AFIII In the Shadows

[ChrisAngela1]

This is a bit more ambient/chillwave vibe using mostly clean channels, my favorite clean being the Austin Buddy's Electricin2Acoustic, clear and versatile. Beginning at 2:04 I used the Vintage Delay block to create harmonized dotted eight note volume swells, I've always loved that technique used by Steve Stevens, Pat Thrall, and others. I believe the distorted guitar near the end is the Friedman BE V1, a favorite for sure. Curious what you think, I realize it's a little out there instrumental wise, essentially I like to make backing tracks for practice and chilling out! Cheers!

Love it! Especially the dotted eight delay swellings. Would you be willing to share the patch? I'd appreciate that very much.
Congrats!

Wow, that was just for practice!? Really cool production overall! I don't normally go for this style but enjoyed yours a lot!

Curious how you did the video too, that must have taken some time to put together. Very nice!!

Glad you liked! Yes, I scour YouTube for Creative Common videos that seem to have the concept I want to get across that I have in my head

You're most kind! I'm actually more rock oriented, but I really love some of the Chillwave/Synthwave instrumental stuff out there. More for chilling at the end of the day! And yes, I scour YouTube for Creative Common videos that seem to have the concept I want to get across that I have in my head I then spend a bit of time using iMovie to piece it all together to try and have it flow to the music

I will look for the patch, sadly I did this song 6 months or so ago and I don't write down the specifics of what I used (though I should!). Really, any good digital delay (Stereo/Vintage, etc) with the dotted eight notes setup should work. The hard part is the timing with the guitar volume pot, I had to use a specific guitar because it worked smoothest for the rapid volume changes (Ibanez JS2450). Glad you like!

I panned 2 delays left and right. Ended up with a pretty wide image.
