Assassin's Creed

Addicted is nice , rest of the album trys too hard to score with 14 year old kids though

Sister stone - the mixing is horrible , the drums are low and the lead guitar should be quite higher , it sounds like 1989 , where bands like STP were still forming there sound , witch means its very un modern , the vocals are okay , the effect annoys me though , dont see why you need it. the guitar tone , its not clean enuff , and you seem to try reach that Alt metal sound , and so i advice you hear a three days grace song for Tone guidance , it would improve the song by atleats 20% .

Give me one more reason-the mixing is a little better here , the guitar tone , same advice on that one , the solo is un focused and could have been better , the guitarist goes into a wave of self indulgence there , and i still am not feeling that modern touch , have you tried working with a proper producer?

I really, really appreciate your detailed feedback cuz we're in the process of getting a final mix of the songs. You're dead-on with many of the level issues and they will be bumped up. To be considered, though, are the speakers you're listening to the songs on because the tracks are not yet mastered.

As for tone & vocal effects, I think that comes down to a matter of personal preference. I wanted the lead guitar to have an Iron Maiden-ish tone and I think it sounds pretty similar. I'm not a fan of bands like 3 Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, etc., but I'll take a listen to their tonal qualities for future reference.

We've actually been getting alot of complements on the production quality. The biggest issue with making the songs absolutely perfect comes down to one thing: finances. That said, for the time we spent in the studio, I think he did an awesome job putting stuff together.

Also, whether intended to be or not, saying we have a 1989 sound on a GNR message board is the ultimate complement!

Thanks again!

Personal preference is self indulgence , every succesful musician HAS to put his personal indulgence to a minimum , remember a band is a buisness and every business creates a product for the mass market , thus has to have mass appeal , and the reason i reccomended three days grace is because what the market finds most appealing , when you learn from the best and avoid indulging your self , you'll find youve become one of the best and simplicity is grand.

1989 , thats horrible , gnr board , yea , but you cant go back in time , you gotta make the best of what you have now , so i reccomend putting the trebble down , bass up on the tone and a little fuzz , also you should cut down the lead , hes solo'ing all through the songs practicly , i think you can learn alot from the song chinese democracy , ther are lots of lead parts but they come in very elegantly , trust me on this i know my shit , i too am making my own music , got my own studio tho , on my laptop ,anyways , trust me , you have to re adjust those songs , and try change guitars for the chorus btw , define it better , make it easier for the avg listener to sing along too , jump octaves , add drama!! , later.

on another note , does this decade have identity? , i mean the 80's ,movies , fashion etc , it was excessive ,and now it seems to be bland and baggy , rap clothing and boring normal hairdo's , no one's experimenting anymore..Mmmm , music is the only thing i like in this decade.

i really dont see why system of a down are together and creating music , they dont just create music , they create a legacy , there the iron maiden of the 21st century , in status , not music ..

your too immature for my taste , im not gonna dignify ur childish antics with a response , good day sir.

1 - i was making normal sugestions until you came the vile insult witch in turn caused me to return the favour

2- your obviously around 40

3-im not an appetite head thankyou , im infact in favour of what ive heard from Chinese democracy ,it suites me it adds a modern touch to the past and does it in style .

4- your an idiot who should stick to the 90's artists rathert than come here and trash good bands because they dont suite ur taste category.

The concept of Kid Rock could have been exciting, in the vein of, say, Lynyrd Skynyrd or Pantera, but generally his music just bores me.

He bore's you but the grateful dead's long jams dont?? , ud think after hearing the gratefuldead , the bar for boring would rise a dew notches.....i should get into the gratefuldead...i wonder where to begin.

wheres my playboy...

hey motherfucker , call me a daft punk in the street and id drag ur silly old carcass to the burial grounds .

idiot , taste is subjective , to me its better , to u maybe not , to others its better , u GENERALIZE , u daft old coot.

Go take ur middle age issues elsewhere .

Edit:

Ya smart move taking out the daft punk remark.

lol, a big man at his keyboard, dont make silly threats to impress your girlfriends on here, you cant back it up boy

Your right i cant , its immoral to beat up senior citizen's.

why do you buy movies????? Www.surfthechannel.com , all the movies you want right there ..and if your a Tv man u can download them and rip to cd , you know thats good money wasted , you could have gotten excessively drunk with that money.

on another note , Superbad is hilarious .

and its the frey btw, & they're are crap aswell

I beg to differ.

for the verve we now have the fray , go check them out if your looking for good music , you have to move your fat ass .

nirvana simplified things , anyways thats not really my focus , im more into the radiohead /the verve movement , where music is sung properly and is played creativly , i agree on anyone starting a band after nirvana , but only good bands r heard so the bad ones can be tuned out with a malt shot.

Addicted is a really good song , critics name it a nickelback ripoff , but its a bit more complex than the usual nickelback singles , guitarwise abd arrangement wise maybe

No , music didint go downhill , music changed , shifted from ur taste category , so to u it sucks , dont generalise , good bands came out that period , like Coldplay ,muse ,the killers , john mayer (subjective) , Mika , the fray,system of a down ,disturbed to name a few.

masinstrean rock radio is good , maybe modern rock radio isnt for you.

What equipment do you use?

im impressed with the mixing on the journey home.

You wouldnt have thought of it tho.

means its nothing innovative like under the bridge sweet child o mine etc

where you learn it and go , wow thats a diffrent way and it works , smile is really basic , something u work oit by ear , theres no challenge if u will , its basic , 5th grader stuff. not bashing or anything , afterall it was a 3 day job although he could have tried harder.

Btw try that effect matt bellamy uses in hysteria , would sound intresting

I find the mixing muddled ,the solo would be much better with a whammy bar or a wah pedal rather than the effect u have ,

also id have rather had a tone closer to ur song with the MLK speech for the riff , it would sound alot better .

Dont listen to orangestone , that guy knows nothing of music prodcution or barely his isntrument , Smile , it took me 10 seconds to figure out the way to play the intro its much to simple and obvious , lacks creativity .

Dont see how u do like timbaland then , this is his signature style ....doesnt make sense

Anyone have a download link?

This song is really what im looking for.

Are you kidding? , well i wouldnt be surprised , most of you are stuck in 1994 , this is the sound of the future ,and it sounds good , creative , diverse and diffrent , the guitar drum bass thing is really getting boring .

overall i like this track and now i have one of more option for future producers of my debut.

Ok , browser , your music simple is outdated , stuff ud hear in 1989 , production , attitude and tone wise.

the lyrics are very mediocre , and seven trys too hard, lyrically to appeal , alas it has not lasted in my head.

guitar wise , you have skill but nothing more than the avg winger/warrant cover artists.

id reccomend you leave ur self indulgence behind and start focusing your music ina modern direction , i hear no grunge or alternative , i heard hard rock .

i frankly dont give a fuck , there missing out , there narrow sights miss on the underlying beauty of an artist.
