2024 Do Something Challenge Offseason and Director’s Cut thread



South Indian groove metal, as I like to think of it. Hope the rules don't require you to have a full band mix, this is just me working on a tune I wrote. One shot, one take.

Gear used was am ESP RZK-II into a Neural DSP Quad Cortex.




Note to self: Change strings every now and then. This is an Axe FXIII tone that I had created and revisited using a guitar that's just been restrung. This should be pretty basic, but alas, I ignored the fact that new strings equals more tone.


I tried a full mix and failed as usual. Drums definitely need to be less staccato. This is a Caparison Horus through a VHT GP3 that's routed through the Axe FXIII. Another song I'm working on.





An Ode to My Wife Without Words. This is just a song I wrote for the love of my life. Ah me, if only I had the skills to express myself better.

Keep it up man, great stuff!

Thanks, man.

Here is another track I'm working for, culled from a longer demo video I did for this guitar. Sorry for the Instagram link.

As always, apologies for the mix, or rather lack of it. I have a really poor room, and combine that with really poor ears and it is difficult for me to make logical mixing decisions.

Ah, I should stop posting. No one else seems to be doing it, so kind of pointless if I'm the only one.

Anyhow, here's a song I was working on.


If you are posting because you want to share your music (or music you are working on), then there is no reason to stop. I would encourage you to continue posting. Have you checked out others postings in the members music sections? Not everybody is going to post in this thread ;~)) Keep it up, it is not a competition (not hear anyway, until the next challenge, then competition is on!!!) ;~))
 
Cool, glad to hear. I'll try to post something in the actual season.

This is a song called Judgment, still in demo stages. I tried to do some Lemmy Kilmeister vocals for a laugh.

I do need some help though, been trying to decide between two tones for the guitars. Not sure which one is better. Do comment on which you prefer.

Do note that no mixing was done on the track, just some vocal processing to get it to the right level and some AI mastering.

I think the Guitars V2 sounds better. A bit richer/fuller to my ears! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your participation in the challenge starting Sunday ;~))
