[Ola Englund]

it's a good idea, if you need any help just let me know.

 

[lolzgreg]

I think you'd be a great candidate. I'm really liking the way your DIs sound and Ermz's backing tracks in your thread where you let people mix your song. I posted an entry there btw, check it out.

I don't care much about clean tones, because it's quite simple to get good sounding ones, to be honest, but if all of you insist, I will do clean clips or even "crunch" clips.

I've never heard any clean guitars from you... so, I gotta disagree until I hear otherwise.

Decent cleans? sure, easy. GREAT cleans? not so much... it probably depends how much you listen to music that has clean guitar tones though. you may not have much opinion on them either way if you aren't into it.

additional gear suggestions:

- AKG C414 and a tube preamp with a good compressor for cleans
- Sennheiser MD421 for dual micing
- Pod X3 for effects (modulation, reverb, delay etc)

 

[Ermz]

I'd be happy to mix whatever backing track. If I haven't been so out of practice for the last 3 years I'd also happily provide DIs, but I think Ola or Kyle are the top candidates for this.

Also, Greg, note the difference between your product with Ola's tracks and DIs as opposed to everyone's entries in the current guitar comp. It's massive, and part of what we were talking about in that thread. The backing track has to be balanced to accommodate a normal guitar tone, and the DIs themselves likely benefit from simpler material played tightly (even though in this case the tuning and performance is still a little out).

 

[LeSedna]

I'm fucking excited of all this.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

This should be awesome

 

[barricade]

[AboutBlank]

Oh Man yeah, that Shootout would be VERY welcome

I am updating this thread now. I will be providing all of the DIs and backing tracks.
