So, this is my first time making "real" music, and this, specific "real" genre, is heavy metal. I love this type of music, I've tried many times to make it myself, but it always comes out badly. This, did not! It has a guitar solo, mainly real sound (only electronic sounding sound is a square synth made with massive.)

The real secret to making a good heavy metal song is about five years of experience making heavy metal music. Once you cross that threshold I can assure you that writing heavy metal songs get's kinds of easier. Seriously though, I loved to hear your attempt to bring the sound out even if you aren't metal mozart. Experimentation is key to getting better at art or music. Wish I still had that kind of energy in me but most of my crap these days is the same old bull shit.

If your still going to make this kind of music you should listen to other artists in the metal category that are doing the same thing. Ask them how to properly mix some of your sounds. I might not be a metal person but I'd recommend sidechaining the bass with the drum kit to help de-mud some of the mix. Growing up, newgrounds let me collaborate with all kinds of people and I'd be shocked if that resource dried up. Don't be afraid to reach out to people! The next metal track you output could be a collaboration with someone who has the same program as you. I've done that with StanSB, Sessilenomad, Sinerider... I'm sure a few others too but I'm forgetful in my old age.

Keep up the good work Razor!

Yeah. I don't usually stick with ONE kind of music, I may never pick a genre. My mixing skills are kind of a work in progress. I have a long way to go, and I know it. I'm going to keep trying, and it's comments like these that keep me going. The fact that people with way more musical experience than me atleast think my music isn't just ugly-noise-stuff is absolutely amazing. Thanks. This comment means things to me. I will certainly keep the good work.
