Description : This is my latest song (September 2010). Its still not fully complete, but it's getting there. I recorded this on my home computer with an Ibanez Jem guitar, RP-90 Digitech Effects Processor, EZ Drummer with Drums From Hell expansion, Korg Synths, and Ableton Live 8.
I like this one even more. In some ways your style reminds me of marty friedman and that's totally meant as a compliment.
The drum work is excellent with lots of variation and the faith no more style keyboard sound was a nice touch as well.
This one would have been a download had the option been there.
Hot stuff man!

This track is solid from top to bottom. No weaknesses anywhere. Drums sound like you were playing a real set, the guitar work is off the charts, and your synth work is stellar. It's hard to pick which instrument you play the best.....you excel at all of them. Top notch work on this one. You definitely have mad skills. I enjoyed the hell out of this one. Faved for sure.
Great guitar sound guitarjock...I'm always chasing tone.
You have a variety of guitar licks on this track and they all sound fantastic,very tasteful!You make it sound effortless,
well done.
P.S.Drums are always a problem for me and you have them down,I love the rolls and kicks.
Thanks Kikajon, ever since I got the EZdrummer software, I have finally been able to record the songs I have in my head. I'm not limited to the simple 4/4 timing found in most loops. I did notice that when mixed down to mp3, you do get a pretty big fidelity loss on the cymbals and hi hats. But the WAV file sounds great. I would absolutely recommend EZdrummer to anyone wanting that real sound for drum tracks. You should check out the youtube videos of people using EZdrummer and the Drums From Hell expansion; really cool stuff.
The drums sound great and read your response to Gord about using EZ Drummer. You aren't the first person I heard that likes them and they sound like real drums. Must look into those.
Your guitar playing is smoking, the arpegios were nice! Cool track man!
Thank you very much for the review. Yup, EZ Drummer is rather amazing. What's really cool is that you can download other midi drum tracks from different programs and then adjust them to fit your own songs. So if you are not great at increasing and decreasing the midi velocity levels, you may be able to find some pre mixed midis that work for your song. Really cool software.
Thanks man. I'm using EZdrummer with the Drums From Hell expansion. I absolutely love that software. I would love to get my hands on their Superior Drummer software, but EZdrummer's DFH expansion is amazing.

Great job on this guy! nice drum fills and a nasty guitar!real nice bridge also
American Iron Maiden here! Vocals would totaly kick ass on this!
love the double bass work also on the drum tracks!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm working on actually putting an ending on this song. I usually love to just cut out all sounds at the ends of songs. NOt sure why I like to do that. But I figure it's time I start adding real endings. I'm wanting to submit this one to the unoffical looperman mixtape that folks are putting together.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This is the 2nd cover of Big Audio Dynamite i done With my freind John. We both fan of the band so we decided to do a challenge and produce a serie of covers. we done 4 in one month. each track got it proper video check my youtube channel indiegroundvid

Your guitar is on fire and the drumming is flaming too! Some parts of the drumtrack sounds like Bill Bruford goes heavy metal.
It's a fav!
/pmk
p.s. The cymbals sounds a bit over the top i my head set – like a lo res mp3. Does not change the fact that I'm a bit envious of your skills.
Edit: Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
Your guitar playing is smoking, the arpegios were nice! Cool track man!
