[RAW] RotM #23 - Chat

Antique_Guitars

Hey everyone welcome to our RAW RotM Challenge! 

This is the 23rd RAW Riff of the Month (RotM) Challenge, being run by @Antique_Guitars and @TTony 

RAW is different to the other riff challenge because you are only allowed to submit recordings with one layer of guitar and no other sounds, this is all about one amazing riff and nothing else. 


The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 24th January. 

All you have to do is ... 

• Write a guitar riff
  
• Keep it to a maximum of 50 seconds
  
• Submit it to us by the closing date
  

Challenge opens on the 1st of every month, and closes on the 24th of the month 
Voting opens on the 25th of the month, and closes on the last day of the month, when the winner will be announced. 

Send your tracks to riffs@theFB.co.uk 

The tracks will be uploaded to our SoundCloud account and saved in a playlist that will be linked below

@kin great riff but there's something weird going on in the right channel. Was that planned?

kin

No mate. Nothing was planned but there is something weird going on.

I was trying out a new amp sim , thm overloud inside Auria. I was enjoying the sound I was getting , the riff was more or less the first thing I played and I pressed record.

I messed around with it afterwards but that weird right channel thing won't go away, the preset I used was called guitar hero, so I think the sim is basically saying  "who are you trying to kid "

Ah, sorry Sheldon! I kept getting a bounce back - does the riffs address go to more than one account?

Here's what I got:

Teetonetal

@Antique_Guitars I think you put @stratman3142's SOTM entry up in this playlist. (which is excellent by the way)

Riff riffed and entered.  :bz


For those interested, I jotted down the signal path. This is my (very) low volume DI'd setup that has evolved organically over the years. It seems complex but I can be up and recording with the flicking of a couple of switches, bringing the faders up on the desk and pressing play on the minidisc recorder. I have the luxury of a home studio (-come-office, -come-workshop) with everything permanently set up.
