Question:
In many worship songs, there's sometimes this effect in where it's like a feeback like effect, but it isnt always necessarily feedback. It's sounds like a nice background continuous sound, but I've always wondered how they do it. Anyone know what effect that is?
Answer:
reverb? Delay? what does it sound like?
Answer:
Maybe just a distorted guitar with it's volume very low? That's what I don't like about what I hear on Christian radio these days. The song writing it pretty lame, then thay have a distorted guitar, but it's volume is so low you jsut here a little continuous distorted sound in the background.
I mean, this one song goes like this for the whole song:
"I am a friend of God."
Could be a bit more creative... [/rant]
Answer:
Could we perhaps be referencing an ebow?
Answer:
could be an Ebow, delay, delay with wah....harmonics..volume swells... there could be a lot of things that could produce an atmospheric effect. experiment and see what happens!
you might need a compressor to get some of those sounds to hold out for a few measures.
Answer:
I can't really think of a good song that I can use as an example, but I know that the song Blessed by Hillsong(United Live) has that atmospheric effect in the beginning. I was also wondering how you could make a feedback effect, like in Shine For You by Hillsong.

That reminds me of the new (i think) newsboys song "I am free". Its just nonstop distortion it sounds like

Answer:
It could be a bow... but I doubt it. I heart bowing.
Answer:
I know what he's talking about, and I think its ebow with harmonics (which I find hard, but i'm working diligently).
Answer:
First thing that comes to mine is Delerious - Find me in the River, which I believe uses an Ebow.
Answer:
If you guys know Lincoln Brewster, he uses the effect in the beginning of the live version of You Are The One, and you can hear it throughout the verse.

hey there, thats a great song ay? i think in that particular song wat 1 off the guitarists does is simply either
1 - use an ebow (most probably)
2 - play a d (i think) and slowly turn tthe volume up with his volume pedal with some delay and o/d and he gets his guitar to feedback.
i love when f/b is used effectively, my prob is that you have to have some good gear to be able to produce "good" f/b and not the bad stuff. im talking good p/ups, and good amp..
hope this helps
Answer:
ahh...that sounds about right. i agree; i love it when feedback is used effectively
