Wow! That was really good!

Seriously, I like it better than the song in your sig.

Dude this is so sick!!! Like REALLY sick! If you could enlighten me on how you make your guitars and drums sound soo good, cause everytime I record into reaper with my electric guitar, it sounds super grainy and distorted to the point it's just annoying to listen to, and I can't figure out to make it sound any better. What drums, guitars, pedals, programs ect do you use to make beautifulness such as this?

Haha, thanks! ^^ I don't run my guitar through any software apart from after it's been recorded (though I might in not too long - getting a Mustang III, but I guess that's off-topic at the moment); my setup is fairly simple, and even somewhat ...primitive, you might say, at least as far as guitars go. I play a Fender Blacktop Stratocaster through a KORG AX3000g multi-effects pedal into a Peavey Backstage amp from somewhere in the eighties. This gets picked up by a Samson C01u USB mic, which records it into an old version of Audacity onto a drum track which I always make first.

I use Addictive drums through Ableton Live when I make drum patterns - very easy to use, and I have yet to hear a better drum sound that isn't acoustic! Got these when I heard PrinceWhateverer was using them - I'm a big fan of his stuff :3

Also, one thing that I do to make the guitars sound bigger (dunno if all of these steps are required to get the sound; I just do it out of habit) is copy the waveform, and delete a tiny segment of empty sound in front of one of them, pushing them out of phase. Then I put one of the tracks in the left channel, and one in the right!

Hope that answers your question! ^^
