Yeah, it is. I'm just wondering how we could get the sound quality better.

Quote: "I have mine recording as 32-bit"

So, actually it should be better than mine, as mine is 16 bits and 96000 hz?
I think that the MIC-in is what's making the sound so hazy.
If we could just find a way to get the quality better, hey? Any ideas?

Yeah, that's what I thought. I tried updating my sound drivers, but they were all up to date.

Quote: "I think that the MIC-in is what's making the sound so hazy."

The version I uploaded was recorded via USB, because when I used the mic port it really became impossible to tell what was going on.

Quote: "If we could just find a way to get the quality better, hey? Any ideas?"

I'll see if I can use someone else's computer and try to record there.

If you want. You can have it automatically get the music from your iTunes library or Windows Media Library and put it in you profile. I really enjoy having a Last.fm account, because I listen to music a lot, and it has some good recommendations.

I tried recording on a different computer. Still, I get bad results.

I now have reason to believe that it is the RP350 that gives me the poor sound quality, which saddens me.

Sorry that I haven't been on this forum at all lately. I had to have surgery, and I've been recovering for the past week and a half. But I'm pretty much all better, so now I'm back. Because of that thing going on with Intel, I'm going to be spending all of my free time working on a game for most of this month. I have finished writing a short song, so all that remains is to record it once the game is done.

I saw it today. The cover said: "JON OLIVIA'S PAIN - The end of Savatage".



But, now I just saw on the internet, that they talked about the band PAIN, with former bandmember Jon Olivia. I must have misunderstood what the cover said, since I was in a hurry, and just saw a glimpse of the magazine.

New Demon Hunter album, The World is A Thorn comes out tomorrow. I don't know if anyone else is as excited as I am. For those that haven't heard Demon Hunter, you can listen to three of the songs off of the new album here. The only word that truly describes the new songs is "Beautiful".

Well, let's hope that they find a suitable singer ASAP. The potential of their guitarists is enormous, so I think they really need a VERY talented, dynamic and powerfull singer (Shadowtroid, GO for it!).
Let's hope they don't do the same mistake Iron Maiden did, when Bruce Dickinson left IRON MAIDEN a few years ago. Man, that singer (I don't remember his name, because of his awefull vocals) sung like a pig with a collapsed lung! Even Madonna could sing better than him. I guess?

Shadowtroid: DON'T be disheartened by this! THEY WILL RETURN!

Cheers

Yeah, AWESOME singer! Too bad they only had two albums with him. Rob Halford is not a bad frontman or performer, but his vocals are'nt that awesome.
I think Ripper should fit right in DragonForce.

I'm sorry, but you must have never heard Painkiller. That song is proof that Judas Priest are one of the greatest metal bands ever. Halford hits that ending note which is just incredible, the drums are incredible, the guitars certainly are some of the best that they have ever done. But I understand if you still think that Owens is better because he certainly proved himself to be great.

Quote: "I don't remember his name"

a lot of people don't/won't remember Blaze Bayley (atleast affectionately) as the vocals for maiden while bruce did his own thing. the problem was that maiden didn't write their songs for blaze's abilities (which are capabable but without near the range of dickinson's abilities).

i've been a fan of blaze's since wolfsbane, especially the 1989 album "Live Fast, Die Fast" since first hearing manhunt on mtv's headbanger's ball. acquiring the tape soon after, tracks like "all or nothing" and "i like it hot" stood out as solid hard rock "classics", to me. most who happened to come across wolfsbane "back in the day" would acknowledge them as one of the most under-rated bands of the era.

when blaze joined maiden, it was a personal gift, for me, being a fan of both for a long time. i felt blaze deserved being part of a recognized monster metal band. bruce went on to put out some great solo albums while maiden (albeit "akwardly") pushed on with blaze. man on the edge and the clansman being a couple favorites. both very "maiden"; both very "blaze".

with bruce's return, blaze began his solo work with "silicon messiah". again, as a fan, "good stuff".

compared to dickinson, in the context of iron maiden, blaze wasn't right. individually, all have their place in my personal panthenon.

anyway, felt the need to comment on the subject... obviously

I'm glad that you did because this is (obviously) not a very popular thread. I listened to those Wolfsbane songs. I'm still not a huge fan of his vocals, but they were better than when he was in maiden. They sound similar to something DIO would put out.

I have that album, so yes, I have heard Painkiller MANY times before. I still do, actually.
As you said it, Judas Priest are one of the best Metalbands ever. And Painkiller was IMO their best album (with Rob Halford). When I said that Rob's voice is'nt that awesome, I meant that Rippers' voice has more variation and depth than Rob's. But, they both add that required talent to the band to be a top band.

yah, i can see (hear) that that's why, at the time, wolfsbane should have been right in there with 'em. i suppose dio's image, label, (not to mention his pedigree) vs wolfsbane (simple, good, "nameless" bar-room rockers) was part of the difference.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. I said it a bit to extreme, but he is not a bad singer. It's just that his vocal range is'nt as high as Bruce's (not Bruce Lee btw). And he surely sings a lot better than me, 'cuz I sing like a horse who's pinched in the balls (sort of speak). Hahahaahahaa!
So, sorry if I offended your personal musical preferences, Virtual Nomad. It was'nt meant like that.

Quote: "speaking of dio's pedigree... "

Great singer! When I heard 'Don't talk to strangers' the first time, I bought the album straight away!

Quote: "btw, i didn't know he's fighting stomach cancer "

Did'nt know that either.

Yeah, I've heard some of that, it's good but definitely far from what he was known for. As for Elf, I thought that they were great and it's sad that they only put out three albums. I'm glad though that Dio is with H&H and that they put out The Devil You Know. That is a pectacular album and I'd recommend getting it if you don't already have it. Just realized, that Elf are at #1 on my sig for the moment.

Quote: "sorry if I offended"

no apology necessary. what works for me might not work for someone else, and i (generally) keep that it mind

re: painkiller - great song, and quite different from most priest tunes, reaching far from their roots. in the context of it's release, i think it was more of a "see, we can be as hard, fast, driving as the rest" offering. i love the energy within and where halford takes it, noone else can touch. (RIP Chuck!)

speaking of covers, i've always appreciated bands covering tunes as homage to their predessesors. ie, recognition and respect. while they generally fall short of the original, it's interesting to see the forging of distinctly different styles, or, sometimes, a band's attempt to replicate the original.

case(s) in point: forbidden covering priest's victim of changes where russ anderson pulls off halford's vocal's about as well as could be.

sepultura's version of symptom of the universe is a favorite of mine. so is kreator covering grinder.

and, sometimes, i like the cover version more than the original "classic" as in coroner doing purple haze (i was never a hendrix fan) or slayer's in a gadda da vida (3 mins > 10 mins, in my book ).

...Hmmm, I gotta say, when you mentioned MegaDeth, I will admit, here's my opinion on them:

The lead singer sounds funny.

There's intense guitar, strong drums, but the lead singer...

He's like, trying to be like other, deeper heavy metal voices, it's not like hair metal or anything, he just has so high of a voice.

It...ruins it.

mustaine's voice has always been criticized but it's part of what defines megadeth. as stated, it's opinion and choice, and i've come to appreciate it as one of a few (relatively speaking) "distinct" voices in metal.

one of the "worst" voices in all of rock could easily be ozzy's (he really tends to sound like a kitten being strangled... slowly, in my opinion ) but it's a big part of what defined classic sabbath and make's ozzy, the band, what it is. he's basically crying lyrics out at times which lends heavily toward the listener feeling dispair, pain, sadness, and utter anguish, when appropriate, and is unique. don't get me wrong, i love ozzy but would never say he could sing well but, instead, prefer to recognize him as a great vocalist

Well, I agree with all of you three! His voice is what makes Megadeth so unique. Like their song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-haY0ihr65Q, what would that sound like without his unique voice, hey? It would simply NOT fit without it IMO.

It's the same with old Ozzy Osbourne. His voice sounds a bit like crying and sad, but his music is AWESOME! Listen to this:

And as for James LaBrie: his voice is one of a kind, and is getting better and better IMO.

Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!

As for Ozzy, meh he's alright, I think that Zakk Wylde is the most talented member for him, currently, but he destroys the older songs by throwing in too many pinch harmonics.

Well, I think that from Images and Words to Black Clouds, his voice has gone downhill. It's still good, but not nearly what it was on Another Day. That song is the best that he has done, I think.

Also, since the band name thread has died, do you just want to stick with IDS and start recording some songs?
