An awesome example of the guitar tip is ceiling by lizzy mcalpine, one is eighth note strums, one layer with some palm muting, and a whole strumming pattern layered as well Beautiful asf as it mixes subtle palm muting with a bunch of open strings and it sounds so good
I’ve been listening to your videos and watching them since yesterday, you have some really awesome videos! I believe that the sound would’ve gotten a bit closer if you used Soothe (for taming residence, and making the sound more tighter and cohesive ) and also trash by Izotope in multi band mode(to affect a certain band area and allow that space to shine) 🙌🏾
You've called it "production tricks" but there's no trick there, its just ideas put in practise wchich actually work. What makes m83 work great has more to do with the way he composes the melody traversing trough all the different sounds. There's a video idea for ya. Cheers.
