In this session I’ve completely readjusted the guitar. I had to adjust the string height, intonation, truss rod. IT turns out this whole time my strings were tighter than they needed to be, made recording more difficult. Now the instrument is easier to play, less wrestling and more playing. 

I also made numerous improvements to my SongCreator/SongVisualizer since the last session. The SongVisualizer is what I use to record. IT displays the notation live for me to sight read. No more Rocksmith. I have my own app now.

Cheers.

Session #312 - #2 - Allman Brothers Band - Blue Sky

Session #312 - #4 - JerryC - Canon Rock

🎵 Session #313 is a deep dive into tone exploration and musical mastery. The session begins with "Tone finding, Warmup," setting the stage for a journey through sound and texture.

🎸 Track 2 brings a rendition of the Allman Brothers Band's "Blue Sky," where I experimented with a UAD Hitsville trial, trying the Dave Tozer-Guitar Riff preset. This setup gave an interesting boost to the sound, making me question if the plugin is really worth it – but the difference is certainly audible!

🎶 In Track 3, I warmed up with several attempts at "Canon Rock," setting up the UAD Pultec DEQP-1A and DI-Guitar Warmer preset. This was followed by a full performance of JerryC's "Canon Rock" in Track 4, where I turned off EQ to avoid clipping, relying on Reverb and Studer for the sound texture.

🔧 Tracks 5 and 6 feature my original "Three Dimensional," where I reintroduced EQ for the leads and maintained the Hard Rock UAD Studer, with the UAD Pultec set to Electric Gtr Bite, and Realverb-Pro set to Small Bright Room.

🎧 The session culminates with "Always Remember," a triptych of Lead, Rhythm, and AltLead performances, where I took extra care in getting the right sound. The EQ was meticulously adjusted to prevent clipping, and a UAD FairChild 670 was added to the Master to tweak the right channel. Each of the three tracks was reverbed individually to maintain the Left-Center-Right separation.

Session #314 - #20 - Kyle Abent - Three Dimensional - Lead+Rhythm+AltLead

Tracks 1-4 plugins:
	UAD Neve 1073SE Legacy - INST - Guitar Presence
	UAD Studer A800/Classic Rock
	UAD RealVerb-Pro - Small Bright Room

Tracks 5 plugins
	UAD Cambridge (EQ) - Instru: Electric Guitar
	UAD Neve 1073SE Legacy - INST - Guitar Presence
	UAD Oxide Tape - Warm Elect Guitar
	UAD RealVerb-Pro - Small Bright Room

Track 6 I removed EQ - as it made the tone thin, whereas Rhythm needs width :P
Track 7 re-added EQ back although it made tone thin

Track 8 I replaced Oxide with Studer because tone being harsh and clipping, also removed EQ to have fat tone, also placed Studer before Reverb this time.

Track 9 fits the tone not beeing too harsh without push from Oxide/Warm

Track 10,11 same settings as 9 - nice and fat crunchy tone not too warm, just enough reverb to fill the small bright room :)

Track 12 sounds so dark for a small bright room! wow! that rhythm hits hard! damn bugs writing albums!

Track 13 makes me think (at-least the intro) portion of AltLead is more of a prepared solo arrangement than Lead, well atleast in intro to mid.

Track 14-18 same Plugins

Track 19 I swapped the Studer with Oxide(Warm) to make it more of a harsh tone as Canon Rock sounds better distorted/overdriven.
Oxide first in list followed by Neve then Verb.
