First timer but great fun seeing your clinical opening and tone morphing into speechless shock....props on your openness!

Hi I downloaded but I not sure whwre to find to drag in reapaer

Do you have any outlets that you would suggest?

Great video

great video, thanks

Sick, let's use this on the new recordings

It's great to see how such a cool effect is actually so simple to make!

Does anybody knows, which Synth.Plugin could be used too similar Strings?

This is pure gold. Thanks 🙏

Great advice Doc

Simple tutorial, wish everyone makes it simple for everyone like this.. well done boss

Really interesting to look behind the scenes and see how some of my favourite recordings are made. Thank you, Doc!

Really cool video, but how could you not mention BMTH or Bad Omens as they use synths heavily in pretty much all those categories you mentioned.

Sick cheat code! Love to learn how exactly bands like Igorrr get their similar effect.

pretty good info man. I'll definitely have to use this in my next song. never thought of a glitch effect before.

Thanks bro, still waiting on that Wolfheart tone🤘🤘

Interesting, the comping workflow you are showing here for Reaper is the old workflow, and it has been replaced with a much better "Track Lanes" workflow in version 7, that's much better than logic and pro tools, and it's similar to pro tools swipe comp but has a lot more going on. You should check that. And yes, Reaper is known to have odd defaults, but everything about Reaper is customizable, so if you don't like something about Reaper, you can change it. Also do things like add community made scrips to enhance Reaper's functionality, which is basically unheard of in any other DAW. Reaper also has their own plugin types called JSFX, and it basically lets you write plugins and have them interpreted in real-time. Reaper already comes with over 200 JSFX plugins, but there are many more free community made JSFX plugins that exist like Tukan, Saike etc.

Why must metal all sound like the same guitarist? In 70’s there was one ☝🏽 Jimmy Page, in the 80’s the was one ☝🏽 Metallica and Jimmy Page still sounded like Jimmy Page. Today practically every metal bands music is almost interchangeable.

Thanks! :)

i use FL Studio actually, while it's annoying to record guitars with it i still think it's a really underrated daw for metal!

Pro Tools is only the "Industry Standard" because they bought into studios and gave them the software and training for free in exchange for exclusivity contracts, and by the time other DAW's reached a mature enough level to be pro grade, Pro Tools was already entrenched, and it became an issue of not wanting to retrain the engineers and lose money from shutting down to retool everything. Some smaller, engineer owned studios started using other DAW's because that was what the owner/operator learned on.

I use Reaper as my main DAW (I tend to work in ProTools in some studios), and even without any customization i encounter it more intuitive and confortable (to me) to edit than ProTools. in v6.20 was introduced the razor edit and that was a great improvement. And for comping, PT nowdays in the more clunky. I preffer the logic style, and now in Reaper 7, was introduced the fixed lanes, that are similar to playlist like PT but smoother using the swipe comping like Logic, so se best of both worlds, anyway you can use the old take metod if you preffer. For MIDI, yes is't not the best thing, but it's not the limited MIDI editor that people tend to think and talk about, but people are too lazy to read the manual, or even to read the menu options haha. Then, in general , when of MIDI editor is talking about, big part of people tend to ponderate Cubase, but others really does't like it, and/or encounter the Reaper MIDI editor more usefull. Even being Cubase users. So it´s always abut workflow and whats fits for you. Now, which DAW (of this three) are the best for Metal... the answer is Reaper. Because Metalhead are always bankrupt 😆😆😆

Hi Mike, as you mentioned, knowing inside out your DAW of choice, and the compatibility of the system (DAW, host, AD/DA interface) is way more important. I use PT HDX with Lynx A (n) & Avid HD I/O as a hybrid pitch & catch system on recording and mixing duties. The majority of my crashes are due to 3rd party plugins, rarely from PT itself. Some bugs, here and there, nothing major. With proper workaround (knowing the system) the job is done. Saying this, my workflow does not require plethora of plugins, but rather complicated routings, vast I/O's, outboard processing and PT satellite control. I do use stock plugins unless the circumstance ask for something special (Soothe, ProAudio DSM, DMG, etc etc). This is where any recording, or mixing system, based on DAW, should be build according to needs, methodology, wallet capacity and future vision. NOT according to the marketing shenanigans and futures we might not need. Sure, the rest of the DAW on the market have their pros and cons, as PT does. Some have unique features, some are oriented and directed around specific mindsets, and some require steep learning curve. The point is, none of them can accommodate what I personally do, in the way I do it. For the same reason, my setup won't accommodate someone else with different workflow and needs. For me PT was (and still is) the closest and the fastest DAW when transitioning from and towards analog workflows (large format consoles, analog gear, etc etc). The editing and the automation are extremely powerful, and the ability of transferring sessions between and from to another studio, is what made PT "Industry Standard". As far as the PT cost, you are absolutely right ! It’s damn expensive, and thanks fuck, some of the old policies are long gone. At least now we can choose if we want to pay for the annual update plan or not. Without getting penalised ! The reality is, in professional environment, the costs have been already passed to the clients in one way or another. Technically speaking, IF jobs are coming, and prices are adjusted accordingly (system maintenance and skills), the expenses of paying annually for PT is negligible, and maybe it is the last concern. On the other hand, the depreciation of the Avid/Digidesign systems through the years is criminally insane. This, is the major reason why people have to think twice about owning PT systems.

Logic Pro 11 not longer X. Still love the content.

Already cut my teeth on Logic. Still way more functionality than I will ever know how to use. Don’t see the point in wasting time learning another DAW. Drawback is you can only run it on a Mac.

I use Logic Pro and for me it’s the obvious choice because it’s very easy to use and gives you a ton of great features.

I started with logic and became very comfortable with, from time to time I'm thinking about trying reaper or cubase but then again I'm thinking that it will take me way longer to work with until I know them and I just stick with Logic

Studio one 😉😁

Reaper user here

Reaper user here. Cheers my friend.

I use and love Reaper .. the customisability is off the charts, and some of the JS plugins for it both stock and 3rd party are absolutely excellent

I'm using Ableton... it's cheap, when it crashes everything is still there when you re-open it and I find the UI intuitive.

Cubase 😅

how did you route the reverb to its own track?

Good bless you

sounds like shit

ok but gpro doesn't extract your guitar notes from your signal AND very few musicians know how to write down their parts as notes besides that, you can just isolate the instruments in the DAW, so why is that a problem if the execution is ever so slightly imperfect? I'm not talking about the execution during a rehearsal, I'm talking about the execution after a series of multiple recordings

Very confusing. When you started, you allready had 3 of those "LFO1" things linked to somewhere

Great advice mate!! ❤

Wait this is River by Wage War

I'd love to know how to achieve wolfhearts tone, keep hearing it's how you play the strings and baritone scale, but there's more that they're not sayin

Do you prefer the RE20 or SM7b for recording loud/heavyish singing in an untreated room?

This tone can be used to torture criminals in solitary confinement..or just to make a hardcore terrorist to burp out the truth..Maiden . Metallica.def leppard .dream theatre tones are so soothing..music is meant to heal .This tone can make someone sick

Amazing content! thanks a lot <3

this seems so obvious once someone points it out omg, great job!

Sounds like you nailed Buster’s tone. That’s saying something bro! 🤘

The korn has been doing the octive drop like forever. Also on sad but true james added a baritone tuned one octive down
