new Graveless song snippet

Impact

There's no bass guitar recording on this track.  Rather I used a pitch shifted guitar and processed it to make it sound like a bass guitar.  You can find my process on that here:

A cover of "Abandonment" by In the Midst of Lions, learned completely by ear.  This is a skill I never thought I'd have when I first started learning guitar over 10 years ago, but here we are.

I tried to stay true to the original composition, but took some creative liberty with the mix and sound design.

Abandonment (ITMOL cover)

Ever just chug 2 entire octaves below standard tuning?

Ibanez RGIB6 in drop D#, double tracked normally and with pitch shifted down an octave
Ibanez GIO GSR206 in drop G# pitch shifted down to D#
AxeFx II XL+ for tones
Brohymn Mesa impulses
SSD4 + Perfect Drums + Odeholm Snare

Baller Thaller

Halloween (metal cover)

Soldier (metal cover)

An acoustic track my buddy and I recorded.  Might add vocals later on, so here's just the instrumental track for now.  We recorded this using a  2 microphone setup.  A condenser pointed at the sound hole and a dynamic pointed at the neck.

Here's my signal chain:
Shitty acoustic that I bought at a pawn shop
Shure SM57 (pointed at the neck)
Audio Technica AT2020 (pointed at the body)
Scarlett 2i2
Logic Pro X

Slowly moving all of my projects over to my desktop computer from my laptop.  Gonna start using that shit more often cause why not.

More Metal Testing

Just writing for now.  I think this is done for the most part.  Now just gotta finish writing lyrics for it.  Once it's all finished, I'm gonna re-record it with some better gear.

Tartar Sauce (Prepro/Instrumental)

Pardon my shitty playing.  I learned this by ear last night and just now recorded/mixed it with my practice amp and I'm super fucking tired, so it doesn't sound the greatest.  Might add vocals later, who knows.
