Great playing Mathias. Although the sound was pretty crappy. I would suggest way less mids, and maybe a little less bass.

:thumb:

The funny thing is the mids were already fairly scooped. I definitely need to turn the bass down some though, you're right about that. The bass kind of breaks up the recording. Course, its not going to be great quality considering my setup, unless I can record at my drummer's place. That might not be possible for a while though.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

ahhh, I figured the mids would be way up. haha. I guess more treble in that case. What is your setup?

I suggest trying the DS – 1 Distortion Pedal by Boss, it can provide a great range of tones, especially for thrash metal and when you’re playing through a tube amp it’s great as a pre-amp.

It’s not that toneless fuzz distortion that takes away musically like many pedals a la Metal Zone. The tone know on it will allow u to boost your treble or bass cutting the other end of the EQ ranging from many different tones. Just try it out at a music shop, and it’s a steal for 70$, you can do so much with this pedal.

Also I’m seeing Megadeth on the Gigantour! I can’t fcuking wait! Anyone else going?

There's one of my attempts at Take No Prisoners, its not perfect, and the tone takes away from the piece a little bit. I'm going to record some more takes, but if someone wants to record drums or bass or whatever, that one will work.

I really screwed up the first two phrases of the solo :lol: That bend is so off :lol:[/QUOTE]

Some of the rythm parts were a little off. And it seems like there's a little bit of clipping going on, turn down your levels... Other than that, wow.. I wish I could play like you

I have one, and believe it or not the tone was much worse using it.

Schecter C-1 Classic --> Line 6 Spider II --> Mic Input

Yeah, now I realize how important a Compressor is. I'm going to record some more takes today and try to clean it up a bit.

Yeah there is clipping. Too much bass I think is the problem. But that was kick *** man.
Was it you that said they were going to sing Knifeboy?

There's one I did today. I cut back on the bass and mids a bit, and gave a slight boost to the treble. Let me know what you think of it. I'm still not 100% satisfied with my playing though, but it'll come.

Listening to it...
The tone is much much better...
The playing is pretty amazing but it has some minor rough areas...
Overall its really good.

Mustaine uses a tone with lots of mids, so if that helps, that's good.

On another note, good news and bad news:

Good News: I now have the adapter to record, so no problems there.

Bad News: My pick skills are in disarray and TNP is harder than anticipated. I'm pulling double duty with Opeth, and they have the higher priority. [B]So[/B].....my bass tracks will be up on Wendesday or Thursday.

EDIT: I would download that recording Mathias, but I'm on dialup, and that file is pretty big. Could you compress it or something.

Much appreciated.

Face in the Sky said he could do the bass parts, so if that's going to be a problem for you, you could pass it off to him.
[quote]The playing is pretty amazing but it has some minor rough areas...[/quote]
Yeah, there are a couple sloppy spots, I might try to clean it up some more, especially the second part of the solo. But if someone records other parts on there I can live with it.

I'm starting to record Holy Wars tonight too, I'll probably have a recording up either tonight or tomorrow. I had one recording where I nailed Mustaine's solo, but tried to improvise Marty's clean one and failed miserably :lol:

I have good news. My cousins mom(my aunt) might give me a free ticket for the gigantour. If not then I'll just buy one myself.





(worthless post.)

Grr, I really wanna hear Mathias :p
But 18mb.. :o
Compress...!!

I'm listening to Holy wars... i'd say they're one of the best thrash bands easily!

They're not that heavy in my opinion but the lead guitar is good, and the riffs are quality.

can you guys pull off Five magics?

**** yeah
 

yeah they're tour i bet you ****ers are happy. but you know dream theater is going to blow them off the stage. megadeth doesn't even have an original member besides dave mustaine and he's crippled. so **** it. they're both getting the same set length

Crippled? What the hell are you talking about? Why would you come to the Official Megadeth thread if you don't like Megadeth? Just doesn't make sense to me. :confused:

I'm seeing them with Dream Theater Aug. 6th.

Mustaine basically is and always was the band so it hardly matters.

Mathias I'm not doing the vocals, you must have been confused. I was just asking if Knifeboy was doing them.

Fu[b][i][/b][/i]ck you, crippled? Thinking of Becker? Who by the way still pwns Petrucci even without muscular function. Dream Theater's live show [i]is[/i] crappy, Alexi was right. I almost hope I'm going to one of the Anthrax shows.

I posted an mp3 of my Holy Wars in the thrash thread. I'll convert Take No Prisoners to mp3 later today. My monitor display is fu[b][i][/b][/i]cked right now, don't know what the problem is.

Considering the new deadline is August 1st, its definitely a possibility.

Ah, that's what I was thinking of. My bad.

The Holy Wars you did was good but you played it too fast. :)
You should try to something new too, like Back In The Day or The Scorpion.

[QUOTE=RustedPieces]The Holy Wars you did was good but you played it too fast. :)[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I know. I didn't play along with the song, so the timing was bound to be messed. Obviously I'm going to re-record it, just wanted to get a rough one out there to see how it sounded.

I think Kick the Chair would be cool too.

This sucks.. I broke my B string.

It's pretty much impossible for me to break my B string.

I haven't broken a string in years.

How many songs are you planning to do?
