This is great. I didn't know you made music. I listened through a few songs and it's definitely something I'll keep my eye on. The Planet Crusher is a very fitting name, and that riff is gonna be stuck in my head (In a good kind of way) for quite a while. Any idea how many songs will be on the album when you're done?

Really Happy with this bouncy song I recorded. :) :)

Reminds me of Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus & Texas Cowboys by The Grid ;D

Very nice.  Killer tone.  Crushing riff.  What drum software are you using?  The drums sound amazing.

I used Toontrack Drum kit From Hell - but I always have about three drumtracks going at once.

Usually one DFH - One crappy Logic Midi Kit mixed low and with a bit of distortion on to beef it up and some other MIDI 909 or 808 style drum for that phat snare and bass - also with a bit of gain and mixed low :)

Plus I humanize quite a bit. i don't like the drums to sound like they do on Djent songs. I really like it to be a bit loose.





Thanks for watching :hug:  :-*

Excellent.  I'd love to start playing around with recording, I had a Line6 PodStudio UX-1 that made some excellent tones (I saw on the next video that you were using the Line6 software interface), but it got inexplicably fried in a thunderstorm, JUST after the 90 day warranty had run out.  Whoops, sorry, we can't (won't) help you.  When it was working, I could never really get a good handle on programming drums reliably or anything.  Drum software always seemed so tedious to work with, but that could just be me being impatient and not taking the time.  :lol  So I'll definitely take a look at DFH, as soon as I get some sort of recording interface again.

:lol I use the POD UX1 !! I use it primarily as an interface. I don't use any of the sounds on it.

Drum scoring can be tedious. What I normally do is write out a 16 bar drum part - usually put in a slight fill at the end of every 8 bars. Then copy and paste that for the entire song - then just write in drum fills and accents wherever needed last.

I find this speeds up the process quite a bit instead of writing out a new drum part for every section / 4 bars of the song.

I also colour code *everything*. So - all my drum tracks are RED. If a section has a crash cymbal at the start - it is DARK RED. If its drum fill A - it's X colour - a slightly different drum fill = Y colour.

And so on - so when I look at the tracks in Logic - I instantly know where I can copy and paste a fill from to save time.

All bass tracks are BLACK. All Rhythm Guitar is BLUE. Guitar melodies and solos are YELLOW. Synth tracks are GREEN.

Listening on Bandcamp... I dig it. I like the balance. Nice steady riffing - this type of instrumental stuff is great imo!

I've decided to do a Six Degrees type album. Have each song carry on immediately from where the last one ended and retain some of the melodies / rhythms throughout the album.

I just tried putting the first two tracks together and it sounds so good going from one to the next that I really want to make it work :)

I tried somethig similar last year, but I eventually gave up after three songs. I was running low inspiration and I felt it was starting to feel too much like Six Degrees  :lol  So I'm wishing you good luck for that project. Hopefully you'll fare better than I did!

Musically it's nothing like it. it's just that i'm starting a song where the last one left off or starting a song just as the previous track starts to fade out so there's no gaps.

ITS HERE !!!!!

https://davidoakes.bandcamp.com/

My "gapless" album inspired by Six Degrees.

You can listen to it either fully sequenced and gapless with all the transitions or un-sequenced with no transitions and the full songs.

Man, that first song is pretty cool. Reminds me a bit of Devin Townsend for some reason. Will listen to the rest as well later.
