What do you guys use to mix your guitars? I’m interested in knowing what you guys use!
If you like this video, you can check out Slate Digital here: slatedigital.com/?
Mainly use Soldano or Gojira from Neural into a Proq3 and a 1176 that's it! Might try this approach
Sort of how you used slate to add more Hugh end to the guitars, I like Kush's Clariphonic EQ to bring in high mids/highs after surgical EQ.
Reaper allows you to have a mix knob for all plugins so I'll start it at 0 and mix it to taste almost like dialing a guitar amp.
I'm a drummer so no
Waves, JST and Fabfilter plugins, mostly ! But will definitely try those Slate Digital ones !
I use Neural Sims, Bogren Digital 'downtune' IR's, Waves SSLEQ (musical EQ), Fabfilter EQ (surgical 'if' needed), Fabfilter MB, Waves CLA3A, SoundToys Decapitator, and then a little touch of Sooth 2 on the bus for a subtle cleanliness that glues leads/rhythms/cleans together.
1. EQ.
1.1 Low cut at 80-120 Hz.
1.2 High cut at 10-8 kHz
1.3 Removing muddy boxiness at 200-270 Hz. Just bring up frequencies it that region by small Q and listen where it sits. Then cut it 2-4 dB
1.4 Removing fizz in the 3kHz region. 3,3 - 3,7kHz region usually have this. Do the same as in 1.3.
2. You DON'T NEED a COMPRESSOR with distorted guitars. They already compressed and saturated.
3. Add some little amount of room reverb if sound is too direct and bone dry.
4. DONE!
Keyan pin this
'As a content creator I need to mix fast, that's why I use 'insert this week's paid promotion plugin'. RIP to those that got controlhub last week 😂
I JUST-
GOD DAMMIT
The Slate all access bundle has been around for years. Personally, I’m just fine seeing his workflow with multiple different tools. Also very happy to see him being able to work with multiple companies.
Oh damn lol
@@justinsmithmusic Yeah the All access is a pretty good deal and really offers everything you might need to mix any song. I know a bunch of people who ditched cracked plugins because this just made more sense.
@@svarogstudio I did just that a few years ago. It really is the best bundle to get you off the ground when starting out.
Thanks for the run-through, sounds great as usual
Incredible instruction video. Thanks a lot 🤘
Honestly man it is amazing the stuff you can make with plugins. Imo your mixes are better than a lot of pro's using tube amps. Not to mention I think you are one of the most underrated guitarists on youtube.
wdym underrated, the guy's getting there
Thanks for your vids bro!
Great video! The demo track is bad-ass. Keen to see you play live in Adelaide again!
slay-te digital !!!!!!!!
I've recently found that spectral compression/EQ works very well for mixing metal guitars. It can replace a whole heap of plug-ins I otherwise would use. I mainly use TBProAudio DSEQ v3, but Auburn Sounds just released a free one called LENS that works just as well. It can take a while to get used to using these kinds of processors but it's definitely worth it considering how much time it can save you in the long run.
Dude ahaha I also named my Nolly presents as Nolly! They are sooo useful and helps a lot! Loved the vid as always, cheers man! ^^
Slate plugins are absolutely great
Love the sounds! where does the raw guitar tone come from? vst or axe or something else?
Awesome man! The guitar mix in this is great, those drums tho...which kit was that?
Drums are the P3 kit. The kick and snare are a dead giveaway every time.
Brilliant video! But gotta give credit to the demo song, undoubtedly you're best mix and demo yet! Really hope to hear that as a single!
Thanks man! It’ll be up on the Bareknuckle page soon
Those rifffssss dude !!!
Awesome
Love this! What an excellent mix. What did you use for your source tone on this one??
Nolly!!
Nolly just kills it everytime
he literally never misses
nah but seriously that demo was absolutely unreal mate, the bar is set higher and higher with each vid 🔥🔥
Very Tremonti, I LOVE IT
demo song goes dummy hard keyan
Always love these types of videos from you !
What do you feel has helped you the most in learning to mix the way you currently do ?
Doing it more and more and more makes me more comfortable over time. Thanks for watching!
POG
I Love your Emotional🔥
Hi Keyan. what daw did you use for mixing?
Bro! do you have any experience with single coil sized humbuckers? if so, what would you recommend? :)
Can you make a video on how to layer Synth over lead guitar !
top 3 current amp sims, midi bass and midi drum software?
Mixing is very different depending on who is mixing. Recently i really try to get the guitars mixing of I prevail band which are made by Tyler smyth who made also the mixes for the band Falling In Reverse. He manages to mix them in such a way that they are powerful and clear, without there being any disturbing frequencies. I like so much his mixes but it's really hard to get the same sound. I think it would be cool if you tried to get the same guitar sound as him, you can listen to the new I prevail album that came out very recently it's a very modern metal mix so it's very satisfying to listen to.
A lot of that is in the performance, the guitarists pick, his powerful attack that provides power and clarity, how his guitar is setup etc. The guitars do sound badass on that album - without sounding over-done at all. Fantastic mix
It’s the classic “the mix sounds good because the performance is good” it’s just because you don’t play exactly like them. Try using their mix as a base but tweak the settings to get what you want, then add things to patch the differences you can’t get
Have you done a 101 video on how to even start? As in, I just bought a guitar, know a couple riffs, and want to start recording into the computer with different effects.
How is this so good??? 😵
is this in DROP B?
Demo song slaps mate
How do you tune your ears to hear such subtle changes? I'm really struggling with that.
references, practice, and some stolen knowledge that just applies across the board. Thank you Nolly
Does this work well with cakewalk by bandlab, too?
as long as your daw supports the plugin format
And ofcorse i mix a demo all day and then as soon as i go on youtube youve uploaded this video, RIP😂
I use a whisk
this comment is out of pocket and I'm living for it
FUNNY
You could sell some awesome templates
🤔 hmmm
Despite the fact that half of the frequencies in the mix are simply inaudible, one question is brewing for me: Is it really necessary to suffer so much with mixing? First, the first compressor, then the second, then the third, then the equalizer, and so on in a circle ... To then change the amplifier or guitar at the output if you don’t like the sound and start all over again ...Recently started writing music and this topic already scares me...
I recently started writing music and this topic already scares me...
No, of course I try, I test different plug-ins for sound processing, but in fact I start doing this more than finishing the track that is on my disk as a demo of who knows how many years...
Dial in your guitar tone, print it to audio and mix from there. Same applies to the other instruments. I think its better to be working with committed source tones so you can get into the mixing mindset. Keep the DI's, midi etc for another attempt later down the line when you've learned went wrong/ well the first time around.
You definitely do not need to use the amount of compression he is using. Most people wouldn't compress the distorted guitars at all and would only compress the instrument or master bus. You don't necessarily need to use this much EQ either - a high and low pass is often enough. The important thing is to start with a good guitar tone that you like.
Hey man, real dumb question here, but when you say instrument bus, is that guitars, bass, and drums, or just guitars and bass?
Coming back to confirm that this was in fact a dumb question. Already answered it by watching the nolly wildfire mix video
i dare you to write a beatdown song
13:57 hit it
i watched many tuts but still can`t get the clarity from guitars during big chords. Total mystery to me. I know it`s not a mixing stage problem, just thought maybe someone would advise smth
Lower gain, hit the strings harder, and have good pickups
What Isaac said. Don't underestimate the clarity you can get through technique alone, pick the strings HARD, and keep the gain low (I set mine to like 2.5-3 on the Archetype Nolly)
Nah I do all of that
Layer in a piano under your chords. Lower the volume to where you can’t hear it then up to where it improves the feel rather than hearing it directly.
@@danield00d that`s a kind of tip I was waiting for! thanks! will try
God I just look at this and my brain is just not able to process any of this
It's not 25.5 inch 😢
Not gonna take mix tips from someone who is compressing the master bus by 10db
Why not? Useless comment if you can't explain why. This mix sounds amazing and professional so I don't know why anyone would listen to you over the results
@@Hrybread eh, not really. It's an okay mix at best, but it's really just copy-catting better mixers without understanding much about the principles of mixing to begin with
@@whatskraken3886 Do you know how mix buses work in Metal? things get pushed more than your average song my guy. Also, if you were paying attention, the comp thats hitting that value is set to 24 percent mix, meaning its running in parallel and only making up about a quarter of the sound. It def works and if you didnt see this tutorial you would think it sounds incredible
@@EthanRadell nah i’ve always been critical of Keyan’s mixes. I respect him wholeheartedly as a guitarist, but he doesn’t really know much on the mix realm
edit: also, parallel compression isn’t even remotely the same thing as just a quarter of the compression. not even close. compressing anything 10db is usually crazy, but the master bus? it’s lunacy
@@whatskraken3886 Sounds fine to me. It's literally just ripping off nolly. Nothing wrong with that as he gives him credit every 3 minutes. Also didn't have to pay anyone. Sure it's not like the best mix in the world, but it's no where close to bad or unlistenable. Also, it's not doing anything to the subs and I get how it works, it's barely part of the mix. I feel he could be hitting it maybe a little softer but ay it works for what he's doing
overcompressed. very annoying on headphones.
