    My take on "Lucky Animals" music video

    Hi. I already posted this on Andy Sneap forum (where I'm a regular) but I suppose it's no harm if I'll post this here as well. Some of you may know Devy asked people to send in videos with performances for his Lucky Animals song. Since I do music videos from time to time and I wanted to test...

    My take on Devin Towsend's Lucky Animals (music video)

    Some of you may know Devy asked people to send in videos with performances for his Lucky Animals song. Since I do music videos from time to time and I wanted to test some new gear I went little beyond that and I created my own. And here it is... It's mostly for people who enjoy campy stuff (in...

    hardware speaker sim for monitoring

    I want to give the drummer in my band a better monitoring system. He already has a small mixer which he uses to amplify the metronome. I could give him line out from bass amp and vocals. Guitars are more tricky since I would like to avoid miking the amps and use line out / effect send. Therefore...

    Dio Tribute on line... apparently

    I checked out Backstage Metal page and what do you know - Dio Tribute is on line. The old thread has been closed and I don't think I missed a new one so it seems it went on line in a rather quiet way. So... everybody... get this on your facebook pages and stuff... I don't think we need to be...

    Workflow: listening through vocal takes

    How do you guys get through vocal takes to make your life easy? I know a lot of depends on how it was tracked but lets assume there are a lot of them. I used to have many takes on one track but now I try to put them on different tracks (in a separate project from the mix). I cut from them and...

    Chopin Quest - an art film with a metal attitude

    Long story short. What you've got below is an art film (even shown in an actual gallery at some point) created by me. It was inspired by The Chopin Year in Poland, influenced by my band Nihil Quest and classic games. It uses music from Chopin, Nihil Quest and some of my solo stuff. I could...

    Nihil Quest video (100% bass drum beater free!)

    After few months of work I completed the first video for my band Nihil Quest. It's not only performance so those of you who (like me) enjoy something else in a video apart from a band might want to take a look. Both the song and the video for "(Also Sprach) Franky" are based on a true story of...

    Remember King Kong (with video)

    http://dehumanizer.9o.pl/Rat_Salad_-_Remember_King_Kong.mp3 Usually I spend a lot of time with every mix. For a change I've tried to make it very fast. I actually made this short track to get away a bit from mixing the first Nihil Quest EP which was taking me forever. It still required much...
