Kemper reamps for upcoming album

CyaeghaSteve · Feb 20th 2017

Here are some jams from my solo full length I am recording. All re-amped using an ENGL Invader profile from Rig Manager that I tweaked a bit to my liking. Hope you all dig it. Feedback is always appreciated!

I like it but my only gripe is the drums , the hihat down the middle is a tad bit too much for me (The nameless Terror). Killer riffs though nice and fast maybe boost the guitars a bit afterall the bass is there and cutting well so why not let the guitarrs do some work too?

CyaeghaSteve · Feb 20th 2017

Thanks for the feedback! I do agree with you there regarding the hi-hat. Any suggestions? I'm definitely still learning, so any suggestions regarding cymbals especially would be awesome.

MentaL · Feb 20th 2017

turn it down? i suck at drums

schreckmusic · Feb 21st 2017

Some killer stuff there brother! 1st song kinda reminded me of Nocturnus and the rest had a Bolt Thrower / old Morbid Angel vibe.

CyaeghaSteve · Feb 21st 2017

Thanks man. Definitely a lot of different flavors of death metal in there. I'm glad you like it, thanks for the feedback!

Great shredding, man.

Sounds pretty good for just starting.

Pan drums like your were sitting at the drum kit.

Hi-hat = somewhere around 10:30- 11 o'clock works well

CyaeghaSteve · Feb 22nd 2017

Thanks man. That's a good way to explain it. I'll have to experiment with that when I get home.

CyaeghaSteve · Feb 24th 2017

Tweaked the hi-hat a bit. Panned it a little to the left and brought it down some in the mix. I feel like it made the guitars stand out a little more as well. Thanks for the advice!

The biggest issue with the hihat is that all hits are the same velocity!
The velocity should be higher on the snare, and lower on the kick on the first beat in the song.
I'm a drummer too, so I know

The guitarwork is absolutely CRAZY dude.
Good middy sound too!

Thanks man. I haven't messed much with velocity. Should the velocity on the hats be different on each hit, or do you think possibly just alternating between two different velocities would suffice?

Here's a video for you where I explain
FIrst the twobeat and then the blastbeat

Love the butterknives!

With really fast midi programming, don't vary them too much or you will end up getting an almost phasey sound. It takes some experimenting as it greatly depends on which samples you are using.

The mix is sounding much better.

Thanks for the video dude! Also thanks for the advice everyone else as well. I'll certainly be doing some tweaking and I'll keep you all posted!

sercho · Feb 26th 2017

Awesome stuff!!!

Reminds me a lot of Necrophagist... I miss them!!

CyaeghaSteve · Feb 26th 2017

That's a hell of a compliment, thanks! I miss those guys too.

CyaeghaSteve · Feb 28th 2017

Here's a mid-paced, groovy one for you all. I really wanted chunkiness of the tone to shine on this one. I honestly wish I could go back in time to every recording studio experience I've had, and re-amp my guitars with my Kemper!

(I've lost most creativity for naming these songs. Luckily I have a vocalist coming in soon to help with that!)
