There are a few I made that are like this as I do not develop much, yet. Next step would be to introduce (some) developments in sketches. Or use some that were made and develop them. > Have you tried processing your > guitar with some softening effects for such compositions? I > personally feel that this could make it even more fun.

On this one I've used on the second guitar track, the one that's some kind of a solo later on, the u-he experimental reverb research tool ZRev of which all knobs have highly cryptic tags. I do not know what they do, I just fiddle here and there. This is the second time I use it. I find it adds nice ghostly 'harmonies'. I try not to put too much. One of these days I'll exaggerate the effect. In general I like the guitar sound as is though. I like some delays sometimes because it can retain the original sound. I should try a chorus. You make me think, I do have one sketch somewhere that uses detuning, which was pretty as far as I remember it. Maybe I could try finding it. It was pre-Bitwig era, even pre-Mixbus. > Thanks for sharing, it came along at the right moment to be an > inspiration and a clarification of thought. Thanks for the comment. Now that I've heard one piece from you it adds another dimension. Cheers. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
