Haha, though I am an "Unter-Shredder" trying to become an "Ueber-Shredder" I will take part in this for sure. I think I'm gonna teach you some german on saturday, your comment on my profile was so funny but far from being correct german laugh.gif

Is the mp3 called Collab the one we are going to use. Or is that just an example? The only reason I ask is because you say here is an example. So I am thinking this might not be the actual track we will use.... Or is it? unsure.gif

It might be hard to solo over with the lead acting as rhythm guitar on the track. Won't it sound to full?

Sorry about my bad German smile.gif I actually used Google translator for kicks and I've heard it mostly makes a gag out of the translation. I hope it gave you a good giggle. smile.gif

Glad to have you on board!

Good Question! I'm actually working on a new version to use in the Collab that will have a bit more space for Solos. This bit is a tad busy so I wanted to balance it out with a less busy part to allow for more solo flexibility.

NEW BACKING TRACK FOR PROJECT 21 COLLLAB!

I re-did the Backing. It's just killer for showing off your solo chops! Grab the backing and let me know what you think smile.gif I made one that was actually easy to solo over instead of being overly complicated and busy.

Hi Todd,

I guess the "soon-to-be Saitenakrobat" wink.gif from Germany has to start this collab tongue.gif
Some wrong notes in here, as I tried to make some parts a bit more speedy. Messed up a few legatos, but overall I'm happy with this take. I tried a new pick holding technique, I will have to practice this some more but it feels quite good when I am picking.
Hope you like my take, see you on saturday!

Weiter so! (Keep it up!)

Christian

Nicely done! wink.gif Very melodic and good use of scales as well. Can you post just your guitar track sans reverb so I can add it to the mix?

This COLLAB is open so if you have any pals you want to invite to guest solo, please do smile.gif

Very cool stuff! I can try to pull the audio out from the video track if you can't get the guitar track to upload. Nicely done!

Practice!

I think we have enough responses for a final mix. Thanks to all of you guys for such great tracks! I'm planning on mixing today and should post the final early next week!. If you want to join the collab, shoot me a quick message.

Thanks!
Todd

After waiting for some final entries, THIS COLLAB IS NOW CLOSED smile.gif

I'll be mixing this week and should post something very spiff within a few days. Thanks to everyone for participating!

Working again on this MIX. It is taking me much longer than I thought as I keep tweaking it. I really am liking the way it's sounding. I've upgraded my drums twice during this. I started with drum loops then went to EZ drummer and then added the LIBRARY OF THE EXTREME kit and DRUMS FROM HELL expansion pack. Each time the drums change the mix entirely. I"m now using the DRUMS FROM HELL with some of the LIBRARY OF THE EXTREME midi files. It's sounding killer.

Finally being able to put fills and stuff in so that it doesn't sound like just drum loops. And the "rythmizer" gives the drums a more human feel. Here is a snippet Featuring SUPERIZE on lead.

It sounds good but i get the feeling the its not very good sync at some parts

FINALLY! I actually found enough time to complete the mix on the Project 21 Collab! It turned out really well. Great job guys! I'll post it to the collab thread with full notes on your solos. For now, here is an mp3 so you can hear how it turned out. Enjoy!
