Uhh so, this is the current version of my arabic metal track. Its sorta mixed, its sorta (not really) mastered. I still have some transitions that need some work, but I've been working on this for a few weeks and am really sick of it. At some point I'll come back and patch it up, but for now its this. Uhh, I'm really kind of unimpressed with the attack of Edirols brass section, it doesnt seem to be agressive enough, kind of lacking in the energy dept, but overall its got a decent sound. All the guitars are synth, all original slayer, with some standard effects applied. Some of the sitar is a soundfont, the other bit of it is a plugin called Syntar, which is kind of fun. Some of the drum kit samples were pulled out of a kit that BadMan assembled - appreciated. A lot of the string leads are from edirol, with a cadenza soundfont and then a preset of a plugin called MINI Erhu (spelling?) Sorry for the cheesy fade out ending. Uhh... thanks to all the people who liked the WIP and I think EternalReich is going to go in an drop all the real guitars in it and a solo or 3. Update on that later. - Thanks for the support - Jordan

i have to say, this is pretty damned awesome.
a little more variation in the guitar would be nice, it sounds so real... well.. is it?
cause if it is.. good job on playing it so exact. if not, good job on making it sound that real.
the drums sound like the drummer from 'nile'. thats a good thing.

"Well... Nice!"

The composition was brilliant, it was all epic and just plain amazing, I can really see this in a movie. You blended all the guitar strings and horns so perfectly and the drums add a sort of exotic twist at some points.

You didn't ace the arabic theme but you were pretty close, the arab style melodies were close but still kinda shallow and stereotypical. Something you REALLY should add and would really help with the arabic theme are arabic drum solos, check out some arabic songs and you'll see what I mean, I'm mainly talking about the hand drums, hard to explain so check em out.

On a technical level, the mix was pretty strong, but you quieted things too much when you were mastering and the EQ felt a little bland, maybe raise a little high band or add emphasis on the low band? It all sounded centered on middle too much.

Bottom line, this is a GREAT song, really powerful, gonna check out your other stuff :D
