Palm Mutes
Single note palm mutes from A1 to E3 played on an Ibanez RGMS7. Clean DI of bridge and neck pickups. For cinematic pulses and tension builders.
The story
I’ve been working on a lot of action and suspense scores in the style of Tyler Bates (John Wick OST, etc).
I found myself adding a lot of 1/8 note guitar palm mutes to create the pulse, but all the usual guitar VSTs had pretty weird or unnatural sounding palm mutes. They either had too much handling noise (Shreddage), or were inconsistencies between notes (Shreddage again), or were just way to hot (Damage / Odin). None fit the cinematic style I wanted.
I could get the sound I wanted from my own guitar, but it was a pain to constant be reaching for the guitar and then recording, limiting, compressing every time I wanted to try an idea. I sampled my guitar and created this library so I can keep my workflow “in the box”.
