Metal Songs
Silent - here's one of mine. it sounds fine on my pc, but crap when played on my hi-fi. i need to learn how to properly mix and master recordings. a lot of the parts in this song was lifted from various songs coz i lack the creativity
Filtered Sense - an old song. crap sound... but i loved the drum beats. sadly i lost the fruityloops file and have no time to re-create it. forgive the fret-wanking.
Fearful Solution - another old song, remade. No solos, coz i'm trying to focus on the overall sound. i think this is the best sounding song i have ever made. heavy guitars, heavy drums.
Metal modD Pants - A Song I recorded for the 3rd Improvisation Challenge.

Electronica
A Japanese Dream - my first electronica song... i used Acid Pro 4, and the vocals were taken from some japanese language learning site.
Jewel - Foolish Games (modD remix) - i chose this song to try out the Vocal Extractor function in Adobe Audition, using the 'Acapella' preset.
The Resort - cool dance song
Running Away - Trance all the way!
Travelling Back - this time, it's a house song

Untitled - The song's about memories at how thing started in my life. Sparkled and brighten up like never before. A little bit of happiness left inside me that i wanted to let her know. Up until now, i can't find a word to carve a word for this song, because i was left speechless. And yes, it will be rerecorded with my friends as a band soon.Hopefully smile.gif Hope you'll enjoy this song as much as i do, the song in my life i ever composed. Cheers.
People - The second song I've ever composed, i felt that this expressed my inner thought of what my life are to be, journeys with different people, environment around, changing rapidly, which we may never predict what's to come next, who come or who go. It even feels weird when i think my life's like an RPG game, with experience points to level up myself, to reach different stages and levels. but it is just weird, just weird. Hope you'll enjoy it.
Ache - Most emotional song I've ever written, deep within myself, a pain that can't be described upon words. Words and the melody just came out of my mind at the middle of the night in a dark gloomy room of mine. But it is something that I could dig it down inside and bring it out from myself. A pain that can't seem to be healed by anything. And yes, I've determined that I'll even rerecord this song again, with a band. Hope that you feel what I feel, peace.

err.. broken link?

i've changed the link so that it connects through ftp. should be okay now...

nice stuffs dude, u played all the instruments (drum, bass and guitar)? .... how many guitar u use for that track...

dude,
very2 nice.
the guitar and drum are sweet.
and the quality is soooo good.

how you record all the gears?
tell us more

thanks!

for the drums and bass tracks, i used fruityloops producer. you can get ultra-realistic sounds with that software. with some more tweaks, i could make it sound purely human!

i exported the drums n bass parts into .wav files and mixed it all in Adobe Audition, which is formerly Cooledit Pro. then i recorded the guitar parts.

the rythm guitars were recorded in seperately for left and right tracks. recording in stereo makes it sound so much 'bigger'. i used both my epiphone les paul and ibanez rg to get that different types of tone for each left and right track.

the solo was sh!t alright, but i'm kinda satisfied with the sound. one tip: for solos, don't use too much gain or you'll get screeching trebly sound, unless you actually wanna make it sound like Pantera's solos.

now, how do i get the all the instruments to sing together? what should i improve? jacking up the bass level? drums?

dloading fruityloops producer now
dude,u gotta teach me how to use it i'm a noob
seriously,ur song sounds very2 good

i don't have FTP access here (company security ?)... could you upload it with yousendit too ?

www.yousendit.com

i'm planning to work on fruity loops this week end, i hope it's not too hard to play around with !
I'm gonna upload a track too...

Pix: i've put up the link for YouSendIt in the 1st post

The drums some alright imo! By adding wee bit of Overdrive and Reverb should humanize the track futher more, I think (And some compressing as well? XD).

The call-and-respond solo sounds pretty cool IMO! The rhythm parts are great, just a little too soft. Well my verdict, great track! Keep the good work up!

Oh yeah, what equipment did ya use for the guitars?

aaaahh ! the forum swallowed my post, but never actually displayed it...

so summary : negative points only (which are more interesting, and you just assume everything else not mentionned there is super good )

- the snare sound (is it ? the flat drum which sounds like "PAH PAH PAH") is way too synthetic, especially when it's been hit quickly many times. I think it's over-mixed, and maybe not enough reverb on it (or disto ?) (or both ?)

- the guitar solo are not confident enough. hard to describe, but it's like the rythm is microscopically out, and the fingers are not pressing the strings consistently. I don't know if I'm clear... it's more like a feeling than an actual fact you see

All the rest is good (drums, bass, rythm guitars, compo), it's all perfectly enjoyable !! And don't ever tell us you're not creative... that's being rather modest

thx guys! (or girls???)

led_zep_freak: the guitars used were an Ibanez RG470, Epi Leps Paul Gothic, plugged into my Zoom GFX-8.

pix: yeah, i wasn't really happy with the snare sound. i tried looking for a fatter sound, but couldn't find one so i settled on this one. i should've humanized the drum tracks more, like offsetting the beats and volume on random beats a bit, but a bit malas i'd say hehe...

about the guitar solo, i did about 8-10 takes so i probably was feeling a bit tensed coz my clumsy fingers kept making mistakes here n there. what you heard was me try to be too careful with my fingerings, resulting in a stiff solo. no tremolos etc...

thanks for the ego-stroking compliments and the building criticisms... i'll definitely post more of my songs for you to nitpick!

dude,
can teach me how u make the drum and bass stuff??
i already have a Fruityloops installed.

really need a help from a pro like you

Wowwwwwwwwww... this is great.. nice rock !!!! chun !!!
add some vocal !!! whould be perfect !!!!
keep up the good job..!!!

thesexpistols: sure aku bleh tolong. ada msn/YM? or if you wanna ask anything in particular, can ask here. i don't have complete knowledge of fruityloops, mind you!

techmax: thanks! i can't put vocals becoz my suara very tak sedap hehe... any vocalists here wanna contribute their voice? i've got lots of metal songs without vocals.

modD > Just finished listening to your song. The title should be "loud" instead of silent.
Cool riffs, it sounds like As-Sahar, Sil Khannaz and co. Good composition, it would be greater if you attack more on the solo with lots of anger! Great job man!

axe: the title is Silent because the main riff was lifted from another malaysian metal legend - Silent Death!

btw, As-Sahar & Sil-Khannaz both have a great influence in my when i was in school. You have their songs in mp3?

I thought so. It shows a lot in your playing. Cool!
Unfortunately i don't any of their mp3s.

My 1 cent view on the track~

For home recording and with a drum software, the outcome are quite good. But the drum is a bit muddy and the cymbals sounded too digital. The snare drum tone not that bad though for me. The guitar tone can be improved I guess...sounded a bit weak. I don't feel the attack...distortion is best to be "in ya face" thing, not shy2 one hahaha

In general, i like the guitar playing hehehe~

Not bad wei!

its great. the solo's fine too

your rhytm is great!

quite clean play!!

awesome stuff... how u record the guitar?? microphone?? sounds pretty clean.. and type of sound card??

chapree: i didn't like how the rythm guitar came out... you're right, no attack. they were fairly ok when i first recorded, but when i tried to mix everything, i had to lower down the volume of the rythm tracks because it was drowning everything else. so one of my weaknesses lie in getting the correct balance of the rythm and drums/bass tracks.

ruffstuff: the guitar went in my multifx pedal and straight into the Line In of my Gametheater XP.

Hi nice song you got there modD ... thumbs up from me

I'm no musician or anything but just a question ...are those scratching/distortion sound coming from the right channel around minute 2.56- 3.07 intended ?

btw I do agree wif what other forumers said that the drums can be improved a bit

other than that ... good job and keep up the nice work

would really like to hear more of your works

I could use this music to boost my study feel.. now currently at uni lab. Suddenly felt so fresh after listening some fast + aggresive song. hehehe. Nice one man. Hopefully more people will upload theirs in future too.

Probably more techno songs? easily accesible via computer. doesnt need equips.. and mostly only need to surf and find sound samples. MIX MIX MIX and become Fatboy Slim

thanks!

Escaflowne: the distortion was an accident actually. i forgot to unplug the guitar in the silent part, and my cable's contacts are a bit rusty, so when i move around the distortion comes. i thought it was quite ok so i left it in the song.

blackflam: so you use my song to study eh? if you do badly in your studies (hopefully not) that means my songs are cursed!

... or it means he's a bad student.







.....

modD,mana nak carik fruityloops punya samples lagi aa?
cam synth nyer sample ke.efek2 pelik ke.

thanks.

^thanks.

i use my pxr4 for guitar and bass.

drums...hehe... www.fxpansion.com.

OAAAAAAA.

that's great !! I was going to make fun of Leddy Zeppy and his enthousiasm, but now I understand !! It BOOOOMBALISTIK !

but I can have only the first 25 seconds... did you cut it ? or can you re-upload it ?

dude! nice guitar sounds!
where to get this fxpansion thingy huh?

btw i've uploaded another 2 songs. link on 1st thread.

This post has been edited by modD: Jun 9 2005, 11:39 AM

no man..its teh full song...maybe sth wrong...but im dling it now...and it works fine...

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU ARE NOT MAKING FUN OF ME IN YOUR POST!! Weeeeeee....

My turn, I have the full track and no problem with the download. Guess this is the case of face problem... haih... (Even with RM500 richer, you didn't look any better that day )

I'ill download your track later ModD!

My 1.5 cent :
1) Yup, the drum tracks are amazing... I didn't like the bridge tho, too draggy. The rhythm parts are amazing but sounds too thin. Btw, you sure can wank very well! Oh yeah, the 'sublime' orchestra sounds pretty funny, tho creates a nice drone effect.

2) LOL! Japanese language site?? It sounds alright IMO & I like the way you mix the voice samples.. One thing's bothering me tho, the "oooh" women voice, did you lift that out from some porno??? Maybe that represents your Japanese 'dream', *ahem*!

hey modd. i hv heard the song filter...

its ok...the bass is too thumpy... but its ok la. fast.!

thanks guys

led_zep: yeah, that's what the title is about hahahaha!

modD, i like your japanese thinggy.. quite sexual, it all creates a thick atmosphere. Only at one point, the drums sound a bit dry (around the end.. or is it me which is a bit dry ? dry mouth maybe ? ), but otherwise really good.

the metal track... mmm... can't even do half of it, you really master the prog ! but i actually don't like it..

nick_drake... ok, so the first 25 seconds are amazing

next improvisation game is gonna be fun, if we all participate !!

^thx man. haha hear the whole song la.

Hah... do I get my prize??

Well, my last post here for the day, off to prom gig! Weee.... Will post pics here (if there's any)

here's another of my song, mainly for me to find the optimal sound for metal songs. i think i've improved the sound aspect a lot compared to the earlier ones...

Fearful Solution

it's an old song of mine, remastered

This post has been edited by modD: Jul 10 2005, 06:54 PM

just listened to your song just now. man u're awesome! what kind of software that u use to record this? the drums and bass sounded like being played by humans (were they?). i have this *ahem* fl v4.01 and i still struggling to get the whole idea... any tips? sorry if this question had already been asked.

my comments:
overall this song reminds me of slayer during their season and south era. were they your main influence when you write this song? i personally think that the 'bridge' part before the chorus where the double pedal kicking in deed to be added with chugging palm muting from the guitar. or else if you want the guitar to be similar to the 'verse', then the double pedal is not necessary imho...

This post has been edited by Air Hendrix: Jul 10 2005, 07:41 PM

thanks hendrix!

i used fruityloops studio 4.5.2 for the drums n bass. check out the fruityloops thread, some tips were posted.

yeah somehow after re-listening to the bridge part, it doesn't sound as powerful as i wanted it to be. i'll try adding dbl pedals later.

i only like a handful of slayer songs, but my influences were mostly 80/90s malaysian metal bands. and also black metal bands like Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. i guess that's why i tend to overuse the Minor scale

shit, it sounds really really goood!!

ya, tell me about it

i finally found the secret to heavy riffs... lots of layers! for the fearful solution song, i used 3 layers of guitar on each left & right channel, set at 100%, 60% and 30%. that created a wider soundstage for the guitars, makes the rythm sound more dynamic.

i used very little reverb. too high reverb and the guitars will lose its sharpness and attack, too low reverb will result in very dry guitar sound.

it would be even better if i have a hi-q microphone and a good amp. can do direct amp-miking. but the hardest thing for me to do was to find the perfect drum sound that doesn't interfere with the guitars' frequencies.

how i wish i've got pro recording equipments

added Huzai's beautiful song on the 1st post

DUDE!! thx alot!! i'll listen to ur stuff at home, here dont have speaker maa..

modD, you remind me of trent reznor (nine inch nails), one guy doing all the stuff and it sounds cekap

that's because i no longer have any 'kaki' to go jamming. during student years i used to be a hermit in my room and just play with music softwares

btw, equating me with Trent Reznor is too much la i tried to fuse metal and electronic, but i couldn't get anything good. it's harder than i thought... all i got were some cheesy electro-rock sh1ts

www.i-bands.net <-- malaysian indie

bump... just avoiding this post from getting whacked. i still have loads more songs to post up...

modD, don't worry about any topic getting whacked by me. I'll close any topic after I get the "All Clear" reply from the topic starter where this will only happen when he/she have found thier answer to that topic they opened.
However, we'll close any topic if we found any post that broke the LYN or this thread's rules with no futher notice to topic starter.

So don't worry

cheers TheWhacker, that's good to hear!

my fren and i created a song name 'chowkit' yesterday

come come post it here!

just created a prototype called "Cirit-Birit"

you can hear it at http://www.i-bands.net/butterflies

using Fruity Loops for the drums
and my cheap guitar and amp

* Modd,sampai harini aku tak reti2 lagi buat track untuk bass

butterflies, the mix too loud for the guitar.. i hear it 'terasing' from drums..also wif drum u need to adjust the velocity(volume) and stop looping the same riff and drum..same pattern loop its kinda boring(sorry but i have to say this)..i think u need to add a little reeverb to guitar tracks and remove the noise and eqing it..

hahha bro,itu saja2 je main belek2 5-6 minit rekod.
like i said its just a prototype.

i just plugin the guitar,record couple of takes then opened a drum loops software and make simple ass beat.

it's raw material

nanti bila betul2 siap sepenuhnya i will update

Meh, Whackerized on the other post already...... Re-Reposting it here...... AGAIN!!

WTF Blacktrix, your playing has improved some! Your guitar lessons have paid off!!! Great playing man & very nice tones!

The bluesy tone is surprising too!!! The ceramic (Right?) pickups in it may not be as warm as alcinos but man, it doesn't sound half bad!!! The reverb's very surfy! I love this track!!

This post has been edited by led_zep_freak: Oct 20 2005, 06:03 PM

Hehehehe. thanks man.... Wait till you hear the full song.....
Like I said, I did it waaaaaay back in 2003 I think.
But now that got more skills and better equiptment...... want to re-record it.

And yes... the EMG's are Ceramic......

W00t? 2003? LOL!

Anyway I'm so sorry Blacktrix, I just realized the Zakk Wylde issue's with my friend atm along with the disc.

No prob. When you get it back, just post it....

@blacktrix
i luv the track of stuck here
thats ur own creation or is it from a song??

blacktrix,

Good stuff u have there.

When I listened to the Stuck_Here_Sample, I was like "accoutic guitar" ? then the solos come in .... you're trying to form a country western heavy metal band aren't you ?

I love the solos riff starting from 0:47

What's with the Mama_Solo ? Why mama ?

cuz its from the song
mama i`m coming home

Ok... Stuck Here (All Alone) was a song I wrote back in 2003. I did it on an El Cheapo acoustic (with a passive pick-up addon) and my Les Paul BEFORE the EMGs were installed. Also, didn't have the experience I have now and I hated the solo I did back then. So I went back, re-recorded everything (I also dropped it from Half step down to a full step down tuning) and I'm now working on the drum loop.

I'm not really experienced in drum loops though..... anyone good with Drum Looping software????

post the tabs for us all when ur done
im luving that track
i cant stop listening to it
i luv the warmth of the p'ups
just the right amout of distortion... not too over the top!!

Hehehehe...... Don't worry..... My vocals will spoil it later on!

make an instrumental one then

No! I wanna hear Blacktrix sing!!!! It won't sound half bad imo! I'm sure everyone else wants to hear too!

yeah sing blacktrix sing .... ..... hey how come we dun have much vocalists here in the forum? .....

I think we have some vocalists here. They posted thier "voice" at the Musicians Recruitment Thread.

@blacktrix

I think you should finish up the song (Stuck_Here_Sample). Don't worry about the drums, once the song is finished from start to end ..... drums can easily come in with any riffs.

I even figure out which drum beat to use for that song already coz I tried out on the drums with that sample.

Cool. send the beat to me, and then I'll write it up in Audition and will see how it goes.....

Dang it , blacktrix I love your sample of Stuck here. Any chance of a full version soon?

I'll post the guitar only version soon......
meaning no vocals or drum tracks or bass tracks...
And I still have to work on a proper bassline and the drum programming. That will take some time.

nice track... very ZWish....

Yeah...... The Zakk Wylde pings wern't in the original..... I didn't know how to pull it off then.

No wonder my ears are still doing alright.

Btw, how do you trigger such perfect pings??? I can never get it right with the last 2 strings.

Practise practise practise practise practise!!!!
Ok.... i started experimenting with pings in 2003..... and now I can pull 'em off perfectly in 2005...... that's saying something.......

wow practice makes perfect? what a shocker

*takes out guitar*
see me in 3 years time!

You've forgotten another cliche evo.com, there's no such thing as perfect in this world...

So why bother?
