[Philchef]

AA got my vote.

+1

don't really know why BY is so much better in the ranking...

well, if my motivations are any of the same as others', I think it's because BY has far more bite compared to AA.

Mark and Anssi dont take me wrong but I think you should have balanced all the tracks before putting them here. Because not everybody are in same advantage point. The loudness factor can be more appealing to gain a vote. And no, I dont have my track in this round, so I am not defending myself. I just think what I said could be more fair to all.

I think it's not their job to do that, and they have done it anyway. They should have left the submissions as they were and rejected the ones that had the backing tracks or the master bus modified (rules were quite simple). It's the ones who submitted fault if the guitars are too loud.

I like AA the best.

 

[Jevil]

BY

I would say because it's the only tone that even remotely works in context with the way the mix sits.

 

[Teddyboy]

AA for me guys

I didn't scroll through the thread before I voted, but are the posts on the tones and who each person voted for visible before you vote? If they are, it may have been better as a blind test so that the opionions of others may not have effected the outcome. I guess thats kinda impossible in a forum format...

I think this is the kind of forum where people trust their ears. At least, they try to.

BY pwns all other tones in this one for me

 

[Djabthrash]

A : very defined but a bit too trebley
AA : nice but a bit too much low mids/body/too dark/beefy maybe
AZ : way too thin / trebley
B : very cool but a bit too dark/undefined
BB : way too loud, can't tell
BY : not bad but has a "processed"/digital/fizz/POD-like feel i don't like
C : very cool/balanced/defined but maybe a tad too thin

So C wins for me although it could be improved, A is not far, then B & AA

 

[lumpong_bayag]

BY got my vote, i hope its not 8505 or 7170 lol

 

[Jaymz]

How you used your available headroom was up to the submitter

Contradicts this though:

Some have louder guitars than others. No extreme differences though, the most extreme ones have been edited by Anssi.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

BY

I loved the tone on C, but the lack of tightness makes is unuseable for me

 

[Mikaël-ange]

AA for me

 

[ProjectHamsterdam]

I vote "B" - It's the best by far for me.

All the others feel way too unbalanced.

 

[El_Gato]

AA, can't wait the results.

 

[Josh Burgess]

I can't believe C only has 4 votes. It seemed like a lot of people agreed it was between BY and C...

 

[phatfil]

definitely B. could be a snatch louder but sounds good.
