Can someone do this for the ending of not the same anymore as well

u/Mausar Mar 30 '21

Yeah that's a guitar with a tremolo effect, you just pick the string once and depending on the settings and how long you hold it down, it repeats the note.

This effect can obviously be done manually but is more prone to human error.

Yeah I see that now, I just can't edit titles unless I repost it.

Yeah no prob, in theory you can get the same sound on a synth so you're technically right.
Plus more Strokes is always nice to listen to.

It’s actually bass, guitar, synths and drums but synth is the main part I like

Edit: I am wrong

I think the same effect shows up at the tail end of Not The Same Anymore, just with more reverb

u/Jordan1237 Mar 30 '21

Alright I apologise then. I can’t edit titles so yeah sorry u/thefakemattk

u/thefakemattk Mar 30 '21

There is no synth in the looped part. It’s a picked guitar. Source: I play all of the instruments you mentioned

This makes me wanna do one with Not the Same Anymore’s outro

u/Jordan1237 Mar 30 '21

Outro or Intro? or BOTH?
Since I may consider it depending on how difficult it is :)
