You could totally shop a lot of these tracks to live progressive metal bands’ management for writing credit and a share of royalties. I’m not sure how licensing works with the tool creators though. My knowledge on music licensing is a couple decades old now.

🤔 I’d have to do some homework but I like where you’re going with this.
Yeah if you find a couple of bands that have similar vocal style and give them copies of the copyrighted demos, and transcriptions of the instrument parts so they can play them true, that’d be cool. Do those tools have automatic transcription ability to sheet music? So cool.
This way of writing is especially interesting to me after playing guitar for 30 years of my life but realizing I’m never going to be an Yngwie Malmsteen, but still having so many song concepts in my head that I was never able to get onto the fretboard.
Interesting. Thank you for this. I have all the lyrics and can create the music sheets with them on Logic Pro.
You have any concepts in mind? I’d love to try the out and see what I can do with them
I’ll see what I can dig up of some really rough recordings that I kept so as not to lose the ideas. I suffered a data loss last year when I was flashing Linux onto a drive and had it pointed at the wrong volume 🤦‍♂️ I wasn’t too upset at the time cause I had backed up really critical life stuff and basically just inadvertently housecleaned 20 years and hundreds of GB of crap down to what I can put on a small thumb drive. My backups aren’t multi day affairs now lol.
I just used a Boss GT10 for endless effects combinations, and to digitize my guitar signal so I could go in to the PC sound card via USB. Before that it was straight LR line input from an overdriven peavey practice amp
Damn. Let me know what you dig up and let’s go after it.
This is one really rough concept recording I did in 2004 with direct line input from an overdriven Peavey practice amp into the single line input on the sound card on my Pentium 2 PC. The chorus parts are very repetitive and skippable, but I liked the way the solo that starts at 1:59 worked out. I used free click track and drum-on-keyboard software. Free mixdown software. The only hitch was that all three guitar parts had to be played in a single take from the beginning of the song to the end, playing in sync by ear in real time. I couldn’t splice anything with the software I was using so I had to do it all long hand including the small drum fills. Took quite a few takes. I wish I had some more source audio of the solo.
