Evan Milosevic /// Official Audio StreamDanny Leftridge Music2024-11-01 | Silent violence A dark approach that's unbecoming of you now It's all just cloak and daggers you can finally see It's all a part of me
And like a moth to the flame You're fanning what cinders remain
Burned down
It's all just smoke and mirrors you can finally see I am both the forest and the trees
I am all that will remain
Smoke and mirrors render my vision obsolete Darkness coiling inside me No rhyme nor reason could separate me from the end I need Step after step I bleed
Like the sea the mind and soul will split Reveal a new way
Lay yourself down, pray away Wade through mire to glimpse another day Tear your flesh out Shed your skin Let your new form Have its way
A new beginning comes for you now The light of dawn and dead of night Bend to your will To your will
Smoke and mirrors render my vision obsolete Darkness coiling inside me No rhyme nor reason could separate me from the end I need Step after step I bleed

I've recently experienced this utilizing MAutoAlign from Melda Production on my rhythm guitars. It shouldn't work because of the inherent constant phase shifting but, to my ears, it seems to tighten the guitars and create clarity. What do you think?
MAutoAlign from Melda Production finds the ideal delays and polarity inversions automatically. Just put an instance on each track that you want to fix and click a button. Absolutely no complicated routing or side-chaining is needed. MAutoAlign will find all other instances of itself automatically.

Adrian Parcioaga /// Official Audio StreamDanny Leftridge Music2024-04-26 | So now you've found yourself with no words to account for it all Tail tucked, run out of luck, pride going before the fall Frozen Frozen still Fear ensnares like no other Nowhere to run, sooner or later time cuts you down Beware the day they'll find you foaming at the mouth The light you saw, just a gleam off my murderous maw Nowhere to hide, cold and petrified I see you Frozen Frozen still Fear ensnares Hopelessness tightens its grip
Terrified of the beast inside When you say your prayers, leave my name aside Watch your step when you cross my path Take a breath and cherish it while something's left
No fuse, just a match Light it up and watch the skies turn black You slay one, two grow back I can't count how many times I've lost my head To the depths, to the death, when we wage war, we wage war till nothing's left
Terrified of the beast inside When you say your prayers, leave my name aside Watch your step when you cross my path Take a breath and cherish it while something's left
Hopelessness tightens its gripDanny Leftridge /// Archetype Gojira vs. Gojira X /// DemoDanny Leftridge Music2024-02-15 | Is the new Archetype Gojira X the heaviest plugin in the universe or did Neural DSP get it right the first time? What do you think?
www.dannyleftridgemusic.comDanny Leftridge /// Bogren Digital IRDX Core DemoDanny Leftridge Music2024-01-14 | Here's my demo of the brand new IRDX Core from Bogren Digital complete with examples at the end.
For this demo I used the IRDX Core following my STL Tones Josh Middleton Suite loaded with Bogren's Downtuned "I Wait for No Man" IR on rhythm guitars and on leads I used the same amp sim with Bogren's "Hair Apparently" IR from their Leads and Cleans selection. In addition I also used Bogren's Krimh Drums and Bass Knob which comes equipped with IRDX Technology.
IRDX technology enhances any amp sim on the market by adding unprecedented dynamic and harmonic detail to speaker cab emulations. When it comes to achieving lifelike guitar speaker emulation, the new IRDX technology is a quantum leap forward. The technology breathes life into the guitar sound by adding dynamic and true-to-life behavior to static speaker impulses.
Impulse Responses are excellent at capturing the tonality and resonance of a guitar cabinet, but by nature they are only a static snapshot in time. By itself, an impulse response has the tonal characteristics of a real cab but without dynamics, it creates a lifeless, fatiguing sound. Real-life guitar speakers react dynamically to the input from the amplifier. They move air, compress, and break up depending on how hard they are being pushed by the amp.
The end result is a guitar amp sim that reacts like a real amp, easily fits in a mix without sounding stale, and feels great when playing through.Danny Leftridge /// Bogren Digital Krimh Drums Riff ContestDanny Leftridge Music2023-12-10 | Here's my entry for the Bogren Digital Krimh Drums Riff Contest! I used the full version of the Krimh drums. I ran a Eurobass III DI signal through the Bogren Digital BassKnob. For the rhythm guitars I used the 'Wait for No Man' downtrend IR from their sample pack and for the lead/octave chord guitars I used the 'Hair Apparently' IR from the Leads and Cleans sample pack. All of these and more can be found at www.bogrendigital.com

Guitarists: Adam Dutkiewicz/Joel Stroetzel Album: The End of Heartache (2004) Tuning: Drop C
Who doesn't want The End of Heartache on Valentine's Day? This album was a pillar of the metal I came up on and I could honestly cover every song on this album. For this recording I used my ESP LTD EC-401 with EMG 81/60 pickups. I did do something new this time though. All the guitars were recorded using the STL Tonality Howard Benson plugin suite. If you haven't tried these plugins you are seriously missing out. For my personal home recordings, I doubt I'll use anything else going forward. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!Danny Leftridge /// Halloween Theme CoverDanny Leftridge Music2018-10-27 | This is my cover of the classic theme from Halloween. With the new movie just being released, what better time to cover this staple of All Hallows Eve!
