Slingy's Thread

I'm tired of making a new thread for all my noodles. So here is one for myself to post in when I have new stuff. So going forward I will just bump this thread if I have a new track. Or you can browse all my songs at either, http://www.riffworld.com/Members/GuitarSlinger or http://www.soundclick.com/slingy but I don't update that one much. Comments are welcome as I'm always trying to improve things.

Ok here is a new track I had alot of fun with. I used an Ernie Ball Music Man Luke guitar and also an MM bass and a PodStudio UX2.

Re: Slingy's Thread

Dude! Sounds great! Really tight. Are you going to do anything else on it? Like vocals or lead guitar?

Re: Slingy's Thread

Slingy,
sounds good, though it seems like it needs something more: (like mikey says) like it needs vocals or more lead guitar. Is there phaser on the guitar? The cymbals sounds phasey also. Probably an mp3 thing?

  Re: Slingy's Thread
  
  Aaron you have bionic ears. No it's quite obvious, I can hear it too. The phasing is slightly annoying, but I can live with it. It came from the analog chorus and from using rifflink which makes stereo guitars mono. I could redo, but I just can't spend a ton of time on these. I don't go crazy on the mastering or anything. Eventually, if a song turns out well, I can redo them later. The amp sims are VOX AC30 with Rat distortion on the rhythms and it was fun playing a tiny of bit of slide which I am terrible at.

    Re: Slingy's Thread
    
    Cool,
    
    I like it - it's ballsy and it's got some punch. I hear ya - I would rather spend more time playing and less time on the computer. This home recording stuff if pretty amazing. I wonder sometimes if the sound quality don't become more important than the music though...? Even with some of the structured jazz and complicated chord structures, each bar is identical and precise. I always like the dudes who could lay something rockin and hypnotique down, play a chord or a riff and emphasize certain strings and tones like talking - puts the human element back into it. Anyhow - cool

    You might consider hooking up with Arron..his vocals might fit in real well with what you are doing...

Re: Slingy's Thread

Here's a little something I started. Whole song is one patch, but used the volume knobs and coil splitting to get different sounds. We'll see where this goes.

  Slingy,
  I tried a couple of times, but couldn't play your song. I downloaded the mp3 & it wouldn't play either. I'm using a new iMac.

Re: Slingy's Thread

Two new songs since my last visit here. I think you'll really like them both.

First has me on all rhythm and lead lines. Friends on bass and the two solos in the break.

http://www.riffworld.com/Members/GuitarSlinger/recklessdrivers

The second is all me the whole way. I really like this one alot.

  Slingy,
  "Reckless": playing is tight! Sounds very good!! I wouldn't mind hearing some vocals on it. Very good recording! "For God Sakes" sounds good also! I wish you sustained the end a little bit. Nice wah: what is it?

Re: Slingy's Thread

Here's a little rough sketch of what I just started. I'm using the dual treadplate all the time for rhythms now and the Adam and Eve bass amp with 8x10 cab

  Slingy,
  Playing is tight. Guitar riffs are OK, but sound repetitive without vocals. I'm more impressed with the bass tone & riff during the verse. Drums are good.
