    ZOLTAN Game-Inspired Death Metal Album

    Guys, I know I haven't been around UM in years, I used to be a reviewer here and mostly active on the long-defunct Opeth forums. But I'm coming to you with a plea to help out with this metal album I did vocals for. There are less than 2 days left on this kickstarter thing, based out of Japan...

    Katatonia references in Skyrim

    Hah yeah, that was embarrassing because it's been done, I typed it up when I could have just linked it, AND because I am THIS FAR behind on Skyrim... Just one of those dumb moments I guess. :)

    Katatonia references in Skyrim

    Hey, playing Skyrim right now. Came across a quest with a journal that references Katatonia, as far as I'm concerned. So I typed it up with much pain on an 8" netbook and have it here to share. I'll try to fix the typos. It's called "Nystrom's Journal" in the Twilight Sepulchur

    Add Reality cover

    Hey, guys! A while back you may have remembered me making a thread about a Swano cover I wanted to recruit for. Fast-forward to now, and I'm about to release my acoustic album "Always Remember" on Monday, May 9th. We put together a cover of Add Reality that is a FREE bonus track, exclusive to...

    Superior 2.0 - preset collection

    tl;dr Anyone have a good reggae preset for Superior 2 or Addictive Drums? I more or less got roped into making a reggae tune for a friends' project but I need that distinct drummage. Thanks, dudes!

    Presets for Guitar Rig 4

    The real question you should have asked, was does anyone here even know HOW to make a good tone using Guitar Rig 4. Though you still wouldn't have gotten any anwers. :-)

    Serious Sound Card

    I just said that to shut the guy up. I did have some money but recent problems have borked everything. EVERYTHING. Using a 512 buffer with the ASIO Alesis Firewire gives like 12ms latency... Now running Cubase with BFD2 and trying to record causes my recordings to go out of sync and have silent...

    Serious Sound Card

    Serious Sound Card

    Well, It's quite an old PC. But it was pretty high end for its time and has had some RAM augmentations. Pentium 4 2.80GHz / 2.79GHz 2.75GB Ram SB Live! 24-bit Radeon X300 series video card I use Firewire for the recording interface. The processor is actually better than the one in the...

    Serious Sound Card

    Hi. I use an Alesis io|26 firewire interface and the recordings are perfect, and awesome. The problem I have is with the soundcard I suppose, it is not able to process very much. This is why a lot of my current songs have less than 10 tracks in them. Open up a couple VSTs, try to use an amp sim...

    Cubase 5 Dangit

    I figured out the problem with high-passing through the EQ. There's a little place you've got to click and actually set it to "High Pass I" instead of the default setting which is low shelf. *sigh* But there's nothing like that for the MASTER EQ so, still at a loss on that one.

    Cubase 5 Dangit

    I haven't had any luck with the high-passing.. I try to do it with the EQ and it's either too extreme or not good enough. I want a way to just set a number for high pass and have it cut from that frequency down without any problems. This is how it's sounding...

    Cubase 5 Dangit

    I wasn't, douche. I was literally saying that is spending money. :-)

    Cubase 5 Dangit

    Ok, thank you all. :p Considering the huge workload I have ahead of me for this year, this is definitely some of the things I need to figure out noooww. So I appreciate it. I used the amp sim on a track and then froze the track, because when you open about 3 instances of amp sim, it takes up...

    Cubase 5 Dangit

    Oh no, $500 is spending money. I usually have that kind of cash on me at any given time.

    Cubase 5 Dangit

    I've been using the EQ for the tracks to do a pretend-a-highpass but it's not a proper highpass. :/

    Cubase 5 Dangit

    I got Cubase 5 and have been recording music with it, but all of my mixes aren't nearly as good as when I was using Audition 3. There's a lot of stuff I've relearned in it but the two major obstacles right now are: 1. Cross-fading. Doing rhythms has "drop outs" where it starts playing the...

    Wow. Any reason in particular? I'm not profiting off of Dan's work, the CD will be released on the internet free and physical copies will be printed up on request...

    Help with Uncreation cover

    Hi. It's been a long time, but I have some 'good' news. The Dan Swano cover of 'Add Reality' is going to be done, as I have found a truly spectacular drummer in Switzerland. He has played the drums for about 6 or 7 of my solo album songs now, each with a different kit because his friend has a...
