All You Need Is Rock n Roll All You Need Is Rock n Roll
This is just a simple one take test of recording with my ToneX direct using a Freidman BE-100 capture over a White Lion song with the electric guitars removed.

Highway Star Highway Star
I wanted to do a good high energy classic. I played all guitar and keyboard parts on guitar with a backing track that contained the original drums, bass and vocals.

Down Time Down Time
Testing recording classical guitar. Not a very good performance but I was mostly interested in tone and miking.

Slither Slither
I had intended for this to be instrumental but it seemed very bland so, going against my instincts, I added vocals. I'm still surprised how medium gain guitars can sound very aggressive. The solo was improvised in the appropriate style

Everlong Everlong
More lower gain testing. Had a big issue getting a usable mix out of this one. Once again the bass was heavy in the backing track. This is the best I could get. *note: a backing track without original guitar(s) was used

Alive Alive
Another lower gain test. I was lazy and just improvised the solo at the end, just trying to keep in the appropriate style, so it's not so great but it fills the void. note: a backing track without original guitar(s) was used

Another attempt at multi-tracking lower gain guitars for a high gain song. note: a backing track without original guitar(s) was used

Panama Panama
Yup, another VH song. Testing recording with a bit less gain for clarity... but it still sounds like a ton of gain...must be the natural compression of my Mark IV. note: a backing track without original guitar(s) was used

Plush Plush
testing recording a bit less gain and more textural guitars than I normally do. All guitar tracks recorded in 14 minutes total... a record for me ;). note: a backing track without original guitar(s) was used

More experimentation with guitar recording and mixing combining mics and sound impulses for cabs. note: a backing track without original guitar(s) was used

I guess this fall into the oldie but goodie category. Once again me doing the guitar parts. note: a backing track without original guitar(s) was used

Crazy Train Crazy Train
Another original track minus the guitars. I decided to try triple tracking (left, center, right) the rhythm and leads to see how it would sound. I only had 45 minutes to set up and record all three tracks so it has flaws but servers it's purpose.

Sample Rhythm Track Sample Rhythm Track
Another DI test. Process: put together quick drum track, arm guitar track, hit record, play whatever comes out, keep it, add bass, keys, etc. I don't know if I'll do anything with this as it's very basic but wanted to post as another Bias example.

Eruption Eruption
I remembered having tried to directly record a guitar from my GNX3 about 13 years ago and dug up this file. I thought I'd post it here for comparison with my Fade recording which used all software. The actual playing here is way off but was fun then.

As I am (no-solo yet) As I am (no-solo yet)
This upload was to get a sense of the effects of the mp3 compression on a seven string recording. I'll add a solo section soon to at least complete the song

Mr Scary - Single Guitar Track Mr Scary - Single Guitar Track
I wanted to to a version with only a single guitar track with one take. There are some errors, I'm sure, but wanted to get that raw sound of one track with one pass.

Flying High Again Flying High Again
This was a test for doubling the guitar parts to see how it would turn out. I recorded the guitar parts for this using the original tracks minus the guitar tracks. This is my first attempt at an Ozzy song.

Tush Tush
I found a backing track with a vocalist on it and added the guitar. I was rather lazy as I didn't even listen to the original song before recording the guitar tracks. I simply went by memory so it's probably way off but was fun none-the-less.

Bark at the Moon Bark at the Moon
I found a backing track without any guitar so added my own. As per usual I'm going for the general feel not an attempt to do a note for note rendition.

Very quick and sloppy rendition of Meanstreet with original vocals, drums and bass. Obviously,not an attempt to go note for note
