Would love to hear from guitar players about their rigs, equipment and recording techniques> I have been a player for 15 years and just got into home recording. I use Acid Pro, Sonar 6, Reason, Sonic Foundry and a Light Snake. As for my Rig I have a Fender Highway One Strat, Pod-XT Live, and use Line 6 Flexetone III Amps and Sure 57's & 58's. A Hand-Made Custom PRS-Style Guitar (MCartyu-style) made by my famous master luthier brother (Thanks Bob, you da best). I use Texas Special and Seymour Duncan Pickups in all my guitars.
As for recording I'd like to meet a few people and talk about techniques, tips and tricks of the trade. I have coaberated on a number of tracks as well, so if you are willing to have fun, share some thought and music...I'm the guy that eats that stuff up ! Chers and Thanks !
Welcome to the SOTY 2008 Submissions/Nominations stage.
First things first... the rules:
1. The song/tune must be made in 2008 (or at least the later couple of months of 2007)
2. The song can be any genre, we are very liberal and like any tune as long as its good
3. The song must be submitted via email, either as a link or the file directly sent over email to: <a href="mailto:competitions@nexusradio.co.uk">competitions@nexusradio.co.uk</a>
The email must be layed out with the subject being: Song of the year 2008 (we run other competitions and I don't want to get confused..
In the main section of the email i will need this info
Artist Name:
Tune Name:
Genre:
These are required because:
a) most people don't tag their tracks properly
b) every track is going to put in to a new folder called song of the year 2008 in that folder will be genre folders, then artist folders, and it makes it much easyer if we can save directly to there instead of having to listen to every submission to find out where to put it.
c) if you can't handle sending an email like this there is no chance you can write a half decent song :lol: :P
4. The song cannot be one that was nominated for song of the year 2007, 2007 has passed, this year its all about NEW MUSIC from all different genres.
Personally I would like to see some more Electronic music this year, IE Trance, DnB, IDM, Industrial etc... but I am not adverse to rock, metal, funk, blues and all the other stuff as well.. its just i would like the genres to have even more variation than they did last year.
5. Once a song has been subitted it will be played out at least bi-weekly on nexus radio on most if not ALL of the shows so it gives a chance for everyone to hear the tracks in the runnings for SOTY
6. Tracks can then be NOMINATED by making a post in this thread at nexus radio (if your reading this on another site please click here: http://www.nexusradio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?id=996) with every extra person you want to add please EDIT YOUR POST untill i do a TALLY, after that Create a new post and keep editing untill i do another TALLY
7. You cannot Nominate yourself, and I would rather no one nominated me (Wizard Sleeve)
8. You can only vote for 2 tracks from the same artist, though collabs count as a different artist so you could nominate every single colab from some one plus 2 solo tracks if you want, although not more than 2 collabs from the same artists... so only 2 stef/sly collabs, but as many stef/other people collabs.
9. As with last year; tracks with 1 nomination are eligble for the bottom spots, 2 or more for the middle spots, and 3 or more for the top spots
10. Only nominations made on the official thread at nexus radio count so if your reading this on another site please take your time to visit this thread HERE: http://www.nexusradio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?id=996
11. This competition is really just a load of fun to be had on nexus radio. Don't take it too seriously its just a way for us to play out some great tunes from artists all round the web, give them some recognition, and at the end of the competition send out some funny lil prizes to thank them for letting us play out there tunes and supporting nexus radio.
If you think its too early for this then your wrong... we are collecting entries and nominations for the next 11 months and the final voting happens in December!
Okay I just got my first round of reviews out of the way, I realised the best way to help this site is to review someone who has review you so ive been doing just that.
Loaded my second song from "Blind Future" today, called Chainbomb, its quite fun
Maybe ill do a few reviews and add another song, well see what happens :p

There is a song on the Big Peter White page called ACID RAIN.
Years ago politicians ignored warnings about Acid Rain but now they see the threat of global warning as a means of cynically raising money by way of a carbon tax.
I believe in cutting pollution, stopping the deforestation of the rain forests, and recycling waste where I can. What I dont believe is GLOBAL WARMING and so called carbon footprints, in the scheme of things its just so feeble to think anything we do will change nature (A few years ago we were told by scientists we were cooling down, remember the film The Day After Tomorrow, it was based on a scientific theory).
The politicians and some scientists use the so-called threat for their own ends; in much the same way they used the MILLENIUM BUG (remember that lie, hope you didnt pay for any safe guards they were selling).
MOTHER NATURE will find a way to deal with global warming or any ice ages thrown her way not governments.

<p>The sheep are a large flock in June 2004 in Causs Noir, Cevennes, France. They are wearing bells (as sheep often do) so they can be located easier should they stray.<br /><br /><strong>Consider this:</strong><br />Our financial records and transactions are constantly monitored, our medical records are no longer private, cameras are popping up like weeds to record events all over the US and EU, cell phones are easy to track by government GPS applications, and soon the US national ID system (Real ID) will be able track your whereabouts based on your driver's license. Virtually all email and any type of phone calls are illegally monitored most anywhere in most places in the world automatically. These are just some of the facts, not fiction.
