Joe Satriani Mixolydian Backing Track In A. 

Thanks for the great comment Phil, I don`t think there will be another time when guitar will be so exciting as 80s/90s...you were there! 😀

Zootalores! thanks for the great comment, have fun.

Thanks for the comment Eric, more coming soon.

Thanks for the great comment Fran, I appreciate it👍

Thanks dude, I appreciate it🤘

How’s that going?

That`s right, each mode has a co-responding natural minor scale.

Thanks for the comment Pavul, you were more polite than most. I do not put any lead on the tracks any more, I understand it is annoying.

🤘🙂

Thanks for the comment, yes it seems to be detuning the left and right channels slightly to widen the image, but it also gives an agressive fizz to the signal without being annoying. There are Satch isolated tracks online, when you hear them it is surprising how bright they are.

So, that's a stereo chorus effect (with mild setting). That in itself doesn't explain the brightness. I used to think Satch's tone was based on a wah in forward setting, but you're claiming it's the Eventide. Usually an effects chain filters out the highs, instead of adding them. My best bet is that the Eventide decomposes the signal with Fourier transform, works its detuning magic on the resulting vector, and synthesizes a new waveform by summing a bunch of sinus waves. This process can introduce all kinds of artefacts, as can be demonstrated by time-stretching a track in your DAW (time-stretching algorithms are generally Fourier-based). I'd expect the resulting signal to be duller than what comes in though. Maybe extra overtones are added in the synthesis phase to compensate for this? The effect would be similar to an exciter.

Btw do you have links for isolated tracks? I'm always interested in stuff like that, I've been told they can be really surprising.

@@MrTubularBalls If you contact me via channel page I will sort some out. I think you are right, the CLA plugin adds EQ and saturation even when all the parameters are tuned off which is giving the signal it`s edge. I got this info from a Guitar World feature, to quote, "The Eventide H949 is the “secret” weapon here, dialed in to a slightly detuned setting that further thickened the tone and added a distinctive, abrasive texture." I would like to try one out one day.

I see various versions of the Eventide harmonizer going on eBay for $1100--$2200. And they have a plugin for about $350. But ,with some ingenuity, it should be possible to get similar brightness and saturation from cheaper, conventional gear. I may be wrong, I'm a bedroom guitarist, not a producer. I don't see a way to contact you on the channel page, and G+ no longer exists.

Damn! my foolproof plan exposed🙁

Hi Rafael, if you contact me I will sort something out for you. You can find my email address on the 'about' page of my channel.
