AndyB01 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I love the harmonised lead and this kind of heavy sustain - I'm a Steve Hackett fan so this is right in my wheelhouse and is a great close to a fine body of work. Fabulous playing. Take a bow. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PascalHP Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I'm a fan of Joe satriani, the sound reminds me a bit of Yes. A nice tribute in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy hi andy! thanks so much for the comments yes, heavy sustain. the mesa boogie mark IIb head, pushed with a Barber Direct Drive Super Sport was the chain for the solo tones. steve hackett is a great player, i've always loved his early stuff, and used to have his Voyage of the Acolyte on vinyl. interested player for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice tribute in any case. hi pascal! thanks for listening yea, i like joe quite a bit, but would never claim him as an influence, i was already playing quite a long time before he even hit the scene. i like his self entitled album 'joe satriani' probably the best of his whole catalog, with 'crystal planet' being my 2nd favorite. i cannot hear any yes in any of this composition, but it's cool that it has that effect on you, pulling something out of the grey membranes that hits that memory just so. and to be clear, i wrote this song about 6-7 years before Holdsworth died, so it was never intended to be a tribute in the 'classic' sense, it was really just about admiring his staying power against the onslaught of mediocrity that threatened his very artistry. he stuck to his guns. he had resolve.

Andrew Scheps says to ignore the -14LUFs recommendation and trust your ears. I'm with him - for a long time I used -14 as a goal, but I think maybe it is not the best thing to do now.

LOL i'm typically getting about -10lufs max, with my limited skills, that's as far as i can take it without the compression and limiting messing with the balances. i listen to pro mixes at 6 and 7 DR, and it hurts my ears after one song.
