Thank you sir!Another brutal track @megametal7 !
Just having some fun at the funny farm
Am I doing this right ?
I've seen my Focusrite 2i2 do that.It's funny you ask. Right when I clicked play my audio interface bugged out and made everything sounded the wrong bitrate, slow and choppy. I was gonna say "maybe you aren't?" until I confirmed the issue on my end
Giving me Iommi vibes, especially within the first 30 seconds.
Ok, so not sure where this one went... but it went somewhere.
My original intention was a psycho speed blues track but I scraped that and changed directions yesterday. Now it's more punkish and an instrumental guitar wankery of sorts. I was going for a live room type of feel, and threw in some psychedelics along the way.
Beyond this challenge, I've set up my own personal challenge and that is to record these tracks here under a gear theme. For now I'm sticking with color as a theme. It gives me (or forces on me) a creative direction I may not have gone otherwise.
My first theme is Red. I had to use each of these pedals in the track at some point, and they're all running through the Vox DA5 (I shit you not!).
Signal chain is:
•Partscaster>Morley Wah>Richochet>Mystic Edge>Vox DA5>line out>HoF>R.Neve DI into Motu M4.
•Studio One 6
•Metallurgy Modern (cab sim. only) for bass and guitar
•SD3 drums
•Bass guitar (is not red) running thru same chain.

SoundCloud did this track no justice... especially with the high-end and cymbals ugh, and robbed a bit of the openness.
But for now it is what it be.
Took the reigns fromThe BorgNeutron for all EQ'ing and modified the EQ'ing from Ozone. Trying my best to start taming the buildup in the upper frequencies which they seem to hype and get extremely loose and washy after enduring the SoundCloud Treatment.TM
Was going to end it around three minutes or so, but a week without distortion is a week lost. Finally did some volume automation, the fade out is still super rough between parts at the end but I may one day actually figure out how to do that passably.
Wanted to call this "Bella and Edward Under The Gazebo" but my wife already thinks I'm a dork.

At work, came up with some chords and recorded a quickie to remember it tomorrow.
Ambient pad: Children playing in backyard
Guitar used: Gwen
Some reverb on the chords and compression/tape Saturation on the fumbling melody line.
Already came up with some words "stewed moose and poodle juice" from one of the silly answers I give the children when they ask what lunch is.

Whelp.. spent hours yesterday trying to come up with verse and chorus melodies...
Then I gave up and fiddled with a synth part on the verses and added a flangey thing behind the guitars on the chorus parts.
Then, finally a little inspirado struck for a chorus line.. not sure on the exact words yet, but it's a good place holder imo. Next week I'll try the for the verses again.

Listened to this before reading and wasn't expecting a chorus to interrupt my singing! Interested to see how close your verse will be to what I just verbally diarrhea'd.Whelp.. spent hours yesterday trying to come up with verse and chorus melodies...

Just shoving this over the line …
Now I can go listen to all y’all submissions
Not sure. Little quibbles like this and constant disconnecting from the control software is grating at me.I've seen my Focusrite 2i2 do that.
What causes that ?
