Hey thanks Yan! I was a bit nervous pending your approval. Again, your guitar is the star here man. You nailed Munky's sound and chops to a tee bro. This was definitely a fun track for me even though I'm not doing much of what I normally do. Gave me a chance to focus more on other aspects. Its such a bad ass song to begin with. I really dig KoRn and loved the Untouchables LP. Some epic tracks on there and this song in-particular actually won them a grammy. Yeah the additional bass was done with the Shreddage Bass vst that I have had for a while. I have used it on a couple of my tracks and I think its quite good. Fieldy's original bass line is killer in this song, he plays with a lot of Funk styling, a lot of slapping technique. I recorded eight different versions of vocals for this and ended up slicing parts from all eight to form the final mix. I'm not entirely satisfied with everything here but overall feel it came out pretty good. Thanks so much for working with me on this and allowing me to use your track. I wouldn't have probably done it otherwise. By all means I hope you keep cranking out your instrumentals Yan. You rule brother !!

Thx for the love homie

Hi there.

Thanks for checking this out. I was sure you'd like it.

I never really listened to Korn (but I know what they sound like) though maybe I should check out Untouchable. Limp Bizkit I definitely do not like.

It's hard to say how many guitar effects are used here - definitely delay and distortion and a phaser during one heavy section after 6 minutes or so. I'm using different types of distortion at different times but some of the effects are just to do with tone, playing and EQ. There's no humanizer effect but I understand why you say that.

The "oooo-h' "oooo-h" sound I really like but that's just slide playing on my resonator guitar, not humanizer. Not much slide guitar in heavy music so I think having it here makes the track a bit different.

I love slide playing and you can sometimes get some really interesting sounds out of it.

" feels like you use all digital effects ever existing"

I use a lot of effects in my music to constantly change and shape the many sounds as the track progresses. Sometimes I think I use too many but I try to be very careful to automate and vary them. I really like psychedelic sounds and use effects as a big part of the composition process to make sections more interesting and exciting.

I never really listen to Primus either but someone also mentioned them in another heavy track I made that you will probably also like. Lots of slide guitar playing in that one as well (much more than in this one):

I wish I could make a track like The Bigger The Fatter The Better every day as it was so much fun. But I don't play that much heavy guitar and do a lot of chillout and funk stuff instead.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

Glad you liked it!! Thanks for the listen.
