Guitar Tone Competition IV! - Page 4

Trevoire520 · June 16th, 2011, 08:59 AM

I've quite struggled with this to be honest. Had another go of re-amping it yesterday so I'll see if I can get anything good and if so I'll submit it.

I'll download them all in the same sitting and send you an email when I've done so.

One more week guys.

Damn, really don't have time for this at the moment... Oh well...

Had real trouble getting a sound from the guitar DIs.
Were they EQed on the way in?
I did a Logic match EQ against a DI of my Les Paul Standard and got this

Seems like there was almost 10db too much signal at 500-2K and very little above 5k and below 200 on the supplied DIs.
I applied this match EQ setting to all guitar DIs and then it was easy to get a sound from them.
It would be hard to believe that there could be this much difference between the supplied DIs and my LP DI unless they were EQed on the way in or before bouncing.

I have MAJOR difference in sound between all my 3 guitars, so it's perfectly normal. Just deal with it

Guitar Tone Competition IV deadline extended!

Scottxx · June 29th, 2011, 10:32 AM

Is it allowed to duplicate the bass track?

I asked the same question and here is the answer: "You can process the DI tracks any way you want, but you may not edit the performance."

Anyway, thanks for those who made this competition possible.
Has there ever been a bass tone competition?

Forceps · June 29th, 2011, 03:41 PM

Hmm, I'm not gonna make it in time... so I retreat...

FF666 · July 2nd, 2011, 11:34 AM

One question about naming the files:

"- the archive file "username_guitartonecompetition3.zip/rar""

It is not the fourth guitar tone competition??

Anyway, sending my files as guitartonecompetition3

lumpong_bayag · July 10th, 2011, 01:53 AM

submission sent

jipchen · July 10th, 2011, 09:04 AM

I'm a little confused, if I set the tempo to 175 bpm the song is not 41 bars. The last drumhit is at bar 35. Did you guys all bounce from beat 1-41 (about 0:55 min)?

EDIT: Uploading the files right now, I'm not really content but I still got this damn cold (can't hear anything really) and the fever is getting worse so I don't want to fuck around with the guitar tone any longer

I am curious how many (or how few) people will submit in the end.

Soundlurker · July 10th, 2011, 11:43 AM

^ The cymbals fade out at 41

ahjteam · July 11th, 2011, 05:21 AM

submission time has ended. I will start downloading the files now.

ahjteam · July 11th, 2011, 05:49 AM

all zip/rar files have been downloaded successfully, I was slightly dissapointed by the amount of regulars who submitted, but oh well... I check each submission now and hopefully start the voting by today or tomorrow. Since I received less than 40 submissions, I will make 8 voting rounds with ~4-5 tones each, release them the same time and give you guys a week to vote and the winner of each round gets to the finals. Sound fair?

No preselection?

ahjteam · July 11th, 2011, 06:22 AM

8 pre selection rounds, which is followed by a final with those 8 winners. get it?

Soundlurker · July 11th, 2011, 08:54 AM

I still think voting shouldn't be based on a poll but on actual posts in the relevant thread from people who've been around for a while. Otherwise someone could get people to register and vote for them.

Last years winner was actually disqualified for doing it, so don't worry

ahjteam · July 11th, 2011, 09:49 AM

Okay guys, go on and vote!

The people in groups of five have a smaller chance of winning the sample pack.

20% vs 25%... And those who are competing with "inferior tones" have like... 1% chance to win it (referring to round 7, that has only 4 competitors in it with one having 100% votes so far). Life is a bit unfair sometimes

The competitors are split alphabetically (if the members would be just alphabets, they would divide so that group 1 would have A, group 2 B, group 3 C, 4 D, 5 E, 6 F, 7 G, 8 H, 1 I, 2 J etc).

nezvers · July 11th, 2011, 02:40 PM

I'm bit disappointed about how original tones don't get what they deserve!

MetalAges · July 11th, 2011, 03:16 PM

FYI also for potential voters to read - do not make multiple accounts to be able to vote more than once etc. - your votes will be disqualified. Same for posting on other sites saying "just got vote for me" etc.

Haven't seen any issues yet, but just posting due to past issues with voting competitions like this.
