So, I'm gonna veer off a different direction from usual and ask a couple of questions as well as (hopefully) gain a few more subscribers on youtube (For those that like my music enough to subscribe that is).
But first, the question:
Currently, I am using my youtube channel as a medium to put out both my music, and gaming videos (All of which have my music in the background so far). And lately, I've been curious as to whether or not I should specialize or not... People love gaming, and people love music, but not everybody necessarily love both. Should I create a separate account for my gaming videos and keep my main profile dedicated to the music?
Let me know!
On that note, if you enjoy my music, I have a few links for you to abuse, subscribe, follow, favorite, whatever each lets you do, and I'll love you long time!:

And you already know where my Newgrounds profile is... at least I would hope so.
Also, I'm still looking for some more feedback on the latest version of "A Taste of..." So please do go give it a listen and leave a review, send me a PM, or even reply here.
That aside... Skyrim... Awesome. 50 hours in 4 days awesome. Don't know what else to say, been playing as a thief, 1 shotting everything (Including dragons)... Planning on turning the difficulty up.. as a 30x damage multiplier on my sneak attacks is making things somewhat easy... Although I guess the drawback is that once I'm spotted, I'm pretty much dead.
Regardless... Skyrim is orgasmicly awesome.

Lose the fake drums or get better samples
Work on crispness of palm muting when playing with the bass drum like you did in the second half
Too much sweep echo in the beginning - a few parts where it sounds sloppy
Pick slide needs to be smoother with no hesitation
Distortion overall feels a bit high and too muddy in some areas.
Maybe adding a bit more bass to the guitar?
Keep the metronome going and don't speed up or slow down. That one bar of 12/8 would sound better.
Other than that, good tune.

EZDrummer DFH samples are sampled from real kits. And I paid over $300 for the whole shabang, if anything is at fault, it's my inability to properly mix drums... Which I am working on.
Can't argue the palm muting, the culprit is my distortion, which I'm looking into tweaking as it's overall a little to muddy right now for the stuff I've been wanting to do lately.
There's no echo at all in the beginning, I'm picking every note.
Yeah... that pick slide bugs me too, it's on my "To fix list".
Again, working on tweaking my distortion to give it a little more clear cut sound.
Don't think I need to add bass to the guitar... I need to add a bass guitar to the song (Also on the to do list).
The entire section after 3:30 was recorded to a 12/8 metronome at 70 BPM, although I will admit one note is ever so slightly out of place, also on the "to fix list". And I may rework the drums for that section as I don't think the majority of them really compliment the 12/8 feel that well.
Thanks for the feedback, nice to get some real constructive criticism for a change! Glad you liked it!
