New album by Arjen Anthony Lucassen is out! "Lost In The New Real"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHNaw_hkEeU awesome narrated video Hmmm that sounds pretty good spirit. I usually avoid this thread because it's always just metal that's posted here, but that's a bit more mellow. Is the rest of Arjen's new album similar to this?

track 8. Loud and with a system that can do low frequency bass, so sexy. found some nice free darkish atmospheric ambient ambient again, [iD.059] Michael Hoffmann - Mind Trips (EP). The label's page is down but you can find it easily online.
Sequencing: FL Studio
Guitars and Bass: Old version of FL Slayer with a HUGE amount of tweaking to make it sound as little like FL Slayer as possible. Drums: FPC set with a commercial kit - I forget the source but that's why I paid for it, so I wouldn't have to. :P Vintage Synths: Wasp and Wasp XT mostly stock presets. Weird noises: Toxic Biohazard with all knobs randomized and/or heavily abused until something interesting happens Reaktor style. Eq and Mastering: mostly EQUO and Maximus It is really sounding like Slayer indeed.. Maybe missing a little bit of bass and saturation, but wow... :)
Cool, I've been messing around with FL Studio, I can't really get Slayer sounding right. As soon as you add drive to make individual notes stand out more it just fills with scratching noises :(
Any way you could share your settings for it? :E JPL: sounding like the BAND Slayer is desirable. Sounding like the overrated and overpriced VST Slayer, not so much.
ZQF: maybe if I ever actually finalize the settings I'll post the presets - but you'll probably be disappointed as they're not very different from what already comes with the program. The difference is that many of the controllers (damping, harmonic, pick position, feedback, etc.) need to be in constant motion because the minute you let a single one of them sit still, it starts to sound like a synthesizer again. Keep in mind that a real guitar has a good clean sound and all the effects that are added to it merely amplify and enhance that initial sound. Slayer is the exact opposite. When you remove all the effects from Slayer, you don't get a clean guitar sound. You get a Karplus string tone that sounds like absolute shite. So instead of a real guitarist showing off how awesome his Les Paul or Strat sounds with the pedals attached, a Slayer user is piling on a very delicate sequence of effects specifically to conceal the fact that the foundational sound completely SUCKS. Number stations are so damn awesome. I love having http://archive.org/details/ird059 (The Conet Project - Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations [ird059]) in the background. Caught one myself randomly some weeks ago.
You stopped me listening to this:
