Hi All.
Please be patient with me, I'm a noob and may or may not be half-retarded.
Influenced by my recurring obsession with some specific bands and their tone and atmosphere I started to wonder how would I reproduce this kind of stuff in my own playing (covers, mainly).
On the surface it looks like there are two things that I am asking today, but I thin they have something in common.
So without further ado:
1. Really, reallly washed out guitars in some black metal bands - e.g. Akhlys and Aoratos.
These two bands are really two projects of the same guy, and they both sound quite similar. In any case, it's a good representation of what I have in mind.
Is that just... reverb and nothing more?
There surely must be something else going on, when I try to do something similar with just reverb I do not get comparable results at all.
2. Ambience.
We can use the same examples as above, both albums have copious amounts of ambient sounds.
Also one of my other fav bands - Obscure Sphinx - uses this kind of stuff that I have no clue how to make.
Where do I start? Synths maybe?
