here, this is a decent example of the genre

2020-10-22 16:11:22 UTC  

TFK is an awesome band

2020-10-22 17:22:35 UTC  

indeed. TFK and Red are probably the two bands that got me into metal

2020-10-23 02:21:18 UTC  

If u like metal u might like Silverstein

2020-10-23 04:15:14 UTC  

thx

Green Day is good. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2020-10-24 17:34:17 UTC  

Thus far, I have a basic chorus written. The guitar used is a Schechter C1 on an EMG 85, tuned to drop Bb. I am thinking I am going to tune up to C# and re-rec tho. :/

2020-10-24 17:34:36 UTC  

i still dont know how I am going to rap over this tho xD

2020-10-24 17:40:26 UTC  

maybe if you made the beat a little bit quieter so you could hear the guitar a bit more, it would be easier to rap over? it sounds good, but im not sure if its really something to rap over, sounds like a good instrumental break. nicely done dude

2020-10-24 17:56:32 UTC  

ye, idk

2020-10-24 17:56:38 UTC  

i dont really like it

2020-10-24 17:56:50 UTC  

thanks though, I appreciate it

2020-10-24 17:57:13 UTC  

Im think maybe rap leading up the chorus?

2020-10-24 17:57:21 UTC  

but that might sounds weird..

2020-10-24 17:58:19 UTC  

your def right I need to adjust the audio levels though. The guitar sounds faint and is clipping really bad. :/

that little red in the bottom next to master is the visual proof your right

2020-10-24 18:02:32 UTC  

I re-recorded it at a higher tuning. I think it sounds a bit better, but idk. I might scrap this idea. :\

2020-10-24 18:04:32 UTC  

yeah, im not sure, I like singing but im not good with music making or instruments. what you have so far sounds like something a lot more chill. Ill try to give you an idea of what I think might work.

you have the original clip as an intro leading up, then the guitar fades out and you get the beat for an extra second then all silence while you just get one "tsch tsch tsch tsch" then some chill/relaxed rapping goes through with a really light beat, then once you finish the verse your last couple words blend in with the original clip and it goes for a short chorus.

I hope I explained my idea well

2020-10-24 18:05:37 UTC  

oh wow the changes for the second one make it sound completely different. and this might just be a difference in opinion/difference in preference, but I still think the beat could be a little bit quieter to mix with the guitar a little bit more

2020-10-24 18:06:17 UTC  

hmm, ye I like that idea, I think that'll be my next move.
as for the second clip, yes I haven

2020-10-24 18:06:26 UTC  

haven't touched the drums yet*

2020-10-24 18:08:21 UTC  

gotcha. one problem I see is the sound of the drums might get lost in the guitar, the drums might need to contrast the guitar/sound a little bit higher to stand out more. Im no expert, I dont know a lot of the terms, but I guess what Im describing would be HI-top? is that the right word for the sharper/higher sounding cymbals

2020-10-24 18:09:26 UTC  

either way, I like how its coming along. hope I can give you some helpful suggestions and feedback ๐Ÿ˜„ Im not doing this with the intention of making you change everything to how I like it, just want to make sure you know that

2020-10-24 18:10:05 UTC  

I think the "tsch" sound is a hit-hat, but, tbf, im not an expert either.

2020-10-24 18:10:19 UTC  

no no I know your not

2020-10-24 18:10:23 UTC  

I came here to ask for help

2020-10-24 18:10:58 UTC  

yes! hi-hat. thats what I was trying to think of

2020-10-24 18:11:05 UTC  

I have to leave for work soon, but I should have just enough time to try your idea on the drums.

2020-10-24 18:11:51 UTC  

awesome!!! I hope it ends up sounding somewhat decent lol. if anything, I hope my suggestions give people inspiration to try other things that hadnt thought of

2020-10-24 18:12:02 UTC  

I think I deleted about half the drum track... -_- awesome xD

2020-10-24 18:12:12 UTC  

oh shit

2020-10-24 18:12:38 UTC  

ok i got it back

2020-10-24 18:12:50 UTC  

almost made a very costly mistake there xD

2020-10-24 18:14:17 UTC  

phew. thats good at least. what do you use? are you actually playing the instruments or do you use a program to make music? I would love to make music, but Im terrible at it, havent used a good program, and cant play instruments

2020-10-24 18:20:47 UTC  

I run my electric guitar into the computer via an audio interface. The drums I use are sims though. anyways, I'll send the new audio clip later, but rn I have to leave for work. sorry! thanks again m8

2020-10-24 18:58:53 UTC  

no worries! I got stuff im dealing with off an on too

2020-10-25 17:06:43 UTC  

USAF is so badass.

2020-10-25 17:29:48 UTC  

Is this something along the lines of what your were saying? Its not the final version, as I want to change some of the velocities (how hard the drums are hit in the sim), but I think it is a good starting place. Also, this track just loops for a minute so don't bother to listen to the entire thing! xD
