Thanks Styles and Otan! It's actually going through two flangers. It's not quite as cool an effect as I was going for, but I'm still tweaking it.

Hi Paisley. I don't know what you mean about the "little friction reverb thing". On which part? There isn't much reverb on this track, except for a bit on a couple of the backup vocal tracks. Most of them are w/o reverb, but there are so many in spots (up to 10) that they probably make it sound like there's an effect on them.

Glad you liked it and thanks for weighing in.

Oh, that is the flanger we were talking about. Actually, two of them. It's a software plugin that comes with Cubase and the 2nd one is made by Waves, called Enigma.

Prince used hardware flangers in the day. Probably made by Eventide, though there were several that were popular. He really loved that effect and it worked well for him, obviously.

Haha Man I really like this! It has very natural expression to it. The idea of write a song together. Very cool and refreshing!

Vina, got the link to work. Playing "Flutter" now. You may hear this a lot, but it reminds of The Cure, which was a great band. The guitar solo comes in really nice and also cool atmospheric pads.
