Guitar Tone Competition 3: Planning phase

[Trevoire520]

This would be a good opportunity to work on my guitar tones. Sign me up!

 

[Qvid]

I'm in. It's great fun!

 

[AEL89]

I'd like to have a go too!

 

[LeSedna]

why not give Elephant to the second and the mastering strip to the 1st ?

 

[Jevil]

I'M IN.

+ 1 to Lesedna's proposal.

Because the prizes were asked only for the winner from the sponsors. But the winner can give out the prize away to a runner up if he/she wishes so.

 

[Nukular!]

I'm in!

 

[vaiman]

I'm in

 

[AHChris]

I don´t think that I´ll have any chance but FUCK IT, I´m in!

 

[Daunt]

I'm in!

 

[theforgotten]

We're all in! ))

 

[Wolfeman]

You'd be surprised, some amp sims and newbs made it to the finals last time! Doesn't hurt to try, the more we have doing this the more fun it is.

 

[Ermz]

Totally, and the winning amp was from a brand that's almost universally denounced amongst tube amp 'connoisseurs', so you never know. I half expect an amp sim to take it this time around.

 

[Soundlurker]

Judging by the list we'll soon have a hundred participants...epic!
On the other hand it would be pretty tiring to listen to all of the submissions, especially later on when you just get saturated and can't decide what sounds good/best any more.

Looks like this will be the biggest installment yet. I most definitely won't be as lenient as last time. Too late or wrong = you're out.

 

[JGolden]

I'm in.

 

[muckypup1]

This should be good

Any news on how the DI tracks are going? Like how much has been tracked so far?

I have a demoversion of the song already. We might give y'all a sneak preview at some point, but thats totally up to Jeff as it is his song. But here are the "Andy Sneap forum metaphor" lyrics I wrote for it (and Jeff finetuned them how a native speaker would write them):

you think there's nothing wrong
lost in an endless maze
the bigger picture unraveled
an obscure, broken shell

now struggling on the way
this supposed enlightened path
aimlessly wandering
this long road

what eyes can not behold
the mind should not compute
why have I been so blind?

glazed eyes can't see
you lack the one thing
needed for control
clueless son
apprentice undone
with no oversight


edit: btw notice the power of the internet: music from USA, vocals from Marocco, lyrics from Finland, final mixing in Australia
