What sounded odd to me is that drums pick up this more intense beat about half way through but the rest of the music doesn't reflect the change in intensity.. which makes me think either match the change with the music or don't have that faster drum beat because the drums sound more like a second thought in the background. They don't really have much impact on the music itself. The key change about 3/4 of the way through seems odd too. Apart from those things I really enjoyed it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I kno what u mean about the drums originally I had a heavier riff that I was going to put there but in the end i decided To try n keep the track mellow so I deleted my original idea n replaced it ... but forgot to replace that drum sequence with something more suddle and about the key changes it was partially experimental but also I didnt want the piece to sound depressing or boring If I were to have kept the first melody in for the whole duration it would have n i didnt want that so = ) = ) thanks ben cough (teach me how to shred one day ) Cough Cough You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think that your drums could sound bigger, you should experiment a bit with EQ, compressors and reverb to give more life to the rhythm section. The guitars sounds very cool and that last pattern with delay is very interesting... I would use it more and develop it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I too think the drums could be turned up a little. As Gab said, EQ'ing, compressing and reverb can bring more life to anything if used correctly. The main problem is that the samples in EZDrummer are already EQed and compressed to sound good and make is 'EZ' for the user. This means you don't get as much flexibility as you would in a program like Superior drummer. PS: I finished the song Caspian and Luna came on and I thought I'd say the octave riff is just awesome!

I guess I need to sit down with my pedal board n do some tweaking thanks for the advice QUOTE (Taka Perry @ Dec 12 2013, 04:03 AM) Hey, nice track here!
