Very expressive with a unique vocal quality. Sounds like it's being run through a Talk Box that isn't being talked into. As usual, you get a lot out of it with "just" the pick. I've really enjoyed listening to your sound develop, especially since you got your new amp.

Sounds like a Satch sound. I like to go onto Line 6 for my PODxtLive. They take a lot of the leg work out of making the overall tone. Then, I can tweak to taste from there.
I like the concept of the song. I like a tempo couple with the chord arrangements to play over. Very soulful.
What type of guitar and pickups are you using? They sound they have bite of a single coil. I like the fact that you are going for different degrees of depth for added color. It keeps the listener interested.
Nice job!

Swanman, you do like to tackle the giants. And I have to give you props for taking on this tune. Because we ended Lovers is one of the classic examples of the tonal genius of Jeff Beck. You gave it a good go. Thanks for sharing. Recalling all your past contributions to the forum, it certainly does appear that you have been woodsheading. Your technique and tone have dramatically improved over that time. Ain't Music Wonderful! And based on your recording solely in Audacity, I would propose a trade; I have some recording gear which I would be glad to trade for some of your guitar chops.

Hey Swanman. Sounds great. I have that same tone on my Behringer V-amp 2. It's an autowah. You can adjust it for more or little amounts of wahwah along with a great fuzz-tone. The guitar work is great, as usual. Keep on pickin'.

Swanny,
as to keeping it your main tone - everything but the wah would be appropriate tone for a 'main' sound - at least distorted/overdriven. I would use automation on the wah to tame it somewhat.
In reading your first post - are you somehow using the UX2 for the first amp and effects, then playing through an actual Marshall amp on a clean setting and recording the amplifier mic'ed?
If so, why not record directly from the UX2 into your computer?
I'm just curious.

I'm not using a wah at all, rockstar.  I find that playing directly through my amp and using the UX2 as, basically, a pedal, gives a much richer and authentic tone. I will try going direct through the comp. Maybe that'll make the damn latency go away.

Excellent effort, Swanny. I'm not familiar with that tune but I like it. I know, I'm just a board player right? It does sound to me like there's some wah on there though. Especially around the 1:17 mark. This tune is obviously for showcasing your considerable guitar chops but a comment about the drums: They're way too stiff and mechanical especially the snare rolls, they have that dreaded machine gun effect which is a dead give away for overly quantized midi drums. Strictly from a music producers point of view, try to loosen up the drums a bit in the edit window, maybe find some better drum samples too, it would make the whole thing sound better but still the point of this is your playing which is outstanding.

There's definitely autowah going on in the sound. If you look in the Line6 patch in the computer, I'll bet a nickel that there's an autowah effect in line somewhere. It may show up as a 'filter' in the list. It's responding to signal dynamics. Similar feature in lots of amp simulation hardware and software. Normally not part of a 'signature' tone, but an effect that has it's place used infrequently.
Also, there's a way with the UX2 to monitor more directly I thought - to help avoid latency. I almost bought that unit 3-4 years ago but I got very crummy responses from the tech support guy. Have you played with the latency settings of the ASIO drivers? You should be able to get rid of most noticeable latency so you can play expressively.

Good point, rock. If you use the actual "wha wha" that they offer, it sounds crappy, IMO. Theres definately some kind of something that's giving it a bit of a wha sound, no doubt. Beats me what it is. I'm sure you're right. Just discovered that you can put your headphones on ( plugged directly into the UX2 Unit) and you dont need a mic for recording nor do you need your amp thats on the ground in front of you. Ahh...the wonders of USB...:) It sounds absolutley fabulous and latency is gone. Now, if i can only get the sound of the backing track to go into my head phones, I'll be straight. I'd highly recommend this thing to anyone who plays guitar. For $200.00 american, cant beat it.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
