is it real drums? i simply prefer other drum tones (mainly concerning snare), but these are my tastes, yours a great work

Try downloading Quicktime basic without the iTunes crap. Then you can real-stream files like this in the browser window.

I dont use quicktime,my pc is for recording and sometimes quicktime freezes everything

Updated Version (less "dangerous" kick"), same Link.

Shorter Sample for Sombra:

Pretty Star Short Sample

here you go mate

@ytse_jam: yepp, all real drums.
the snare gave me a hard time, coz i had to get rid off alot of ring and overtones that sounded like crap

 

[sombra]

I liked the sound of the instruments except drums.
Drums sounded like pink floyd 1978 recordings,without punch.
I liked the voice s tone.
It is well recorded BUT
I didnt liked the song at all.
I missed a part or bridge or whatever that capture my feelings but to my ears song sounded very flat without any excitement.
Starts and finished and nothing happened.
Maybe a time change could bring some life to it I dont know.
It could be an elevator s song because nobody will pay attention to it.
Maybe a BON JOVI s chorus type I dont know.

Sorry

 

[metalaxe]

no need to feel sorry, i didn't write that song..
i also think it's pretty boring

funny you mention 1978 p.floyd...
the reference given by the band was "make it sound like somewhere between The Who and Deftones"....
muhahaha.... :lol:

thanks for your opinion sombra

 

[sombra]

metalaxe do you have a recording studio ?
If yes please show me some pics I love studios

metalaxe do you have a recording studio ?
If yes please show me some pics I love studios

so far it's a mix between my own studios and a studio i'm hireing (i'm the head-engineer there, so i get good rates).
i'm actually building my own studio atm, but that's gonna take a year until it's finished.
so until then i gotta work at my small studio and the other place (that's not mine (didn't buy it), but i'm pretty much the only one working there, so i consider it being "my studio" ).

here's the link to my page:

nice,
is that ns-10 on the top-left pic?
like to have a pair myself, only i never have the money for them and a good poweramp at the same time

most work i do (editing/mixing etc) i do in my bedroom...
the big studio i'm only using when i need big rooms or a couple of them (it's like 6 rooms linked with each other) and lots of preamps...although i hate the dm2000 ones (and of course to impress clients )

so usually my working area looks pretty much like yours at the moment....

 

[sombra]

what is a dm 2000 ?
Never heard about it.
Are you from germany ?
Oh my good you cant imagine my desire to live in your country.
Parents from a friend of mine are germans.
I love when they talk to me about their country.
Nice talking to you
see yeah

 

[metalaxe]

dm 2000 is a crappy digital console from yamaha...
the preamps and converters make everything sound flat, tiny and lifeless.....

yepp, i'm living in germany....but i could also imagine to have a nice studio somewhere at a big lake in the forests of sweden or something

 

[sombra]

I prefer caribbean.
Im a guitar player and I am a scuba diving and skydiving instructor too.
So I love ocean,beaches ,sun etc.
I dont live without ocean :shock:

 

[metalaxe]

i've got the baltic sea like 5km next to my home, but that's a bit colder than the caribbean though .
i think i could live with the caribbean too....
i'm just fearing, that there are less metal-musicians there, lol

where are you from?
