Rocking my favorite "new Architects" track, that I never got to cover back in the album's release days 5 years ago. ...woah, 5 years?! Anyway, enjoy :D https://youtu.be/NA1R_5bGKfA (YouTube)

My quest for an original sidechain compression sound begins! Finally getting around to doing the not so complicated routing required to accomplish it, and beginning to experiment with very controlled volume ducking instead of broadband full mix compression. Also many a bright tone! You can check how

A deeper dive on guitar tones, as well the "not-band" portion: electronic instruments and post-production effects and techniques. I've been having a lot more fun with this part of my covers recently - even creating my own synth patches and showcasing some of that in the mix videos - and I hope it's

Guitar tuning: Drop D# Also, I'm pretty sure that for this new, very downtuned ERRA, the bass is doing something funny where the top 4 strings are the same notes as the guitar, and then the low 5th string is a G# that only plays the octave below in certain chords. Peruse my take on it!
