Original track; Happy Birthday Murica

[DanTravis62]

I just recently fixed my computer and had to set up all of my recording gear again. Like, all of it.

So my demos are gonna be a little rough for a while.

That disclaimer out of the way, happy 4th everyone + take a listen to my attempt at some original music

Sounded great! Thanks for posting. What is your signal path?

It's pretty complex as i'm throwing a bunch of shit at the wall (i lost most of my templates i've made over the years when my computer shat out)

There's the engl with EV12L with a 57, straight in

Kemper profile of a larry, straight in, T75s, and a 421

Kemper profile of a 5150 green channel with gain very low, double boosted with an LPD 68 and a KSR eros, wall of sound NOSV30 with 57, 121, 421

so sextuple tracked with one of the tracks having three mics

Bass is a pbass with steve harris pickups and an swr workingman plus DI

Since i don't have any of the many templates ive developed over the years its going to take me a while to get things dialed in as well as they used to be for my demo stuff

Your guitar sounds killer and it's a cool track. +lyrics and solos next

It reminded me of some Tommy Victor or Dave Mustaine riffage.

Sounds amazing. I love the tone. Great mix

If I get the itch to, I will

I just wanted to get the idea down before i forgot the riffs

thanks guys.

I didn't have any of my templates, track effects, plugins, etc for this so that's good to hear that it sounds okay

 

[Floyd Eye]

Sounds awesome Dan.

I understand this. When i lost my presets (my fault), it was inconvenient to use my daw.

But you have a great ear and the knowhow to make things sound fucking spot on like they should

Yeah it's a massive pain in the ass, and just takes a lot more time

Having templates and presets for everything just makes everything go so much faster

But i'm used to it, i used to have to work in wildly different studios with wildly different gear and systems so i can still make shit happen

It's just more annoying than I want it to be

I had my brother in law set up a ton of presets on reaper for me that automatically kept me from clipping and all kinds of other voodoo. I accidentally fucked it all up.

So now i have some decent presets i made myself that get the job done, but that transition from losing the presets to having to set up something workable was a pain in the ass. And it isn't even as complicated as probably what you had. I get it

Yeah there's a whole range of presets and templates that I need to use in a DAW to organize how i'm doing everything

There's the "keep you from clipping" stuff, the noise gate stuff, the organization and busses

THEN there's the "Effect" stuff - and I don't mean verbs and delays, I mean compression presets for snares and kicks, multiband for when your guitar tone is farting out on the palm mutes, etc etc

 

[Kordoba]

This slams, great job!

 

[70 Mach 1]

Sounds awesome.

Thank you to both of you for taking the time to come to the clips subforum and take a listen! I appreciate it a lot

Sounds killer
Happy Belated 4th to you too.
Trying to think of what your track reminds me of? Queensryche maybe?

Thanks for taking a listen man - queensryche is a good band, not really one of my influences, but all power metal (both Euro and US) is technically what I am going for so that makes sense
