Shreddage

[davidn]

I've tried to evolve my music out of Modplug for a long time now, but after every period of experimentation I just keep snapping back to my familiar sound and environment due to comfort and experience - and the fact that I couldn't find a guitar library that sounded at all realistic enough to be worthwhile. This... might change that yet.

This is a test of the Shreddage X plugin by Impact Soundworks - compared to the very awkward libraries that I've used in the past, this offers a lot of different articulations and makes them easily accessible without having to set up multiple different instruments for them. It involves spending more time in Music Creator 6 and less in my comfortable, cosy Modplug environment, but I think I might try to port a couple of my songs over to it to see how they sound - and see if this time I stay there.

I was able to identify one of the tests! 33% is an awesome score.

One of them is a new one, written during the test - so you really have 50% :) However, of the remaining two, one is a very well-known metal song and the other was written by me, so you're damned either way ;)

Unless, of course, you recognized the original one because I have inadvertently copied it from somewhere, and the two obvious ones are nowhere near as obvious as I had thought, which seems quite likely given past experience in these areas.

I got Electric Eye right away, but I'm sorry to admit that I failed at the other two. The other sounds incredibly familiar, but I just can't ... quite....

Oh! Oh!! Signal from the Sky!! Okay, I'm way too slow to grasp things, sometimes, but at least I got it eventually.

Hohohoho, how delightful.

And out of a possible three, I scored...naught! :D


Seriously, didn't get a single one of those...2nd one I was starting to think was from the original DooM, but that's about all that came to mind for the whole lot.
