music is free as always
*also for those few users who've heard track 2 already, I updated the ending to include more harmonies to add to the dynamic feel, again I'm really happy about how track 3 came out |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | also, I should have mentioned, I've uploaded the lyrics for all the songs as well |
Evreaia
01.17.13 | awesome as fuck |
Evreaia
01.17.13 | vocals are great, damn reminds me of chuck
seriously |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | thanks bro!
ever since I started practicing death vox they have always been inspired by Chuck, I don't try to forcefully make them sound like Chuck but they actually randomly just come out that way haha |
MetallicOpeth
01.17.13 | will check soon |
Evreaia
01.17.13 | prospect is really really cool, keep these songs comin |
oltnabrick
01.17.13 | cool songs mane |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ mo - cool bro no rush, I can def see u diggin the third track when you get around to it, for some reason I thought about you a few times when I was writing it and I remembered the music you and your band made a while ago
@ Ev - man that's really cool you enjoyed it! Yup, I only have 4 more tracks left to write for this album and then it'll be done. This isn't even the half way point yet so I'm assuming when it's fully done it'll be quite a lengthy LP.
@ oltnabrick - cool, thanks bro |
oltnabrick
01.17.13 | are you going to make a full album? |
oltnabrick
01.17.13 | nm u answered that |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ oltna - yup, I created a list a while ago which has the full lp track listing. check it out:

Atari
01.17.13 | sweet bro i'll check it out tonight |
Keyblade
01.17.13 | can't wait to hear these. loved the first track. |
Havey
01.17.13 | already heard Prospect cuz i checked ur bandcamp a couple o days ago, but i'll listen to the updated version and track 3 when i've got the time |
JamieTwort
01.17.13 | Sweet, already heard Prospect which is great but I'll listen to both tracks so I can here the updated ending and how it flows into the next one. I'll be sure to give you some feedback once I've listened. |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ atari - cool bro hope it satisfies you like a well deserved dessert ;]
@ Key - sup nig, thanks bro, if i know ur tastes u'll def dig track at the very least, maybe :]
@ havey - swee, the structure is the same but you'll notice the ending will sound much diff due to the added harmonies, trems inspired by nattens madrigal
@ JT - sup bro, that would be awesome, your word is always solid bro, I def hope you dig bro *gulp* |
Wolfhorde
01.17.13 | Sweet so far, checking out track 2 now. |
alachlahol
01.17.13 | red sky at night sailors delight
red sky in the morning sailors take warning
lol |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ wolf - awesome!
@ alachlahol - rather than leaving your expected 'wise' comments, it would be nice if you actually listened to the songs |
Wolfhorde
01.17.13 | You have programmed drums, right? Because it kinda sounds like it. Drums are a bit stale sometimes but apart from that both tracks are sweet. |
GiaNXGX
01.17.13 | awesome muffin |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ wolf - yes sir, the drums are programmed but on track 3 I manually did the cymbals on my keyboard and played along to the track because it would be so tedious to add all those clashes by program, yea programmed drums can be that way but I don't have a drummer so I have to make due with what I have, but thanks bro!
@ gian - muffin stuffin/ |
GiaNXGX
01.17.13 | fantastic songs dude you're killing it |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | thanks Gian! that means a lot bro, as mentioned above I have 4 tracks left to go for this album and the lyrics all already done and written out, I just need to write the actually songs. but I enjoy doing it in chronological order as it allows my creative juices to recuperate before each writing session, I think the LP will be over an hour in length once its fully done but hopefully, as my intentions are, it will flow as if its only 30 min. in length. if that makes sense |
insomniac15
01.17.13 | The songs are carefully crafted. Even if it's not my thing, it sounds cool. |
SgtPepper
01.17.13 | Damn "Red Sky" is a brilliant track. I love the guitar work especially, both the heavy side as well as the mellow midsection. It's pretty well constructed overall. This is going to be really great album when it's done. |
YoYoMancuso
01.17.13 | fuck yeah, can't wait to jam |
YoYoMancuso
01.17.13 | holy shit Red Sky is perhaps your best song yet. That RIFF |
ViperAces
01.17.13 | damn i already knew track 2 so i thought there will be 3 and 4 now |
sideburndude
01.17.13 | Red sky ruled
Although I would love to hear this with a drummer
|
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ insom - thanks bro, haha I think I've always heard you mention something like that but the cool thing is that you still enjoyed, that's an accomplishment for me because I obviously want to share my music and being that it was enjoyed by someone who may not always enjoy this sort of thing is awesome
@ Paper - hey bro. Thanks! That really means a lot. I've always appreciated your varying taste in music and I'm glad the heavier parts in opposition to the softer parts weren't off-putting. Thanks again, I hope I don't let you down when the rest of the tracks are written. My goal would be to keep you on your toes and if I can possibly do that it'll make me happy :]
@ Yoyo - thanks bro! I'm really proud of that track. it def has more riffs side by side in a dm manner than anything I've done before so anyone who digs dm should def enjoy that song, so I'm really glad you did too! |
evilford
01.17.13 | sweet dude, will def jam when I get a chance |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ Pest - thanks bro that awesome, I'm glad it fits in your daily repertoire like that, thanks a lot maines m/
@ Viper - haha yeah bro I know you and only a few others heard track 2 already and since all I've completed was just track 3, I'm currently writing track 4 right now. Given that I have a family I can't work on music as much or often as I'd like to but I love my fam so its a worthy sacrifice but in due time all will be done. Perhaps you will be glad to know that as I've been working on this album I've been writing other songs at the same time which I've recorded so once this album is done, another ep release will be right around the corner as well as music from another project that I'm doing too
@ sideburndude - thanks bro, yeah if thats one thing that I could change it would be having a solid real drummer because you can only go so far with programmed drums so I fully agree, I wish I had those resources, I know a few drummers but they're really busy married men and I don't thing they have the necessary recording gear to begin with, so in the future I plan on buying a full drum set and just doing the drumming myself once I can afford it, thanks for listening bro |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | swee ford, you will def dig track 3 hard, if you like Chuck and Death then you're game |
ViperAces
01.17.13 | cool bro, i really dig the vox btw
they are kinda chuck-ish |
bowlofsoup
01.17.13 | I liked that last album of yours too, so this should be pretty sweet. Will listen after class. |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ vip - thanks bro, chuck-inspired hard
@ bowl - thanks man I didn't even know you heard the last one. Well cool. This new LP is and will be once its done, way different than the last. The last was more prog-rock but this new one will incorporate many more elements such as metal, skits, spoken dialogue, and other genres as well. I hope you dig it bro |
angrypittsburghdad1
01.17.13 | Both these songs rule Captain, awesome job with both the guitar work and vocals, I dig the clean vocals alot more on this than your previous album. The screams are sick. Would be better with some legit drumming but it's still great. This is wack btw. |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ angry - cool thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and the vox too, btw I'll be updating the mix on the first lp's vox to make them fit better in due time so stay tuned for that if you wish to hear it in better form. also, 'This is wack', sorry didn't understand what you meant by that |
Havey
01.17.13 | wack = wacknizzle? |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | oh yeah, thanks Havey, I remember now. Sorry wack I didn't know it was you, yeah I heard bro, I'm sorry that happened, hope to see you back up and running soon bro m/ |
angrypittsburghdad1
01.17.13 | Thanks man. Hopefully today or tomorrow, it's been 2 weeks now so I should get my account back soon. Keep up the m/, your stuff kicks ass for being just you, I'd be awesome if you started a band. |
SgtPepper
01.17.13 | I'm looking forward to writing about it. It seems to have a good balance of Prog and death/black metal, so its definitely going to be interesting. You're a pretty talented dude, so I know you wont disappoint. |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ wack - thanks man, yeah I wish I could form a band. It would, however, take up so much time away from my fam though so I doubt that would happen anytime soon, I used to be in a band a while ago and actually had the priviledge of playing live which was cool but that was before I had my son. But I'm happy I can at least write music and produce it still with little means so I'll just have to be happy with what I can do. but ya never know what the future holds
@ Paper - thanks bro, yea I like several different styles of music so I've always wanted to incorporate all of them in my works so I'm glad its clicking for you. Also, thank you a bunch for staying reserved for the writing process. I know it can be tiresome to be writing all the time but you seem to really enjoy and I appreciate you for being so kind as to keep me in mind. dam I would review anything you did bro which wouldn't even compare to all you've done for me, you're a good friend bro |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | thanks bro, I really glad you dug the cleans, the fourth track I'll be working on with have plenty more cleans so hopefully you'll dig
I know the first LP wasn't the best representation of my cleans but I am to put my full potential and more into the cleans on this album as well as mixing them as perfectly as possible, thanks again bro! and dam 'beautiful'? i think you just touched my heart |
DarthMann
01.17.13 | u suck but u make damn good music so ill check it out |
DarthMann
01.17.13 | the intro to track 3 kinda sounds disjointed man, the mix is fucked up and timing seems like a small problem, also yeah drums :, but musically its very good and your vocals sound really good (nearly exactly like chuck, which if u got big people would give u heaps of shit for but fuck it they sound good)
will check the other one |
DarthMann
01.17.13 | the violin in prospect is pretty bad, have you tried using soundfonts? theyre really helpful for orchestral stuff, besides that (and of course the horrible drums + mix a little too muddy) prospect is awesome |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ darth - thanks for the honest feedback, I appreciate the kind words. I'm not a professional mixer by any means but am trying to do it to the best of my ability. You mentioned the mix is messed up, do you have any suggestions to make it better?
'have you tried using soundfonts?'
I've never heard of that. Would you be able to explain or show me where I can learn how to use that? The violin is a synth on my keyboard.
The drums are programmed and I know I can't make them click like professional drums so until I get a real drummer they'll be programmed at best so sorry that doesn't work for you. But hey glad you dug prospect bro! |
DarthMann
01.17.13 | i dug the other one too bro
um what do u use to make all of this (ableton, pro tools, logic etc)
yeah i know man thats why it wasnt a big critique of mine |
DarthMann
01.17.13 | also with the mix it felt the bass/low end in the guitar and the bass was too high which made it really muddy imo, mightve been my speakers though so you dont really need to mess with it too much if thats the case |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | cool man :], I use sony acid 7 to mix everything and lay down tracks
I use line 6 pod farm pre-amps for all guitar and bass
Ah I see what you mean with the mix. Yeah I like having that medium where the bass is actually fully audible. I played it in my car speakers and I actually had to turn up the bass a bit so you may have had the bass/low end too high on your speakers. I've found that having the bass only a tad bit above mid level and the treble a tad above too should work great. Although, every speaker system is different of-course. The cool thing about having the bass present at mid-level is you can always reduce bass but if there is hardly any bass, it's hard to attain it again through eq, which is why I have it that way. Hope that helps bro |
DarthMann
01.17.13 | ahh i have no idea about acid, sorry man, but google is your friend
so you use virtual amps as opposed to a real one? i do that too but sometimes they piss me off
hmm im not very good (like at all) with mixing but I see what you mean , it may very well be my speakers |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | yeah i'll have to look that up to see what it offers
yup virtual cuz its way cheaper, I have a few analog ones but the virtual ones are so much easier and convienant, but yea the virtual ones do need some tweaking that for sure, to get the sound you want |
Ovrot
01.17.13 | So when are you going on tour? |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | haha i'm a one man band bro so not anytime soon. plus i got a fam too so I wouldn't want to spend too much time away from them. However playing local might be something to do in the future if I can get a group together, but it's not priority. But if that does happen it would be cool to have it filmed and uploaded to youtube so everyone else can see in other parts of the world |
North0House2
01.17.13 | Freaking awesome. As always. |
bowlofsoup
01.17.13 | Yeah, these were pretty awesome. I like the addition of the harsh vocals, and your cleans also sound better than in your first album. Prospect was sweet. |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | @ north - thanks bro, glad u enjoyed it. Also, not sure if you got my post under your album review but I was able to check it out and it really struck a chord with me. Really good work and the album flow is superb. Keep up the awesome work. You're a fantastic song writer and I'm not just saying that.
@ bowl - thanks man, it's amazing what a suitable recording location and mixing can do. I agree, I felt they were much better too. I'm not sure if u knew the story on the vox in relation to the first album but basically where I lived at the time I couldn't record full volume but now that problem is fully fixed now so I really have no excuses for the vocal performances from here on out so I hope my future clean vox recording will continue to be to your liking, thanks again for listening bro |
bowlofsoup
01.17.13 | I didn't know that about the last album, but I can definitely hear the difference. Looking forward to the rest of this. |
CaptainDooRight
01.17.13 | cool well thanks man I hope to have it all done hopefully in a few months |
mindleviticus
01.17.13 | these are really good man :]
man, I need to get off my ass and make some new stuff
|
CaptainDooRight
01.18.13 | haha yeah man that's always the hard part, I can't tell you how many times I looked back and was like dam I coulda done so much more back in the days. But at least you have a foundation already bro. I've been craving that rain music you did that one time. Haha u know what I like, naturistic ambience, I know you'll get some stuff together soon. Hey thanks for giving the new tracks a listen bro :] |
