Listen to a mysterious melancholy ambient guitar meditation inspired by the closing of the year. Watch the moon and clouds float in the night sky.
This recording features the ethereal echoes and delays of the TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay.
The TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay continues to impress. In this video, I demonstrate how to use it in conjunction with the Ditto X2 Looper to create ambient guitar drones.
The melancholy wonder of falling leaves. The changing of the seasons…
Listen to a mellow ambient guitar meditation inspired by the falling leaves of autumn. This recording features the gorgeous echoes and delays of the TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay.
I am not worthy. The TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay is a magical device, combining 3 delay engines that can be combined in series or in parallel. Check out this “first look”/demo video. Yeah, I don’t do a lot of picking in the video, but volume pedal swells abound. Enjoy!
Learn how to create ambient guitar drones using a (Strymon Timeline) and a looper (Ditto X2). If you have different equipment, no worries. The concepts can be used with any delay and/or looping device.
As work on the new album progresses, I’ve been creating backgrounds drones/pads that provide a tonal foundation for the songs. The “glue” that holds everything together. Creating a nice sounding drone is easier than you might think and does not require dozens of pedals. Get some ideas going. Watch the tutorial!
A short demo of the new (March 2014) TC Electronic Ditto X2 Looper. This video focused on the new looping effects – reverse and 1/2 speed. A great looping unit at a great price. Well done TC Electronic!
Equipment used:
TC Electronic Ditto X2 Looper
Carvin Holdsworth signature model HF2
Morley Steve Vai Little Alligator Volume Pedal
Avid Eleven Rack
Strymon Timeline
Signal path — Carvin to Eleven Rack to Effect send to Volume Pedal to Ditto X2 to Strymon Timeline to Effects return back to Eleven Rack.
As the video below indicates – I’ve set myself a challenge.
I normally create ambient guitar loops using hardware. Amps, effects pedals, the like. I do from time to time, need more flexibility, and thus sometimes create loops withing my recording (DAW) software. I can then ensure that the tempo is exact and reconfigure the loop in the middle of the recording or mixing process. SO – the challenge is to see if I can create loops in various software packages that sound the same or very similar to a hardware-based loop. Hopefully, you will find this challenge to be of use, in particular if you need software-based looping capabilities.
The first part of the series introduces the challenge and demonstrates how I set up the hardware-based loop that I will be comparing the software packages to.
