Damn, this might be my favorite tune, everything just flows together so well. Drums are great! That bell effect was cool! I love the feeling that song just gets louder and louder as it keeps playing.

The bass tone is great. Agreed that drums sounds great. Nice dry sound on the snare.

Some very nice guitar tones too. The acoustic guitar sounds great.

Acoustic guitar tone is great. Not too plucky, not too boomy. Awesome soloing, as always. The return of the bells + fuzz around 3:45 is great. maybe would've liked more fizz and presence there to help take it up a notch. Cool how a single sound can inspire a whole song like this.

Ahhh, I think that's one of the ring modulator effects right? I remember you getting super into the logistics of how that sound is made, whipping out the sine/cosine graph website to punch in some calculations haha. It is a cool sound though.

I agree with mike that the overall progression of this track is really smooth and keeps building and evolving. The inclusion of that acoustic guitar is super nice for the mix.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the drums. I've been using the Logic drummer tracks a lot and I think they work really nicely. I've been trying to pay more attention to changing up the patterns of the different kit pieces every so often to make it sound more like something a person would play. I've also been trying to get them to sound louder and punchier. This track and last week's I was really experimenting with the compression on them which was something I never really did before.

Thanks a lot! I've been using more compression on the bass which I notice really makes it pop in a nice way. I've been trying to get my bass and drums to have more presence in the mix.

Thanks! I remembered your advice with making sure to filter out low frequencies on individual tracks that don't need the low end. This helped me be able to turn the acoustic guitars up loud enough without the booming low end muddying everything up. So thanks for that! And yeah I'm glad you liked that part. That's actually my favorite part of the whole song. I think in hindsight a bit more fuzz would have been nice but I was a bit afraid of burying the clean guitar melody line and that was my favorite bit of that section so I wanted to make sure it stood out.

I'm not sure actually. But it might very well be a ring modulator thing going on. I would have to go and look at what effects are being used in the preset. But it does sound like that to me now that you mention it. I'm going to have to go find out now! I'm glad you liked the acoustic guitars. This was the first time I added acoustic to one of my tracks alongside electric guitars and I really like the combination. Definitely not as straight forward as recording electric through amp sims though. I didn't bother to get everything just perfect but I was definitely surprised at how much difference there was in the two acoustic left/right tracks with regards to volume spikes and dynamics. I'm guessing that learning to effectively use compression is going to be my friend with acoustic recordings.

love this evil guitar sound

that preset is cool, it sounds ring mody to me too.

great track // the ending with the "bell" is so thematically awesome.
