Hi! As some of You Already now I started to make order with the demo material I've prepared before. I'm doing improvements on different fields - mix and arrange.
Here is a little presentation of "almost album" version of my original song - Odysseus Quest. I still need to make some work with drums (it really takes a hell out of time to draw all the dynamics etc. I'll be also fixing some parts in solo guitar. But it will all sound like this: https://soundcloud.com/dariuswave/odysseus-quest-2014-work-in-progress |

Man,
It can be a super detailed job drawing in all the intensity values for drums, but it really makes the difference. I was just listening to a track on my laptop with the volume pretty low and my buddy next to me said "why do sampled ride cymbals and hi hats sound SO BAD?". I said "it's not that they sound bad, its just they are all at the same velocity the whole time. Probably 100%". What's your strategy for getting a good sampled drum sound? What has worked really well for me is to start everything at about 85% (depending on what the samples are sounding like) and just going through and making sure the notes aren't consistently the same values and then making the BIG hits higher velocities. (Air drumming is key in my book) Sounds great! QUOTE (Darius Wave @ May 4 2014, 05:02 PM)  Hi! As some of You Already now I started to make order with the demo material I've prepared before.

What a killer track Darius! I love the composition and your playing. I like the fact that you can create uncommon melodies and phrases and keep providing tasty, easy to hear music. This is not something that many guitarists / musicians can do. I think that recording your solo album is an excellent idea. I know that there is still work to do with drums, I hope that you work them enough to give more life to the track. I honestly would recommend you to go for a real drummer, but if this is not an option, dedicate time to make those drums sound real and this will be an epic album.
Keep rocking my friend! -------------------- My lessons

VERY promising Darius. It's unpredictable, dynamic, crazy and melodic - yet still sounds like a song. Well done!

Great and interesting track - melodically, rhythmically, etc.
You're a fantastic player. I too feel that with 'live' players you can set yourself apart from the huge morass of fusion/metal guitar music that's out there. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Darius Wave @ May 5 2014, 09:45 AM) Thank You guys! Yeah...working with real people instead of machines is something absolutely different. I will reconsider this...of course depending on the budget...  You know...I was also thinking about a budget, long distance solution - buying myself electronic drums to my home studio. Not for me playing but to invite drummers friends to record the track via VST. A have some cool drummers within friends but none of has the ability to record drums at home. This sounds good Darius. Getting electronic drums to invite drummers is a very cool idea and it would give your tracks a more natural/human feeling. -------------------- My lessons
