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.

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

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?

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

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!

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.

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?

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.

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!

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

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

thanks guys

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

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

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

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

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
