Decoding Reznor’s music charm didn’t degrade the myth, quite the opposite. Applying his technique to your own song, created a true inspiring force for all of us - bedroom producers! Wrapping everything up in your genius retro, almost satiric-ish ‘music video clip’, lifts up all the reznor-seriousness, to leave us with a unique sense of possibility and hope. Thank you for your great work!

Definitely something missing, It better than I could do but it sounds like what is would sound like if a Christian youth group tried to make a cool song to convert the lost nin fans.
Nine Inch Nails is the reason I’m a multi instrumentalist and writer. From Fugazi to QOTSA to Primus to The Beatles to Bowie and so many other musical legends. But Nine Inch Nails have been my 95%. And I still don’t know all of his work. It’s nature rather than nurture with TR. I play drums…I could play a NIN gig but Rubin is staggering. Nuclear Rubin is what I had in my mind last time I saw NIN in London. Lights were too bright for me though. I can play NIN songs on piano and guitar including a blues style version of Hurt played in the correct key (B) and also playing the high note in the verse…something RF doesn’t do. But he is NIN too. Bass, rhythm and lead aren’t too challenging. It’s the songs isn’t it. The writing is genius at a constant genius level. Even The Beatles ran out of juice. TR is still hitting those highest places almost every time. Erase the word “Almost”. I can’t think of a song of his that isn’t perfectly created. I don’t like every NIN song but they’re always perfect regarding mixing and production. Brilliant upload bu the way mate. TR always gets the darkness in his work. That is so fucking difficult to do. I use a omnisohere inside Bitwig with Soundtoys 5 effect rack, Reason Rack and some Izotope plug ins. Stunning products. The I.T guys who design these plug ins are the new ground breakers to me. The real pop stars me thinks too.
Very respectable taste you got there my friend! NIN (well Trent, basically) is the reason why I as a youngster decided to expand my knowledge from guitar to piano, bass, synths + modular and also learning recording, mixing and the overall production side of things. Seeing NIN live was also something I’ll cherish as one of my TOP3 musical experiences for the rest of my days and I’m 100% sure it won’t change as their stuff is timeless. Very futuristic, yet familiar like it’s been a classic for more than 40+ yrs.
@@miomimomiro hi mate. Long story but I had tickets to go see NIN in Cornwall (Eden project) for last Friday. Because the person I was going with is a liar it turned out that I couldn’t afford the petrol to get there and back home…about 700 miles. So I wasted £150 on two tickets…that the liar still hasn’t paid for. And maybe I’ve lost the chance to see NIN for possibly the last time? Do I forgive my neighbour? I gave him so many chances to tell me how it is with him but he lied. Repeatedly. I’m devastated to have missed NIN. And because I didn’t think this would happen I then didn’t get tickets for their London gig at Brixton Academy…which is tonight. What DAW and plug ins do you use? I’m Bitwig, Reason Rack, Omnisphere and many Izotope VSTs. We are lucky these days aren’t we. The things we can do now compared to just 10 years ago are insane.
He inspired me to buy a synth at a very early age. My music is very dark, very spacey, very violent. In conjunction with the OPs comment, yes I've achieved very nice sounds with VSTI and FL Studio. I do record into a laptop, but with analog synths.
Dear Steven, that intro sounds absolutely mindblowing. For those who are into darker sounds (RUclips algo sent us here!) - would you consider making a video describing your process of making that intro sound?
Just a copy of a copy copy. Seriously, good job. I’ve been wanting to incorporate a bit of NIN styling into a down tuned baritone guitar project. Thanks!
Sleep deprivation ,stay awake for a couple ov days then record, you'll find that 'vibe' and that Reznor agresion that stops him sounding like Garry Numan...not that he's bad just different .
Just came across this because 1 I'm a big NIN fan and a guitarist/producer. Great song, great music, great lyrics, great production techniques, awesome video!! Truly a great video everything about it! thanks for your work!
Excellent work! Sounds pretty close to Hesitation Marks era. On my opinion the only thing which Trent would have done in a different way - is a structure of the song. What Trent would probably do - is delay the chorus and do the second verse right after the first one, introducing more instruments to the arrangement. And only then there'd be a chorus part. Trent likes to keep the tension...
In a lot of ways.. The remix albums and singles had more of an impact on me than his actual albums? Like his version called "the art of self Destruction part 1" check out the production on that, it's genius!
I subscribed to your channel because of this video/tutorial. So freaking awesome and informative. I'm a musician.. Saxophone/Drums/Piano...but I have little to nun music theory and just self taught production. That's why I love videos like this I was making cool beats and sequences all week. Anyways thanks man for lessons.
Bro really really really really really really thanks for making this. There isn't much videos out here that explains how to make the NIN sound or industrial music guide. IF possible could you also do how to make movie compositions like Trent Reznor? Like how he makes Gone Girl or The Social Network, That movie type production. In your convenience of course. Once again thank you for this and stay safe.
First, brother... years later, and I am *still* learning from this video. Thank you for this. Secondly, hello DJSisterPain fams. I *knew* I'd heard this somewhere, when she played it on her stream, last year.
This is great man, thanks for the information. NIN tutorials are very hard to come by. Can you do one about Pretty Hate Machine? There are some very unique sounds on that record that I can't find anywhere else.
not that I wouldn't mind, but Chris Vrenna has some videos about that stuff, and honestly it's a lot of him fucking around in an emax for weird sounds and then doing early sampler tricks to them, like pitch shift/downsampling
@@nicoantuna1454 I don't know if he's doing it right now-or, indeed ,if the class is open at all, but I found out that dude teaches at Calhoun Community College in Alabama. can you imagine? having the drummer/tech guy from Antichrist Superstar/PHM teaching you music production? what am i doing with my life
What would you say your influences are? Interesting early NIN + mid-to-late stage NIN + late 80s/early 90s. In other words, delightful blend of generations and sub-genres. Thanks!
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing this, and great production on that track. The channel has criminally few subscribers for the amount of effort you put into it. Would love more NIN-inspired content if you'd be open to it.
That is quite a cool ass into , I am looking into starting my own solo project but before I actually do I am asking around for people’s opinion on which keyboard or synth that’s reasonably priced to get that will give me that dark industrial, industrial metal sound.
Woah this is awesome! Thanks for making this video, I was messing around with my guitar and played something that reminded me of NIN so I looked up how to make music like him and found you!
Sounds really good, espeshly those distorted drums you have in each title sequence and the beginningof the vid, they sound alot like nin, the song though musically at its foundation def nin but overall yeah bowie fo shur
I would have loved if you went more into the inclusion of noise with distortion on gated intruments with overdrive and fuzz. And also the delay like you have in the intro. But I your version of a Nine inch nails song is also good. A bit too clean for my taste, but that's also what the music changed to past 1999. Captures the rythmic ambivalence very good, even though it's less like a waterfall for me, more like a forward motion, towards the chorus. The song itself resolves also instead of decomposing (like a downward spiral if you will). There's also a lot of ambient sounds on the old albums made from looped feedback and resonating delays of static pedals, filtered ambulance noises, sampled saws, quite precise detuning etc. going on. But again: it's hard to say "this is the definitive sound all of Trent Reznors mindscapes have common". And I think you captured a lot of the more recent stuff very well. Edit: I took the time to go through the albums again quickly and noticed I was wrong. There's a lot of songs I forgot about and the whole style is rather fluent.

actually it sounds basically exactly the same as 'copy of a'
the things that sound more NIN are the transitions
i think the only thing you missed out was the industrial, distorted eerie atmosphere.
I feel like you could apply lessons from elsewhere to make up from that fortunately
Definitely something missing, It better than I could do but it sounds like what is would sound like if a Christian youth group tried to make a cool song to convert the lost nin fans.

Yes please! That intro part is amazing

c'mon 2 years and nothing? the intro sound was a thousand times better as a nin song than the other result
PLEASE
God... I wish I could be just like you whom knows everything about creating or making music weather it's industrial music or electronic music..
I have been trying to emulate Trent's sound, but hadn't really figured out how to do it. Thanks for teaching me on this!

That studder effect with the reverb peeking through kind of reminds me of that Radiohead track "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors," too.

How the heck don't you have more views. This is awesome content. I found you via your Prologue video. I have one and I love it
“Tumbling” “cascading waterfall” - great use of language
This is awesome! Now you just need a big fat modular to make crazy sounds on.

The chorus is dope, pretty damn cool
I like it. Definitely still has a cool unique vibe.
I loved it. Reminds me of Copy Of A.
Amazing! That must have been a lot of work. Even a retro video!
Very awesome, great technique on the reverb chop. loved this.
Check out FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY you might enjoy it. Cheers
Dude this video is incredible. Love all the techniques you used.
Really impressive! Thx, I def subbed!
Both songs in here were really sick. Not gana lie inspired me to mess with my instruments again. Very well done sir.
This is incredible !
Wow. Sounds right off Hesitation Mark. Killer video
whoa, very nice explanation, thank you!
This honestly sounds amazing! NIN was my biggest influence making music I’m on my Murder Skillz channel. Them and Bjork.
Interesting subject for a video. Not enough NIN production content on RUclips
