I’m fighting a hangover but you’re all making it feel better! Thank you!!!
When I can hear something above whisper volume without my head caving in I’ll check the newest submissions, last night got away from me a bit….or I got away from last night, not totally sure but everything hurts. Definitely having some Apple Jacks for breakfast.

Very trippy! I really enjoy the diversity we have going in this challenge. From Death/Thrash Metal to relaxed blues and electro stuff - it's all here. Thanks for broadening my horizon!

Here is my thing of the week:
[edit, something sounds remarkably wrong, here!]
Guitars are my Kraushaar, the electric high strung is a Peavey EXP Tele, Amp is a Laney GH50L into captor X, all guitars have a healthy dose of tc elctronic D two delay. Valhalla Verb for the textures.
Bass is a Japanese P DI, drums are Superior drummer two.
Am i late?
I don't know, time zones are weird and I don't really care about the points. I did a thing.

Very cool.Who's the f*****g, ignorant ass moron who is gonna post after Drew and follow that?? Anyone?
Er, uhm, I have to get something in before the deadline. I made a promise to myself to see this thing
through no matter what--- and challenge myself with awkardness and seemingly unending discomfort.
I swore not to use any of my favorite amp models, and default to my comfort zone.
I love my comfort zone so much.
To be honest, posting after Drew I feel a bit like a Priest f*****g a Pornstar right about now.
All 3 guitar tracks are Fractal Super Reverb.
All G & L Doheny (think Jazzmaster) tuned to drop C
Squier Paranormal Bass
Drums are the "Alt. Rock" file from week 1
Windows 10/Reaper/Tascam Model 12 Interface
A RHCP vibe!!! I could hear Anthony Kiedis singing over top of that any day.

Ok, I'm birthing this one before I get sick of it, I'm pretty much out of time to f*ck with it anymore, anyway. I put a lot of time into this one thanks to having last Monday off. Big Ryche influence on this one. Tricky getting the mix right, it definitely needs some work but there's a lot of f*cking tracks in this. It's not really 9 mins long, I gotta chop the end off.
Guitars-
Distorted- Orville w/ Aldrich pickup
Clean- Gilmour Strat
12-string Johnson C-POS model
Acoustic- Breedlove (can't remember the model name)
AxeFX handled all the amp stuff, the acoustics were recorded with a 57. The distorted guitars are quad tracked and all the acoustic stuff is doubled. Distorted guitars are panned hard left and right and what I dig about it the most is that it sounds like they're right up the middle, as if it's one giant guitar. You can hear every little f*ck up, too.Used a Splawn Nitro and Quickrod then Leon's GoT Mark IV Filthy preset and another track of JPIIC+. Lead is a JPIIC+ using a Cantrell wah block.
Drums are SD3 and could be a little louder in the mix. Any reverb you hear on the kit is from Abbey Road Plates.
Strings/Choir/Synths are all East West's Opus with multiple libraries loaded in. That plug-in saves so much time when layering pads/strings, I can just jump from library to library in a click. I just use the same MIDI notes and bounce each string/voice section down, same with the synth sounds. There's about 20 tracks of just synths/voices.
My ears need a break for a bit then I'll catch up the newer submissions.
I love the epic cinematic feel! This is so good.
I’m a sucker for heavy riffs with bends and the one around 7:00 is so choice

That was great! It sounds so happy
The bass is really well done and fits the drum track
Nice work!

This sounds very good, woody! I love the ping-pong delay theme that runs through the song and the playing on top of that is very tasteful. Me likey!

Definitely got a summer-sun-beach vibe from this! So where‘s my cool drink and a nice ice cream, huh? Nice, sir!
You have proven that a priest fucking a porn star can be a good thing.

Mojo sent on the dead speaker

I liked it. In fact I sat there playing with it for an hour, finding every chord and voicing I could think of that worked with it. Iow, it just raised my understanding of guitar theory quite a bit!Who's the f*****g, ignorant ass moron who is gonna post after Drew and follow that?? Anyone?

Man I love the guitar tones in this and there's so much great/tasty feel all over this, this is outstanding, man!!
It's perfect for my Apple Jacks state of mind today, on my third listen.

Oh right out of the gate I'm stoked, I'm a sucker for any rhythmic delay stuff and the panning of those delays is f*cking great. This reminds me of U2 spending some time in Nasvhille. Damn, I think we have a D-Two in the AxeFX? I want to f*ck around with delays now. Great work, man!!

Not sure how I missed the track when I quoted you upstream, but glad I noticed it when I went back. Good stuff!

Very cool. Has a Police meets modern worship music vibe to it. Keep 'em coming!

Their compression sucks! I mentioned elsewhere comparing the outcome and Dropbox doesn't
squish the fuck out of a track like Soundcloud does. My hunch is they convert ALL uploaded tracks
to lower quality MP3s regardless of what type of file you upload.

You should see my Kiedis inspired porn stache.
