Bio

Second year. Most of my songs revolve around pretty little classical-esque guitar melodies so I've resolved to give things a bit more edge this time...

Thank for the comment on Wet. I believe there is far too little wah guitar in the world.

Thanks for the comment! For the chiptune sound, I use a combination of a free au synth plugin called automat, and famitracker, which is tracking software that emulates old NES hardware.

Thanks for the laugh. "Laughed audibly"--if only there were some sort of acronym for that. "I LA'd." Nah, it'd never catch on.

I love the variety on display here!

Thanks for the comment on Embrasser le Noir! Guitar was two tracks, one direct line-in with some EQ, the other a condenser mic about 20cm away with some reverb.
I'm certainly not fluent, but I'd say it's a typical accent for a non-francophone Canadian - we get taught France-French in school (I don't know why) but exposed to Quebec-French in real life, so it's a weird mixture. I also had a cold at the time, so that might be part of it!

Oh, I used a pitch-shifter as well for the screamy bits !

Haha, thanks man! Yeah I think it needs bass early, and the bass over the solo certainly should be louder! The solo is just full overdrive + full distortion + slapback delay into the computer! And yes I used a glitch plug-in and just brought it in and out in various places

Thanks for the comment (and your comment in that other thread). Ramshackle is about right--that song took about 30 minutes to write, fuck up a hundred times, and eventually manage to record.

Hello Mr. Mactley! I was just visiting your fine city for a couple weeks in December... nice job! I'm assuming you're responsible for how awesome it is (:

Haha, no VSTs on the violins unfortunately, its the built-in GarageBand/Logic String Ensemble sound generator. I love the built-in sound so much... it's why I don't use a VST! However, I can help you with some of my settings. Put the attack on 0ms, but the release at about 200-210ms. That gives me my ideal string sound.

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely will do more orchestral stuff, although my music does tend to genre-hop like the song you just heard, I make sure to do at least a few tracks that don't.
