I used to use Amlpitube 4, but now I just stick to Archetype Plini, Cory Wong, and Gojira. I have the Darkglass VST too for bass ;)

I think Plini is pretty good for modern tones. It has custom IRs too so there's a decent amount of sounds you can get through that as well. The three amps included are all essentially just different gain stages, but you do get an external overdrive and compressor in front of them. You get bass, middle and treble for each amp + and extra graphic eq so you definitely have a lot of options in that regard. 

Though IMO, it leaves a bit to be desired if you're into chunky, fuzzy lead tones (which I usually use Cory Wong for). Hope that helps :0

Thank you! Yes, I pretty much just improv'd over the chord progression. I did a few takes for the left and right then just chose my favorites. Took a second since I wanted it to be one long take (outside of the intro which I recorded separately). This was all running through Archetype Plini and Archetype Cory Wong as amp simulators!

I definitely had a lot of trouble with recording piano, lol. I ended up having rerecord the original piano takes after I recorded drums because I was just so out of time by the end of it all - even after redoing the piano, It's still so scuffed at places.

The intro was my favorite part as well, and I originally tried to write it with a more symphonic set of instruments but thought that didn't really fit the theme. 

I love the violin so much! It reminds me a lot of the theme from Alice Returns :)

real. I tried adjusting the timing after, but I couldn't get the timing quite right . idk why I didn't just re-record, that probably would've been faster.

Nope, I think the Aaahs in the last part are the only thing I drew in the piano roll. Pretty much everything else is played - which is why there so much stuff out of time hahaha

gey

I really love how pretty-sounding tracks 3 and 5 are, and how you portrayed grief in track 4. The explanation behind each track and the artwork also really add to the feel of it all :D

I very much enjoy the way you programmed your percussions; they really do bring the Caribbean vibe into your tracks! I especially like track 4, it feels like sitting down and reminiscing on good times, I simply wished it was longer so I could enjoy it more. Really well done! 

On hindsight, I'd probably make the delay quieter and shorter yeah. But you're right on one of the guitars being slightly off time lol (¯▿¯)

Glad you liked it! \(^ヮ^)/

thank you so much ＼(≧▽≦)／
