Ok so I did it on fl studio with guitar sounds but I've always wanted to shred a real guitar like this.

Tabs please. :)

It's a nice song, other than the cheesy synths and all. I'd prefer a score, so I could do this on piano though, guitar arps aren't really my thing, evidenced by my previous submissions. Anyway, after a while, it gets pretty catchy. :)

Keyboard guitars

These sound like very cheesy keyboard guitars. and the after effects kinda support my assumption.

it was done on fl studio, with cheesy guitar sounds in literally a few minutes... I wonder how it got so popular. with the most downloads and listens out of all my crap. wait maybe its the brilliant chord proggression, awsome phrasing, and nearly thirty seconds of face melting solo. I heard it in my head, had to make it, its that simple. I challenge anyone to recreate this on a real guitar, because I'm not that skilled to play a guitar like that, but its completely possible. that would be so awsome would it not? I would be happy to make tabs for anyone interested in the challange.

i might be just me...

this kinda sounds like Dragonforce/Dream Theater (But thats just me)

My review, your clip.

Be sure your various instruments have matching or in tune semitone variations from one another.

Set each instrument to their own mixer channel so you can compress them. A lot of metal is often very heavily compressed to get this sort of unchanging/never ending flow of volume type of sound.

On your lead with about a .5 delay 15-25% reverb addition will probably buff it up, widen the sound, and make it a bit more organic.

Play with volume dynamics so the notes rise and swell a little, and so the strum repeats on the guitars aren't machine gunning.

The writing itself is interesting and nicely lined up.

Instruments could use mixer tweaking to get a better/more guitar like sound. Basically if you send your insturments to a channel with reverb to soften the decays of the instruments, chain those to another channel and apply some form of amp or distortion, they will sound far far superior.

CheckMark responds:

sweet I touched it up a little, and added dynamics, but cant figure out how to reverb...
