DOOM | Plutonia MIDI Pack - Cry of Desperation [Cover By DAR] - MAP31 | {MUSIC PACK IN DESCRIPTION} 

At long last, the Plutonia Marathon is complete! It is truly the end of an era here on the channel. We embarked on this grand marathon in July of 2018, and now after six years, we're finally here!
Thank you all so much for your patience, and for all the kind comments and support over these years! As per tradition, let's fondly look back at all the videos and their respective comments! Also apologies if I missed anyone, I tried my best to try and get everybody in here.
There's quite a lot going on in this one. I did wind up changing the acoustic part a bit, but maintained the original bit via some pizzicato strings. Also threw in some choir on top of the string section, which kinda gave me some E1M8 vibes. Thus, I couldn't resist the urge to throw in E1M8's bends, since it just felt so right here.
I also got to record my actual violin for the first time in a couple of years (or however long ago its been since I did MAP03 from JPCP). I was eyeballing the MIDI and thought, "Huh, I think I could probably try and play that..."
Things were sounding really rough though, since I haven't had the time to pick up and practice the violin since the last time it made an appearance here on the channel. However, after being stubborn as hell about wanting an actual violin recorded, I eventually got a take recorded.
I was prepared to scrap it since I wasn't too sure of the tone, microphone placement, as well as my performance. That and it was during the evening of July 4th, so fireworks and firecrackers were all popping off. To my surprise though, everything turned out alright! I was very happy that all the time I had spent trying to play that bit was worth it in the end.
Really liked this part since it felt like an old west, cowboy DoomGuy riding off into the sunset. Rather fitting for where we're at in the marathon! Wanting to lean in on this vibe, I threw in some trumpets and even an accordion to accompany the violin.
Doing all this didn't come without a price to pay though, I wound up injuring my elbow and wrist a bit. Totally poor posture and improper technique on my part! Should've been more careful about that... So I was pretty much out of commission the next day (recording-wise), took a couple of aspirins and went about my usual business.
After a day of rest, I had to very carefully record the leads, since my wrist was still a bit sore. Was worried that my noodling and lead work would suffer from feelin handicapped with my wrist. Thankfully, I was able to noodle to my heart's content, without aggravating any of the prior day's soreness!
That aside, the new shiny toy of darkness (man, this 7-string is SO black), got to shine not only in the expected chugga-chugga duties, but I quite enjoyed the clean tone I got out of it! I just sort of started playing something, and then came up with a harmonized part to throw over on to the opposite side of the stereo field.
Also, I was a bit worried about how my acoustic would sound, since I wasn't too confident in my mic placement. But just like the violin, I was pleasantly surprised when I started mixing the double-tracked takes I did for the acoustic!
Anyways, man, what a ride its been to get to this point! I hope you all enjoy the cover! Happy DooMing to all who play Plutonia with my music pack =). ~DAR
