    Ah man! Thank you so much! That one was really pushing my limits there..... i am learning so much doing that stuff... it´s incredible. It pushes my playing really. Any week i do a cover the song of the week seems clearer to play. Can´t wait to have you back full force here throwing in your covers and kickin some! For the HumbleBundle - thanks yeah that´s exactly from where i gotr modo drums and bass and all the phenomenal instrtuments from SampleTank 4.... I shall be throwing in some someday maybe.... Rod.

    very very cool songwriting. fake-complexity reminds me of playing Silvera from Gojira the first time (lead). wonderful
  4. Rodman
    wow lead is even harder. That song id great - made it straight to my favs
  5. Rodman
    Ah.. thx! complexity or random miss of structure The bassRodman here - ok ... yeah. Yeah - i gotta start panning PARTS of tracks - that´s what i am missing myself a bit, sometimes throwing the lead in the middle when there is no vocals or something. Vocal solo - sure - when you are performing lowlevel - do it proud like god Wow you heard the under the bridgeguy there - yes, he is. I really had to rush rush rush and finish cause i wanted today and tomorrow to compete. Vocals should have been cloaked with a ton of effects ... but sorry i somehow never do that.. probably a note to myself to keep working on those lazy untrained vocalcords of mine.... idk Guitar in the beginning... yeah - a part i know how to prodice by now - 2 guitarlines panned extremely to opposite directions... they both get ALSO sent to reverb/delaytracks panned to the OTHER opposite direction.... creating so much room in the middle. How long did it take to make yours - it´s so cool! Rod

  7. Rodman

  8. Rodman
    wow - quite some energy there in that song... opposite that i remember from the boys seing them live quite a few times... hmmm cool not easy on sightread
  9. Rodman
    well.... @ drand you scarelessly open doors i would not have come close oh boy oh boy... Now that was really really a lot of work, like 10 hours, and i´ve been rushing every bit there Bah - a whole song with a ton of guitar lines, bass, drums, quite some parts and haaaard lyrics... no i didn´t strip it down in no way So ..... that´s already quite a project .... 13 tracks needed. What did i do? Check the tabs .... go to sleep desperate. Dreams about arpeggiounicorns that drop the riders over and over... Midi drumline for a start.... and started recording Clean Guitars.... Bass.... Lead Guitars ... Rhy Guitars .... Missing parts I followed the original tabs closely until the end, there i had to do some stuff of my own. Vocals Pah.... before i even started to do recordings my voice began do decay .... really really hard there. Threw that all into Reaper, heavy mixing - panning on the guitars that are doubled most of the time (not copied, played twice) to open the space for teh voice, experiments on the drums - ended up using that wonderful IK Modo Drums Plugin - chose the Studio Kit for that one. About no effects used, i really should on the vocals maybe, yeah. A lil mastering (mainly keeping all safe below cliping) Enjoy and hit me hard Rod.

    Well on my side i´ve been challenged to do a cover of a whole complete song brrrrrr. Scary and timeconsuming
  11. Rodman
    Are you kidding me! HOW! What a cool groove carrying me through that song - i absolutely don´t know the original - and i don´t think i have to ..... but i think come close to your quality work there will be more than a challenge.... however see us suffer and fail!!! BRAVO COVER OF THE WEEK IS CLEARLY CALLED: THREE DAYS GRACE - GET OUT ALIVE
  12. Rodman
    Oh thank you! Please keep that coming!!!!!! 1) No - that was on purpose ... it´s one verse and one chorus - we play guitar here so you will be hearing guitar. That the minute there feels a bit long is the tribute to purifying it to 4 chords. I normally would have played the signature piano melody there - but as stated above experiment was as tiny as possible. 2) Yes - and as she sang after i did the guitar recording that would have meant going back to the starts which is always an option. Thx for having good ears and lending them. 3) checking whats on there... small project overall on the vocals there is only subtle mixing with a bit of reverb also Mastering is also subtle mainly avoid clipping and background noises, and a bit of finetune Yeah... i´m only starting on all that - i shall try to push on vocal effects a bit Thx R.
  13. Rodman
    Hahahaha.... well it was in the middle of the night and i had to be quiet - so i quietly recorded 3 vocal lines - a "normal" one, a really high one and a growling/shouting one.... as soon as i accepted i was in the shit i was freeeee so the growling one that would have never made it - made it to the show Yap and thank you - the solo there is my ankor also - it get´s even more impressive when you listen that there are 2 guitars (seperate left and right speaker) and they play very very much the same in the solo section. Not all hope is lost Rock hard and give us new covers soon!!! Rod

  18. Rodman
    cool song
  19. Rodman
    ok... definitely a few big lessons learned.... LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK - BAD RECORDING! So... i only share this because it holds important educational info for me, and i spent 10 hours or so that week trying to somehow get things together there. Failed. Well, that song caught me, and after spending those hours competing on it i could play the riff, the rhyrthm, the bass quite well, everything except the solo (which does in no way matter here). So before going to sleep i just hit record, did 2 or 3 takes on lead, 2 on rhythm, 2 on bass playing along with RS and sang some bad lyriclines for fun.... and was happy. When i sat down that changed .... Recording without starting clicks makes it a pain pain pain to sync the START of each track - when things start late (bass, vocals) and you have a song that has no (like here) clear 1-beats to hold on you are out in the shit from the beginning... i think it was 2 hours until i THOUGHT i had the tracks matched up.... then i added drums and was very very unhappy how not in tempo my guitar lines and even more the bass were thats because there was NO METRONOME while recording .... playing along RS made me think i am quite well following the rhythm, and as i am playing over my amp with hearable volume all the time - live it sounded really ok - but matched with any 2nd track it´s unusable to have a synced recording. Brrrrrr. So i tried everything - low volume bass, rhythm, with any of the lead tracks - no decent result whatsoever possible. Sometimes i´m late, sometimes i am way earlier than the other track... ok - so to close the file i downmixed (no effects, no mastering or whatever) 2 lead guitar lines with vocals and drums, (and a bit brass at the end) to always remember RECORD WITH METRONOME START YOUR RECORDING WITH WHATEVER CLICK OR NOISE SO THE TRACKS CAN EASILY BE MATCHED Rod.

    No doubt about that!

    updated with @Daz40 OzzGuitar Excercises! Thx m8
  22. Rodman
    NO! I made them in so many speeds so you don´t need the Riff-Repeater. Just put them in the dlc folder (you can use a shred subfolder if you like), they will show up and - the upside of not RR-ing is they will show you your progress by acc% Rock and tell us about your progress! Rod.
  23. Rodman
    Sure thing - keep us updated - maybe you can share a video of where you are right now for motivation and from time to time track the progress showing us your fingers fly over the fretboard! Rock, Rod.

    For your last part i just wanted to point out / make sure you know there is a list with all all all all all all ever ever played songs in the CS with difficulty rating. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HzgY90kLwyGqzJ-R64v8lmpeQMMhhxwGwUlenepIgms/edit?pli=1&gid=714157890#gid=714157890 nicely sortable by diff class or diff rating each class, updated every week Most important points yes - to point out - you will not progress in days or single weeks, it´s multi-months - so you gotta fond a routine that is FUN also while practicing or you will stop. So - playing the Championships plus downloading and doing an hour of Shred excercises from here: -= Rodmans Shred Course =- (i am also trying to collect other charters files there, hope i will update that weekend thx @ Daz40 ) ... is a very good start or even routine forever. Youtube might help as well as distract you (there is a flood out there), a teacher might help but does not take away the practice you gotta do every day. You need to make the way your goal. Rod.
