[dragonforce 8bit]

when i read 8bit dragonforce i went . . .

:S :P :| :/

but then i listen to it and went

:D :D :D :D

hahah this is an excellent take on this fucking epic song

im not a fan of them

but fuck me

this 8bit version does wonders

excellent job
looking forward to hear the final

9 cos it isnt finished

[°advance°]

next time you export from guitar pro

turn the mix down a tad

i find this is something alot people end up doing

[Untitled[Beneath The Massacre]]

very nice

practially nailed the track

but id like to see more beneath the massacre covers

:D

the one criticsm i have is that the track is a little rough sounding
i can hear in the guitar track where youve cut the volume straight after you finish the note. cutting tracks like this causes clipping when the volume drops to zero. next time try a fade out that lasts no longer than half a second as it sounds much more cleaner that way.

and also

try tweak the drums a bit more in DFH
because it is possible to get a real good sound from it rather than not changing the mix a little

other than that

well done

now go give totalitarian hypnosis a shot :P

HappyHomicide responds:

thanks for the love dude!!
Well I didnt flat cut it, it's still there, just quiet becuase theres a damn ring. what do you mean by tweak more in DFH?

totalitarian hypnosis... I may have to way a but. I like nevermore... more. the breakdown makes me lol/shit a brick.

Keep it metal!!!

[Return to You]

i dont think its the quality . .

everything is peaking the whole way through the song

maybe remix the track and re submit

but none the less

good track

well done

[Magnum-Metaljonus]

PROG POWER!!

finally some real decent progressive power metal

sounds nuts man

fucking impressed

one thing i have to criticise is the tone of the bass halfway through

for some reason the mid range of the bass seems to come through the mix making certains sections sound farty

but hey

excellent song

im just being a nazi

:D

[xSLAMx]

nice nice nice

like what youve done with the compressor

was the mic compressed or did you do it in the master?

and also which compressor and mic did you use ?

cheers
Jay

jarrydn responds:

Recording was two mono tracks (one guitar, one drums) panned centre. Just a compressor strapped across the drum track to make it really pump. No other effects as far as I'm aware, apart from maybe some EQ.

Microphone was a shure SM-57...hence the trashy sounding drums hahaha. But I kind of dig it, in a real DIY grind kind of way :]

The compressor was the one that comes default with Sony Acid Pro. I don't know why, but I really like how dirty it is. It's wicked for slamming the life out of anything. But yeah, we just took it from Acid and used it in Nuendo instead ;D

Ummmm, once the track was mixed down, I probably would have opened it up in t-racks and limited the buttz out of it to get it as loud as possible. Also the t-racks EQ is pretty fucking gnarly :)

[Nothing To Prove]

:) oh jarrydn

reminds me when i was a snotty nose 13yr old staying up till 3 in the morning to get the perfect punk o matic mixes

jarrydn responds:

SAME HERE!!!

:D

Oh lawdz, the good old days. It was all neopets, runescape and punkomatic hahahaha

[SimCity 2000 REMIX]

ohhh dude

things brings back soooo many memories

YOU CANNOT CUT BACK ON FUNDING YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!
