21 audiosprite (used ampsims) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1338211/GTC4mp3/21.mp3
Bass guitar (audiosprite_picture004)
- Amp was simply TSE Bod (Onqel) with the bass knob cranked. I experimented with Pod Farm 2's 1989 Eighties amp but chose BOD for its presence.
- Next was the ModernExciter (Antress) with the Low knob at 9:00 to breathe life into the amp sim.
- Electri-Q (AIXcoustic Creations) for a HPF at 38Hz, and a high shelving filter at 2.2kHz taking off 4.4dB to reduce finger noise.
- Lightweight Compressor (Christian W. Budde) with a moderate ratio to soften the attack.
Rhythm guitar (audiosprite_picture003)
- Electri-Q with a 2dB high shelf at 1.4kHz in place of a booster sim. TSS give the rhythm guitars a twangy attack.
- AcmeBarGig's Gimme Head amp sim with the knobs barely varying from 12:00. After experimenting with many other amp sims including heavier ones like TSE X50 and LeCto) I went with Gimme Head to accentuate the pop-punk feel of the tune. I felt that an 'imperfect,' raw, grainy tone would make the song the most fun to listen to.
- LeCab (LePou) with six blended IRs: lolzgreg's ASEM Recto V30 L2, catharsis-awesometime-fredman's s-preshigh, GuitarHacks' EDGE -1 I Inch ala Sneap and JJ BBAE-1, RedWire's Marshall1960A-G12Ms-SM57-Cap-2in, God's Cab's NT5_left_dead_room_pres_4.
- FerricTDS with the dynamic and saturation knobs maxed, because it sounded good.
- ModernExciter with the Low knob set at 12:30, to try to emulate cab speaker movement.
- C4 Multiband Compressor (Waves) set at Erik Monsonis' settings in the God's Cab thread.
- Electri-Q with a HPF at 86Hz, a LPF at 9.6kHz, cut at 3kHz to avoid masking the leads, and attenuation from 4-7kHz to dull some of the amp hiss (it's a bright amp).
Lead guitar (audiosprite_picture002)
- TS's Secret (BTE) as a booster, Sneap settings.
- Gimme Head amp sim again so the tone would resonante best with the rhythm guitars.
- keFIR loaded with lolzgreg's ASEM Recto V30 L2 impulse response
- Electri-Q with a HPF starting just above 100Hz, boost around 3kHz, and a sharp LPF at 13kHz.
- Twin Delay (Rhythm Lab) to give the tune a slight post-rock feel.

25 wolfeman (used real amps) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1338211/GTC4mp3/25.mp3
All guitars were reamped through a Wolfe Amplification Stinger Head and a Wolfe Amplification 2x12. Two mics were used, an Audix i5 on a V30 and a MD421 on a T75. Mics were blended to taste in the DAW. Tried to use minimal plugins for the guitars. Rhythm tracks had Antress ModernConsoleEQ, and LOSER stereoEnhancer. Leads were Antress ModernCompressor and ReaDelay.
Bass was straight up TSE B.O.D
Nothing fancy. For the life of me I couldn't get rid of some shrill sound that would pop up in the DI's. Maybe I'm the only one that hears it, but after trying multiple amps, cabs, EQ's. etc I couldn't isolate it without destroying the guitar tone even worse. I'm interested to see if other submissions have the same noise.

Bass: just onQel's B.O.D blended with the original DI-track and a little bit of EQ + Satson Channel
Guitars:
Rhythm guitars were reamped through an Orange Tiny Terror (unboosted), the cab was a Mesa
Boogie Thiele box with a Vintage 30 speaker. One Sm57 between cap and edge position about 1“
from the grill, into Summit Audio 2ba-221.
In Cubase I added Satson Buss, some EQ boosts + Pultec EQ for the Hi- and Lo-Pass
On the lead guitars I used the UAD 1176 just to smooth the Di-track a little bit and an amp-sim
called Kuassa Amplification Creme with it's cab-sim enabled.
Pultec Eq once again for the Hi- and Lo-Pass and a touch of a small Hall from Lexicon's Pantheon
plug-in.

bass -
I took 3 track of the bass :
first one was the TSE BOD 1.0 which is awesome plugin for tone shaping ... then I compressed this track with stage comprassion
the second track was AmpegSVX for more tone shaping of the bass
last one was Podfarm 2 for color and then EQ
all of this sended to a buss -
it has impulse loader with bass impulse , eq and limiters and then ozone 4 for some staturation
Rhytms guitars -
one of the rhytms was podfarm2 with the cab to a impulse loader of catharsis impulse.
the second one was poulin lecto to same impulse
then they sended to a buss that has EQs , staturations , and tiny bit of verb
lead guitars -
one was podfarm2 and the second one was 8505 to same impulse of the rhytms guitar.
sended to a buss with EQs , staturation , verb and delay
note : the guitars were boosted with Tubescreamer or with an ampsim in clean channel.
second note : in beginning the rhytms guitars are panned center

43 menthal (used real amps, advanced to the finals) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1338211/GTC4mp3/43.mp3
Recording process:
The guitars were record with the use of a Traynor YBA-1 amp boosted with a DIY TS808(with Volume on 75%, Drive at 0% and Tone on 60%). The amp has been rebuilt by me so it's fairly unique.
The speaker cabinet was a Harely Benton Vintage, loaded with V30's.
Mic used was a single SM57 going into a Studio Projects - VTB1 end then straight into the soundcard.
Re-amping box used was a Palmer Daccapo.
Mixing process:
The rhythm guitars were only gated, the lead guitars were also gated and I removed some high end treble around 5.5kHz and up. The lead guitars also got a tad reverb on them. When the second lead guitar comes in the both lead tracks are panned R45 and L45.
The bass is going through PodFarm2, one track is semi clean and the other track got more overdrive and is also HP-filtered at 250Hz. I used the Bass Overdrive in PodFarm2 on the overdrive track.
These bass tracks goes to a group channel and are HP-filtered at 40Hz.
Also, I've added som bass with eq at 150Hz.
