My first attempt at recording a metal song
This is a pretty crappy first attempt at recording a metal song in reaper from a while ago, the only reason I am uploading this is because no matter what I do I always end up with an equally terrible sounding demo. any feedback is appreciated and don't roast too hard :D.
Well I wish some of my demo tracks sounded that "terrible"!
Only listening on crappy laptop speakers, but if anything I think there's a bit too much going on in some of the upper-mid frequencies - especially when the lead guitar comes in. It makes a lot of the drum track get lost a bit and lose some definition. I'd try some EQ tweaks, separate the drums a little more with divergent reverb times, and perhaps try a lead guitar tone with a markedly different timbre to the rhythm track.
Great stuff!
