    Top riffing all round and once more very hard to choose just 3

    5 points - @IMC1980 - great headbanging riff and love the variation in the drums to up the ante

    3 points - @stratman3142 - not typically my type of riff (I prefer mine simple and dirty like my women) but great hook and melody

    1 point - @TTony - I almost missed this one as the guitar was very quiet in the mix. Love the grungy laid back feel

    Hard to choose. It was close at the top. I narrowed it down to

    5 points @IMC1980 High energy and full on, with 'Animal' on drums. What did you use you the drums btw?

    3 points @poopot Really like the slide and overall feel. Not sure about the change to a rim shot type snare tone at 36s, I preferred the earlier (less clicky) snare for this track, which didn't jump out so much.

    1 point @bingefeller Nice funky groove

    Ha! It is BFD3 for drums with the Groove Monkee "Metal 2" midi pack. Love BFD, the expansions cost loads though.

    The only thing that changed in that drum track was the “drummer” (logic) changed from hihat to the ride. Same snare, same eq, same everything!!!!

    Just goes to show the importance of eq!

    I guess the hihat occupied the same frequency as the snare... will look out for that in the future!!!

    Sorry I've not listened before today - I've been busy battling the multi-headed hydra that is NHS bureaucracy.
