Ratchet

By blighters_rock on August 21, 2022 10:25 pm

Started this one last week and didn't quite finish it in time. I found it challenging to write compelling melodies and lyrics for this. Those are the parts I'm the least happy with.


This is called Ratchet because the initial idea was inspired using a Line 6 Helix delay of the same name. Ratchet just takes a sound snippet and loops it forever. I ended up using a hard tremolo effect instead because the variation makes it sound better.

Phenomenal work man. So many excellent sections and I love the broad range of experimentation with different sounds here, such as the tremelo guitar effects, the synths, the chord choices, and the drums during the interlude. Kicks ass all around, definitely among my favorite tracks of yours from this year.

Awesome stuff. The guitars sound fantastic, and the vocal melody is a really nice fit.

Good bit of classic rock, love it

Vocals sounds great! There is load of very fun stuff on this track. That snare compression is IN OUR FACE! very cool.

And those synths at 2m30, nice trip.

I really like how you arrange your bass guitar with kick drums. Solid playing-orchestration.
