I'm sort of back.

Hi all.

It's been a long time since, i've posted anything in here, but now i'm sort of back(I wasn't really gone in the first place)
Well I tried to make a metal like song, but I don't know how well it turned out.
Please comment and give some constructive critisism.

Well homie, you have some interesting ideas, but they're all getting lost in the delay/reverb. Can't really say Slayer does this piece much justice. I don't think I've ever heard a tambourine in metal before.

The progression is very electronic, too. After the intro, it sort of goes into a chorus and stays in a chorus.

Thanks for your reply.

I think that i'm more used to make electronic like songs rather than metal songs.
what you said can really help me, when i'm going to make a metal song again.
I will keep what you said in mind.

Well, keep in mind that non-electronic music has that

Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Verse, Bridge, Chorus, Chorus layout.

Set up three patterns, and try that out and see how it goes.

For metal, listen to the real deal. If you want something more "real", try finding Slayer 2 or Hypersonic 2.

Also, tweak with the settings. That preset is just brutal, no offense.

The drums sounded a bit dancy to me, if I remember straight ..

Sorry I can't give you more to work with. Kind of crunch time, and I'm sitting in a library. Thought I'd check in though, haha.

I will, thanks.

* sound is distorted, the mix is too loud in some parts
* don't use slayer
* if you use slayer, use combo emulators like Amplitube or Guitar Rig
* manage volune levels more attentively
* drum production is bad, you need to work on it, basically on dynamic sides like compression of the drumline and of the whole track
* melodies are ok, but the ending is frustrating. you have to put an effort in the ending.

good luck!

Thanks.

deffinitely going to agree with the more electronic sounding comment. I'd deffinitely upgrade to hypersonic 2 or slayer 2 if you're going to make anything non-electronic or using a guitar- those programs are better than their predecesors by leaps and bounds. Overall, not bad, but your drum samples are not eq'd properly, and really doesn't sound like a real drum. the drum could also do with some compression and a boost to bring it out more, especially in places with kick-rolls and the like.
