EQ
I have started writing some tracks over the weekend.
I have he start of 2 so far, one is an old one that I have never really got finished which is odd because it's quite a strong one...I just felt I couldn't do it justice.
The second came from a writing session I set myself.
Anyways.....
After writing some riffs and layout for the secind track I thought I'd pop on to Youtube to see if there was any tips on recording at home. Turns out theres loads..too many infact and most if not all had some great info and tips.
Most important of all was EQ and how to use it well. I have never EQ'd a track myself before I just used presets that never really altered the sound by much.
But after watching a few vids I started to get a small understanding. I ain't saying it's right though.....
So wondered if folks want to hear and give me their opinions on the sound. Fancy it?
Ok here's the link;

The first part is the EQ'd version of the track, the second is of course the one with no EQ.
The guitar tone my not make it to the final version but either way it all needs re-recording to get it and heavy.
I plan to double track both left and right guitars and perhaps a thickener down the middle.
Unsure as it's been a while since I had that many guitar tracks fighting each other, Hoping a good EQ and balance panning and levels will sort that out.
As for the style my ideas seem to be taking it sounds like it's going to be quite a heavy set of tracks but going to be broken up with some interesting stuff. I've been looking at using different time sigs...as I tend to be a 4/4 kinda of person.
There will stil be plenty of blues based single note riffs and solos though I'm sure.
I guess peeps are going to say it sounds like Metallica or something, I get that a lot. But they were the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place so it makes sense.
Hope to be posting again soon, should be able to get some work done tonight.
Stay safe.
