HE'S GOT THE REAL BASS OUT
THIS IS NOT A DRILL HE'S GOT THE REAL BASS OUT
I saw the bass first, and thought "Oops, wrong channel".
thicc riffers is what you should call your community from now on
Therapist: Nib's bass tone isn't real, it can't hurt you...
Nib's bass tone: 0:35
Every Neural DSP plugin gets better and better with every release.
NEED that Nolly X now
@@marcosjaime5384 For real. Plini X is for my leads and cleans. Nolly x for high gain and crunch and some ambient stuff. Need that transposer in nolly for some thall
Well I'd hope so
Gravemakers and Gunslingers is my go-to sound check riff.
I play the crowing or the suffering haha
@@nooneinparticular9868 The Suffering is so much fun
My go-to soundcheck riff would be Jaded by Spiritbox. It's what I use to test guitars/tones.
Unchained is such a fucking killer song
My sound check riff is No One Should Read This by Tallah lmao
The cool groovy riff that goes bwow chicka bow chicka bwownow chick bwownownow chicka bwownownownownow
this makes me feel some Tesseract vibes with the scooped bass and stringy guitar tone. I really like this riff!!
Never knew we would get Nick doing an ATB Evergreen type riff😲😳😅
Bro the ending with the time gap with the put in in reverse terry was next level 🤣🤣
Dude I literally said "Limelight" in my head right before you did. Was not expecting that
I love how you always write these soul crushing riffs but your sound check go tos are some classic riffs!
Can't wait to see you play around with the GGD Brutal kit, we need a nasty sludgy Thick Riff Thursday!
My sound check riff is the intro to Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr
My soundcheck riff is the riff Rabea Massaad played in the NDSP Soldano demo called “It Goes To Eleven” it’s just got everything
Go-to soundcheck riff is usually just chugs first so FOH can manage that, but then I''ll fuck around. If I know a riff that is either from one of my friends bands that's there I'll play that or something that might go over well with anyone watching.
I used to soundcheck/ make ambient fillers in-between songs by playing lost woods and a couple other zelda melodies drenched in reverb/backwards loops.
I would love to see some videos about how you make your basic guitar tones for your drop tuned guitars! Your tones are crushing.
Just found your channel. Keep it up. You’ve immediately become my favorite music, production and metal geek channel. God bless you.
this 9/8 is dope !
i always struggle writing riffs bass first so this is cool to see!! i would def be interested in seeing you tackling some dance gavin dance or stolas style instrumental where it’s 2 different lead guitar parts throughout a song?
SICK RIFFS BRO! ALSO YOU SHOULD POST MORE I NEED MORE NICK
My warm-up and sound check Riff is and always will be Rose of Sharyn
that bass tone is brutal!
Banger episode, thank you
I just downloaded the free update!
I'm usually not one for super distorted bass tones, even though I tune my Dingwall NG3 to drop E in my Djent band FloodGate, but this actually sounds pretty cool. When we play live, my bass sound check song is always Low by Wage War. I'm pretty sure it's either in drop F# or drop F originally but it still sounds killer. I also use NDSP Parallax live! (And my guitarists use the Fortin Namesless one!)
Can you please share your mastering chain presets? Cool riff per usual, bro!
Great mix!!!
Reminds me of Ghost Iris on the half time groove section. Pretty sick. One of the more unique riffs I've seen on the channel.
Great video man..
Soundcheck riff?
Of Sins and Shadows by Symphony X for standard tunings.
Are You Dead Yet by CoB for drop tunings.
My sound check riff for drop D is Everlong cuz that's an easy one. My sound check for drop c is stricken by disturbed
Nick, please make your templates with waves studio rack so they could be used with any daw and you can offer that as a separate package with instructions for routing, thanks!
Happy new government to all my brits too!
My 10m old was just bouncin to this 😂🤙🏻
You brought up Kickstart my Heart being a soundcheck riff in a previous episode! I don't remember Unchained though 😅
My riff would likely end up being either Eyes Sewn Shut by Suicide Silence or Cry of Achilles by Alter Bridge. Both songs love to rise up to my head 😂
My soundcheck riff is either "do not look down" by meshuggah or more recently ive been doing "the heretic prevails" by shadow of intent
Sound crazy❤
Groovy riff is mean af!!!
Slayed again
Sound check riffs. I'm a basic boy, cleans=Slow dancing in a burning room, High gain=Pour some sugar on me or suffocating under words of sorrow. Lead tone I just faf around in G.
Impressive!
My Sound check riff for drop d is higher by creed, get those cleans and the big chords in the same song
stage left guitar riff I will play the intro of backfire by thrown.
reminds me of prayer position on Piii
Where are the new thick riff Sessions volume2?❤
you should make an intervals inspired riff
Honorably 🔥🤘
I don't really have a souncheck riff, but the first riff I normally go to is "build me up, break me down" - Dream Theater.
Great soundcheck riff to conjure all the nerds in the area
Either bleed or an original song of my bands called terrible purpose
The Intro just bass and drums woulda been sick tho. Some kublai khan shit
I NEED THAT BASS DROP SAMPLE
What plugin do you use for your drums man !!
Sound check tune:
King Nothing, Metallica
Sound check riff is reptilian by converge or shed by title fight depends on what tuning I’m in
Soundcheck is the first heavy riff from our set.
"Bass is hard" yeah as a bass player it's an entirely different beast to play convincingly if it is not your regular weapon of choice.
Anyone can play notes on a bass, it takes skill to be a bassIST though!
@@callumvernon7053 exactly!
Bass is exhausting to play.
@@DBIIIStudios it’s hard to keep stank face up for long periods of time
@@callumvernon7053 man you’re not kidding lol
It would be the same to write the riff without that plugin
are you going to update your writing templates ever?
9:33 that is *NOT* what she said
Sound check for me has always been Slipknot’s Sulfur
Should have made use of the transpose feature
How do people get these settings to sound good? If I even touch the high drive on my parallax settings, my tone becomes shrill and unusable
Do go back and edit the velocity for your drum hits after you finger drum it?
i cant figure this riff out lol, no idea how to move my head
Can you do more of the changing time signatures?
yes
this one is going on the album for sure
Are you just running this into Parallax (and the pre-Parallax processing) with your DI? I've got my bass running through a Tech21 Sans Amp RBI, targeting that Dustin Davidson tone, and putting Parallax after it just seemed to add distortion on top of distortion in a bad way. Didn't try sending a DI signal to it, though.
Edit: oop! Turns out I can output both a processed and DI signal from the SansAmp. Time for some experimentation!
Parallax is a distortion/amp sim plugin on its own, the way you're doing it is like running a cab sim through an actual physical cab, it just doubles down on the filtering and everything. Try running a DI through it and I promise you wont be disappointed. If you want to add EQ and stuff then probably do it after the parallax so that you actually edit the affected signal (unless your bass has some annoying frequencies in which case you might wanna cut them out like Nick did here). Now if you want to capture your physical rig, since you're using a sansamp rbi just plug that into your audio interface and record that with no extra amp sim after it, you should be gtg.
It's funny how you started with a bass but it still seemed like a decently technical riff. You'd think starting with bass would make it more tempting to track a simpler riff. Sounds good.
