Metal Gilda Theme

[BlackElectric]

I was finally able to do a metal song after forever!

Some thoughts:

- The frequency for the click in the drum needs to move up a couple of thousand hertz, it's a bit to slappy instead of clicky.
- The rhythm guitars have too much bass and not enough mid, plus a touch to much gain, so it'll all a little muddy.
- leads are too loud against everything.
- Are those rhythm guitars being panned/double tracked? If not, doing so will help fill them out.
- I can't hear bass, that's not nescessarily bad.
- Hats are getting lost in the mix, could suggest slight panning to the side, and some reverb to bring them out.


Hope some of this helps.

The idea seems cool though.

Thanks for listening PinkieGuy!

I have no idea what that means xD Can you explain it a bit?

I don't have a bass guitar, so is there something I can put in its place?

Just to one side?

You're welcome. We need more metal bronies.

Here's a great article to explain what I mean:

There are some free bass vsts, but if worst comes to worst, record a clean guitar and pitch shift it down an octave.

Just to one side?

As little as 10% to the left or right could just help to spread the mix out a bit more. At the moment, lots is in the centre.

Alright. Thanks for the advice!

I really like the idea! The guitars sound really good. But as a whole, it sounds a bit empty. However, after following PinkieGuy's advice it will definitely sound fuller.
Great job! Keep it up!
