It freaks me out that I keep getting compared to modern U2 when I haven't heard any, really! 8) I really only remember the stuff from the 80s as they were hugely trendy when I was in high school. Maybe I need to go listen to some of the modern stuff and see if I do sound like that! :)
Anyway, thanks dudes. :) As for the FX, the drum loops and samples are pretty much dry, I think, though I don't know precisely what pre-processing was put on them as they were originally mixed. That's always the way, with drum loops .... The Dr. Who noises are mostly created by me finding a synth patch in GB, playing a single held note, and copying/pasting that around whilst pouring more FX over it. Poor man's Radiophonic Workshop ..... ;) There's a bit of guitar string-scr@ping with piles of flanger and echo in that middle bit where the riff stops.
The basic guitar tracks have some reverb, but not much else in terms of FX. I used an amp sim preset that I tweaked up for in a (not very careful) effort to reach for an Iommi-style vibe, so, yeah, it's not hugely trebly. ;) I think the guitars should come up a little, though, at the very least; I'm almost tempted to do two more guitar tracks, another one for either side, and see how that sounds! :twisted:
Then, I was listening to some Lacuna Coil and thought I should put in some exotic-sounding female-vocal yodelling before a main male vocal started, but the missus claims she can't sing. ;) Maybe if I use GB's male>female vocal changer plug-in and then pile even more ambient effects on it, no one would immediately realize if I did them myself. ;) I'll have to work on that ....
I realize this clip is not a massive display of guitar wizardry with beautiful handwired valve amps :lol: but I think it's worth showing prospective users that even with very minimal equipment and technical skills, BKPs can still help you take your tone to better places and make decent sounding music.
