If anyone is considering taking Scott's course DO IT. I basically pole vaulted my recoding quality from being very basic and Spartan to fill on modern day badassery. All in a matter of a few months.
Great tone! That approach of using the inserts for the guitar on the group with the stereo option is also cool. I wish I have bought the course during the Black Friday, lol! Gotta wait for the next sales...
I started to learn mixing in 2014 with free amp sims from TSE and LePou, and still using them occasionally, lol. Free distortion VSTs are actually quite diverse, and i'd say it's post processing / overall production that matters the most, so i never got attached to any of the paid plugins. Getting tired of all the fraudulent demos that disguise a plugin that is no different from a bunch of other ones you have. Even the best and the most expensive amp sim can just fall apart in a certain mix, and the amount of effort to make it good is about the same. Ignite amps are killer stuff, ProFET + the anvil is my #1 combo (got an 8 string demo on my channel). I mean, it's literally possible to get almost any imaginable tone using a certain combination of free stuff and a fabfilter bundle. The only issue is finding decent IRs for free, that's a challenge.
I have both your courses, have learned more than I can say from each one.. yet every time I watch a new video from you I am not sure how you do it, but you always seem to drive a point home. Even when i have seen you do the same flawless technique time and time again. In your courses you mentioned eqing for the mix on your tone... but in this video somehow you have managed to drive that point home and make it more pronounced ( Time stamp 11:24 - 11:54 ). Thank you for all you do your a true Guru.. Anyone reading this that has not bought up both his courses GTM and Mixing Extreme Metal. Your only hurting yourself. I would have paid more than what he was asking knowing what i know now about the courses, and buy his music he is not only good at mixing he is also a phenomenal writer..
The good old Emissary always works if i don`t know which amp i should use. It sounds always good, and the Guitar Tone Mastery course realy helped me out to make it better, same goes for the Mixing Extreme metal course! And it`s great to see how evrybody helps each other on the Discord, great video as always, cheers!
Great! And your course was very helpful to understand what's going on with cabs, eqs etc. I feel really upgraded and really stupid I didnt know these things before.!
Any chance you could do a similar video but using a guitar VST instead of a real guitar? What would you change in the process for example? Thanks for putting this vid together!
@@ChernobylAudio666 I'm using mostly Hydra from Impact Soundworks (without using the 8th string) and usually, the pick attack is an issue on tremolo parts (The VST allows me to completely remove the pick sound so I turn that knob completely down), besides that, I can apply the same principles as here to get "decent" results with my current skills. Maybe pick sounds removal is another story (and possibly another video). I'm also under the impression that a VST wouldn't give me a similar sustain compared to a real guitar through an amp sim... Not sure if there is something that can be done on that or if it is just me. Thanks for the reply!
Scott, I'm really struggling with a lot of high frequency "white noise" in my straight in DI guitar tracks with my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 2nd gen. This appears to be noise from the interface itself as it doesn't change when input monitoring and the guitar volume is all the way up, or all the way down. Any advice on dealing with inherent noise from preamps/converters? PS. the noise doesn't change when I move the guitar through different quadrants or get closer or further away from RFI emitting sources in the room.
Hey, Scott. I'm a new subscriber. There's a lot of info out there but your channel really provides what I'm going for, awesome. PS Is the guitar tone mastery course beginner friendly?
Thanks for the comment man, I appreciate that. As for GTM, it's from level 0, explaining the absolute bare bones of what needs to be done from A-Z. You'll probably have an advantage because you won't have any bad habits like all the rest of us had :D
Good vid..I have a Scarlett solo, ND I also upgraded to RME babyface...my issue is using neural dsp plugins and helix native in Cubase pro 11, my guitars all sound super bassy or mid emphasized..boxy or nasal too..I have high end guitars (ibanez JS Suhr Classic custom, PRS Custom, 2 Strandbergs with Fishman Fluences, and new strings..but yet, I get very bass/muddy/nasal..almost like a light wah on as filter tones...? Anyone have any ideas?
This is absolutely true. I often joke with the Ignite Amp guys that they could have been millionaires, haha. But that begs the question.. had it not been free, would it have become one of the most famous amp simulators for metal? Who knows :D
Heads-up! The download link for the TS-999 will not work on Chrome. I copied the address and opened it in IE/Edge (default MS browser) and had no issue downloading.
Hey mate, awesome video! I have a question though. I work on a windows and the DAW I use is Ableton 9.0. I have followed your instructions and downloaded the files and executed them. It says I have finished installing STL Tonehub - Ignite Amps Emissary Presets on my computer and I have copied the files to my VST / PLUGIN folder which I use on Ableton, but the Emissary doesn't show up on my list of Plugins on Ableton. Any idea as to why? Help would be greatly appreciated! Thx.
Hey Scott, got a question. When recording a guitar with emgs (57/66) the di track has no detail...like it looks like one giant blob whereas, my other guitar with passive pickups gives me all the detail I need to make edits. Is there a way to fix this, or is that just how active pickups are?
@@ChernobylAudio666 Thank you sir. my audio interface is behringer this sound is very bad and worst 😭 i am cannot get a metal tone 😂😂😭 but now i combine soundcraft preamp to behringer and sound is better
Awesome! Thanks for the info Scott, and the Guitar Tone Mastery course is awesome!!
If anyone is considering taking Scott's course DO IT. I basically pole vaulted my recoding quality from being very basic and Spartan to fill on modern day badassery. All in a matter of a few months.
Just downloaded Emissary and NadIR. More awesome shit to get lost in for days and days. Pure power!
Can't believe I just found this channel pretty recently, thanks for sharing !

Thank you so much Scott! All of your videos being so much value I’m learning much from you! Your Metal Guitar Mastery course is the best ever!
Your channel has been the most helpful for me for audio production. Thanks a bunch, plan on checking out your course.
dude youre a legend. Ive searched all over and this is the best amp youve shared here... thanks so much!
Great tone and info dude ! I use Audio Assault’s Sigma and RVXX , and I’m really happy with them haha , cheers!

Dude, thank you. Don't even know how to respond to that, other than a huge thank you. I'm glad I've been able to help!

Sounds great and I can totally recommend Guitar Tone Mastery and the community
Does anyone know where to find the default irs that come with nadir? I can't seem to find them and it's been a few years since lol
Hello to all the awesome GTM crew!!! You did it again Scott!!! The fu&€g tone Master!!
Great! And your course was very helpful to understand what's going on with cabs, eqs etc. I feel really upgraded and really stupid I didnt know these things before.!
Emissary is awesome ! I really like the STL stuff ! The Will Putney plugin is one of my favourite plugins ever. Very cool tone !
Emissary even makes some of my efforts sound half decent. That's how good it is.
Buddy, this is quality info. Great job!
Dude that's one killer tone!!!
Any chance you could do a similar video but using a guitar VST instead of a real guitar? What would you change in the process for example? Thanks for putting this vid together!
Process wouldn't change at all! I have done this exact same thing using Solemn Tones Odin II with great results

IMO, Emissary can even compete with other paid amp sims. It’s that good.

@@ChernobylAudio666 I would think it would be as popular Mercurial or TSE if it`s paid lol

if thesse can't be played via midi are they really VSTs?
This was extremely useful Scott! Which frequencies did you cut on a low-pass filter?
Hey there! I think here I did a low cut around 100 and a hi-cut at about 7k or so.. standard cuts for me :)
@@ChernobylAudio666 Cheers mate!

Where is the link for the Metal Guitar Mastery Course? I've looked everywhere.

hm I thought it`s easier to suck out harshness than adding presence, lo-pass EQ until problem disappears
If it works for you, that's all that matters !
Yo do they work on fl?
Great, as always. Дякую
Как всегда великолепный 😂😍 эмэйзинг, пёрфэкт, ай лайк ит😏
The sound of shooting two double barrel shotguns at the same time. One in each ear of your listener.
thank you!

My current audio interface is an Audient Sono - highly recommend it!
@@ChernobylAudio666 Thank you sir. my audio interface is behringer this sound is very bad and worst 😭 i am cannot get a metal tone 😂😂😭 but now i combine soundcraft preamp to behringer and sound is better
