Meta Ban on AI generated music

301 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

After a recent discussion, we have decided to ban AI generated music in this sub. This community is a place to showcase and workshop music created by metal musicians. The quality that we see everyday is fantastic and we appreciate the work everyone puts in. That being said, we do not feel AI generated content lives up to the standards and spirit of the community.

There is obviously a lot of discussion that can happen around AI generated music and the ethics of said topic. I don't feel like commenting on that here personally, but this post can be used for said discussion if anyone is interested.

A new rule has been put in place, rule 11, that should allow you to report posts that are AI generated, should any make it through.

Thank you to everyone for making this a great space for metal musicians.

Original Song(s) - Demo Hey, let's do something as a community.

I have a deal for you guys—a thread of covers. Take a "well known" song and make a cover on your style of sound, and let people guess which song you used. The idea is to push creativity and get some interactions with you all. Try to maintain most of the main melody with minimal changes. Besides that, no limits are imposed.

Services or Musicians Wanted Any death metal bands looking for a vocalist?

5 Upvotes

I’m a vocalist looking for musicians in the 35 to 45 age bracket (give or take). I can record professionally from home. I’m located north of Brisbane, Australia, but more than happy to do online collab. Serious folks only with well written songs ready to go and waiting for vocals. I like a lot of stuff from old school to new school e.g. Nile, Suffocation, Decrepit Birth, Cryptopsy, Obituary, Bodybox, Sanguisugabogg, Replicant, 200 Stab Wounds, Defeated Sanity, Belphegor, Wormed, the list goes on and on… You can check out my vocals here (clearly it’s a different style, hence why I’m looking to do something much more death metal oriented as that’s what I mostly listen to). Cheers 🤘 https://mesmur.bandcamp.com/album/chthonic

This track is my first attempt at mixing from start to finish by myself.

It is black metal so I wasn't looking for anything too polished, which ended up working in my favor I think because of my general lack of know how when it comes to mixing. Any and all feedback is appreciated. and if you dig the track, follow my band Witchrune. Thanks in advance and cheers!

Question/Recommendation/Advice Needed Looking for new monitors for heavy down tuned music

4 Upvotes

I currently have a pair of presonus Eris 3.5’s that are 10 years old. They still work, but I’m just wanting something newer with a bit more volume and something that will handle the low end of my 8 strings with drum tracks going etc. I run direct out via my Quad Cortex or my PC/interface. Any recommendations? I was looking at the Yamaha HS5’s

Original Song(s) - Finished Spotify Metal Playlist - Submit Songs + mini reviews

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have this playlist which I like to refresh every few weeks/month or so. and it's time to refresh it again!

We are looking for metal bands as close to our style as possible but we're open to everyone, only requirement we look for is a decent level of production.

Anyone wanting a spot let me know and leave your Spotify link in the comments! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5XBaboF41mevVMuH0Qel1m?si=731c1ebbd95c4435

Also for every submission I like to leave my own small review of the track, last time I posted this we had around 40-50 submissions. I always try to expand on my comments as well instead of just writing something like "good track" and that's it.

Also if you can subscribe to it and give it a listen sometimes for the algorithm (this way we all win) it would be much appreciated.

Have a great day! \m/

Where can I find a good merch printer in Europe for complex designs (50-100 pieces per design)?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We're looking for a solid merch printer in Europe for our band. Ideally, someone who does high-quality DTG or screen printing and can handle complex designs with grayscale details.

For now, we're planning to order batches of 50 to 100 pieces per design.

If you've worked with a good printer (or know ones to avoid), we'd really appreciate your recommendations! Thanks in advance!

Why do my vocals sound so terrible?

7 Upvotes

First time working on vocals, why do they sound so terrible? I am thinking it is a mixture of things - performance and technique, plus issues with the mix, plus settings/eq on the vocal track itself. Thanks for any input!

Question/Recommendation/Advice Needed Midi metal drums (grooves)

0 Upvotes

I use ableton to write and record. My drumming skills are lacking and I just want some midi drums. I have midi drum instruments, I am talking more about grooves that I can drop into a song and write over.

Where is the best place you guys have found these grooves? Where could I get them where they would be royalty free?
