I hate that I’ve been ‘mixing’ for a few years now and my guitars always sound shit! I also didn’t realise Q3 showed you the ducking live. Such a great plugin
Damn i love your content! you are the only one on TH-cam who makes authentic metal with FL Studio. I also use FL Studio and so your tips are gold! I recreated the guitar chain today and it sounds great. Could you show what your bass mixing looks like? do you use a real bass guitar?
Hey man. Im actually buying a bass Really soon. For super low tuned metal. So I will be making videos on that soon. At the moment Im using Paralax x vst for Bass. IT sounds amazing, and splitting the low end and high end when mixing. Ill do a tutorial when I get my new bass :)
Good work man! Really enjoyed this. Do you have any good alternatives to that fabfilter eq? It’s just a bit rich for me at the moment. Thanks, and all the best.
Hey man, I had the skinny top heavy bottom ernie ball strings. Tuned to Drop A and I record into a DI BOX. Then into my UMC U-phoria 1820. I make sure Im not clipping (with a Di box you shouldnt) Then I aim for around -12 db signal and thats what goes into my Amp sim. And then I increase the gain from the amp sim input into the amp block so it comes in hot. Then add in drive pedal ect. I have tutorials on guitar tones on my channel :) Hope this helps
instant sub. great video. i have a question, i play hardcore music but damn i am having trouble nailing a tone down and i see that youre using stl as well. im using STL tone hub, taylor young's preset. i was thinking if you can help model an amp using that to sound like King Nine or Crush Your Soul or Gods Hate. 3 bands i recommend you checking out! I cant seem to nail that clean heavy sound. almost all the time, its too fizzy at the top and just too much. any help would be appreciated!
Hey dude, So first bit of advice I would say is to avoid presets Unless you know how to teak them. You're better off making a tone from scratch starting from the beginning. Like your DI into your audio interface, make sure you aren't clipping. Make sure if you have active pickups in the guitar that the battery is fresh. If you want a tone like a certain band. research what Amps they use, and make sure you're using an amp sim that is simulating that specific amp. Also, Cab impulse responses for the speaker. Find a cab impulse response that is taken from the same Cab and microphone blend. Then Id just say, use less gain on the actual amp and focus more on an overdrive pedal boosting the DI into the amp. :)
Hey man, The pickups in my Ibanez are EMG 60 active ceramic humbuckers. I use the bridge pickup and always make sure my battery is fresh. They come in pretty hot, so I make sure Im not clipping that will ruin your tone. You can also use an EQ before the amp block and bost the high end to help brighten them up as well :)
I never understand comments like this. I can side chain in fl, I can route busses. I can do sends and returns. I can use 3rd party plugins / vsts. I can Automate anything. I can do everything any DAW can do. It really doesn't matter what DAW you use? If you like reaper then awesome man. Good for you lol.
@@distortedviewsbandAbsolutely agree. I do think some daws can do more or do some things better than others (eg the Arranger in Cakewalk / Cubase, clip launchers if you like that sort of thing, FL had a rep for having the best midi piano roll editor, etc) but I could not agree more that if it works for you and you know how to get the best out of it it's absolutely the daw for you. Free lifetime updates from FL don't hurt either.
Solid overview, nice work dude.

Thank you very much for the video, and your work. A hug from Brazil.
The most useful video about guitar mixing! Thanks!
We need more tutorials like this!
Yuup...
Excellent brother. Good info and perfect timing for this.

Great info here, a hidden gem , thanks mate🤘🤘

Hey mate, TDR NOVA is a free Plugin that can pretty much do the same thing. :)
Great vid man.
Nice video bro!
is there a link to the IR pack by chance?

Amazing video
Bro I have the same guitar but yours sounds much clearer. Which strings do you use and especially which audio interface? Keep it up!

what pickups are you using in your ibanez? ive got some EMG Actives but can quite get a good clean tone to work with VA's

“48 dB isn’t steep” 👀
haha My bad I misspoke here. I meant to say it isnt the steepest you can go
Are you deleting comments or something?
subbed cause you are using FL
Seriously? FL Studio? Each vst you use is more expensive than the DAW.... If you're not making synth or dance music, at least get Reaper.

@@distortedviewsband Idk. I'm sure FL can do it all. And of course use what you like. I just put FL in the sequencer category.

@@capoman1 man if it works, it works.
Can you quantize multiple tracks in fl studio? Like real drums? I can't find tutorials on that
