Bellycaster

Just spotted the Video, that was awesome @Modellista but I almost hate you for that perfect "One Take"

The amount of Takes I do has a "1" in it.

What a great playlist for listening to on the commute.

@fastonebaz it would have been Izzy for you to record a Duff solo but came out Gunning, Rose up and Slashed it. I'm under no Illusion that you've an Appetite for this type of thing...

fastonebaz

Oh god @Modellista look what you've started now!  Now there's no stopping us....  Here's how mine entry is played:



DI into Cubase with some inserts, audio out of audio interface DI into camcorder mic input, video edited in Hitfilm Express.

Haha very good.   But believe it or not, I've never owned any of their albums and I can't stand them lol

I have joined the fray.

I am afraid I don't understand all that stuff about 5db headroom and stuff so I just made it quiet.

I've already allowed for the 5dB headroom. All you should need to do is just add your solo, without adjusting the overall levels.

@Veganic do you mind if I boost your entry because it's extremely quiet . Or was that the effect you were going for.

Veganic

@stratman3142 ; please do.

I really don't know what I am doing. I have to record the backing from the headphone out on my phone and add the guitar to that.

Added to playlist. That makes 7 entries.

@Veganic is that a fuzz tone you've got there?

At this point I am not sure if that is a joke.

It is a Vox VT+: US high gain custom which is modelled on a Soldano SLO. I added a load of compression and some delay. No fuzz at all.
Here's the weird thing, I used a telecaster and it seems to be making everything with any gain sound really digital or square-wavey. It sounds way more sensible with humbuckers.

@fastonebaz

Edit: I just listened to it again, I can see what you mean now.

Entry closed.

@Veganic it was a genuine comment, just wondered about how you got your tone.

Sadly I was rehearsing last night and forgot to upload mine. I recorded it on the first weekend too pffft.

That's a tricky one for me. If nobody objects, I'm inclined to say send it in.

As a compromise, maybe we could say that those that have already voted by the time it's added to the playlist, can't change their vote.

Does anyone object to this? It's just for fun anyway.

Veganic

No one objects.
