I'm in. Hoping to give it a listen on the car speakers (which make all my songs sound awful) and then tweak it before submitting, but I'll probably just send it in knowing it sounds decent in headphones.

Just sent in a G&G number. So, not a terribly unfamiliar instrument combination. I don't think I've ever submitted a single live take to Sound Fight before, though. And I ran a couple of vocal sections through a flanger plugin.
