The Post Your Own Music Thread

Here is a little something I made yesterday. Don't expect good sound: there are people who know how to record, engineer and turn sound knobs... I'm not one of them! ;) This is a basic Audacity job. I wish the solo in particular (a bit rushed recorded by the way) had turned out more heavy sounding.

Feel free to come up with lyrics if you feel inspired. ;)

Still looking for musicians in my area to form a real band to play that and have it recorded properly.

I dig it. Sounds very 70's.

Thank you! ;) Actually, I think the inspiration behind this is -apart from Maiden after the second chorus- Europe's "Days of Rock n Roll"... the first working title was "Months of Salsa" by the way. :D Thin Lizzy is also an influence although I don't know this band as well as the other two mentionned.

I'm currently using the demo version of FL Studio to broaden my knowledge about audio production. The demo does have its limitations, mainly in that I can't open saved files until I've bought the real deal. Anyway, it was fun making this little snippet of an idea that I first had on guitar. This DAW stuff is very interesting but there's a crapton to learn.

I just recorded me playing Powerslave. This was just a test upload to see what people think of it. I recorded the song with my iPhone as it is my best camera and has the best mic too. The guitar part was played through my amp, and the Rhythm parts were played through my Bose computer speakers. The sound result is okay, but I wished I would have turned up the rhythm parts a bit more, as the guitar really drowned the sound out a little bit too much. In the future I would love to do more covers and put them on youtube, my next planned cover is The Red and the Black or Phantom of the Opera.
Tips or suggestions would be appreciated to help improve the quality of my videos! With that being said here it is!

 
Just released a silly little EP with my fiance and our random band, Abandom!

Nice work, Saap! I like how you used your own phrasing for Adrian's solo, sounds quite interesting. Also, that addition at the end instead of the repeat of the first theme is awesome!

EDIT: LOL at the Petrucci ending!

Just those last four notes - sounds very classical, then the short emphasis on the whammy bar on the final note. It reminds me of a Petrucci song ending on some of their big, major-key ballad songs. Not sure why, but it does.

Yeah, I bet there is influence on his side in there. Also, the quick semi-tone bend on 14 into the whammy'd 12 at the end is an absolutely fabulous phrasing technique I've learned from Petrucci and Sfogli. One of the best examples I've heard of it is in the video below @5:46, using a quick slide instead of a bend but the point is the same:

Nice work Saap!

Unrelated to this recent video but what do you use to program drums in your originals?

Thanks. I haven't programmed any drums in a while but in the past I've used Soundation and Audiosauna. I grew tired of spending hours creating tracks with free samples, though. I would like to make songs in a high-quality DAW but I have yet to buy one. That said, free websites such as the ones I named are a great starting point.
 
I actually have a DAW installed on my PC (Cubase Pro 8) but I have fuck all knowledge about it so I want to start simple.

Though I'm not sure if I'll ever get my bass sound to be above average so programming might not even come to the mix in the near future at all.
