Raw Riff of the Month (RRotM) #35 - Chat

stratman3142

Here's the 35th RAW Riff of the Month (RRotM) Challenge, being run by @stratman3142 and @TTony.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 11:30pm on 23rd April 2018.

RAW Riff of the Month (RRotm) is different to the other (RotM) riff challenge because you are only allowed to submit a recording with one layer of guitar, but you can use standard guitar effects such as wah, distortion, delay, modulation etc. This is all about one amazing riff and nothing else. 

All you have to do is ...

Write a riff.

Record it with one layer of guitar (standard guitar effects are also permitted)

Keep it to a maximum of 50 seconds. This is about riffs, not songs.

Send your entry (as an mp3) to riffs@theFB.co.uk

Include your forum name in the email.

Voting will start soon after the submission deadline of 23rd April 2018, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.

First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point

Voting will end on 11.30pm 30th April 2018

The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.

No prizes. It's just for fun.

As people submit their entries, I'll post them below to hopefully promote some discussion on approaches used.

Sent mine.  I recorded mine using a built in Logic Pro X guitar amp and I think it doesn't sound too bad for an amp simulation built into a DAW.

Received. As I said in the OP, I'll post these in a playlist as we go, but it might take me a couple of days because I'll be away from home.

I just used my Michael Kelly 1955 cc into dual amp sims in a Boss GT 001 with reverb and EQ within the unit, and a tiny bit more EQ in Reaper to subtract the harshest frequencies.and tighten the sound.
