RiffCasts

My take on some of the alt rock stuff out there such as Modest Mouse and the like. My friend Nathan played the bass line...I really like what he came up with for the chourus. I used an Ibenez for the electric gtr parts, and an Alvarez acoustic to double the electric during the chourus.

Alvarez acoustic on the verses, and PeaveyWVH on the chorus. All synth like sounds were done with an EBow and riffworks effects. This is gonna be a vocal song, so I won'tfocus on leads yet until I know for sure where the breaks are gonna be.

I have this posted on Riff-link...it needs some more ideas, any takers?

This is my first recording using Riffworks Standard :)

Re-arranged an older tune with new leads and a new mix, I used a Fender Fat Strat for all the leads on this one. * * * Do you Yahoo!? Next-gen email? Have it all with the [ all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta.][1] [1]: http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42241/*http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/handraisers

I re-recorded all the guitars, except 2 of the leads. Also, I added a few more leads and additional rhythm guitar parts. * * * Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the [ all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta.][1] [1]: http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42297/*http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/handraisers

This is something I came up with tonight after I closed the bar down. I used my black Gibson SG with dual EMG's into a JCM 900 sim. I also cleaned up the file a bit with Audacity.

This is one of the tunes I was trying to develop for the Riffrumble. Still a ways to go I think. Shawn. * * * Ring'em or ping'em. Make [ PC-to-phone calls as low as 1/min][1] with Yahoo!

I worked like hell on something new for this contest, but I really struggled with the mix on it. Then in a last minute change of plan, I opted to go with this track instead. :) * * * Yahoo!

Nothing much here, just a slammin' rocker! :) Since I purchased Riffworks, I have recorded over a hundred tunes. This was the most difficult one I have yet to encounter. Not so much in the performance as it was with mixing it; That really kicked my ass! Hope you like, and as always, I respect your opinions welcome feedback on my efforts.
