Hi guys!
I haven't made a new song for a long time so right now I'm experimenting and trying to make something which would be a mix of neoclassical and modern metal approach.  Sounds weird but I haven't heard anything like this before so I wanted to give it a shot  Here's the first version - what I made so far. The middle section only contains orchestration and drums, I'll fill the middle section with some neoclassical-inspired lead guitar parts later, right now there's just one little solo in the beginning. As you will probably notice, I took use of the multiple-guitar panning (maybe even overused it? in one part there's four guitars there stacked ) in the last part, but also in the intro solo.I'm also not sure about the drums right after the intro solo - it sounds a bit too flashy, maybe I'll put a simpler approach there... It is supposed to have fast guitar parts to serve as a transition to the double-kick theme (the middle part). The song's far from complete, it will be longer - I'll continue composing after the heavy part... What do you think? Please point out any flaws you encounter, I'm here to learn  Any feedback would be highly appreciated, thanks a lot! http://soundcloud.com/dino-trnka/dino-trnka-new-song This post has been edited by Dinaga: May 27 2012, 06:57 PM |

QUOTE I liked when the heavy part kicked in \m/ But I don't know what effect did you try to do in the beginning but to me it sounded like a mosquito But really liked this. Something different coming from GMC people -Ville- Thanks a lot!! I am very glad you like it so far! Haha, I didn't use any particular effect at the beginning, just some delay, combined with two guitars/mosquitos alternating from the left and right speaker But it was way too loud, now I reduced the volume of those slides and it sounds less like an animal (although it is still pretty wicked )QUOTE Sounds good Dino !! I would just keep going with it and see how it progresses and let yourself be inspired. I liked all of it, including the drums and orchestrated section. For the heavy part, I think it is a bit overkill with all the guitar tracks.. if you do just 2 tracks panned L & R you'll probably prefer and it you stand a better chance of getting the riffs to sound tighter because there's less guitars. Also, chop off the excess bass frequencies too as they're very boomy when you get on the palm muting Hi-pass filter should take care of that. Ben, thanks a lot! I will continue with this, I already have some ideas so we'll see how it will turn up Your comment about cutting the bass is golden, my friend! I did what you said and now it sounds much tighter and chuga-chuga-ier! Thanks a LOT my friend!In fact, I'm so excited right now that I will post an mp3 so you can all hear the big difference made by hi-pass filter Ben advised me. I am new in music production, but if someone else can learn with me, why not? Maybe it will help someone The first part is with excess bass (the first version which I posted in the song above), and the second part is with the filter. The difference is obvious Here it is: http://soundcloud.com/dino-trnka/chuga-chuga QUOTE Wow D-man, it is great! You are very talented. I can't wait to see how it progresses and turns into a whole piece but it definitely looks like it will be a very nice musical journey Keep it up man, you rock! Mate, I'm really humbled with those words. Thank you a lot for the support, it really means a lot to me

I like the concept of this piece of music man. You are combing modern riffs with neoclassical vibes in a very original way. By now I don't have anything to comment excepting that the panned guitars at the beginning sound a bit too unnatural to me, it confuses a bit.

I created the second half of the song.
I'm guessing the second half will sound a bit surprising to you because it's much different than the first half - I wanted to create the tension with the neoclassical theme and the heavy rhythm part and then create a tension-releasing relaxed part and a happy ending. That's why I created a transition from the heavy part to a mixolydian soloing, continuing with some pentatonics and finally finishing with a D major riff.I don't know if this makes any sense at all, so I'll let you decide Next step is adding solos over the neoclassical parts in the beginning. http://soundcloud.com/dino-trnka/dino-trnka-new-song-v2 This post has been edited by Dinaga: May 30 2012, 12:42 AM |

I love the second part - very cool ! You're right about the tension release thing, it does have that effect !

And now that you dropped volume on the "mosquito" lick (at the beginning) it sounds better But that heavy part at 1:26 sounds to me very strange. The rhythm guitars sound hollow and thin...first that came to my mind that you have accidental left dry signal on ?? In the end rhythm sound is ok but could be better Can I ask which program you use to make the sounds ? Cheers !! |

This is almost like Apocalyptica on guitar!
 I enjoyed the track. I see where WeePee is claiming that its hollow and thin. I can tell you tossed on the HP filter. But my ears may be lying to me but you don't have a bass track do you? That could be a big reason why it doesn't have that nice added low to make it sound fuller possibly. -------------------- Guitars:

Mate, I like where this is going, but for the riffage, I think it's time you experimented with lower tuning
what do you think?
