One Man Metal Band - Fake Smile Revolution - My Blurred Future

This one was pretty difficult to "one take". I did't capture the 2nd guitar because it's the same as the first with a few exceptions.

Guitar and bass are directly recorded into a M-Audio Profire 610 and processed with VST-Amp simulation plugins (FreeAmp 3.6 + ReCabinet 3.0).

Vocals go through a t.Bone SCT 800 tube mic into a Studio Projects VTB-1. Pretty few VST's on the vocal channel, mainly compressor, doubler, eq and a little bit of reverb.

Drums are not triggered as many say in the commentaries :)
It's a mix of both. Drums are recorded by mics only (I counted 11). Then I software-trigger it with Drumtracker from Toontack and create a MIDI file. The final result is a mix of about 65% well mixed real drum sound from the mics and 35% Superior Drummer. That's what makes it sound that damn fat xD

Is my MIDI quantized?? NO! I can't do that because when I only quantize the MIDI file, it correlates with the sound from the mics (wich I strongly recommend to NOT quantize since it sounds horrible). Learn to play drums dudes :P

Synth sounds are only MIDI (created by mouse, not midi keyboard since I can't play piano). VST is only Sylenth.

Also this song was a little test about my vocals. I track very low and one track a little bit higher. The low one seems to fit my voice much more. Sounds definitly better and I will focus on it in my next songs.

holy crap that was impressive. Does this happen to be on iTunes?

[EYOUTz]

LOL at you man. I have a good ear for music and I can sing cleanly everything in my range, which is bass, with strength. I had multiple solos back in my high school choir. I've never had a lesson in my life, or even practiced. But I've been trying to scream for months, and I've just recently got the technique down for NOT destroying my vocal cords. As someone who can now do both fairly well, I gotta say screaming is harder for sure. Post a video response and prove me wrong if you can ;)
