I wasn't supposed to come back so soon, but when my Guitar Rig Mobile arrived by mail I just couldn't help but drool all over it. It's... it's so beautiful :'o(... 7 guitar and bass amps, 14 cabinets, 21 effects, 2ms input latency... O__O... I HAD to try it out.


Anyway, about the "song". I know it's short and I definitely know that my guitar skills are beginner level, but that's all that me and my Roytek have to offer for now (yes, a Roytek... you've got a problem with that? ò__O). This was a test after all.


If anyone has something +ve or -ve to say, please do. (\||/ flame shield active \||/)

Haha. Well, wow.

I honestly really didn't expect that at all, I had to listen to the song a few times before I was actually able to compose a review in my head. I really like this song a lot. I know the main purpose was to test the guitar and such, but I gotta say I really loved the vibe at the beginning of the song the most. The guitar was a great variation though, I think it should be split into 2 separate songs haha. Anyways, there was only one problem, and literally only one... When both guitars were playing at once, even though they were panned appropriately, they were playing at almost the same volume, creating an unpleasant harmonic that muddied out the background synths and drums, I would suggest adding some sort of mild sidechain or remastering the guitars.

Anyways, before I go, I have to tell you a real quick story about the introduction to this song.

Okay, so I'm extremely tired because I just got off of work and I'm a little tipsy, so that may explain my vision a little bit. But anyways, when the song was introduced it brought me way back into my childhood to a wonderful memory I had with my dad. We were in the back yard, and both had built snow forts, and had stashes of snowballs, and were having a snowball fight, then the entire neighborhood joined in and we had a giant snowball fight war. <-- major run on sentence lololol.

The subtheme also could be a child growing up (the synths representing youth, and the guitars representing the aging process.)

Anyways, good work! ^.^

Interesting point of view of the song: Definitely unexpected ^__^.

About the harmonics overlapping, I didn't notice that kind of problem, but that's probably because I'm listening to the instruments with my head more than with my ears (I swear I'm not crazy ^__^).

Anyway, I tried to experiment with some side-chaining as you said, but the results were terrible. Forgive my ignorance, but by "mild sidechain", was I supposed to use the peak controller with the lead guitar and link the other guitar's volume to it or do something else?

[EDIT: Nevermind... linking to compressor gain, not to volume... sorry =__=]

Thanks once more Aaron

P.S. Actually the "vibe" was also part of the Guitar Rig experiment since I used the modified effects of the Vst to completely modify a basic FL Keys piano. Man do I love Native Instruments ^__^.

Different but good especially the intro

It progressed into a sort of rocksong with a great riff!!

5/5 10/10

Please return the favor on my new song?
A man hides his tears

SFaPiL2 responds:

Thanks IIPhase.

This "song" was more experiment (I used guitar-distortion effects from Guitar Rig with a piano synth, and that's how the strange intro-came out ^__^)

No need asking. I love checking new stuff out.

Cheers.

It's Georgem124 again lolz...

Hey Sfapil! Just wanted to say that this is excellent! Up for a collab some time soon? :D

SFaPiL2 responds:

You're on!

But first I need to finish the shitload of work that I have to do in the following weeks!

Laters

nice groove honestly

This is some cool shiz. Why people here are so tasteless and would rate this down. Cool sound with the ambient bell things in the background, that definitely makes this what it is...

I would love to hear a full-blown techno/rock song made out of this with crazy drums and the works, I could see that being phenomenal.

Oh, and whoever voted like 1 or 0 on this, you're really retarded. Just letting you know.

SFaPiL2 responds:

Cheers mate ^__^. I was about to lose all hope.

Next time I'll think twice before uploading.

Oh, btw, love your new upload ("RIDING IT OUT") spectacular melody!
