OwnHammer 4x10 SVT beta IR demo

Here's a quick clip I did with an OwnHammer SVT Bass IR which is one of Kevin's "mix" beta files. Literally, "off the cuff" approach to it not knowing how it would turn out. After a couple tries I think I got it to sound somewhat cohesive. I tried to let the bass be predominant in the clip with...

Sound Bite w/OH "Mix IR's"

So I'm working on a new song potentially for a CD. Years ago I was trying to remember a song I had only heard a few times strictly from memory. When I listened back to the song... not even got close :lol... but used it a demo lick ever since. I got a few compliments on it so I thought I'd invest...
