duncann Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Here is an original song, Radiative Embrace. The sixth of an album I'm working on. Done entirely on an HD500X, and eventually reworked on HELIX. Attached to this post are the presets I've created for this song. Take a listen if you're interested. Comments and feedback extremely welcomed and appreciated.

ziriba Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Amazing! Congratulations!! Great tones, great playing. The drums were recorded live or built in the DAW? God job! Ziriba (Brazil, podhd500x) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks for replying and thanks for the kind words. :) The drums were built in the DAW (reaper) using One Small Clue's Poise. Most of the samples are from G&S Custom Work Drum Kit Sample Library 1.0 (free). It takes a little more work to set up versus some of the other (more expensive) drum programs, but seems to work acceptably. Everything else is on the hd500x with no processing in the DAW at all.

DarrellM5 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I really enjoyed it. I can definitely pick up a heavy Steve Vai influence and it's way beyond my skill level. You did a great job programming the drum track but I'll bet you could take it to a whole new level if you could collaborate with an actual drummer. Keep up the good work. I hope to see some more of your stuff on here soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks for the kind words DarrellM5. You're most assuredly right about the drums. And no intention of stopping anytime soon, just takes me a lot longer than I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
