Thank you, you beautiful bastard!!!

To be clear....I didn’t do anything other than RTFM....and then tell these guys where to RTFM....specifically...and offer to answer any questions that may come up....there were none. This is the shizz!...
I'm here if you need me though ;)

@Thatbastarddon and @Ramo recently helped out @LRT and I with our recording setup...
It's been awhile, but here is tonight's fruit, flubs and all, but I think we are beginning to understand the basics

We're calling this one "The Mask"

I was not much of a help man :cool: :p

I can help with critique :pound-hand:

The song structure is good. The overall mix needs tweaking, put Bus compressor on the drums it and push the guitar bit up, and adjust the master vol. guitars sound a bit burred. I think if you add harmony that would be good too, you make one of the guitars harmonize and once harmony is finished it leads to the solo.

Sounds like you guys did single track recording of guitars one track each you and @LRT. double it up and pan them hard left-right to give you a bigger sound.

riffs are good and I like it, solo is good too.

you need Bob rock.

Pretty sure if someone told me to RTFM I’d be insulted. :pound-hand: :rolf:

But seriously. Great tune. Loved the beat. And just another reason we all love it here. We help each other. Support each other. Critique each other without fear of the other feeling insulted or hurt. In fact we seek the thoughts of others.

I did specifically tell them what pages of the manual to read. :rolf:

I'm hearing lots of influences and elements that I love, Slayer, Machinehead, Mastodon, even a little Prong if I dare to say so. I especially love that little Jerry style pentatonics in that one lick you tastefully tucked away in the solo parts.

Once you've gotten more familiar with tracking it gets quicker and easier. I would also suggest creating templates in Reaper for your specific setup so that you can just launch a new project and hit record without much fuss.

Bravo sirs, you're certainly on the path to reaping great rewards in music production. You guys are really good.

There's a TON of influences in this one, some of which you picked right up on! Good ear man!

You may need to teach me about bussing...I'm seriously very green at this entire recording business

You tried very hard to help us, and we thank you for it regardless of how far we did or didn't get. We were on the right track though!

Nah, Don was about as uninsulting as he could possibly be about it.

I did feel quite silly once I figured out what to do though lol!

Thanks!
