Honestly, I love having guitar and synth fade in and out together.
It’s a good sound!
You’re playing as well as songwriting is absolutely bonkers. Definitely a wealth of knowledge in this channel, can’t wait to learn more from you 👍🏻
Glad you’re enjoying it! Just trying to share some of what I wished I had learned sooner.
If there is a heavy band that I really like what they do with synths it must be Cult Of Luna. From beautiful ambient soundscapes to searing solos and chest pounding walls of heavily distorted waves (Cold Burn intro for example). Complimenting each other with rest of the instruments
Cult of Luna are great!
The band that’s made me see synths in a new light recently is Silent Planet with their album SUPERBLOOM. To me it’s the perfect blend of thall/metal core guitar riffs and dark industrial/cyberpunk synthwave. I struggle with both 😅 so it’s been good practice trying to figure out how to play the riffs then program an ungodly amount of midi bends..
Silent Planet are great!
2:58 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤘🤘
You nailed it. This is exactly how a synth should be put to work. Bravo from Sweden.
Thank you!
Really brilliant lesson, learned a lot from this!
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing about this lesson, and after I'm understand this, I can expand my imagine into my create song (still progress) with adding any synth instruments.
Let me know how it goes!!
Great video answered the question perfectly
Thank you!
Great guitar tone!
Thanks!
Looking for exactly this subject thanks.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the good tips -- I was especially impressed with the stabs in tip 4. Synthesizers and prog/metal guitars can co-exist, I mean, Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci have had an alliance for decades now. This fact as well as videos like this make me happy as I wax nerdy for both guitars and synthesizers.
I remember really enjoying the 80s synth hook in the Omnium Gatherum's hit "Gods Go First". I'm gonna check out some of your stuff now.
You’re welcome! Synth + Metal is always a good combo.
Awesome video! To me a very good example is "Escolha Errada", by Julio Victor, which is a song that heavily relies on synth instruments while still being heavy and having a lot of metal characteristics. Keep up the good work ;)
Thanks! I’ll have to check out that song.
Great video and super spot on. I tend to use all these great tips when writing synths as the keys player in the band I'm in Beneath The Ruin (shameless plug as we've just released our debut haha). But definitely doubling guitars and arpeggios as well as for fast parts usually an octive higher with a sync sound does sound amazing. When I'm not using synth sounds though heavy organ tends to blend super well for doubling riffs and for big choruses as long as you keep the upper harmonics in check otherwise it just sounds like deep purple!
Glad to know a real keyboardist approves! I'll check your band out!
Awesome, thanks! Your content and music are so good.
Cool
Thanks!
Just listen to Dimmu Borgir, Therion, NIN, Marylin Manson, Monkey3, Space Slug and the like. Synths and metal all over the place. The key is doing it tastefuly.
All great examples!!
This is cool but definitely on the older side of approach like Dream Theater, very 90s and a little bit cheesy in terms of sound design. As opposed to more modern styles but I can dig it.
It’s definitely in that vein, though I’ve found some uses for synth in the heavier modern stuff as well
hey man great vid, what tone are using for the tip 1 synth?
I believe that is from native instruments Massive. I have some presets from a company called auditory designed specifically for Prog Metal.
@@TheProgSchool cool thanks
What I personally also like very much is to use synths to create a "hymn-like" sound like here: ruclips.net/video/TwOhXvNiByY/видео.html
Of course this has not much to do with "progressive" but metal in general. Maybe it's a bit "too 80s" for some people - but I love that century 🙂
Nothing wrong with a little 80’s now and then!
What's the name of the song at 2:20 tho'? 29/16? Nuts lmao
That's my song 'Cosmic Void':
ruclips.net/video/9cx1A5o7qRo/видео.html
Lots of crazy rhythms in that one!
what keybord vst or sound you use ?
@@Artidiology most of my sounds come from Native Instruments Massive, but I use a few others as well
top. i'll linten ur music. i like it
Thank you!!
Clowncore moment
You’re not wrong!
Listen to Dead by april. A sweedish metal band. Their synth is something different.
I’ll check them out!
