![]() Been hard at work getting these songs done. I did everything but vocals and playing the drums. All home recorded and mixed and mastered by me. It's pretty much the best I could do with what I have. Anyway, give a listen and let me know how it sounds on your system. I did 16 songs out of the 19 we have and they should get rotated eventually. http://www.myspace.com/hollowappostle |

![]() Sounds pretty good. I could use more guitar in the mix. Drums are bit too loud in relation. My .02 ![]()

![]() Thats some sick stuff man....I listened to all 5 songs on your myspace....and thought they were all pretty solid. I like "Rank" the best. You got some really killer guitar work. ![]() |

![]() I don't know if it's the player or something wrong with my software.... but I'm getting basically no bass out of your tracks. Kind of kills the double bass drum pedal and the bass line when it's just a flat sounding thud...

![]() ![]() On my setup it comes across as a bit muddy, think the vocals need to be pulled forward a smidge.

![]() The drums and bass need some serious equalising; the kick/bass has no fill whatsoever. Otherwise, the actual playing is quite applaudable ![]() |

![]() To me muddy means no clarity or lack of certain treble frequencies. Is this what you guys mean? If so, on what instuments or is it the overall mix? Even the drummer said the bass drums are too loud...just tonight at practice. If he says so...then they must be too loud! If I lower those bass drums everything else will be up in volume in relation at least a little bit. Maybe lower the overall drum level after that. I can change that. I have actually heard from others there are no bass frequencies out of the drum set and well....the bass guitar is not a bass guitar. It's my 6 string with a pitch shifter and impulse response cabinet emulators and other stuff. I worry about redoing things that were posted because everyone will think this is not the song I heard awhile ago. If you know how everything was recorded you might laugh if you were in the know. I mean, the bass drums were recorded with Shure SM57's on a Yamaha MD8 minidisc 8 track recorder. Same as vocals but with a SM58. I'll try to readjust settings and post a song to see what you people think. Just keep the feedback coming so I can be helped along the way. I swear I am deaf to certain frequencies...too many years of loud music without earplugs. ![]() |

![]() seems like you've lost the bottom end.. fill that back in and it should sound fine.

I'm really trying to get down the sound before this week runs out so I can do the all 16 tracks the same way. We have a show on July 31st and someone already wants to help us out passing our demo around. He knows some people, considering he's in a well known band...just not our style (I won't tell you which band). Just trying to do the best I can with what I have in the amount of time I have. |

![]() It was meh... It may have just been the sound were muted out some, I dunno. I'm not really to thrilled about some of the vocals either. To be fair though, the whole low growl "singing" isn't my flavor. Steer it towards Fear Factory and I think it'd sound a bit better. But take Kitty for example, I love 'em till THEY of all people try to do the low growl singing. They just make me go wtf and skip the song. That and the myspace player kept f'ing up...

![]() I noticed your PM, sorry that I responded so late. Stricken sounds awesome! Sent it to some of my friends, and they all liked it. Rank seems to come out as favorite tho. Seriously, let me know when your CD goes live - you got at least 9 buyers already. |

![]() The vocalist has only being doing it for about a year and a half. No experience before that. I'm sure he'll figure out how to do things in time. I did vocals before him so I know the proceedure and the learning process. Been there, done that. The whole holding of screams, raising and lowering of pitches...yup, I did that too for awhile. I don't want the band to sound like Fear Factory, they already do. ![]() |

![]() the only thing I could say about the vocalist is maybe mix in some normal singing into some songs like Opeth.. I love Opeth and the waves of sound and style they hit you with. other than that I really have enjoyed the songs I've heard.

![]() Hmm not sure if it would work with Fuku band. they don't have that same melodic feel that opeth has. Also, opeth mixes many genre's together; 70's rock, Jaz, blues, and metal. This is pure metal.

![]() Slipknot actually has some very good songs with amazing lyrics, though they're hard as hell to understand sometime. However, listen to them with the full lyrics in front of you and many of them are anything but senseless, imo. EDIT: my bad. @ fuku2, the band sounds great, if the sound levels were better, more processed, I think it'd be a big hit. Just sounds a bit raw atm, but really good music.

Im not turning this into a FF vs slipknot thread (already happens on youtube anyway). no need here. but id say this owns, this. hands down in terms of technical skill on guitar and so on. And this is just my personal opinion, others might think otherwise. and thats fair enough. (wow linking youtube looks weird on here, I'll spoiler it) |

![]() warning may spoil low intellects who cant think without their peckor's. if you guys cant see it then i dont know, then I guess unlucky. you'll die sooner than you think. It doesn't take a genius to figure, if anybody wants to discuss this further with me then do so, PM ME if you want to flame/abuse me. if i get no reply here you've just been owned, oh yeah search the word "owned" (pun intended) google it comes up with a women nearly pissing her self. what the **** have i just walked into this is disgusting, goes to show how failing our system is no way am i sitting back and watching this ****. I gonna do something about it. cya all later. presist to resist is all im gonna say. (Fear Factory) these guys saw this coming nearly 20 years ago talk about genius's, Its time to make a difference. anyone getting cocky? they can come to england and we'll havea chat. fuku2 your welcome anytime mate, your a top guitarist. Peace mate. Peace. and I hope fuku2 does really well with his bands and makes examples of the **** bands, afterall you join a band to make a difference right? what ive seen on this board recently has disgusted me. goes to show how things are heading yet they get away with it. ****ing system again well done. PC brigade can go die in a fire as well, metaphorically of course. SLIPKNOT FANS try not to get any STD's while your listening to slipknot and good luck not dieing or your kids turning into what she is if you do. (she needs some guidance and support and err love?) (The revolution has begun) if you cant see it your dumb its simple. PM me if you hvave any issues with what ive just said. amen. Now im off to do something and buy Fear Factory's whole back catalogue. Peace. If you release anything whats decent I'll happily buy it. (fuku2). It has to be decent though, hope you get my drift. Peace mate. Last edited by Raiasokura : Jul 29, 2010 at 05:23 AM. Reason: due to the ignorance on this forum this post will probally not get read then so be it. |
