wern101 You gots the funk! (How do you do that?) Really dug the track, although the vocals were a bit soft and had to listen a few times to find out what you said

Thanks Wern! Since you asked...(and nobody is really interested :p) :

1 track of Bass : P-style Hofner bass w/Zoom B2 into interface. A evolution of the funky a$$ patch I've been working on for a while now. A combo of auto-wah, drive, compressor and octaver - it's syrup-y bass goodness - Kinda synth-y when you hold notes and percussive if playing staccato.

1 track of Guitar : Strat (pos 4, neck + bridge) into Wizards buffer/drive pedal (used a hint of gain) straight into interface. Did add a amp sim (Lepou 456) and a cab sim (Eden Bass cab 4x10)

1 track of Drums : Addictive drums.

A 'vocal' track using a really crappy old Carol mic I had lying around.

No quantizing or studio trickery on any tracks either ? - just played as heard. P.s. I'm no singer/rapper - but I couldn't find anyone else!

wern101 I'd be happy to make the track available to Guitar Talk as per comp rules, but would be more inclined to redo it, with a proper backtrack! Maybe a mix up of all the entries? I think that a number of Genres/styles are represented. Open to any collaborations or ideas.

I'd be happy to support that. It just needs a deadline or it'll drag on. 14 days sound good?

Congratulations @wern101 !

wern101 I personally miss the rhythm guitars though, IMO I think it would have made for a ‘fuller’ sound? What setting(s) did you use for the lead?

Thanks Wern. I deliberately went for a 80's feel with some cheesy synth tones. The rhythm guitar on top of that was a bit much, so I left most of it out. I could've done a better job with the mix which may have resulted in that "fuller" sound.
I used a Rectifier amp sim on my GT100, played on my Ibanez AF105. Single coil guitars sounded a little thin and the Super 58 humbuckers on that hollow-body offered much more substance to my tone. I am sure I can do better with the tools I have, but am still a novice on the overdrive/distortion tone front. Clean tones have always been my thing.

NorioDS I'd be happy to support that. It just needs a deadline or it'll drag on. 14 days sound good?

I think that's fair. I suck at mixing though. If there's anyone that can assist it would be greatly appreciated! ?

Ah! The secrets are being revealed. Thanks V8 Didn't think it could have been a Bass!

Jazzman105 Thanks Wern. I deliberately went for a 80's feel with some cheesy synth tones. The rhythm guitar on top of that was a bit much, so I left most of it out. I could've done a better job with the mix which may have resulted in that "fuller" sound.

Thanks for the 'how to'. Great to learn from other muso's. Don't be too hard on yourself. I think the tone was great! And we are 'all' always seeking for that specific tone. I guess it's the guitarist's bane

Thanks again everyone. :-)

Voucher received thank you! Watch out Takealot - here I come!!!

wern101 Voucher received thank you! Watch out Takealot - here I come!!!

If you buy any guitar stuff, we'd love to see!!! ?

Of Course! I may just go for that Squier by Fender Acoustic. Been meaning to get another acoustic for a while. I know it's not a 'top of the line' but definitely a step-up from my current gear. + The kids will probably also benefit from it... if I ever let them near it.

Congrats Wern. You truly deserve this win.

Been quite round these parts!

Guys, I need help with a mash-up/mix of the comp. I really really!! suck at mixing. ?

If anyone is able to assist?

Tnx.

Maybe i can help but what is the deadline?
Send me a message to my gmail address with requirements and i will see if traktion can do its magic.

Stoffeltoo Maybe i can help but what is the deadline?

It was 14 days since 5 days ago, so 9 days left...

No specific requirements I think. We just wanna do a mash up of all the entries. @V8 also suggested it. Maybe he has some ideas?

I wouldn't know where to begin... ?

Jo Jo, a stiff one. Going to give it a try on monday

wern101 Idea's...me? Errrr, kinda busy again, work is unrelenting this time of year. Don't see me getting anytime before wednesday

OK I have finished the mashup will send it to the competitors for a review.
If happy, just indicate so on this discussion and I will send to NorioDS for further use.

wern101 Done! e mail sent

Stoffeltoo Received. Sounds good to me! Thanks Stoffeltoo!
