Did some work on my mix since last time. This is the intro to As I Lay Dying's "Losing Sight" by me.
Listen to this: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/280845
Does it sound like a professional mix? ie can you tell it's just a humble home recording done with about 1k worth of gear?

Thats fucking sick.

Its sounds really professional actually, and even if its not perfect the small differences in it would make it more original sounding. have you written any songs? Also what programs and shit do you use because I want to record some stuff as well with a drum and bass track etc but i am not sure where to start.

metal ofc

thanks dude. i just use a line6 podxt for guitars, and a line6 toneport ux2 for bass and vocals. i run both of these things through a presonus firepod just to get fatter signals, and for software i use drumkit from hell (for drums obv) and nuendo 3 as my daw.

you can check out some of my other tunes on that NG page :D Hyperion and Eros are the most recent / best sounding.

You have a firepod? Goddamn, I wanted to get one so bad but my laptop broke and the new one I got in haste didn't have a firewire port.

Yeah, I didn't really have a lot of choice in laptops because of lack of funding and I just got the cheapest thing I could find. ):

I did record during the summer regardless using an m-audio interface, but it was my first time really recording and I had no idea what I was doing. The three songs I recorded I recorded all in one take with no post-production or anything. I have some lag when I try to overdub, and I'm not really sure how to fix the lag problems because I'm such a noob with the whole recording thing.

look up ASIO recording. it's basically a way for windows to record shit without any latency. and the only reason i know what i'm doing (to some extent lol) is because i'm attending an audio engineering university and i've spent hours upon hours on these mixes / have been recording shit in general for years.

well it's not the most innovative metal intro I've ever heard pretty generic hardcore / metalcore type stuff.

Alright, I'll look that up. I probably won't have time to record until next summer, but I'll look it up for future reference.

I have a line 6 amp, does that mean that I can hook it up through that interface (the firepod)? What does daw mean? Do you know anything about reason?

If your amp has a direct out, then you can hook it up directly through the interface. I use an Ampeg V4, and because it's from the 80s it has no direct line out, so I mic my cab and hook the mics through the interface.

DAW stands for digital audio workstation.

DAW = Digital Audio Workstation. ie ProTools, Nuendo, Cubase, Sonar, Ableton, Logic etc.
You can hook up your line 6 amp to your computer via the Firepod yes. If your soundcard doesn't have audio ins like mine does you'll probably have to go through Firewire, which a lot of people do.

@ Snet, tirentu, quirinus: Thank you very much! :D
