Yeah, I know… yet another guitar plugin, but… honestly, this one is a bit different. If you haven’t already, use the free trial to check it out. IMO, Rabea’s plugin is one of the best ambient-vibe guitar plugins out there. The guitar synth module is actually usable, and the time-based effects are some of the best I’ve heard in the mix. If you watch Rabea’s YouTube channel, you know he likes creating ambient music, and his plugin is designed to create lush, wet, and usable guitar tones.

Like most of you, money is tight, so I’m pretty picky about what and how I spend money on new gear and plugins. This one ticked all the boxes for me. I also bought the Tim Henson plugin. I’ll cover that in another post.
NOTE: I used the included Impluse files, and not my own. It sounds like this out of the box. Pretty crazy. I’ll share the custom presets I used in another post. Maybe they can help you create something cool. If you have a question, please post it in the YouTube video comments.
The song is not mastered – I’ll publish a mastered version, but I wanted you guys to hear how it sounds in the raw mix. Honestly, it’s pretty good.
I set out to make an interesting demo song, and ended up writing one of my favs to date. I’ll publish this song to all of my channels.
Thanks for listening.
