Guys....next week is gonna be THICC RIFF 69...We are gonna be in for a banger
Looking forward to some *tasty licks*
@@Chronic_meshuggah_face truly mouth watering
Nice
I love me some PHAT ASS riffs and breakdowns
banger? i hardly know her
It's unreal how much seeing 1 thick riff video per week inspires me to write more riffs! Not that his skill is better, or tools, it's just hearing something creatively unique and knowing I can spin a small section into my own that will eventually turn out completely unique as well. Just like musicians have been doing forever. We don't steal.... we borrow from the collective creative continous. Keep up with the awesome riffs! 🤘
I know exactly what ya mean. I always get inspired watching these.......take an idea here and go down my own path with it.
Absolutely love to hear it 🤘
By far and away my favorite riff you’ve ever put together for a Thick Riff Thursday, please iterate on it and make it a full song. This one is special, it hits so very different.
Right there with you! What sort of subgenre would you call this type of composition? I love this style but don’t know much about the prog, metal, melodic, etc scene
Thanks so much!!
@@christianholden1859 I’ve never tried to keep up with genres, there’s elements to appreciate in all of them but it’s all metal to me :) Riff faintly reminded me of Brothers in Arms by For the Fallen Dreams and then early Periphery and Erra.
Excuse me, we're metal guitarists, we only play in the key of the open low string. If you want to play in a different key you use a pitch shifter, no barre chords allowed!
ah shit my b
9:19 Counterparts ahhhh riff. I love it
COUNTERPARTS MENTIONED RAAHHHHHH ❗❗❗
905
Was thinking the same thing!
New space, new toy, how could you not get inspired. Nice one mr. Broom!
Very much wish this was a full song that I could blast immediately.
Well son of a birch he’s done it. The man got a quad cortex! Stoked for ya
Your space is cozy af. Literally so inspiring to work in there.
Thanks dude!
Mis Sigs vibes! LOVE IT! Saw them last weekend in Toronto! They MURDERRRD! 🤘🖤
Please make more videos like this. Recording with the quad cortex is really inspiring
The lead guitar reminds me a lot of Corelia ... such a great vid dude !
Oh my God those chord voicings are amazing
Almost like old periphery/polaris riff. So cool. Wish I could dial in my tones this well
I get heavy Scarlett vibes, love it dude. Keep riffin’!
Neural DSP is always on point! Love your writing process, keep up the thicc riffs 🔥🤘🏻
super big early mark from periphery vibes haha SUPER BIG AWESOME DUDE
sofa king good Nick - Thursdays are always something to look forward to, but this Sir, is a cut above the rest. Looking forward to next Thursday \../
Not even joking when I say that’s the best riff I’ve ever heard
Thick Riff Thursday is always my favorite day. 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Yup. That riffage makes me want to go back and listen to Corelia and Haunted Shores now. Great stuff.
wake up honey, trt dropped
Been not so patiently waiting for the quad cortext update
Love the longer vids brother
I love that your quad cortex video is not like everyone elses. You did show how to integrate the new features but rolled it right into a thick riff Thursday. And wrote a sick ass riff by the way. Great video man.
Mannn, this is one of my favorite riffs of yours yet. Would love to heard a full song of this
this has to be one of my fav riffs from trt
🔥🔥🔥
🫶
Sounds like a MIsery Signals riff for sure
Ohh my... what a nice stu you have!
❤this. QC update is amazing. Cannot wait to use the new stuff live!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Gate from the plugins had a "key input" that gates against the DI signal similar to the decimator or zuul.
One of my top 5 (top 3?!?) favorite thick riffs to date.
Went from a Helix to a QC myself and just absolutely love the thing. I already had Neural plugins and man it is amazing that we can integrate now.
You can double tap a block to turn them on/off. I’m glad you’re stoked on the QC! It’s so fun making presets while experimenting with cloud captures and all the goodies that come stock. Another bangin’ riff btw 🤘
the QC is beautiful nick
endless noodles - comes up with instant classic . nice man.
This has been one of the best episodes in ages. Love how inspired you were
spot on! melodic hardcore vibes here, much like Napoleon!
That's what I was thinking too. Some Haunted Shores in there for sure
@@trevorwhatever2050 indeed! :)
Adding in those cymbals took this riff to another level
That riff with the heavy delay reminds me of a band called It Prevails. So much delay, I love it!
i noticed how sick the neural dsp gate was when I was messing around with Nolly X a couple days ago lol also he transpose was so needed for the plugin in for me
"We're not gonna talk about that one" had me dying 😂
The neural plugin gate is also my favourite!
Strong early Napoleon vibes on this one!
Glad you jumped on the QC train! I’m updating mine as I watch this. That riff is sick!! Loving where it’s going. Would love to hear a Plini clean breakdown in the middle! 🤘🏻
oh yeah this one is going on the album
This is one of my favs you’ve ever done
love this riffage!
This one's definitely gotta turn into a full song. Sounds like it's in a major key maybe major sounding notes? Either way I really like it and I'm hearing next parts in my brain that I think would sound sick
That riff at 7:18 sounded like Loathe, I would love to hear you record a track in that vein.
13:38 Oh heck yeah dude I've got a similar unit (ME-25) and I still love it. It's my first multi-effects processor and it still is the only thing that I use to get low-latency audio on Ableton for recording lol. Loved the episode as usual Nick! Keep it up dude!
This is probably my favorite riff you’ve done so far and I’m not typically into this style anymore and higher tuning anymore. The way u can dial in the tones, write the riff, program drums and bass all in a few hours is insane! It’d take me weeks to be able to do something half as good as this 😂 Be awesome to do a drop D1 deathcore/slam type riff/breakdown soon!
u could go into a halftime breakdown version of the riff and let the lead decay over it👑 also we need an full song of this pls
That gate is the best gate Iv ever messed with in high gain land.
Little Nick didn’t know how to take the easy way out and play triads 😂😂
Damn thats is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Full song release is definitely needed!!
Thanks Manny! 🤘
You should throw some of these tones on Cortex Cloud.... So that I can steal them! 😅
I definitely will soon!
New space looks so pretty it almost looks green screened in lol
That gate is sic!!!
What a riff, goddang
hell yeaah, dude its awesome!
Dude I love my QC so much. Glad you got one!
Neural DSP is crushing it this year.
major Belmont vibes
This riff is just *beautiful*
Brother, I know I've been annoying you with Milton cleans for a while now, but I know Monuments/Fell Silent/TesseracT fans wanna hear those!
Pieao guitar or one with a single coil on the neck, no IR, very clean amp with no bass, a slight chorus, massive reverb with an almost unending tail, a bit of octave up on a massive delay and you should be there!
By the way, if you've never listened to Fell Silent, I know the singing is not for everyone, but some of these riffs are gold!
Cheers, and as always, great episode! QC seems like a great tool, can't wait to stop being poor and grab one ahaha
😘
too good🎉
One of the best thick riffs in a while.
Dude I’ve always thought the same thing about the neural dsp gate. My other sims don’t have nearly the quality gate.
Love my QC as well but where I'm stuck is when I want to change the tone/signal chain in the middle of a recording session. You'd have to reamp which takes time. That's the nice thing about using the plugins, switching profiles and tones is a breeze and saves not having to reamp all the time. Helix has the Native app which worked great. Is there a way to work in a similar fashion on the QC in studio? LOOOOVE THICK RRRRifffff RIIFDays!!.
sick af, they need to put the omega on there and then i'll be set!
It's giving Omega by Periphery vibes
100% ture, the neural dsp plugin gates are so sick and smart
Simply incredible! That spacey delay is heavenly..
What guitar is that Nick? Those pickups sound unreal.
It's a Kiesel DC600 with Kiesel Lithium pickups!
Season 2 merch soon?👀
Can't wait till they put nolly x on the QC
I agree on that statement about the regular plugin gate. I just prefer it to all the other pedal gates in their plugins🤷♂
the toans is immaculate 🗿
can't wait to update mine!
Also, mad Veil of Maya vibes of that riffage! sick!
I will buy one when all the plug-ins are all available not with a promise of updates ….been stung. Too many times with the promise of an update takes too long. Love my plug-ins just love them.
Full song and released when
PLEASE give us a ground up break down of your drums.
Day 01 of asking Nick to upload those tones to the cortex cloud 😂
smart gate lol
Who is Riff and why is he so thicc
Don't forget to grab Cortex Control so you can dial in via your PC, speeds up the workflow massively!
I knowwwww but I like buttons 🎛️🤏🤓
@@nickbroomhallmusic The clicks do feel very nice!
Love this tone 🔥🤘 who too?
sound pretty good!!which monitors are you using?
nick mark holcomb broomhall
Knowing now i the QC can run the plug ins and can mix and match i wanna sell my helix now
Stop making me want one dude
What pickups are in that guitar? Sounded like Drop C? What strings out of curiosity?
Will you post the rhythm tone on Cortex Cloud?
They’re kiesel lithiums! I’m in drop C# using daddario’s
And yeah, I’ll definitely post some tones soon!
Double tap to engage/bypass a block ;)
Found that out literally minutes after filming this video 😂
@@nickbroomhallmusic hahaha, 100% thought you might have. Great riff again this week man! And congrats on the QC, f'in changed my life when I got it.
4:57 That has to be the filthiest pinch I've ever heard, oml 😤 How do you just casually drop that?? 😂
That pinch harmonic was killswitch AF 😂
U should of named the plug Gojirini
Question for you Nick...so how long do you actually spend coming up with and recording these riffs? How long did this 23 minute edited video actually take to create?
Drop them there presets on the cloud for those of us who cant dial our own tones
Love to see a Moog synth in the setup! How long have you had it?
Couple months now! It's been so much fun. Definitely gotta start using it in some vids
Legitimate (and probably stupid) question: if you dial in a sound with a DAW/amp sim, etc, how do you replicate that when you’re playing in a live setting?
Never been this early before
