BananaMash Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Ha ha! Thanks, and all I use is a really limited, crappy program free off the Internet, it's not even a proper mixing program really, it Audacity, I use it to recored and mix. Just imagine how good it could be if I used ProTools or something... ProTools is good. If you could get something like Fruity Loops or Reason that you could run VST and VSTi's off of you'd have even more options. There's a tone of free VST instruments you can get online if you wanted to do some symphony-rock type crap. I mean, obviously your focus is on live instruments, but you'd have so many options. I have Fruity Loops, and it's a bit tricky to use, but you can do a lot with it. Link to comment

I use Guitar Pro 6 for the drums and bass tracks as well as any other non guitar instrument but it's so limiting, I'll have to give Fruity Loops a try. I used to have ProTools years ago but I've lost all the CD's and codes and what not... Link to comment

The most use you'd get out of FL would be orchestral or synth. There's some nice bass plug-ins that you can get for it too that sound pretty real. If you try it, be sure to look for some outside VST/VSTi's, because the ones that come with it are pretty much only geared towards the production of dance/trance/hip-hop music. It's a versatile program if you find your own plug-ins though. FL9 XXL is really easy to obtain. If you need any help with it, or decide to try it and need some help finding some VST's I'd be more than happy to help. Just shoot me a PM if you need a hand. Link to comment

I'm guessing there's a demo or trail version? Link to comment

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I've uploaded a few more: I Want To Be Free http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2h4wFJ8BHA Death Is Come http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mfCNO-Y_ZM Jailbait http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uClHT684rjQ I also re-recorded this one. I changed how the drums enter (on a suggestion from avelanch) and I also improved the bass: The Colours Of The Sun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P6Z4omk6So Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 GP6 Demo Songs Ok, I don't have time to record all the songs I write so I've uploaded a few GP6 (Guitar Pro 6 is a program I use to write my songs, also I use the bass and drum tracks from it in my actual recordings) demo versions that I feel are a cut above the rest to Soundcloud and will post them here. This one is a song I wrote for my dog: http://snd.sc/16hjFfX Here are a few unfinished/still being polished songs: http://snd.sc/19lN521 http://snd.sc/16hjph0 http://snd.sc/11iqkqF http://snd.sc/11iqkH9 http://snd.sc/18DgEcs Link to comment
The Lock Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Your backgrounds sound great! What kind of singer are you looking for? The link I provided below is a song I wrote with my vocals. I'm mostly just getting into singing. https://soundcloud.c...lent-union/time I won't be offended if you say no. It's all about taste afterall. Link to comment
WiDeN Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Pretty good singing man. I have a pretty deadly ear, and I am critical of singers especially myself, and I honestly think you're good. In your song, I would shorten the intro or throw a couple vocals in to it. Other than it not being my type of genre, I thought it was very well done. Link to comment
WiDeN Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 My wife asked who I was listening to. She likes it too. Link to comment

The Lock Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 No worries and thanks for the compliments guys. Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 No problem, and seriously, you have a great voice for the style of music you sing, keep up the great work! Link to comment
WiDeN Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 You don't mean a screamer, do you? Gah, that ruins music for me. Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 You don't mean a screamer, do you? Gah, that ruins music for me. No, god! Absolutely not! No, no, I'm looking for a person with a powerful voice with the ability to hit the highs if he has too. Like Bruce Dickinson I guess. But not just a pure screamer or growler, I'm not a fan of those styles of "singing". Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I wanna hear those tunes with a singer!! Hurry up and go find one! I'm working on it! Actually I found a guy who has a personal recording studio and he's in touch with a lot of musicians, I'm hoping I can meet a few of them. Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm angry today and I belted this out, it's a love song about redheads. It sucks, I know but I don't really care. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3nj26vCUQk Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 This one would be an instrumental either way, I wrote for my dog after she bit me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL7FBlGrTHA Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Got a new one, not my own, just a cover. Forever Rachel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQopWibht7k Link to comment
