awesome video, subbed from this! personally I subbed bc you went in depth with Vital, on how you got that sound.. I can't tell you how long I've been trying to get that deep bass sound, I knew it had to be easier than I was making it out to be, and bc of that I never got one with that deep gritty bass undertone, and so much clarity in the top end that it doesn't muddy up the mix and wash out the cymbals. one that actually compliments the guitars. I love this. I would want to see more of how to get more of these synth sounds not just bass, but leads for choruses, how to do motiffs in a modern way, etc. I come from early 2000's to like 2012 era of playing guitar. so my writing is similar to that era, which is over a decade ago. so watching your channel has really help me update my knowledge! keep this stuff up! I'm going to go through your catalogue here and see what else I can learn!
Dude you are awesome - so much tips and tricks in every video! If I can make a request - mind adding more links to your description mentioning the gear and plugins you use? That'd be super helpful!
Another tip that Josh shared in a random video is to turn off the IR on 2 guitar tracks and mix them together with the other ones, they used this technique in "Animals"
@@viniciuspacheco8878 thanks for the reply! wouldn't not using ir on 2 of the 4 tracks make those 2 tracks sound really 'weak'? Or is that intended in his method? Would he use some other cab sim to punch up those tracks? Or is the idea to have 2 'strong' tracks and 2 'weak' (no-ir) tracks
@@wavewithus4081 The idea is to create a more industrial tone, like a synth, bringing more of the high frequency spectrum that the no IR tracks does. Try to hear the intro of Animals so you will properly understand what I'm saying.
This is the first time I've seen anyone boost 350Hz on the guitars. I usually see people cut around 300Hz but this sounds really good. Maybe that's what's missing.
Usually I cut guitars around there too, but in this kind of mix, with the bass guitar and synth bass being so huge, the guitars needed to really handle the midrange more than usual to balance out all the bass. I do find modern metalcore guitars tend to be very strong in the 200-350hz range
This is awesome! Wondering if you would ever do a video on their older sound? LF//LT - Holy Hell sort of era? Would love to see you cover that. LF//LT and All Our Gods Have Abandoned us were produced by Fredrik Nordstrom, and I love his sound. Suicide Season by BMTH was also produced by him and sounds amazing (There is a Hell was also but I don't like the mix as much), would be awesome to see you make a video on one of those
Just watched this video and man, you have a lot of knowledge and amazing tips without making it too complicated. Quality content. So helpful. Definitely a sub.
Seems like single notes is the thing these days for most bands. Especially when using an octaver -chords can get messy when there's a lower octave in there. It varies between tracks though, sometimes power chords sounds better, sometimes single notes, but for this style usually I go for single notes!
@@RichiiWainwright Thank you !! I imagine older metal uses more power chords (Metallica etc ?). And do you know what sounds best for pop-punk (kind of blink-182, sum 41, green day ..?)
Excellent video brother! You really captured the essence of what it takes to make an Architects track. Just a quick question, regarding the Pitchproof plug in, are you able to do something like this on a Quad Cortex for instance and blend it into your tone? I am unsure if you are familiar with it at all, but any advice would be super helpful. Can't wait for your next video! You earned a fan and a subscriber!
Thanks for the kind words man! Means a lot. I know nothing about the Quad Cortex to be honest. I'm sure it'll have a pitch shifter but I don't know if you can blend the dry signal with the pitched one. But if it can't do it then I don't see why it wouldn't be an option to just find a cheap octaver pedal that can do that and put it before the cortex? Maybe would be a workaround for getting the tone. Sorry I can't help more!
Hey man, first of all, great content, secondly I have a question about your drum routing and processing, when you process for example the snare, and you add compression and distortion and stuff to it, do you apply that to the sum of it? Meaning the reverb, room mic, OH mic or just on the close mic and then process the room mics for example of all the drum pieces in another track? I tend to overthink stuff and I'm not sure what would be the best way to process my drums :p. From what I understand when you record real drums, you have the individual close mics on separate tracks, then the OH mic of all the instruments in another track and then the Room mic with all the instruments in another right (at least on a basic configuration)? But I guess with a plugin like GGD you can route them however. Well what's your advice?
Such a great video! Do you think a TSC 808 core tube screamer could work instead of the SS-11x? The TSC808 is free on Mercuriall so I'm trying with that, but I'm having trouble with finding the right settings.
_I’m hoping to see your channel grow. You have the sickest tutorials on how to make the music sound thicker and more distorted but in a positive way. 😈😈😈😈 No Beethoven music lessons here. Just heavy monstrous music!_
Great work🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Crazy guitar riff Thank you for your tutorial! 👍👍👍 Please tell me, how do your basses not conflict with each other? Do you equalize them? Thank you!
it’s basically a high pass filter being slowly released (letting in more high frequencies slowly). not sure that there’s a specific name for it or anything. just high-passing
same here for my nu-deathcore, modern metal has great production that other genres can learn from. knocked loose is a great example of this, heavy asf beatdown hardcore with the best production in the genre
very cool vid dude, seriously what about your recording gear? like guitar, audio interface or other stuff like if you connected straight to your audio interface or if you have a DI in the middle
Just using my hartwood charger with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and Jazz in the neck. Scarlett 2i2 going straight into my Mac. Nothing crazy. I try to be a minimalist with gear haha
@@RichiiWainwright hahaha same here actually, but your guitar sounds huge. I got an Ibanez GIO GRG7221QA 7 strings (with stock pickups) prilarly for djent music and I'm looking for a big guitar sound like you did in this video. Do you think that new pickups could be a game changer?
@@mipiaceiltubo upgrading pickups does improve the tone a little if the stock ones suck, but I think people way overhype pickups. Getting the right sound imo comes almost entirely from the right amp head and cab, with the right distortion and EQ. Training your ear to know what to EQ is a huge part of it. If I played a $50 guitar into the tone in this vid it’d sound probably almost exactly the same. Pickups I’d say are 5% of less of the tone
Hey! Great video! Would it be too much to ask if I wanted a tutorial video on riffs like that? I don't usually play in drop tunings soo..also maybe you've already done a video on that. I'm still going through your vids but thought I'd comment anyway. Let you know I appreciate what you're doing ❤
great channel and approach great advice brother, very helpful indeed. but if you read this i challenge you to do a song like "moonlight rendezvous " by beast in black. its very interesting to see your approach on it.
I just checked that track out. Holy wow. That's the most epic, most 80s thing I've ever heard hahaha. Amazing. Idk if I'll do a vid on them, but thanks for turning me onto a great band regardless!
@@RichiiWainwright ohh wow...thanks for your kind response bro...its nice to hear that u listen the track n love them i love them too...their 80's sound with metal and Yannis Papadopoulos got some amazing range man...love his tone.....your welcome....its very helpful if you do a video on them...but totally love your channel bro...the inside you are giving to us are very helpful and interesting...keep it up bro...God Bless you \m/ Edit : its very kind and very generous if you could please provide Vital presets you are using in videos bro...it helps a ton (Because im not good in synths).
I watched like 5 of your videos and wondered what is the thing that is off. Then it hit me after the video about Mick Gordon and other stuff. You never use palm muting which is the very essence of metal. Its also the best way to find the right amount of distortion when searching for perfect tone. If it doesnt chug then its missing something. Dont know if you just dont know how to do it or what is the case, but i highly suggest to perfect the art of palm muting. Just listen Doom ost bfg division and you see how much of a game changer it is
Hey when making an offer on your site for this, it says "Expiration date" and I'm confused. What's the expiration date for? Is that when the offer expires or the exclusive rights payed for expire? Which one? I'm confused.
On my beatstars page? I’m not sure, I’d guess it’s the expiry for the offer. If the license is set to expire after a while that’s something in beatstars terms that I’ll have to look into. But I’m not enforce that anyway if it was the case, once someone’s bought it’s theirs forever as far as I’m concerned
Sounds like something that could have been of classic symptoms, especially with that saw synth sounds like tear gas. Not as much like their last two singles
I don’t follow why your drum tracks are split out like this. I get the mixing them out of the box thing, but don’t you typically just have your one drum track and that’s where all your midi stays?
Typically yes, but it limits options. You can route each track out to its own bus track but I’ve had issues when I tried doing that with GGD drums so I just do it this way so I can focus on each one separately
Damn. This is why I need to get sponsored by these companies asap. I'm selling their gear for them and I'm not even meaning to. This amp and pedal are by no means the "right" thing to use, and the band no way used these products for their music. It's just what I have, and the idea with this vid is to show people you can use whatever you have and don't have to buy the same gear the band used. Whatever gear you're using it always comes down to using your ears. The only other thing I'm using though, besides the amp and Tubescreamer, is EQ, so I don't know how your tone could be far off if you're using the same things. I'd probably have to hear a clip or something to help
this is a great channel, lots of insider cheat codes given for layered sounds.
This was so useful. Most vidoes spend forever talking about stuff that doesnt matter, you went straight to the point. Perfect.
Listening to you working on the verse, that is super reminiscent of the COD Zombies music! This is an awesome video, dude!
