Hey everyone,
just lookin to get some props or constructive criticism on my mehtulz...i've had these songs up forever and some of you may have heard my music before, but i'd like to know good things and bad things about my recordings (i.e. what am i doing wrong and what am i doing right?). Here's the link: MySpace.com - Friend For A Foe [Has 2 New Songs!!] - VA Beach, Virginia - Metal / Hardcore / Rock - www.myspace.com/friendforafoe2

here's a basic overview...

Peacoat Mafia and Art From Chaos
- Schecter Omen 7
- Custom Schecter Stilletto 5 string bass
- PODXT Live

Surrender
- Gibson Les Paul Studio w/EMG 81 + 85
- Amplitube 2.0
- Guitar Rig 2.0

The rest of the songs (Reunion, etc) were with the Gibson and Guitar Rig 2.0

I'm constantly moving up production/equipment-wise as I now have a PODX3 Live and my Jeff Loomis Schecter is on the way (I already got some SD PII Blackouts here ) Once the loomis gets here i'll be posting up new material I've been working on (I may post some new stuff for the hell of posting it) and I'll also be rerecording everything with the PODX3 and Loomis. I've been desperately trying to find DKFHS online from a retailer that ships to the states, but no luck so far (if you want to sell your copy I will love you long time) so I'll be dealing with EZDrummer+DKFH in the meantime. Also if anyone is interested in doing vocals hit me up...i'm looking for a sort of cross between Mr.Greg Pope located in our forums and Periphery/bulb's old and new singer...anywho, thanks for your time and patience. keep it mehtul

see recording with you should be easy considering i used cubase sx3 and a podx3 live...i'm about to get a recording interface as we speak (or order one rather) so the quality of my music is going to be a hell of a lot better that it is now. i need dkfhs horribly though...i'm using ezdrummer with the dkfh addon. the only online retailers that still have some in stock only ship to uk addresses which sucks...other than that i've had no luck finding a copy anywhere

Dude, those recordings are great! Probably the best I've heard EZDrummer sound.

thanks man...i'm still working on some good EQ/Compression/Limiter presets so those recordings aren't what I have currently set up...i'll post a mix test in the near future. i need DKFHS severely (i'm gonna keep saying that lol)...somebody have a spare copy they wanna sell?
