Vocals please!! For Death Grawling and raspy cleans (All that remains style or so) I just found your chanel, and blow me away! I do use reaper and free vst's (almost)as well. I want to record the whole album from the band that i play in, in a DIY way. Thnx a lot in advance!
Even though you are fairly new to youtube I'm finding your contributions the most informative. Theres is a large community of players looking for information on free vsts and reaper techniques and you fill that gap perfectly. Keep it up!
Very good is also adding a synthesizer to generate a specific vibe. A lot of artists do that and its not always easy to hear, but the difference is insane for me.
@@jerryfick4523 there is a difference. Compression first will make anything that needs eq stick out more and harder to fix. That's what I find. I eq first.
Thank you SO much for your channel. I've started using some of the IR's you've linked to in this video and others and they have been game changing! They sound so good - can't believe they're free too.
Good video man, yeah I'd be interested in seeing how you mix vocals. I've also recently started doing the NY parallel compression found it makes a big difference
Dude what the hell… I just followed your tips and my track got so much better! My initial track was sucking a lot and I was lost, your tips helped me a lot, very thanks man \m/
We have the same angle point of view that we call SIMPLE. I take the advatange of today technology but bring the attitude of the tape era. LIMITED and Skillfull recording session (player).
Great tips as always, thanks for sharing. Your master FX chain is the one I keep using the most, I make some tweaks song by song but it's really a great starting point!
@@resington Did a quick search on your channel, and didnt find your set up, do u plug ur guitar straight into a sound card like Focusrite or M-Audio etc, then straight into the DAW. Or do you have any pedal etc in the chain before it hits the PC?
This helped me so much! drummer turned producer here, I had ahold of all my bands midis from back in the day and wanted some fresh tracks to jam to. This master chain is on all my projects and instantly stepped the sound up. Thanks eh set me up for success. like # 666 🤟
Great tones with basic stuff, love it! Btw, why do you use Pulse over NadIR 2? PD: Good thing you don't use the TS-999, I discovered recently that it makes the low-end very unstable, and it even causes phase issues sometimes.
Thanks man. NadIR 2 I found the high end sounds different to Pulse. Its slight but noticable. I prefer the sound in Pulse plus less options is what I want in the cab section. I always prefer Tyrant screamer just my fav sounds and it has the boost feature.
Tbh feel like the low end is a bit hollow. To each their own of course. There's definitely a thickness and a bit of a sub-rumble but feel like it's lacking a bit of maybe 85Hz-ish? Dunno, could also be the hpf on the master, but it sounds like the there's something missing in the 50-115Hz range
This is really informative. Thank for sharing the info. Curious why you don't use any noise gate with your amp sims? also can you share your Perfect Drums Preset?
Thanks! No Need for gates if you can just cut out the parts where there's no playing. I will use a gate for certain demos where there's choppier playing but most of the time, no gate. Never shared presets, I'll look into it though.
about exciter, why exiting 2khz region? I thought it should be somewhere at 9khz to boost the top end or so. Also I`d like to see how you balance instruments volume (faders) to each other, I`ve got a problem with it, some people always complain they don`t hear some instruments well enough but it`s fine on my monitors and such
The exciter is a strange one. It kinda sounds more like the whole high end not just 2k. Regardless I like the sound it's a sweet plugin. Slate revival is a great free exciter too. Levels. Download the template and you can see my levels for the tracks. But honestly just reference mix. Find a mix you like and match levels as best you can do that. You'll learn fast.
Hey man. Download the template and you'll see how everything is set. With levels it's pretty much all ears and to your taste really. Reference something you like if you get stuck. I should do a video on reference mixing. Thanks for watching!
fyi: Linda Audio Rock Amp still can be found at free vst sites but the developer has upgraded to a "cab" pay version with a free demo. But there is no information on whether the demo times out or is otherwise crippled so I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it?
@@resington I just dropped $56 on Otto Audio's 11 11 metal amp VST. It is INSANE, a true feast of distortion and you can get great sounds straight out of the plugin.
Yo, mate, is it possible for you to drop this drum preset for PerfectDrums Player? I can't open Perfect Drum one (since I have only the Player version) and would like to look up how you set the mixer in here. Sorry for that :(
excellent mixing bro \m/..i have a question, do you have a black metal mixing & mastering? .like a good quality black metal with a bit of rawness like the sound of Watain or Mgla or a modern blackmetal sound such as Uada. looking forward to this genre mixing & mastering. \m/
Awesome! And yeah, I'd love to see how you treat your vocals. Question: I use amp sims and usually record metal. On my rhythm guitars I usually have this problem (listening to full mix) where I'm hearing the distortion/saturation but the actual note is not that audible. I'm not even using a lot of gain! I have no idea how to fix this. That fact that I'm on single coils might be the root cause but I was wondering if there is a way to fix it in the DAW as I'm not in a position where I can simply just buy another guitar or a set of humbuckers.
Thanks man and yeaa single coils will not have the note definition of humbuckers. If you can save some cash for say an artec hot rail. Or some other single coil sized humbucker. That wud greatly improve the tone. In the meantime try boosting Mids and cutting highs.
@@resington thanks for the reply. overall it just sounds really bad. like one of those double a pocket amplifiers lol. Idk where I went wrong. it doesn't even sound close . There's no sustain, no power. tone is awful. but in the vid everything's great. I have thr chain in the same order and tried to follow all the same settings
@@resington I looked it up and that just has to do with clipping right? I said the entire sound is nothing like it should be. Not almost there except some clipping.
Followedall the steps, but mine tone is much harsher and thinner, while yours is very balanced, thicker and less annoying to ears, with your guitars that seem to have more basses in them... Any tips?
@@resington Yeah, I'm trying to deal with all the settings, and I'm getting closer to a nicer sound, but I'm distant from your mix result. I'm using Trilian (not a real bass, but the best MIDI VSTi), and Superior Drummer 3 for drums; could it be other things, like those differences mentioned above, just can't easily get what I'm trying to reproduce?
Hi! Thanx for this guide! I'm probably gonna return to it when I get some recordings done :P But I wanna ask where did u originally get those Engl impulses from? 'Cos I wonder if they were once free or did someone just leech them into the webs at some point... Also where are those Ola IR's from? I've only found ONE free IR from him thru one of his youtube videos :O
This guy makes better mixes than most pro engineers with mostly free plug-ins. Then shares all his settings and secrets... what a goddamn legend!
Hands down, this is the best youtube channel for metal guitar tones & production
Thanks dude much appreciated. Spread the word haha!
I'd be interested in the vocal stuff as well. Best channel regarding plugins in general! The amount of value here for free is mind blowing!
Me uno a la petición...un video sobre la voz.
Vocals please!!
For Death Grawling and raspy cleans (All that remains style or so)
I just found your chanel, and blow me away! I do use reaper and free vst's (almost)as well. I want to record the whole album from the band that i play in, in a DIY way. Thnx a lot in advance!
As someone who just switched to PC and just needed to get a good mix to resume projects, Incredible video. thank you, king
Even though you are fairly new to youtube I'm finding your contributions the most informative. Theres is a large community of players looking for information on free vsts and reaper techniques and you fill that gap perfectly. Keep it up!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it.
@@resington Any change you will do a video on how to record metal vocals?
Very good is also adding a synthesizer to generate a specific vibe. A lot of artists do that and its not always easy to hear, but the difference is insane for me.
I hear korn do that a lot.

Adalbertus Ignatius can you give some examples?
@@resington hey do you know if it matters which should come first in the chain on drums,compressor or eq? Or does it really matter?
@@jerryfick4523 there is a difference. Compression first will make anything that needs eq stick out more and harder to fix. That's what I find. I eq first.
Thank you SO much for your channel. I've started using some of the IR's you've linked to in this video and others and they have been game changing! They sound so good - can't believe they're free too.
Please tell me what IR’s in the video?
@@MrDenKrik It's literally in this video. 4:20
Sorry. I did not immediately understand that the irs are built-in.
THANX and I love the IRs. Your channel has helped me so much with the awesome world of FREE! All SO YES ON THE VOCAL CHAIN:)
About time!!!
THANK YOU!!!
P.s. yes on the vocal chain.
Dude thank you so much. I used your template and everything sounds massive.
Good video man, yeah I'd be interested in seeing how you mix vocals. I've also recently started doing the NY parallel compression found it makes a big difference
Such a professional sound with pretty simple means. Very impressive! Thanks again. The riffs are massive! And yes, please make a video on vocal chain!
I just can't believe this great massive sound you have, almost without serious processing 😮
Dude what the hell… I just followed your tips and my track got so much better! My initial track was sucking a lot and I was lost, your tips helped me a lot, very thanks man \m/
Thanks glad it helped!
holy shit man that sounds absolutly insane!!!
Man, big THX for sharing all that stuff, this is GOLD!
No problem! Thanks for watchin.
We have the same angle point of view that we call SIMPLE.
I take the advatange of today technology but bring the attitude of the tape era. LIMITED and Skillfull recording session (player).
Now i am mixing a metal song from 30 tracks that gave it to me. I simplify only 15 tracks.
Great tips as always, thanks for sharing. Your master FX chain is the one I keep using the most, I make some tweaks song by song but it's really a great starting point!
Need a full fledged drum programming walk through especially from you.
I could do that! The midi of this is on the template for download in the meantime.
Great video, man! Thanks for the template!
It will be great if you make a video about the vocal chain =) All the best!
Those are the best sounding drums I've heard in a long while mate. New subscriber for sure
Cheers!
@@resington Did a quick search on your channel, and didnt find your set up, do u plug ur guitar straight into a sound card like Focusrite or M-Audio etc, then straight into the DAW. Or do you have any pedal etc in the chain before it hits the PC?
@@Nicpick91 thanks man. straight in. No pedals.
@@resington Ok cheers got any video with ur guitar/sound card? Would love to check that out
Very nice and simple! Please do a video on your vocal chain, I'd really appreciate learning about that!

It would be interesting to see you vocal stuff too!
Finally got around to watching this, excellent as usual! And especially thanks for the template and the IR's!
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it!
sounds killer AF !!! amazing 4 real !!!
this is simple and great! Btw, im also interested in the vocal stuff
Great to see this! I'm amazed how simple you keep things while making it sound this good. I definitely need to learn less is more sometimes.
Thanks man! Less is more for sure and for me, my laptop will die If lay on too many plugins so out of necessity I keep it simple.
fu***** simple and easy. no dozens of tracks.thnx
Thanks for watching, no need for millions of tracks.
Fantastic video. Thanks! Your channel is perfect for me as I'm all about the free / inexpensive plugins as well. 🤘
Awesome thanks dude!
Great tones with basic stuff, love it!

Damn! NOW I know who your sound reminds me of. Sounds a lot like Mnemic/Sybreed imo.
Love early mnemic! Thanks man.

Thanks but no man I'm not a black metal guy.
Nice! Simple and objective. Do you know the Analog Obsession plugins? They have a really good free plugins, Amper is a nice guitar amp too. See Ya!
Cheers! Yea dude iv got amper. Its OK for metal, more of a rock voicing though.
Estupendo video y de mucha ayuda.Gracias

Is simple english..is IR simply a preset or template for how an amp in mcid up?
@@brownpunk1794 impulse responses in this case simulate a guitar speaker miced. That's it.
Very good video. Great explanation
Thank you so much for the template !!!
Glad you like it!
Oh,how to get this di.i need it.
question, why does mine sound nothing like this after downloading all the same plugins and configuring them the same way?
Could be a number of things dude. What specifically?
@@resington thanks for the reply. overall it just sounds really bad. like one of those double a pocket amplifiers lol. Idk where I went wrong. it doesn't even sound close . There's no sustain, no power. tone is awful. but in the vid everything's great. I have thr chain in the same order and tried to follow all the same settings
@@alexosle make sure you're getting a good level on your interface going into reaper.
@@resington how do I do that?
@@resington I looked it up and that just has to do with clipping right? I said the entire sound is nothing like it should be. Not almost there except some clipping.
So sick man thank you
Could you do the same mix with E tuned guitars?)
Of course dude!
@@resington, ok, looking forward to the next videos with guitars in standard tune
really helpful thanks !
Apparently, Linda Audio Rock Amp is down. Can you please send me the vst via dropbox? Thanks.
It's still on vstplanet.com if you want it.
@@resington ok will have a look
@@resington I can't see to find it
Followedall the steps, but mine tone is much harsher and thinner, while yours is very balanced, thicker and less annoying to ears, with your guitars that seem to have more basses in them...
Any tips?
Not sure dude. Add more bass on the amp?
@@resington Yeah, I'm trying to deal with all the settings, and I'm getting closer to a nicer sound, but I'm distant from your mix result.

I can't find the rock amp
It got discontinued 😏
Hi! Thanx for this guide! I'm probably gonna return to it when I get some recordings done :P
But I wanna ask where did u originally get those Engl impulses from? 'Cos I wonder if they were once free or did someone just leech them into the webs at some point... Also where are those Ola IR's from? I've only found ONE free IR from him thru one of his youtube videos :O
I've been thinking the same for a while too. Who knows! Ola IRs I really can't remember where I got those sorry.
Fantastic!!
What theme is that you're using on Reaper?
Default. It changed with version 6.
hey man i love your work although not a fan of reaper
Really cool guitars. What irs are you used?
Thanks! They're linked free in the discription.
Its literally impossible to get that guitar sound... I swear. Its HAF. Do one in Drop D! or C# for us short scalers lol
The no amp plugin gave my computer a virus
awesome! thanx!
fucking awesome song
Just made a song using this template and your drum midi. Wanna hear it my bro?
Yeah man send a link on Insta or bandcamp
Thanx!!!
