Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Hello and welcome to a special edition of the FNGT! Like normal, we'll go ahead and get you started.

Five years. Five goddamned years... We've been doing this thread for five years. That's pretty much an eternity in Internet Years. That outlives so many fads, even real-world fads! I dare say, at this point, we're pretty much an institution.

In our time, we've had people be born, we've had people die, we've had trauma, and we've had joy. We've been, albeit small at times, a community where you can come share your work - just like what was asked in the very first guitar thread all those years ago.

And so...

I could make this a long speech but, you know what? Here's the track you've been waiting for!

Shut Up And Rock (The Usual Suspects) (share.fngt.gq)

I hope it was worth the wait! Count the individual guitar tracks. We had both a wet and dry channel, and we recorded the dry channel to re-amp the whole thing. I dare say it came out just fine.

Rock on, Poalr Bears! Rock on!

And, I should ping @AOU - if you're gonna sticky a thread, this is a good one. It's our 5th year anniversary!

Thanks. Glad ya liked it. It took more time than I expected, but that's mostly due to laziness and hot summer days that sap your motivation.

The timing worked out well, as it was suitable for the anniversary thread.

Five years... That's a long time.

Thanks! I tend to bring out the big guns for special threads. The above song has many, many hours invested.

Basically, we recorded it and listened to it kinda like how you hear it - but we also recorded it without any effects. After we were done, we went back through and used plugins to get the sound we wanted for each individual stub/track. That's recording the dry tracks, while the wet tracks (those have effects) weren't actually recorded.

Ok so dry is natural guitar and wet is all the plug-ins. Record with wet muted or super low then boost wet in where wanted?

I figured that'd be your response. It's another one for the car drives.

Serious congrats, very well done, and by all means do carry on.

Thanks. We'll almost certainly be here, or somewhere else, doing the same thing in another year.
