Hi all. Here is a rough first demo of a song called “Temptations” by the prog metal band Cloud Constructor. Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated.
It was recorded using a Tascam US-2×2 interface and it uses almost exclusively stock or freeware plugins. Thanks!
This sounds really good. I can hear what zakkleifeste was talking about on the vocals though, but really only a tiny bit.
Thanks a lot, will definitely fine tune that.
Sounds great! Especially if it’s just a demo. The only thing that stood out to me was that the vocals seemed a bit thin. Instruments are awesome. Is there any acoustic drums in there? Or are they all sampled?
Thanks for the feedback 🙂 will tweak the vocals a bit.
No acoustic drums, all samples for now. We’re planning on recording real drums when there’s an album’s worth of songs.
What else do you think should be updated if going from a demo to final? Cheers!
Honestly I can’t think of anything else. Is this the final instrumentation? Or ere you going to add any more(like synth, reverse cymbals, ear candy type things, etc.)?
There’s some synths, clean and ambient guitars a bit later in the song, will definitely post a version of the full song when that’s all orchestrated, just wanted to see if we’re headed in the right direction.
Forgot to mention: vocals recorded using a Lewitt LCT 240 Pro mic, and guitars and bass recorded through DI box.
