Josh, I love the ambient/atmospheric reverb type sounds you did in Sylosis "Cycle of Suffering" record; would you be willing to show how you created such sounds?
I also like the teeth on the guitar tone. Ever since I heard Francesco Mattei's guitar tone from Noveria, it seems to be very similar to yours and I gravitate toward it. Thanks for sharing your mixing technique via your STL plugin.
Thanks so much Josh for taking the time putting this together. Great insights right there. Being the gentleman that you are, any plans on sharing these presets?
There are tons of presets I made that are included with the plugin. There isn't a preset of this exact tone but you can see all of the settings in this video which you can copy
Does anyone else notice a scratchy/high frequency 'quack' noise in some of the guitar tracks, when the pick hits the string? You can hear it on the octave intro riff best in this vid (14:30). I've also noticed it on some Sylosis tracks, mostly the Dormant Heart era. I think its coming from the fishman fluence pups... wondered if anyone else has noticed it?
That’s not due to the fishmen pickups. That’s the style he chose to play, tilting the pick to create a scratchy sound that builds intensity. He could’ve notched out the frequency that the “quack” was causing, but it’s just the style he choose for the intro.
Josh, I’m still trying to figure out why the STL Tonality pack I purchased will not work for me. I’ve posted a video on my channel showing what is happening. Please help.
I noticed a lot of pick chirp on the intro riff, was that an intentional decision to give it some character? Also, what drives you to choose Fabfilter and C4 over Cubase Frequency where you can achieve the same results? (Threshold reactive EQ is a godsend)
I did the mix for this a few months ago (when creating content for the plugin - the audio for the STL WWWY playthrough is this mix with the plugin tones). I mixed on speakers but used headphones for this video to avoid audio bleeding into the mic. You'll see in a few instances I'm surprised by what I'm finding in this mix because I'm revisiting something I did a few months prior.
