  1. @Rodman I finally got some time to record my version of Heaven's on Fire. This one turned out to be really fun! Usually I record each part until I get a good take. This time I took a different approach this time and recorded it in sections. I got a drum track from Band in a Box, then I recorded the first verse on guitar, then recorded the vocals for it, and for some recorded a vocal "chorus" an octave higher. Then I did the same for the next section and so on. I put the solo in last, I fear it is just random flailing. I tried to tease around the resolving note and let it ring out at the end of the solo. Not sure how successful I was. I watched a video about fixing up vocals that the guy broke it up in sections, so I thought I would try that approach for my recording. The idea was that I would try to use an auto-tune plugin on it, but honestly it didn't make me sound much better, so I ditched it. I ended up with a chorus effect and a compressor on the vocals and that was it. I took a screenshot of the DAW for the video still, I wasn't feeling creative photographing the guitar, so I thought it interesting. I'm using Cakewalk which is now free.

  2. Hey all, As you can see there are large performance issues with the website. I'm fully aware as I get messaged about it from every source possible. With a full time job and as the only sysadmin this falls under as something only I can fix at the moment. I'm having a hard time narrowing the issue down as when the time outs start, there is no backend errors or severe load issues. The other issue is when prime-time (most users on the site) happens I'm usually asleep due to that I work night shift which makes it harder for me to see the issue. I understand everyone's frustrations, ignition4 was supposed to be the website that resolved all of the old websites problems. After the last website had a problem I was unable to revert, I was forced to upgrade the website to an unstable build Ignition4. Right now the search engine itself is stable however the server is not. So my plan for this week is to see the following: See if we require to upgrade our servers again (I am trying to avoid this 100% as our current dedicated server specs are solid) Look into PHP issues, consider switching engines again if that is the issue Check the MySQL configuration, improve and optimize it. Analyze error logs, slow queries Verify outside sources are not the problem (illegal scrapers, DDoS Attacks, etc) Resolve the issues above, or consider hiring expert help by paying them via a donation goal Please note due to COVID and other life issues that we are short-staffed. Right now if you don't count me we have 2 main developers for Ignition4/5, 1 developer for CFSM. I want this to be the best website possible. If you have advanced skills and the time available, please apply. https://forms.gle/NWzpZTpBTok5T5ER6 Info about the volunteer jobs: System Admin - This position you would be managing our cPanel server and configuring CentOS 7, MySQL, and Apache/PHP-FPM configurations.

  3. Thank you for your kind words. I think this is one of my better recordings. Green Day - Good Riddance, sounds good! I like that one. I don't really care for Green Day, but there are a suspicious number of songs they do that I do like. And I have to say, his lyrics are good and he does so much with simple three chord progressions. So maybe I do like Green Day.

  4. Thanks. I accept class up on Rhythm. However on bass i would stay on Beginner if you don't mind as most old songs I tried I got between 60 and 80%, so I don't feel comfortable enough there to compete.

  5. Good evening, long time no see. I tried Powerwolf tonight. I think the ratings are too high. I give Rhythm a 6 and Lead a 7.
