The riffs could be a good idea, but for the love of sanity, someone provide us with better quality vocals than that!

I say for the lyrics we do one of Paddy's "Fuck Me Til I Fart" or Chris; "Is There A Booger In My Nose?" (though only the unabridged version). Actually, I don't say, I say we have to. Genius shit right there.

If someone can give me detailed instructions about how to set-up a solid distortion preset on my GNX4 - so that what I record on it doesn't really require much post-record tinkering - I'll do something. The way my gear is setup at the moment makes everything sound fine through my headphones, but when I transfer a recording onto my PC and play it "raw" it sounds fucking horrendous. I'm largely useless when it comes to hardware and production, so I'll need severe, overbearing levels of guidance.

I'm not sure if we should start with a genre; one of us should just write a riff or two, then the rest of us use that as a starting point. That way we won't feel constrained by expectations.

What tuning are we playing in? I generally stick with D standard or alternative tunings based around that, such as Drop C. Is it wise to use the production software to alter the pitches of the instruments to make them match? I mean, will that affect the quality much?

I'm off to see if I can write the next MetalTabs classic.

Next? Next? What are you talking about, next? We haven't had a first yet.

And yes, I see it.

My guitar is always in D so I`m pretty comfortable with that.
Would be cool if someone could just throw one or two riffs in here so we can see how we arrange the rest of this glorious epic masterpiece!


BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAA how the fuck did I managed to miss that

Oh shit, I completely forgot about this.

I'm in D/drop C too so that works. And no, Paddy, you don't want to manipulate the pitch like that. It'd sound retarded. We'll all just stay with each other on tuning. I remember my GNX 3 would sound pretty bad when I'd transfer audio to computer also. Try playing through an amp and just get the best sound you can get.

I do play through an amp, but I was worried about sending the tracks to other people to be cut together on a computer; they'll sound shit haha. I assumed that this was because my amp was doing all the work in terms of tone and the like, and therefore my GNX settings weren't optimal because they sound bad on their own (like a swarm of wasps in a giant jar). If that's to be expected then we're all set.

Good to hear that you guyses all use D/Drop C, too!
