Blimey! I'm on a roll tonight...
 
I wanted to have a mess with my guitar and Adaptiverb, so I knocked up a project with just two tracks.
 
Track 1 :  Guitar audio with G-R 5 in the effects bin and sends to delay, reverb and Adaptiverb (which I placed on a buss). So plenty of the prerequisite verb+echo stuff
 
Track 2 : The Drone Track. I used an instance of Korg's MS-20 and played a single very, very long note while automating the usual HPF and LPF filters to add some flavour to the drone. I then routed this into another instance of Adaptiverb (after freezing the MS-20 synth).
 
So, yeah, this is eleven minutes of self-indulgent noodling over a drone, and I'm not that great a guitar player I'm afraid. Gave me an excuse to get my PRS out of its flight case though, so that must be a positive.
 
If you said, "this is just the same as that Corona crap you did last year," I'd have to concede the point. However, I do think it is a bit of an improvement. The drone I used on Corona was pretty boring, even for a drone, whereas this time I think the drone is a bit more "interesting" (for a, erm... drone). And this time I have left more space between each phrase, and I think that works better.
 
I DI my guitar, so I know I won't get any prizes for guitar tone...
 
Okay, here it is:-

I love this self indulgent Corona-like crap 
Seriously great to meditate to.
The mix is excellent and the guitar sounds fabulous.

Great Daryl, thanks for that
 
I'm a bit out of my depth when I start playing with proper instruments haha!
 
I had to tame the mids slightly, and because I can only monitor on headphones, and my hi-fi isn't exactly the best thing to check a mix on, I rolled off everything below 45Hz.
 
Thanks for listening
 
cheers

Andy, nice deep ambient track. The kind you would play to simply drift away in thoughts or stay silent listening to it.
Drone is deep yet smooth and well mixed. Different guitar sound, kinda ethnic feel to it. Thanks for sharing...
