BLACKINK's Projects - v. Mixing this song nearly made me quit music

(1/3) > >>

BlackInk:
Thought I'd make my own thread for this instead of posting my updates in the musician chat thread.

---------------------------------------------------

So after making my wonky-sounding MIDI-demos for my solo project since 2008, I finally met up with some people who liked the same(ish) type music as I do and also played instruments. So in october 2014 we officially started the band Oktober. Since that time we have been writing music for our first album 'Virgo' and have recently started recording demos for that album and have so far put two of them on our SoundCloud page.

The demos are self produced and a bit rough around the edges since we are sort of learning as we go along. I think we're managing pretty good results though, certainly good enough for first time demos.

So please check it out. Comment about what you liked, didn't like, general observations, or anything. Peace!

The band and I finished a new demo and it's up on soundcloud. This will be the 'lead single' of the first album.

We're still in the demo phase, trying to zero in on a sound we'll use to properly record the first album one day, and while we're not quite there yet, we're getting close. This is the best we've sounded so far. So have a listen. It'd be fun if anyone has any comments or thoughts.

We've also recently replaced the old audio for the other two tracks with some newer remixes. So check those out too!

BlackInk:
Man this thread is old.

Over the past months I've built a home studio and am doing some tests to slowly learn how to record and mix stuff. I needed to try out some more all-out metal sounds if I'm to make the demos I'm planning, so I made this cover/remix of Halsey's song Bells in Santa Fe to try some stuff out and get a general sounscape (partly) dialed in. Don't expect the overlap betweeb DT-fans and Halsey fans to be all that significant, but I think it turned out pretty mean.

Dude, I totally love the remix!

Sounds like you have a really good grasp on sonics and mixing in general.

If you ever need some session stuff (I'm primarily a guitarist, but if it has strings, I can probably have it and can record it), feel free to send me a PM.

BlackInk:
Experminetation continues. Done lots of stuff inbetween I might post at some point, but for now I thought I'd just share my latest thing I finished, which is a cover/remix of Coldplay's song 'Midnight' but--to the best of my abilities--in the style of the band TesseracT. It's not perfect, but it was a fun little project.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. May have slightly forgot this thread existed, otherwise I would have seen and replied to this sooner..
