Guitar Tone competition 3 round 5

[MarkG]

This round will get 7 days because I am uploading two rounds at once.

When voting, please keep in mind this is about the guitar tone. Some have louder guitars than others. No extreme differences though. Some files were submitted with master bus changes. These were disqualified. Some files were submitted with a much louder backing track. These too were disqualified. All the uploaded files here have been checked, but it may be that we missed a mistake. If you hear that someone didn't follow the rules let Anssi and myself know.

Without further delay, here are the 7 contestants for round five.

If you recognise your own work, please keep it to yourself. Usernames will be made public in the end. Please place your vote, and post in the thread with your reasoning!

All uploaded files are 320kbps mp3s. Note that this round starts with 5B due to previous disqualification.

5 E out of those, but i didn't really like any of them tbh

 

[Lasse Lammert]

hm...really don't like any of these that much...lots of ampsims again

 

[Rex Rocker]

I liked F, but where's the center guitar??

 

[Soundlurker]

5e or 5c... going with 5c.

 

[fuge86]

c or d for me

 

[Dexter_prog]

For me it was prettty closed between 5C, 5D, and 5E. When for 5D because it was mixed the better actually (the other two where kinda low)

 

[Scottxx]

5B. I think the mids fit well with the whole sound. Nice compact sound.

 

[rchoi54]

5F had no center guitar. DQ?

 

[Wolfeman]

5E in this round, even though I think it's a tad too bass heavy. But I wasn't a fan of any of them really.

 

[ttrentt]

5G for me. The rest sound really thin. It sounds like 5G is at least a real amp in this round.

 

[Jevil]

Not very conveniced on these ones... My vote goes to 5E

 

[MetalJonesy]

Going for 5G on this, the rhythm sounds most consistent to others in the round, and as a previous poster said, sounds more like it's not an amp sim

5F had no center guitar. DQ?

DQ? Kidding right? You have plenty of time to listen the rhythm tone without the one center part (Not necessarily even center, some people panned it hard left & right )... I understand in some cases why people get disqualified but we dont need to get totally ridicilous over one missing part.. besides, it sounds good anyway. So please people, cut out the nonsense and be reasonable with the entries

Once again, you do realize that this competition is about how the guitars fit in the mix overall? By completely tossing a part, it takes away from the competition, since everyone else tried to make everything fit in context. There was plenty of discussion on all this before the competition started, maybe you should read through the thread and the rules.

Plus there's a reason why there are rules, so if one can't follow them, they gotta be disqualified (as it was a part of the rules too)

We're here to listen the whole mix, not the one part.. just dont bother with that part. I don't think people made the center part to shine out or differ much from the original rhythm tones anyway. So it should be fair enough... (Unless you don't want to get total nazi about it). There's still plenty of to listen to. Seriously, i'd like to know who makes their final decision by judging that part only.. if the rest of the mix sounds rad, then i'd say to hell with it (center part)...

Oh, and since those entries are listed here anyway, it's allowed... Most people didnt leave the center part out on purpose anyway.. they just forgot it

Calm down guys

I just started listening to the recordings.
Immediately heard something I didn't remember listening
It seems I didn't include some original DIs.
That's what happens with a lousy 20 minute rushed reamp session

IMO I should be disqualified

I know I shouldn't identify my recording but I don't think there's a chance I win
Anyhow my goal was 1 vote

when is the next round coming?
