Ran into some issues when trying to render this song. I recently bought Amplitube 5 since it was on sale and I figured I'd use it for this track, but one of the delay modules within the plugin suddenly switched it's timing on export so what *was* a nice and lush delay sound became this echo chamber on the guitar and totally ruined the export. I kept trying to fix it but it wouldn't work so I just had to remove that delay module and load in something different. Overall the general idea came out ok but the last guitar part feels a little hollow without the intended delay effect. Oh well. Oh and I put too much reverb on this admittedly, like always.
I've also never really used limiters on my music before so I started experimenting with them the last couple of weeks and made heavy use of them here to not-so-great effect. The sound wave on the exported file looks like dynamic trash. Ah well, just a learning phase.

Spent a ton of time this week working on and tweaking an older tune of mine for the album. Basically rerecorded the whole thing and it's closer to what I always envisioned it being so I'm looking forward to sharing that.

I dunno about “too much” reverb - I’m actually digging the glossy finish on this. big_smile Another solid ViridianLoom track I could get lost in for who knows how long.

I enjoyed the tone of this track and the journey it took us through.

Excellent sound and production. No complaints

Yeah I agree with levelcapybara, I don't think it's TOO much reverb... the reverb might could use a touch of EQ to keep the low mids from getting muddy, but overall it sounds really really good.  I hope you get the delay thing figured out, I'd love to here it as intended. 

i like the murky laidback vibe of this track.
i can def hear that ending guitar sounding cool with a nice delay, but it's also rad as it is. nice work   smile

Guitars sound great in this and I enjoyed the space they were in.  Sucks when a new plugin/software doesn't work as it should though.  The bassline is super catchy too in this laidback progression.  Nice work!
