I have no idea why I attempted to do this - doing too much in one I think has compromised the Alex patch a bit but I think it's largely in the spirit of the whole thing.

Firstly - yes I naused up the solo! It's a typically Lifeson tortured affair with a strange meter and in the the time window i gave myself i.e. before I got totally fed up with it that was the best I could do.

Secondly - the bass was laid down direct out the VG into Cubase in one take. The guitar was also laid down direct out the VG into Cubase but the solo was a separate take (not sure what take number it was lol!)

Red Barchetta Guitar Patch

Default is the clean, heavily chorused slightly clipped sound.

FC300 CTL2 kicks in the crunch
FC300 CTL1 kicks in slap back delay for the "wind in my hair" section
FC300 EV1 switches to solo mode (check out how many assignments are going on in the background!)

(Let's see that pesky GP-10 pull that lot off!)

Red Geddy Bass Patch

Just play it! For the life of me I couldn't get the mid honk that Geddy's tone has - this isas close as I got but I think it sits very well in the track

Backing Tracks....

Finally, because the best way to have fun with these patches is to play along with the backing track I've attached 2 backing tracks - one without bass and one without guitar. Excuse the .OGG format files but I couldn't get an MP3 less than the forums 5mb cap.

I also had to zip them cos you can't post OGG files!!

Even if it's not really your thing just download and have some fun  :)

Dude,  you are the patch king.  Very nice work.  I have a challenge for you if your interested.  Steely Dan.  The sitar solo from Do It Again.   Very cool.  Just a thought.

After the kind words how can I refuse the challenge?  :)

Sure - tricky solo but I'll give it my best shot.
