Testing a service/sharing a recording

[steve]

Okay, I thought I'd test a newer part of my ISP's services by sharing a tune (or more than one, have to see if this works okay...)

The track is something I found on the net, I forget where, but it wasn't that long ago, and it's labelled as being a Kotzen track (I don't know his music, so I'm not sure if this is an existing tune, or something he submitted to a magazine, or what have you) which I took 3 stabs at, and this is that third one.
It's recorded straight into my computer using my POD XT v2.01 - my signal path is guitar (UV777BK) into POD XT, into computer's sound card. I'm controlling the XT with the FBV-Shortboard. The wah heard is, of course, the onboard one.
No pro recording software here; it's just into a wave editor, and saved as an MP3, so it's a live, single take.

Let me know if this works... =]
Follow the link, and go into the 'Music' folder - there you'll find the above (and possibly other) tracks...

Okay, assuming this works right, I've added a second MP3 and I'll leave it at that for the moment.
This was a neat thing off of Guitar Techniques magazine that I liked the sound of. It's meant to illustrate some ways of playing Nuno Bettencourt style, and does a good job. I listened to it and copped it for the most part, and I like the sound of it.
Like the previous track, it's straight into the computer from the POD XT - in fact, this was the first thing I tried recording, the day after I got the XT. This was the 4th take.
I often start to warm up by playing this one.

In case you needed that link again, and didn't want to go to my previous message:

Click on the 'Music' folder, and the tracks are there...

Hmmm... when I click on the "Music" folder, I get thrown an error

Works for me.

Oh yeah; the Nuno thing was recorded using my Jem777LNG...

Update - earlier today I uploaded a bunch more recordings... some a bit older made with my POD 2.3, and some newer ones with my PODxt.
(The ones done via the PODxt should all have 'XT' somewhere in their file names...)

One of them (the last one in the list currently) was something I did a quick single take of while uploading the other ones... I had noted that Rob Balducci's site had been updated with a new Lick Of The Week clip, and listened, finding that he was jamming over a track that I happened to have, so I thought I'd grab my Floral Jem (closest Ibanez at hand at that moment, seemed like an okay non-7-string moment, rare as those are for me) and go.
That one's named:
Melancholy - PODxt

... and several others. One 'Fretboards...' was done simply to test recording while changing to some different PODxt model patches to see what I'd get... thought there might be some good moments somewhere in there, so I saved it.

All recordings there are made using one of my 5 Ibanez guitars straight into either a PODxt or POD 2.3, and there straight into either my computer or a small digital recorder... live takes (no punch-ins/overdubs etc).

... with due respect and apologies to the originators of the cover songs there (many are improvised over 'anonymous' tracks, but several are 'covers') - I'm not a total note-for-note fiend... try not to be offended.

Courtesy link: click on one of the 'Music_*' folders...

*EDIT - I've changed the structure to divide the POD 2.3 and newer PODxt recordings in hopes of improving the performance of the service... hope that works.

BTW; if it shows an error, I think it may be a limitation in how many are accessing at once - wait a bit and try again...

[steve]

... in case that page was prompting for a password, I've moved all into a publicly accessible Music folder...

I dropped another track in the PODxt directory - just a one-take thing using my Jem77FP...
Happened to start trying out a backing track that I hadn't bothered with before... the backing has a feel much like Big Bad Moon...
It was an odd take for me; I did a lot of whacky things I wouldn't normally do that day, and it amused me.
Links in previous post(s).

This particular track is named rather conspicuously:
