Techno Song by TheHitman on Touchstyle

Thank you for all the comments and for taking the time to listen. for those of you curious about how i got the sounds, i made a completely dry version. this is 100% dry. no fx, no EQ, no compression. just the touchstyle guitar direct into the computer. same volumes and blend, but no drums. i did this just for laughs, and figured i'd share it. this should give an idea as to how i did this.

the swelling fx were done with a volume pedal and the pitch bend was just bending the strings. in the original version the fx that were used the most were delay, phasor, spring reverb, and wah wah. almost all the fx were done with Waves stompbox fx from their guitar toolkit. there is some eq and some compression as is standard for a mix. i don't believe i used any guitar amp simulators. i did use Nomad Factory's Magma for thickening up some of the sounds. it was one of their guitar presets with a low pass filter, chorus and delay. listening to this, you should be able to get a sense that most of the tone is actually from the instrument. the phasor is what makes it sound so electronic.
