I'm usually not in the habit of whoring out my band, but I'm so excited about what we recorded last night! All the cool people need to go to our MySpace and listen to Volkermord: www.myspace.com/apostasy. Feedback would be cool, but no making fun. 
yo!
Just got an early mix from my bands upcoming demo!
2 rhytm tracks were recorded with my horus hgs through my switchblade head, aswell as the shitty lead and the harmonies, then another 2 rhytm tracks was recorded with an lt ec1000 with emgs through my TSL100.. Where there's only one guitar it's horus> switchblade all the way! Smile
Tell me what you think!

Yeah...the drums aren't real. We've only recently started to discuss going through the annoyance of recording actual drums.It sounds good n solid, but the drums could be a little more creative at some parts, but it's still pretty good. I'm really diggin' The Red Pyramid.
Of course we always have the option of replacing the fake drums with actual drums once we figure out how to record them and have them sound decent, but I'm not sure when that's going to happen. Thanks for the compliments though.

Good stuff, the drums don't sound bad at all.
I'm sure i will get lynched here, but i personally think that programmed drums are a much better option most of the time than live drums. Just check out The Project Hate's "Armageddon March Eternal" for some of the best drum sounds ever. Of course, you have to have a fucking awesome idea of what you want them to sound like, but that stuff can really slay. So i guess i should say when done properly, programmed drums can be much better than real drums.

Wait... why is the cover of Fleshcrawl's "Made of Flesh" on the poster when it looks as though there's no Fleshcrawl playing?
Zach, I'm sorry, but I gotta do it.
Trust me, it hurts me more than it hurts you.There's 3 things that live drums have that drum machines don't: They lack dynamics, tone and authenticity. Drum machines just have a pulse coming from your computer speakers, but if you really want your drummer's flavor to come through on the recording, they can do it themselves with the tone of their own drums, 'cause aside from the fact that tehre's alot of stuff that a real drummer can do that a drum machine can't, like stronger accents, snare rolls, or alot of proggy stuff like polyrhythms. (Or at least they're harder to organize on a drum machine.)
I could go on, but I don't feel like it. I feel bad enough for lynching one of my best e-friends as it is.

Harris, i love you in the pooper, but you're pretty much wrong on all counts. I'll play you some project hate in NYC and you'll see. But things have changed a lot. The drum tones sound a lot better these days to the point where you can have really convincing drum sounds. And polyrhythms... well, like you said, that's more an issue of commitment than whether or not you "can" do it.
Nuances can also be programmed in. As long as you think like a drummer and don't just go for the straight beat, you can do some amazing stuff. I will say that this may be better for death metal than prog, but still the point remains that having a drum machine is sometimes easier.
Plus, programming in odd time sigs and polyrhythms is much easier than dealing with most real life drummers

I don't really have a preference concerning programmed or actual drums, but I'd just like to add that there have been various people who actually know a lot about recording/programming drums and other instruments who thought that our drums are the real thing. I know they're simple drumbeats, but it shows that, as Zach already pointed out, they could sound convincing if done correctly.
With that being said, when seeing a band live, I'd love for them to have a drummer. My band was drummerless for a long time (many years ago), and it really, really sucked for both us and the crowd. There's just not as much energy on stage without a drummer...

Agreed. TPH (again, my favorite example) i believe did use a live drummer, but i could be wrong. Now for their forthcoming album they will have a "real" drummer, so that should be interesting to see how it works. Lord K says it'll be great, so hopes are high.
Anyway, I think the drums in that recording don't sound bad at all.

Zach. Programmed drums? Gay. They're only permissible if you have some songs you want to get out and can't find a live drummer to play them. In that case, it's fine, but if you have a real drummer with the chops to put down a solid performance, real drums are irreplaceable.
Seriously, modern rock and metal are starting to disgust me. The drums sound... well, nothing like actual drum kits - no human drummer can play dynamics that level, and no human drummer would WANT to. The guitars sound like keyboards. Back off on the fucking Pentera compression. The bass sounds inhuman. I'm getting fucking tired of it. I'd like to hear people playing music.

Thankyou Jeff!!!
How anyone can compare a computer to a real human playing music is beyond me. My cousin and I have this argument all the time (he loves techno and trance
)
