Thanks for listening! The drums were mix of stuff I wrote in midi, some midi samples, and a tad of fills played on some electronic pads. All of the parts were then fed into toontrack Superior Drummer, except there is a little bit of actually recorded tamborine and toms in bits and pieces.

I really like it, though I'll be completely honest if there was a version with more a traditional rhythm I'd probably listen to it over the one there (but that's purely subjective opinion) I still think it works. Does give it a more unique (intentionally?) robotic feel

 10w amp with a gain knob and overdrive button....I would never have guessed that, but yeah now that you mention it, it is kinda of apparent that you're going direct in. Might not hurt to use a DI box or amp sim plugin on the guitar track to add some room/body/airiness since when you go direct in you are bypassing the amp's speakers so the guitar has this presence that can be a bit overpowering

.....here I am giving advice and I still haven't shared anything yet     ...I will get on that

I recorded some stoner metal, just guitar and a drum machine. If you don't have the time or inclination to listen to more than 1 track the best one is 'the answer is neither'.

Nice!I listened to all 4.  I'm definitely into  Electric Wizard, Sleep, Melvins, High On fire, Kyuss, Sabbath etc etc (more on par than Dream Theatre ). This actually seems a little faster than most stoner metal. How are you recording the guitar,? Sounds like this were recorded on different days, since the sound/mix is a different on each.  I definitely hear a fuzz pedal but can't tell if it's a real one or if its from some IR,  a VST, or Pod/FX setup. Drum parts sound great what did you use, more complex and inline than what I'm able to throw together writing midi or selecting groves .  The beginning of "The answer is neither" also reminds me of something and it's driving me crazy, and yeah that was probably my favorite. All of it sounds down tuned pretty far too

Sorry for all the questions, it's cuz I dig it

This is great! But could we get a search feature? Be cool while looking through legends, and seeing a place mentioned not needing to manually look all over the map for it.

Hehe yup Dungeon 6 was the most frustrating for me too, and yes blue wizzrobes are the worst

Music is art man. 2 minute songs, 20 minute songs. Intentionally bad production or dissonance, constant repetition or no repetition or record 60 minutes of insect noises (see Tribes of Neurot - Adapation & Survival) . Our guitarist played with his left hand upside down (so similar to a keyboard or steel guitar) allowed him to do things other people couldn't. You don't have to break the rules but it can definitely lead to innovation or something unique.

Lots of folks have different ways of learning, some are self taught, some had instructors, some know tons of music theory, and there are some great artists that don't know hardly any music theory at all. In the end if you like what you hear, then keep doing it.

Plenty of rules/practices that Dwarf Fortress doesn't abide by whether be the graphics (particularly before the steam release) or balance, and probably behind the scenes in the code but we still love it.
