Let's get ready to RUMBLE

This is an oldie but a goodie.  I just had to do it.

 

Cheers,

      Crusty Wonder Down Under,

      Guitar tone is perhaps a teensy bit harsh in my headphones, but otherwise good!  Guitar playing is good!  That one cymbal/ride is a bit machine-like: perhaps having more of a random velocity/volume would help.  Otherwise, it sounds quite good!

          I would play the tune on my iMac speakers, but my daughter just went to bed.  I have only listened to it once before & that was 4 hours ago.  It would appear that the guitar has less high frequency harshness & the ride has better volume randomness (both good), but now the drums seem too loud to me.  I know my hearing is not 100% consistent, so if you're happy with the mix, that's more important than my opinion......OK, I'm listening to your old version again.  Yes, I think you need to either turn the guitar UP or turn the drums DOWN, or a little of each (on the new mix).  Then again, I know it might sound quite different on other headphones or a different sound system.

              Crusty,

              Your lastest is definitely the best.  I can't listen to it very loud without the guitar hurting my ears though (with headphones).

    It's a great tune to evaluate the software. Great demo tune. Cleanly played, a chord that will break up with distoshun and a lead run. I didn't hear any harshness in the tone at all. Very natural sounding. I thought AC/DC. SG/Marshall. It was a little too far out front. Like it was made for evaluating that particular tone. It needs another big meaty track to go with it. And a thumpin bass guitar. Then, all you need are some sophomoric lyrics and a good looking drunken singer with ********* the size of raisins and you're in business. Come to think of it, all you really need is the good looking drunken singer with the aforementioned testicular deformity.

     

    With Sonar, you can automate Pod Farm/Guitar Rig/Amplitube/Whatever in real time. As the track is playing. You can adjust most of the parameters on the fly. Change amp models, delay values, pop a compressor on for just a few seconds.  And once its drawn on the track you just grab nodules to fine tune. Mind boggling. You can also add other effects and automate them in real time. When you get an automation you like, you can render that to audio and thus, release the load on your computer. Crusty's dry track can be manipulated in an almost unlimited way.

     

    And with a track like this, you have time to really change things up between chords. You could speed up/down the tremolo. It would be impressive to go from a surfy-type vibe into a country feel and then progress to the rockin AC/DC without recording anything new. And, if you made a similar simple type lead on top, you could really genre-hop. Something simple with a few bends and sustained notes, some funky rythyms.

     

    I'd take a crack at it.

     

    Oh yea, we have Outback Steakhouse here and the commercials have a guy with the thickest accent I've ever heard. It's loik, crikey! Auootbaack Staikhowse! Like his nose is stopped up. As a Minnesota resident offended by the dialect in "Fargo", I thought I'd make you aware.
