-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

I still have pretty much no idea what to do with tones (especially for guitar, since I don't have one). If anyone could advise on the most common types of adjustments (EQ, pedals, whatever) that would be a great help!

 

I recently (as of Feb. 2016) started adding the notes.eof files to my download folders. For some of the older ones I think the .ini files were different which can cause the sync to get screwed up, so I'll try to update the older ones (I'll probably be wanting to do serious updates to lots of my older CDLC anyway). So far, my Blotted Science, Between the Buried and Me, Coroner, HeXeN, Nevermore, Skeletonwitch, Streetlight Manifesto, Testament, Vektor, and Warbringer customs have the notes.eof file in the download folder.

 

See here for the basics of how to set things up so you can use the notes.eof files.

 

Finished CDLC (organized roughly by genre):

I haven't done every custom by every band listed here, which should hopefully be obvious. Just that I've done at least one by each band (I'll try to add the exact number I've done in parentheses). If I feel a band belongs in multiple categories, I'll put them in multiple times.

AND SOME MORE HOLY MOLY

J ROCK!

You should ask earth2mars

Hey man thank you for the Clutch songs you have done!  This is my first CDLC Sea of Destruction Let me know what you think.  Are there other Clutch songs you are working on?

Have you ever heard of Witchery? I looked to see if there were any tracks here on The Forge, but sadly found zero. Then I remembered my good pal albatross213 and his amazing Skeletonwitch & Vektor tracks! Anyhow I've been really digging the latest album by Witchery, "In His Infernal Majesty's Service". Check it out if you haven't and if you feel the urge to make any tracks, I wouldn't mind one bit. ;)

@@okewlie - I've heard of the band, but I don't think I've checked them out substantially. I'll see if there's something I like amongst the things that have been tabbed out so far... (none of the tabs I can find have bass, but hopefully that won't be a huge obstacle).

If you are still active I would love to see some more Dimmu Borgir on here and ANY song from Vital Remains-Icons of Evil, or ANYTHING from Deicide-In the Minds of Evil. Thanks.

Excellent collection of tracks&superb work & skill in making all these custom tracks! Many Thanks :)

Xacuit

incredible amount of CDLC and a nice assortment of artists

 

thank you very much for your work

So, I've been away for a while. Sorry about that.

 

Anyway, for CDLC creation purposes I'm probably going to transition to mostly (but not entirely) doing my own bass transcriptions for some bands I'd like to see. So, my apologies to guitarists who might like to play those songs, but most of the songs will have pretty interesting basslines and should be pretty enjoyable when played using emulated bass.

@@albatross213 - great that you are back!!!

Thx for 700+ CDLCs of top notch quality so far.

 

Really also looking forward for that bass only stuff of yours.

 

Rock!

Leprous - Forced Entry would be very nice! It's just Prog Bonkers

You gonna do the two big daddy THICC Wobbler songs "From Silence to Somewhere" and "Hinderland"? "The Gates of Delirium" by Yes would be great too on bass!! Thanks!!

@@SedentarySeal - I'd like to do them eventually, but it's kind of hard to justify focusing on them in the near future when they're songs that will take many hours to complete and aren't super popular. I do have the beatmaps done and GP files set up, though, so if you think you can offer any help with the transcribing I can send the files your way.

Have you considered doing some stuff from the new Sword album? 

 

Either way, Love your stuff, Kinda wish you'd do more Stoner stuff, but your charts are a ton of fun. Been a fan for a while. :)

Your persona work is amazing!  Any chance at Signs of Love from Persona 4, Kimi No Kioku from persona 3, or the reincarnation version of your affection from persona 4?  Loving everything you've made so far!

Yeah honestly you're right, They would be a bitch to transcribe, I love what you do though prog is extremely fun to play on bass :)

Automata I official tabs here, if you want them for your back pocket or anything
