Hot stuff 'Loobs! ... I like! ... and the "Fire in the Radio" demo's were really good too! ... are you doing any gigs?
Interested to hear what rig you running (p/ups, pedals, amp, etc) on this track
"SodaCupKiller" ... :D ... love the name!
Sexy tone.............. and I'm not talking about the guitar ;)
I really love the metallic sounding "clank" when you mute the strings! What are you using for drums? They're quite well recorded.
Hey Scotty, unfortunately now that the missus is working nights me doing any sort of gigging is pretty much impossible at the moment, although I did play a 40th a little while back. Just a few acoustic sets but it was good to get out and play again.Quote:

The SD invader pups almost distort the signal anyway being that they're so hot so that really added to the grainy guitar sound I was looking for.
I just recorded the vox with a SM-58 with a bit of compression and FL-Studio on board distortion (Fruity Fast) I think it's called.
@ihasmario I just programmed the drums in FL-Studio, it's got a real nice step sequencer and I've built up a pretty good library of samples over the years so yeah...they're not too bad. Hoping to build a little studio next year so a drum booth is on the cards, you simply can't beat the real thing (excuse the pun).
Thanks for having a listen guys.
Edit; that ":Fire in the Radio" stuff ain't mine, I reckon those lads are from Philly.
Been playing round with a little prog number on the "Bladecatcher", not finished but getting there for anyone who cares to have a listen.

I really liked around 2:10 :P
Oh man, that was great...like really, really great! The keys that came in at the solo; amazing.
I'm glad you liked it man.Quote:

Definitely got promise.
Dirty Side Mirrors... someone has been channelling their inner Jack White! Wicked.
Your prog stuff was great too man - reminded me a lot of Rush. Could quite easily chill out with that stuff mate.
The prog track is amazing Bargey! Really really cool dude. Loved it.
cheers,
Gav.
@Gav, @Nick Hey thanks for the listen guys, it's always great to get a bit of feedback from fellow muso's, cheers guys.Quote:

Loved Exemplar. Reminds me a bit of "Prodigy Composers" by The Intersphere. I doubt you use their odd-ball tuning though.

Just out of interest, what tuning are those dudes using?
