[BONES]

The only way to listen to metal! Way UP!
Keep rockin it this is GOLD!

[Acoustica]

I love the clarity and clean sound you have here! Experimenting is such fun!
It would be nice to see a list of gear and equipment/software.
I personally would love to garner some insight as to how you get a sound like that!
I am running hardware for all the processes and at 96Khz sampling it starts to boggle me..
Love the piece! Very soothing!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Cheers man. Equipment used:

Washburn acoustic electric, recorded by a shure sm 58 mic with the mesh ball removed, that was plugged into my pod x3 live.

Same with the vocals. The acoustic leads were recorded from the same guitar, plugged directly into my pod x3 live.

The electric guitar was my kids' fender guitar as his the only other guitar in the house that is in standard tuning ( outside of my acoustic). All my guitars are in b and or c. This was also plugged into the pod x3 live.

The pod is USB'd into a computer running xp and recorded directly into cool edit pro. Nothing else.

Cheers for the listen and review!

[She Said No Sauce]

I like the sound and would have liked to have the words to follow.
But, not a big thing! The mixing could have been better! But, then again I'm new to this as well and have had my issues with mixing as well!
It's just fun to write and put stuff together and hear it as you wanted it to sound!
So, don't worry what others want it to sound like, make it what you want it to sound like!
I learned the hard way and it is not a good way to learn!
But hopefully many people can learn from my errors and indiscretions!
Good piece... JQ

[Evolution Part 3 (Rough WiP)]

Really love the sound of the bass!!!
What gear are you running?
It's hard to get that stinginess on bass notes that you get... I take it that your p/us are a big plus in this!
Nice piece. . period!

Metallica1136 responds:

Thanks man, I'm really glad you like it! I have an Ibanez Soundgear SR 500 bass, the strings were pretty much brand new when I recorded this. I used Guitar Rig 5 as the VST for the bass amp, I don't remember which preset exactly though. Thanks for checking it out!

[Remedy]

WOW!!! Sounds like my divorce! LOL.....
This would really POP if you had some really snappy and sharp drums in there with a tight ass bass pattern!
Your vocs are AWESOME!
Replace some of those keys with hard core guitar chops and BOOM!
A classic!

Feel your hurt went through this in '97....Still alive and makin waves!

[Wonder C*nt!]

HOLY S**T!!!! Man, I thought you were singing about my ex old lady...for a sec..lol
Damn! if that's not pushing the envelope here!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Adventure Time! "Oh Fionna"]

Is this a bit of a poke back at that movie.. where "Scotti Dosen't Know!"
If it is and I believe the girls name was Fionna .. very cool come back!
But aside from that.. A very good sounding piece!
BRAVO!!!!

[I Like Dinosaurs]

That was some super serial shit sir!!!
The growl was as good if not better than some of the shit on new grounds.. because I could hear the words!
What did you use for the rest of the song...other than the new shiny guitar strings!

JDawg00100 responds:

I used my Ibanez Xiphos XPT700 with a line 6 UX1 Toneport. Ezdrummer for the drums and all in Reaper.

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the listen! :D

[I Tune For You (Toby Tyball)]

Dude..... This is like Interactive novel type shit!
Have you thought about doing that?
A novel that has an actual life of it's own in the aural world while being stuck in the literal world!
Probably a first!!!!
It could use the "eye tracking" tech to guide the music to where the reader is...etc.
Still, a very nice piece!

cartoonistmusician responds:

Thanks! :) Ha, no I don't think I ever thought of that. That would be really interesting though. :D
