'Buster Odeholm shows his method for recording guitars in a home studio in this clip from his course, "Recording Metal For Beginners."
NAIL THE MIX is an online mixing school created by Joey Sturgis, Joel Wanasek and Eyal Levi - the guys who produced bands like TDWP, Chelsea Grin, Blessthefall, Machine Head, Monuments, Miss May I, Of Mice & Men, Reflections, Born Of Osiris, Asking Alexandria and dozens more of this generation's best metal bands.
Every month, NAIL THE MIX members get exclusive access to the REAL MULTI-TRACK SESSIONS from a REAL ALBUM, and a 6-8 hour live streaming class from the producer who mixed it. These are the actual sessions by bands like Gojira, Meshuggah, Periphery, Opeth, Fall Out Boy, Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember and more - and NTM is the only place in the world you'll get access to them!
I always have a "monitor track" so I dont have to activate/deactivate different tracks to hear myself.
It saves time.
bro just wrote the next thrown song
Funny. I started using exactly this method because I have been really bad at playing more than a few bars at one time. What I discovered is really important is to have the next part in mind so the transitions don't sound unnatural.
I started reverse. I would do one takes until I got it right. Took awhile but got it done. Now I do this 😂
Ola Bustenholm is a god when it comes to producing and thinking outside the box
Ola?

Lolololol
Buster Englund
Seems pretty straightforward and typical to me
In Buster we trust
"nights" fucking rules
Love seeing left handed guitarists playing right handed guitars upside down
Buster bustin' them riffs! Good job!
You’re an inspiration Buster! Such a talented individual!!!
thats cool man you think you could do a video on how to get your tone to be thick and punch in a mix? maybe like a mastering technique ? and eqs
dam the way he plays the guitar is wilddd
Now we need to see the advanced version!
I can't wrap my head around how he plays the low strings on the bottom
why does he do that?
@@tusharsarmet3771he's left handed but learned to play by just flipping a right handed guitar over
pretty cool :D
Eyyyyyyy
NEW BUSTER JUST DROPPED
Well done Buster , you have picked the best DAW to make this on 🤘
What DAW .?

Lol, It!s cracked and a pos
I can do the same thing on reaper, which is way cheaper or even free.
I really would like to know what he uses for a DI, equipment wise. He's great about sharing how it's set up as software, just curious.
Really interesting.
I also use the same system for noise removal.
I've never tried moving takes from one pan to another.
Is it to have a more stereophonic effect?
And is it possible to do this with harmonized guitar parts too?
If you swap the tracks, it sounds less obviously repetitive. If you have the time, you should never copy takes. You destroy the dynamics of the song (if there is some...). E.g. you can hit the strings harder on the second run before the chorus. If you copy, it can sound boring.
For sure, you can do this with harmonized guitar parts. This really could be an interesting effect because it will be very audible. I should try swapping the left and right harmonized parts :)
It’s nice to know Cubase is possible to use. I downloaded it 2 months ago and I can’t figure out how to do anything with it 😅
I know he will use an eq before an amp, does anyone do any eq moves while recording a DI?
I guess you would know what you are talking about if you were in vildjharta, humanities last breath, and thrown
Yeah so we need a buster “from start to finish” template to mix 6 hour or however long it takes video…open the project load the instruments perform and then route the buses and load the plug ins etc etc
There is if u subscribe to nail the mix. It’ll show from start to finish of a song
Holy shit dude, I probably sound ridiculous, but something so simple as your hand placement having an effect on the tone and sound seems so simple but you never thought you overlooked until it was brought up. Or at least for me 😂
I usually record the left side guitar with my left hand and the right side vice versa for the stereo image. Try it out. If U can...
So you're saying you are ambidextrous? Lol
wtf does this mean
I have noticed there are a lot of squeaky sounds from sliding your fingers on the strings. Would you normally address those and try to remove them? If so, how do you do that?
I think it would be up to personal opinion, but if you were to clean those up it would sound so robotic and fake, unless that's what you're going for.
The way he mixes guitars gets rid of a majority of that. He eq’s his DI before going into the amp by high passing at 2500. Which gets rid of all the unnecessary string noise.
Just to clarify, this is obviously unmixed because he’s just in the recording phase of the production.
@@TheJakesmitty1 Does he really cut that much high end before it hits the amp? For some reason I always thought cutting below like 6 or 7k took out some really important information. Would be glad to be wrong! My ears tend to lead me into wanting to cut a lot more high end than I do but I don't go too far, because "rules" lol
Lift your fingers instead of sliding them
What pickup is he using?
lundgren m6
Brother what is that fretboard my guy
It’s a Hapas guitar and looks to be a carbon fiber fretboard. They usually use richlite fretboards cuz neither warp, bend, or shrink/expand with weather changes
@@MetalheadOv666 Hapas always out here slinging some sick guitars
@@noahstrasmann1557 yes they do and love the simplicity of them
oh great, now i want hapas AND lundgren m7.
that's not a Hapas and not a Lundgren m7
And that's not a guitar...
Do you no longer use pro tools?
From PT to Cubase?
I was thinkin the same thing. I wonder if he produces in cubase, but mixes in pro tools. I use pro tools to mix all my songd, but i I feel it's a pretty slow working daw for production imo. I normally use Fl studio or ableton for producing stuff quick. I wonder why buster is using cubase
He primarily uses Pro Tools, but for this course it made the most sense to teach beginner's Cubase Elements.
Why's your guitar upside down? 0_0
As a fellow lefty I have to ask: are you ever bothered that you are first hitting the thinnest string of the top 3 when playing powerchords? I also play left handed but I have the traditional string order, 6th on top, and the one thing that always bothered me was just that - you can still play stuff inverted but the order in which you hit the strings is opposite. How'd you work around that?
I think he talked about it in Coffee With Ola episode. He said something like the sound is a bit different but doesnt bother him, or something in that line
he won't reply to you
What is the gauge of strings he use?
upside-down guitar fam!
is this a whole course?
What is he using for midi bass?
I honestly have never seen someone play with the lower gauge strings on the bottom, that’s crazy
Buster Hendrix
@@jamesbriggs9960 never seen Hendrix play with the higher gauge on the bottom tho.. only a flipped righty guitar to play lefty, with the strings in their traditional spots
The guitarist from Orthodox does this too
Here's how I do it: arm the 'Guitar Left' track, plug in my guitar, hit the button with the red dot on it, record the song. Repeat that for the right track. Is it going to be 'perfect'? No. But then do I want it to be perfect? What does that mean anyhow? Do we really want music to sound like it got programmed instead of played? Sorry to get philosophical here. This just keeps my mind on its heels.
ALL THROWN SONG SOUNDS LIKE THIS HAHA
Real amp or sim?
Buster uses pod farm from line 6. I know it sounds crazy but they have done that for like 15years. I believe it's the big bottom amp but I am not 100%sure.
@@Imperialomen honestly I wouldn't doubt it!!!!!!!!
@@Imperialomen thanks for sharing 👊
@@luxuriousfir I think it was the urm podcast with buster like a year ago where he talks at length about his guitar sound and the editing and everything. It is worth the time to listen. Buster is a true badass in the studio
@@Imperialomen I am a drummer, guitar player, singer, producer as well!!! I fully appreciate Buster!!! He's awesome!!! And quiet the inspiration 🙏
I wish I could be happy with my first two takes, lol it usually takes me more like 40 takes
I think he is happy with the first two takes for the sake of the video, if this were his own or a clients project I think he would be much more nitpicky. Sounds better than any take I would lay down in two for sure but you can hear (listening with a nice set of headphones that have good stereo imaging) and see if you look close on the wave form the imperfections that I’m sure he notices just doesn’t make sense for a tutorial to sit and try to execute performative perfection
video is all edited. do you really think he only played one take each?
Why does he have that guitar strung upside down?
Hahaha cause he learned that way and he’s lefty
Buster is lefthanded and using a righthanded guitar
Freaks me out to see a lefty playing a right handed guitar upside down…😫😫
Cause Buster is the GOAT...lol. It's how he learned to play. Check out the Riffhard podcast to hear more.
Far out! not knocking it, was just curious.
Why does he play upside down?
Because it works for him....
Pretty sure it’s because his hands are on backwards.
He learned that way as far as I have heard. I do believe he has said it gives a different feel than other guitarist because he uses mostly up strokes of you where playing the guitar the right way around.
He doesn't
thall
Hell naaaaahhh, the upside down guitar lol
Dude plays metal lefty without reversing the strings! That is not easy to do for sure.
a pre roll is actually a joint filled with marijuana
From what ive seen you are a pro-tools user. Are you using Cubase just for this example...My question mark doesn't work.
Here, take this one ?
he's completely wrong about 2 guitars being mono. If that was the case you could simply record one and leave it in the middle or duplicate the same track and pan left and right.
If the result is mono wth is he tracking it two times for each riff??
This dude gets a lot of praise for saying A LOT of wrong stuff.
He is right... ONE take duplicated into TWO track and panned left and right will be MONO. TWO different takes panned left and right will be STEREO.
@@HeyerMusic that's NOT what he said and you repeated what I said.
@@robjoyner1167 no that is what he said
@@cameronmiller5781 zoomers are incredibly stupid. it's amazing.
transcribe every word he said, genius
He turns on the monitoring for both the right and left tracks while recording, but he still only records one side at a time. He says it right in the video it's just bc monitoring with the guitar in the center is easier lol
