

[Executorg]

Nice tight sound.

What you use for pitch shifting? Sounds cool.

 

[I_Am_The_Fury]

Really kool shit.

 

[-Loco-]

I don't think that riff really needs F sharp. Guitars a bit scooped too, impressed that it's pitched guitars for bass though.

 

[AudioPhile777]

I'm really digging that snare. What is it? Willing to share it (if it's not part of a commercial product)?

 

[fuge86]

awesome dude!
don't ever tune it higher

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Half the time the fundamental and lower harmonics on the low note are almost inaudible, so it almost feels like I'm listening to just natural harmonics on the low note Cool music though dude, and the tone is still cool, just needs to be adjusted to work with the lower tuning maybe...

EDIT: Actually nevermind, this second section is unbelievably awesome with those low F# pedal tones Guess it's just that the palm mutes feel really nasally in the first half IMO

 

[Jaymz]

Not a huge fan of the uber low tuned stuff but this is kickass, love that second riff!!! The synths there are very Scar Symmetry esque, I assume thats the EWQLSO?

 

[fizzinbizzin]

what is pitch shifted guitar for bass? Cool start for a song i like it.

 

[Erkan]

Erik, this sounds like how I imagine the perfect pair of tits of the universe sounding when they are repeatedly rubbed in my face. In other words, it sounds sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Still the same Caparison guitar?

 

[Mago]

I don't think that you need to tune so low tbh, but it sounds cool I admit !

 

[Keregioz]

I like the music, especially the second part. Further proof that synths make anything sound better.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Wow..this has a very unique character, when the synth begins. It sounds like Godzilla is walking zigzag. Fucking brutal sound!

 

[CatharsisStudios]

get the fuck off my server LOL jk <3 souuunds sick

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Thanks guys!

I used ReaPitch (Elastique Pro) to tune an octave down the guitar for the bass and for the F# parts (my Caparison is in Drop B tuning)
Snare: Superior 2.0 Black Beauty + Nir Z Custom blend (50%)

Cheers!

 

[Harry Hughes]

Pretty cool! That snare really drives the mix, I dig it

 

[Erik Monsonis]

A bit more polished mix, added bridges and chorus.

[Mago]

the first change to the brigde sounds a bit strange imo
but the variations of the chorus are really beautiful

 

[Triscore]

Sound very good man.

I like the kick drum, and the snare is good too, maybe with a more bit reverb, better.

The guitar sound I think should be more present in the mix, is a little low, and the EQ can modified a bit, but is only my taste

anyway, very good work as usual

Cheers

Tris.

Holy shit, fast-forward Gotta say, I think I preferred it at the slower tempo! Great stuff though man, and for pitch shifting it sounds damn solid
