SCREAM!
04.07.14 | something needs to be done about that part at 0:27. There's a few other odd sounding volume swells but otherwise really solid editing job. I imagine it'll only get better as you figure out how to fine tune it. |

04.07.14 | Just listened, you can read my comment. |

04.07.14 | the part at @ 0:27 slayz |

04.07.14 | @SREAM: thanks man, I'll have to take a look. This isn't going to be perfect for sure, I don't even plan on it as this is my first song I've ever edited, although I do like that part being louder maybe it could be mixed better.
@BMDrummer: Yep, this for sure. I fucked up part way through and accidently made the instrumental fade out and turned it off, when I turned it back on I couldn't undo it and now it fades out from like the halfway point. I tried fixing it but what I did was basically a band-aid. Thanks for giving a listen. |

04.07.14 | i use audacity for all my music. basically just mess around with it as long as you can and things will get easier, editing can be tricky if you're not constantly relistening and tracking your progress. |
Funeralopolis
04.07.14 | Yea I listened to this song about 50 times trying to make it and slowly edited it as I went along. Trying out all the new tools is pretty overwhelming but interesting. |
Hommecidal
04.07.14 | If it sounds like you did it with a toaster, I think that means you're a success at black metal! |
Nocturnal
04.07.14 | Not grim enough sounds like a poser poormans(hobo poor) attempt at anaal nathrakh ripoff. |
Funeralopolis
04.07.14 | Do you have any tips for how I could make it sound more grim? Like do you any good effects for that sort of thing? Although I don't think this particular song is really trying to be grim, it could be useful to know. |

04.07.14 | I'd say something about the production, but since it's black metal I won't. have 3 m/s mate 666 and all that jazz. |
osmark86
04.07.14 | @funeralopolis: reverb and then some more reverb. griiiiiiiiiiim. |
Funeralopolis
04.07.14 | That's what I probably figured it was I'll try experimenting with reverb more and see how it turns out :] |
osmark86
04.07.14 | It'll sound more gloomy and brooding than a Joseph Conrad novel, I tell ya. Get on that shit naow. |
Crysis
04.07.14 | Yeah the volume changes are annoying as hell. The parts at :27 and 1:27 are so out of place due to the sudden surge in volume it's ridiculous. The vocals themselves are ok, they sound a bit too "gargly" if that makes sense. Also would be cool if you trailed off into some high-pitched wails or generally varied them up a bit. They remind me a bit of Marduk. |
Funeralopolis
04.07.14 | The vocals and lyrics would definitely be a lot more varied on a more fleshed out song for sure, I have a pretty diverse range and I want to put it to good use. I`m gonna see about dealing with the volume right now. |
Funeralopolis
04.07.14 | I took everyone's feedback made more a grimy version of it: thoughts?
