Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

I hope you don't mind a little constructive criticism. Don't worry about the levels, and don't worry so much about mistakes. However, I can not stress enough how important it is to be in tune. You can have all the complicated riffs in the world, but if you ignore the most elemental of things and don't bother to make sure you are in tune, no one will want to hear your music.

It certainly sounds out of tune, sorry to say. I am very picky in that regards. At rehearsal, if someone is out of tune, I just stop playing, and wait for everyone to tune up properly. There is no excuse for being out of tune. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No worries mate, thanks for letting me know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Was it all the way through or just the first solo?...

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

I know the bits you mean. On the main riff when we go back to the open note on the 6th string I play it too hard bending it, and where the song stops and has the riff under the solos, well the other guitarist in the band cant remember that riff so he just makes it up lol.
Apart from that is it out of tune anywhere else?
Any other comments?
Thanks for this by the way mate

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

I wish someone else would give their 2 cents. I don't like being the one part pooper. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Actually it sounds like someone's guitar is a tad off on most of it. Do you have 2 guitarist or is it double tracked?

Ok Ill bite... fire the singer. Stat. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

The vocals are way too loud, even if he was half decent, they would still be too loud. Not trying to be a dick here, but you guys seem to have some talent yet go and ruin it with a horrible singer... thats whats so wrong with so many new bands now a days. Get someone who can acually sing if you want to stand out! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

Our singer can actually sing, he sings later on in the track... We wanted a singer that could match the brutality of the music (obviously not that track). I listen to a lot of death metal and thrash and think that clean singers dont sound right over heavy music. Only really like power metal for the technical side of things and less chessy power bands like Iced Earth of Nevermore get on my nerves after a couple of tracks.

Also Rob, You could have just said that you didnt like the vocals... Thanks for the talent comment though. The scream at the beginning is too loud in the mix but it was recorded separately and to say its only a rough mix so we're not too unhappy with it.

We have two guitarists and we had tuning problems all the time (old strings, hot garage, two tuners reading two different notes lol).

We'll get the demo done soon, more of the same vocals im afraid Rob! But less of the melodies, and less pop-tastic.

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

I listened, I laughed, I cried, I was rocked. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Far be it for me to judge, because I suck....but you asked so...

OK. First off, I am not a fan of the vocal style going on here. I can't listen to bands with vocals like that for more than 5 minutes. When he actually sang, I liked it.

I liked the whole song as far as the music went. Mix and all aside.

You guys should all share the same tuner for now, so the whole band is tuned the same. It wasn't that far off, but it is noticeable.

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

Cheers mate, we will do from now on lol. Glad you liked it musically :o]

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

I'll bet it will sound really good when it's in tune. Can't wait to hear it.

I second the idea of using the same tuner. Actually, when my band records, I tune both guitars and the bass myself, because I don't trust the other guys to tune properly. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

Like I said man, wasnt trying to be an ass! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Its just a little upsetting, to me anyway, when I start listening to a song that totally rocks, then the singer comes in and totally ruins it. Like CoB for example, their music rocks but they could have a different style singer and sound so much better. But thats whats popular these days I guess, Ill have to get with the times and learn to like it(which I dont think can happen to an extent), or just not listen.

Re: My Bands mp3 check it out

The first scream made me lol [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
The singing I would like much more if he added some edge to it, and more importantly, lost the puking sounds.
The Wah Solo reminded me of old Hammett work.

I dug it. I'd hit it
