I have been looking for a good metal/djent sound for a few months now. This is by far the most informative and realistic video I have seen up to this point! Thank you so much for posting this brother! I hope you continue to add more videos of setup points. High five for kicking ass!
Holy fuck, very nice tone, very tight playing. Comprehensive and well explained, amazing tutorial mate. The fact that you practically used free plugins in every instance makes this absolutely perfect!
Actually...... Look at the audio he's showing it's all choped up meaning edited .....Like ALOT it sounds good I'll give him that but tight playing ? Nope
Ha ha, no need to be sorry, just giving you a hard time. I'm still having a hard time getting my tone dialed in, I can't get those mids to come out in a way I'm happy with. It's a frustrating game my friend. Have you used Amplitube 4 yet?
At first I thought you were playing your DI sound before editing everything. I was like that already sounds sick lol. Thanks for the tutorial! Found some other great plug-ins from my search. Good playing too.
So, I know nothing about DI, like I had to look up what he said. I also looked up Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Why is he plugged into a DI and the Focusrite? Seems like a double audio interface to a true noob
@@JewishInjection I'll have to re-watch the video, but I believe at the time I commented that I was just noting how good I thought the production sounded prior to needing to edit anything (which he was already showcasing the final result). But you're right, the Focusrite is indeed an audio interface.
Nice job. The gating is so crazy lol not really my thing but very cool sounding. You just made me realize I've been using guitar sims all wrong too....this whole time I haven't been using eq enough...
Do you should make more videos on metal music production, you're a very good teacher at this type of stuff and I thoroughly enjoyed creating this tone with this tutorial, hope to see more vids soon, have a great day!
+Tech Tweaks Thank you! I apologize I havent had much time to make any new videos but I promise I'll have some more content in the next month or so for everyone!
+Modern Metal Productions no worries I totally understand, can't wait :) is there an email I can reach you at? I would like to make you some artwork for your channel, maybe to make it look a little more professional and sick!
Great vid. Have tried this and the tones are great, may actually switch to this rather than valve amps and cabs. The free impulse link doesn't work btw. The mod I have done on this technique is to only have the amp sim stuff on the track - gate/tse/Legion/TPA/IgniteIR - (The lepou IR only seemed to have mono->stereo option which I didn't want, just a mono, so used the Ignite IR instead). That's all I have on the track - get the recording, then bounce in place to a new track to render out an audio file. On the new track I put the EQs/comps and clean ups etc. Then the original sim track can be muted, disabled and hidden. For me that works better.
I'm a little confused about why you are high-passing and low-passing 3 times (ProQ, SSL, ProQ again on the bus.) Why not just do it once? The second and third passes are just introducing more phase shift while not really changing the tone, right? Thanks for sharing.
So simple, but so powerful. Love how the guitars sound in the mix! Keep rocking out man your product sounds incredible. Agree w/ the comment "if you pick like a bitch, you get a bitch tone". Now, the only question would be, if you have something like an Eleven rack, or an Axe FX, what types of effects chain would you use? Would you just bus directly to the guitar " bus"? Or would you add extra gate on the raw track, extra EQ, etc? maybe for the next video :) Good job dude!
Hi, i am doing the exact things you did in this video, but the EQ, that i don't know how to use, and i'm getting a noisy sound, extremly different sound compare to what i want, How to solve it?
Sounds great man, I use a similar method except one stereo side I use bias fx instead of the multiple plug ins, I find it to be a little warmer. How do you get the real short stops in the rhythm playing? Is it just edited audio or is there a special method? Anyway great vid and great progressive playing.
I know this is late, but try using a noise gate. Turn the attack and release all the way down, and turn the threshold down until you hear those short stops.
@@bluestreak5172 this is how you would approach it live, and/ or have a kill switch. You are right in that the audio is cut to pieces, to tighten up to the max.
This is a great method that I have used as well. The only problem I ran into was the amount of CPU power required to run all of those plugins for several guitar tracks. Along with VST drums, bass plugins, and whatever else you may be using, my computer couldn't handle it. It would start like lagging out and I couldn't even play my mixes back to listen without rendering it out. It's kind of like you're gonna end up paying up somewhere, whether it be for the amp/axe-fx type stuff, or for a powerful computer to run all the free plugins
+Taylor The Warlock Truth. When i first started using guitar impulses and amp sims I was using an old 2008 white macbook that could barely run the signal chain. But a good way to go about that is by bouncing each individual guitar track out and importing them into the project so you dont have to run the amp sim plugins on it. I have since built a computer with good specs so I dont have to worry about that nonsense anymore lol
+Taylor The Warlock Half true really. Once you have a great computer, you will end up saving a lot with plugins / VSTs. They will save you having to buy bass amps, guitar amps, pedals, professional drumkits (along with a drummer that shows up for practice,) all of the various preamps and hardware compressors, etc. It is expensive to make music, but nothing like it used to be.
For sure digin this video man, good work. Would like to do a walk through of the guitar bus.. that's where the sound/tone is really at, but what do i know? LOL... what's a good WAVES substitute for the VMR? anything you can recommend?
A waves substitute for VMR I would say would be either Kramer tape or NLS. I generally use the guitar bus to sum the guitars together so I can work with them combined. It saves CPU power on your computer and is a little more convenient.
Sick video, dude. I'm trying to get a djenty tone similar to this (not necessarily exactly the same or anything). I'm currently using an iron label RGAIX7 with a 25.5' scale, and I can't seem to get a tight low G#. It just sounds flubby. I've done virtually everything you can do in Bias FX to try to fix that. I'm using a 68 gauge string, so I don't think that's the problem. In your experience, would that be more a product of the pickups of the plugin? Thanks
You may want to look up what "uptalk" is. Ending a sentence with a rising inflection makes it sound like a question, which in turn makes it sound like you don't have confidence in what you're saying. Great vid otherwise :)
For this song specifically I'm using superior drummer and Trigger for the snare and bass drum tracks. I can definitely work on a tutorial in the near future !
Nice! Just a thought about the drums - mix the kick like it sounds more like in the room the guitars. It is very dry at the moment. And perhaps a brighter snare with a little more reverb to make it last longer
+Simen Andreas Knudsen Well as a drummer myself i would say that its aaaaaall about personal preference ;) what you like someone else might dont like, like what you just said now.
+Kaspar Marius Jota Thanks for the feedback. I have been working the drum tone. The drums in this video were superior drummer, which is usually what I use for writing/tracking. I record myself using my acoustic kit for final recordings.
Thanks for this. I have been struggling to get this sound but thanks to this video now I am very close to what I am looking for. All I did was find all of the plugins online, added them to my VST library, chained them in the same order with the same settings shown in the video and BAM, there I am, very close, only needing small tweaks and some EQ to get a great sound. Make sure you obtain and load the wav files into the LeCab2 or it will do nothing and you will get no sound out of the chain. And like the video says, you WANT the LeCab2 (or something like it) because the improvement in sound is tremendous. I used the Catharsis Cabinet Impulse files from here: metalhomerecording.com/best-free-guitar-cab-ir/ I am using Reaper, running on a midrange windows laptop, with a Steinberg UM22-mk22 digital interface, and a cheap used Fender Squire Bullet Strat from a Pawn Shop.
What are you using for an interface? With this signal chain that you have, I am getting really bad crackling and have had to push my buffer size up to 512. I have crazy latency.
What daw are you using? Drum software and kit used? Sorry for all the questions. I got a whole entire metal album written out and ready to go, but am not happy with quality from Ableton I am getting. Plz reply!
This is indeed a killer djent tone ... I did not clear out how you came to that great stereo tone at the end. Have you added additional stereo effects or different settings for left/right channel, or did you only play your track twice?
I love the guitar sound,by the way i Use Logic Pro X,and Line 6 HD Pro X,,,,,,,Ibanez M80M,,,any sugestions of useful free plugins or low cost.And i was wondering how to make that stutter guitar sound,,,,thx
A lot of the stuttering guitar sound you speak of comes from editing and gates. My suggestion would be to apply a heavy gate before the tube screamer, and one after as well.
You should have the option to load in Lecab as a mono plugin, not stereo. Regardless it shouldnt matter as long as you have the impulses in mono. If youd rather, you could try different impulse loaders, like nadIR.
Dont use presets. Theyre good as a starting reference, but no source sound is ever the exact same, so using a preset is almost worthless. If you want to use one, only use it as a starting point.
I believe on mac you go into your computer's library > audio > components and drag the .component file into there. Im not sure if it works like that with garageband but id assume so. Im using Logic Pro X, but all noise gates works the same. Keep in mind that these settings might not work EXACTLY for you unless you play the same and have the same guitar. tweak to your own preferences :)
Yes both guitars are mono. But the key to getting a big sound is to record two guitars, one hard left and one hard right. Dont copy and paste the guitar tracks because it'll just make it mono. Even if youre playing the same part on guitar, record it twice!
If you look on my track with all the plugins in it, you'll see at the bottom (just above the levels/fader) theres a box that says Stereo Out. Change that to Bus 1 or whatever number, and it'll instantly make a bus in your mixer.
+Nick Harmon Go Devices -> Plugin-Information -> VST 2.x Pluginpath -> Add -> search for the folder with the sims and add it. Then refresh and they should show up.
Yeah I do! I used to have a presonus firestudio project. I decided to upgrade to the Focusrite Saffire pro 40 because the preamps were less tinny/thin sounding.
your style of writing is great and awesome to listen to...question ..when i download the plugins i don't know how to use them in logic pro 9 .. what is the process to using them? any help thanks

Holy shit you sound exactly like Walter Jr. from Breaking Bad hahaha
You are goddamn right!

No he doesnt
I don't recall Walter Jr. playing guitar tho...
Hahahaha whaaaaat?!?!

Actually...... Look at the audio he's showing it's all choped up meaning edited .....Like ALOT it sounds good I'll give him that but tight playing ? Nope
The all choping thing is done even at a professionnal level in metalcore and djent production.
From what I hear he's playing tight enough.
"If you pick like a bitch, you're gonna get a bitch tone" ... awesome
+Metalcorable credits to Brian Hood for that one!
Well I'm screwed. XD
I can't tell if you're explaining something or asking questions?
Joe Smith TBH I'm not even sure 😂 sorry, it was my first video tutorial I've ever done.
Ha ha, no need to be sorry, just giving you a hard time. I'm still having a hard time getting my tone dialed in, I can't get those mids to come out in a way I'm happy with. It's a frustrating game my friend. Have you used Amplitube 4 yet?
all good EXPLAINERS ask QUESTIONS
@@ModernMetalProductions I don't have a MacBook yet but could you do Eddie van Halen tone next
@@ModernMetalProductions btw keep the work up
adding that power amp in the chain made a huge difference! thank you!
Close your eyes and imagine Mclovin

😂
Veil of Maya sounding stuff, sickkkk
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Im going to be releasing some music and more videos on here shortly :)
Thank you a lot! I spent a lot of time looking for that tight and fat tone, and here it is!
your project ROCKS
Thank you :)
That gate is hitting WAY too hard man, grats on your first video though!
i think its pretty perfect. and its apparent that he cut the tracks up so the choppy part wasnt the gate doing all the work
This has been the most helpful video yet. Thank you so much man!
That's a great mix you got in your project man. I'd love to listen to more of your stuff! :)
Unreal
Really great man! Thanks so much, looking forward to your next video!
This tone is amazing
dude that riff at the end is bangin'!
Great vid dude! I've been using Podfarm for years and recently got a Schecter c1 classic so I gotta try this amazing tone you've come up with

Usually highpass is 12db cut on those frequencies, if you want to cut them more you have to use another filter.

Song is awesome blended yet choppy keeps even the ADD attention span paying attention to whats next. Nice one
I'd love to know if the drums were recorded or programmed. Awesome tutorial and killer track!
Awesome playing btw
Nice sound, very interesting video
Need help with string gauges. I'm in drop G# with 7 string 26.5 inch scale and a musicman 5 string need string gauge recommendation for.both please

Woowwww!! Saludos desde Mexico, GRACIAS!
Great video!! I love the sound so much! One question, I couldn't find the files you're using in the impulse plugin. Where can I get them?? Thx!!!!!!
Pretty sure theyre called "Catharsis" impulses. you load those into the impulses response plug in.
Dude where can i find this song of yours , its totally insane !
nice sound mate.... well done from downunder
Make more Metal/Rock tuts buddy. Nice vid.
Awesome tutorial. Has helped greatly. Guitar ? for you .... Are you using active pickups and is your Ibanez neck through ?
No my Ibanez has two pieces. Its an iron label with stock EMG 707 pickups.
Hey man great video it helped me a lot! Is the song out yet? I would love to get it it sounds sick!

I'll be releasing a version soon !
why cut everything at 130 with pro q, but boost at 123 with the ssl?
Sounds amazing! I'm guessing the drums are programmed yes?
Yessir!
Awesome dude! What tuning are you using here?
Couple of your links are dead. Any chance you could update them?
What are you using for an interface? With this signal chain that you have, I am getting really bad crackling and have had to push my buffer size up to 512. I have crazy latency.
Im using a saffire pro 40. Thats most likely caused by your CPU or RAM in the computer. Im ruinng 16GB of ram and using an i7-3770k processor.
Super awesome thank u
What daw are you using? Drum software and kit used? Sorry for all the questions. I got a whole entire metal album written out and ready to go, but am not happy with quality from Ableton I am getting. Plz reply!

What tuning and string guages are you using???
very very great:) guitar that he used? 8-string / 6 strings, pick up?

Hi. Can you please share the impulses that you are using in this tutorial? Thanks
They're the Catharsis impulses and they're free!
Any hints on which impulse you used on the cab? I'm the lepou loader didn't come with any.
Check the comments man! It was the catharsis impulses i think, scroll down and check. Someone mentioned it
Oh shit I'm worthless thanks!! Tone is sick btw been looking for a different amp sim. not diggin pod farm
When I use Lecab, it turns it into a stereo signal. How do I prevent this?
You should have the option to load in Lecab as a mono plugin, not stereo. Regardless it shouldnt matter as long as you have the impulses in mono. If youd rather, you could try different impulse loaders, like nadIR.
the only option it gives me when I load is "Mono>Stereo" and it automatically creates a stereo output in logic
hmm, maybe lecab automatically changes it to stereo. Try NadIR, basically the same but with less impulse loading options.
Maybe I missed you say t of you did but what are you tuned to?
sounds like 7-string Drop A
Hey bro nice video, what drum secuencia are you using ?
What's the preset for the guitar bus ?
Dont use presets. Theyre good as a starting reference, but no source sound is ever the exact same, so using a preset is almost worthless. If you want to use one, only use it as a starting point.
Any good sub for waves ssl?
how did you install the TSE 808 plugin??
also what noise gate are you using on garageband? can't find it
I believe on mac you go into your computer's library > audio > components and drag the .component file into there. Im not sure if it works like that with garageband but id assume so. Im using Logic Pro X, but all noise gates works the same. Keep in mind that these settings might not work EXACTLY for you unless you play the same and have the same guitar. tweak to your own preferences :)
I like the legion too.
I noticed you have a two hard panned tones happening in the mix, Are they both in mono ?
Yes both guitars are mono. But the key to getting a big sound is to record two guitars, one hard left and one hard right. Dont copy and paste the guitar tracks because it'll just make it mono. Even if youre playing the same part on guitar, record it twice!
Modern Metal Productions But would it be the same if I record my guitar stereo? I mean on 2 different channels, But on the same time
Andrei Trașcă No, because you would have two stereo channels, The idea of having two in mono hard panned left and right is to simulate stereo..
I do exactly what you do, but I can never the the eq right. It just sounds a little more listenable when I do it, as opposed to yours.
How were you able to install these plugins into Logic? I just downloaded them, but they don't show up on Logic
You have to put them in your components Folder in library
What is the bus you mention at the end before the demo? Is that like the post EQ etc? How do you do that
If you look on my track with all the plugins in it, you'll see at the bottom (just above the levels/fader) theres a box that says Stereo Out. Change that to Bus 1 or whatever number, and it'll instantly make a bus in your mixer.
i just bought a interface and it came with cubase ai 8 elements and i downloaded some amp sims but they arent showing up in cubase could you help me

your style of writing is great and awesome to listen to...question ..when i download the plugins i don't know how to use them in logic pro 9 .. what is the process to using them? any help thanks
You have to make sure to drag the .component files into the designated library folder on your computer. Google's got the answer for you ;)
