FreeForAll
Well, finally got it mixed..
Ended up with a late 70's UK New Wave/ Pub Rock sound (Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, Squeeze, XTC, Police, etc). I tried to keep a live feel as much as possible.
Used my usual suspects, with Betabugs MonstaChorus and Chorrosive getting a good showing.. Oh, and that darned falsetto got in there somehow again...
I almost almost almost used a real guitar, but what with trying to get my laptop to record vocals reasonably, trying to mike an acoustic was going to be toooo much.. anyway, piano roll is always a laugh for trying to get a decent strum! I used 2 SF2s in SFZ - a Clean Guitar from Hammersound, and GeoffKahns excellent Ultimate Guitar Kit - both run through the right channels to sound vaguely convincing..
Enjoy!

It's been a while since I participated, but who can argue with a free-for-all competition 
I think I've used less instruments that I've ever done before but made more variation than ever. Weird.
I used:
EWQLSO Silver
Stylus RMX
Z3ta+
Reaktor 4
Done in Cubase SE.
It's very film score-ish; orchestral and electronic.
It's called
Truth hurts

took me awhile because of another bout of flu - you see, I wanted to sing - and sing something countryish and balladish 
Don't worry, there's guitars and synths in this one too!
Not Her Hero Anymore
It's about myself and my ex-fiancee, who thanks to a number of problems (many of them mine) we never went through with the wedding, to my regret.
"Well we were young and so in love
We even planned a wedding day,
It seemed our future was so bright
But then it all just blew away,
You see I made a big mistake
That cooled the fire of our amour
Now she and I are far apart
I'm just no longer in her heart
I'm not her hero anymore
I live inside a world of hurt
A victim of my idiot pride
I dragged her heart right through the dirt
Her new contempt she could not hide
And now I walk this road alone
No longer welcome at her door
She went and found somebody new
I want her back but know we're through
I'm not her hero anymore"
Host: Cubase SE in OS X, Power Mac G4 MDD with Echo MIA card
Mixer: Behringer UB-1204
Drums - CM SR-202, using HR-16 samples
Bass - Dreibelbass through Johnson J-Station
Faux Acoustic Guitar (left) - Peavey Falcon through J-Station Piezo patch
Clean Electric Guitar (right) - Peavey Falcon through J-Station Blackface patch
Guitar solo - Peavey Predator Plus through Roland GP-8 into Peavey Classic 50, miked with Shure SM-57
Vocals - me through Apex 435 condensor mike, fed into ART Tube MP
Organ - Halion SE
Floating Synth Pad - NI FM7, triggered by Falcon/Roland GM-70
Enjoy!

Hi,
I'm new to these forums (registered last week), but I've been a frequent browser for about a year now.
Finally got registered here since I noticed how cool forum you have here...
Anyway, here's my KVR Contest Entry: March 2005
Instrumental Tech Metal Song
titled as "Devil's Playground"
Download Devil's Playground by clicking here
Guitars: Customized Ibanez RG550-EX (2001 model, with lo-pro edge). I used amplitube for all guitars (both rhythm and lead) with the freeware g-suite plugin to give the guitars more bite...
Drums: Played with Evolution MK-361C midi keyboard, triggered samples from DFH
Bass: Played with Evolution MK-361C midi keyboard, samples from Hypersonic
Synth: Played with Evolution MK-361C midi keyboard, samples from Atmosphere
Composing, arranging, improvising, performing and production by Markus Vahtola
Oh yeah, and I used few plugins for a bit reverb and echo on the lead guitar and I also used compressor for various purposes...
And if anyone wants to know this song was born yesterday morning, finished it in a few hours... Everything seemed to flow with this one. However, some might need few listens before getting into it
Especially the beginning is multilayered guitar madness

No end in sight.
It never works out.
Will I ever catch a break?
Can I ever be happy?
Tears of Frustration
