but I retracked the guitar for a tighter performance and remixed the drums for a punchier snare and a better overall balance. I think it sounds bloody brilliant, but I welcome any outside opinions I can get.
I put this in music and comp because I wrote it too, so any critiques you have in that department are appreciated too.

Oct 08, 2012 08:50 pm Sounds great. What do you do for guitar tone again? You use an amp simulator right? I have been thinking about picking up a VOX Tonelab EX my firend is selling.

Oct 08, 2012 08:58 pm youre gonna kill me but, the drums seem to lag in the heavy guitar bits. Did you record guitars to the drum track or a click? Maybe the guitars are a bit rushed is all there.
anything else i have is more opinion than anything really.
sounds good man.
Oct 08, 2012 09:36 pm Haha I kill nobody here. All input is good.
Ya I use pod farm a lot, but I think for this one I used this free one called the TSE x50

such a rad amp, all his plugins are sick.
I use his B.O.D for every bass track I lay down everytime.
Dematrix: The drums are programmed to the tempo of the track, so VERY quantized to the click. I DO hear it now that you mention it...that the guitars are rushed a bit. But I don't feel like opening this session for the hundredth time to change a timing issue lol. I'm gonna leave it cuz I'm lazy.
Glad you guys like it.
Oct 08, 2012 09:42 pm More overheadsssss? Parallel compress to wash them out?
At 1:00 and 3:18 I would push some kind of crushed pumpy drum room sound eg: @58s
2:50 feels like it could use another gat harmony?
Sounds great though! Just little bits I heard.

Oct 10, 2012 04:26 pm Whatever sound you use at the very beginning is really cool. I also really like the transitions. Nice piece. The little pause at 3:18 was incredibly dope, I know it seems like a little thing, but it's the little things that give a track character. Overall, I think it sounds awesome.
Oct 19, 2012 10:13 pm Yeah VERY NICE! I have to agree with the 3:18 break that kicked ***. It kind of left me with an anticipation for it to happen again.....but it didn't. And I think that was good...as I laugh at this description.
