Cheers Tina

I don't usually get the chance to properly "wig out" very often so when DB kept insisting he wanted "over the top" stuff I couldn't refuse and really enjoyed doing it

As for the sound you may want to sit down for this bit (and please don't hate me for doing this - I feel dirty enough already!!!!)

All the sounds were "soft" - just me in my living room with headphones, guitar (Fender strat plus with gold lace sensor pups) plugged straight into my laptop running Sonar 8.5

All guitar sounds were Guitar Rig 3 - not an amp or Marshall stack in sight ( ooh the shame )

I just loaded DB's track and played a selection of styles for him to chop up and reuse

If I get a chance tonight I will upload what I sent to DB so you can see how the collaboration worked

It was soooooooo much fun and I urge others to get involved - we are alresdy talking about another collaboration project...

well it sounds very good & had me fooled i was sure someone like you would insist on using an amp & mic
i sold my main amp when i started playing again &  using the computer to record becos i had to do it at night & sleeping children were a godsend!
i have a digitech amp sim modeler thingy which has so many amps on it ive never tried half of them
i still keep a broken amp becos i just like to look at it & it makes feel like a proper guitarist becos the amp modeler altho it makes the sounds just doesnt look like right if you know what i mean

[Boydie]

I completely understand

My gigging rig is a Fender valve combo with a Digitech GSP1101 multi fx unit - it is an awesome unit and compliments the fender clean sound perfectly (I posted a you tube clip in my introduction which shows the sounds "live")

I really rate the Digitech stuff and I am surprised it is not more widely accepted - although I think this is more down to Digitech as a company, who can be a bit strange at times

I have had a Digitech RP1, GNX2 and now the GSP1101

Like you ALL of my recording is done using software for amps, cabs etc. and now I have got used to Guitar Rig 3 I have to admit it is an awesome plug in and the convenience for late night recording with kids (and wife) in bed far outweigh any slight loss in "tone", as long as I catch the character of the song I am happy

What about the rest of the song DB? Other parts coming in?
