Hi guys, just wanted to share the first single from my upcoming album. The album is entirely self produced, and is inspired by science fiction cinema.
A few bits of info about the creation process.
-Guitar used was my Ibanez Prestige RG2570z with DiMarzio Crunch Lab/LiquiFire pickups. Tuning was G#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#. I used Elixir Optiweb strings (.11-.49) but I substituted the low .49 with a D'Addario .64.
-Bass used was my Ibanez SR305. Tuning was G#, D#, G#, C#, F#. I used D'Addario XL strings (.145, .120, .90, .67, .50 gauges).
-ALL guitar and bass tones were from my Kemper. I am going to do a video in the next couple of weeks detailing the exact profiles I used for rhythms, bass, cleans and leads but for now I'll say that the primary rhythm tones are from a Peavey 5150 profile.
-All of the drums were programmed using GetGood Drums, and I will also likely do a video showing the exact samples I used.
-The project took about 12 months to finish, from starting to write the first song to printing the final masters.
-All of the keyboards were recorded using a MIDI controller, with some parts written by hand. I am not a keyboard player so this was mainly used as a composition tool.
-The full album will be released online on November 9th 2018.
Let me know what you think! Any questions let me know and I'll be happy to answer!
