Hi BR users,
Didn't have much time the last weeks but last monday I took my BR and recorded something.
It's not the final version, some things I want to change.
- During intro the 'fading guitar' needs less volume so must be remastered.
- Some error during playing (not on paper was more jamming with my self)
- Add some solo guitar futher on in song.
- During outro I want also add some solo guitar parts. (and maybe make the outro longer)
- And when I have a good mic. I also need to do some vocals
Oh I low this some much, recording my own ideas but time is not on my side right now.
F*^&ing busy with working. (what crisis ;D, hopefully I don't hurt anyone with this)
Feel free for comments so I can learn more about creating music and get even more out of the BR.
Regards,
Alex
Luv the layers of guitar work here lexman!! Nice n heavy with great distortion fx !!! Reminds me a bit of Dream Theater - would luv to hear some soloing & vox added - great job!!!
I think you are off to a really great start here! I'm with Satch the layers and different sounds really work in this. Good job!
Some volume adjustments here and there, and a bit of work on the drums (less volume, more reverb?) would hone this a bit. But you are well on your way - the guitars sound great, and you've layered everything very nicely. Very good playing and composition.
This is Great!
I'm not qualified to comment on what you should do, but I am qualified enough to say this is going to kick ass when its completed.
Drum has indeed too much volume.
Thanks for the reverb tip, gonna try it.

To be honoust, the intro is inspired by dream theater.
From maybe DT's best album Images & Words, pull me under.
Really well put together this, would love to hear it developed even further into a full song. Excellent playing throughout and has the makings of something really good with a few tweaks on levels etc.
Great post!!
nice dramatic build up-a great start
I think you've definitely got something here. Atmospheric. I like the build up at the start and then when the drums kick in. Cool.

Hi Greeny,
Yesterday I've played with the rhythm reverb, this gives more dynamics on the song.
Thanks for you advice in this.
Alex
Great start. This is gonna be a killer song !!!
Most is said about production I think, but what do you mean by :

I've tried to use the BR microphone but that sounded not good.
Thanks for the complement by the way
Well Done
this is well constructed and on its way to being a real killer!
Yes - Brilliant song in the works. It has some great guitar work and keeps your attention all the way to the end.
You got the skillz!! :D
BTW, I do agree with Geir, though. The MBR has a great built in condenser mic that works well with vocals. Almost everybody here uses it! It's a little tough getting the effects patches set up right, though. Lots of messing around...
Peace,
Mark

Mark,
I've tried yesterday the MBR mic but results where not satisfying.
How can I adjust the settings so the voice sound OK.
I've tried so sing right in front of the mic with dB on +6 (to hear the voice)
but I pic up everything I don't wanna pick up.
So I suggestion in this is very welcome.
Regards,
Alex
if you are having trouble hearing your voice when singing turn down the track volume levels, then when you have recorded the vocals to your satisfaction you can turn music tracks volume back up to get the mix you want. i find if the volume of the music i am singing to is really loud it helps to do that. also pan all the music so that there is space in the centre for a vocal to sit giving the voice and instruments seperation. hope thats of help.
oh by the way cool tune.
Hi all,
Lost in time is now in the next phase.
Some of your advices I've used (reverb on drum for example)
This gives really more dynamics on the song.
The big change is the outro, I've made it longer and add 2 guitar parts to it.
The solo part (simple solo wrt to what some of you can) is a little bit to loud
but to a copy and move action I've lost the original track so I can't master is
again....
Regards and thanks for all previos comments,
Alex
Hi all,
Updated in this version:
- Reverb on drum (was a good idea from ORH, thanks)
- The big change is the outro, I've made it longer and add 2 guitar parts to it.
The solo part (simple solo wrt to what some of you can) is a little bit to loud
but to a copy and move action I've lost the original track so I can't master it
again.... ???
Now busy with the vocal and than a bit soloing during the lyrics.
Thanks 64G for merging.
Smooth dreamy guitar work - intro ala Dream Theater !!! I like the guitar fx changes - keep it rockin - great arrangement - nice build up & fade !!!

Thanks Satchwood for the compliment.
I wish I had the skill you have on playing guitar.
I am more a rhythm player iso solo part.
My solo parts are most times based on pentatonic scales and these are not
the most difficult scales.
Alex
Maybe small changes, but a gig improvement!! You've got a really good song going on hear, and I look forward to getting the vox on this! Talking ORH's advice in turning down the other tracks while recording vox should help you getting that done.
The mix and production of this version is really good, and I do like that solo too!
