What guitar impulse do you use?
I needed this. I'm thinking about starting a solo DSBM project because ironically listening and writing depressing ass music actually helps me cope with my very real depression
If it helps you it isnt ironic. Its the purpouse of genre.
How's the project coming along?
@@elpeluca7780 eh. Lifes kinda gotten in the way of it. My music has taken a more atmospheric approach. Kind of a mix between Батюшка and Eldamar
You're not alone! 🫶🏽
Cool video bro!
thanks bro!
Authentic and honest content mate. Cheers!
''This song is about tape tradinf, for all my homies in Norway''
That was an unexpected intro to the ong, awesome :D
I thought he said Day Trading 😂
Thanks for this! I have a vision for an album, but don't really have anybody to do it with, so I'll have to do it on my own. Been thinking about it for a while, and this video just popped in my recommended videos just now.
🙏🏻 I have been waiting for this video for years 🙏🏻
Nice, this is the video I've been silently waiting for!
Finally just what i needed.. time to make a Dsbm album
Zimorog..I haven't seen your videos since before I went to prison....I just rediscovered your channel..fuckin right brother ! Salute from New Orleans
The first part of the second Riff just sounds like the main riff in Blessed Be the Darkness by Behexen.. which is great^^
Excellent video Sablast!
Love the tips and advice. Very logical and comprehensive! Thank you. Subscribed!
Awesome video man, I needed to see this. I used to record just like this (generic beat, record guitars, set up drums, hit record, run to kit, play bass, vocals...) but then I decided to upgrade to a whole bunch of fancy equipment... Now I've been feeling like I can't record unless I have this new piece of gear that will make things easier, my mics are terrible, etc etc...
This was great to see to remind me how easy it should be. The only thing I want to do to improve on what you've shown us here is setting up a TouchOSC server over wi-fi so I can trigger recording while sitting behind the drums... or even just a midi controller with a long USB cable, hitting record then sprinting to the drumkit always kills my timing. Looking forward to checking out your other vids, great work!
Great honest video! Greeting from norwegian DIY Black Metal artist! Cheers!
I'm glad you're encouraging people to make black metal. I doubt we can ever submerge the 808-Cicada hi-hat-scotch snaps autotuned lyrics mainstream with dark music, but let's try, anyway ^^
Sablast, you can apply the effects to a folder and add the panned tracks to it. It uses fewer resources from the computer for playbacks and rendering.
Great tutorial, thanks. Any plans for a tutorial about songwriting/riffs writing? D:
yup! :)
Great Video, 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for the insights. i always find it very interesting to see how other musicians record their stuff.
it's kind of funny how similar your way and my way of recording are, even though my music is miles away from being black metal. just shows again how related different styles of metal (or harder styles of rock in general) really are, which is something i tend to forget when i'm just listening to music for the joy of it.
for what you've said about Spotify/iTunes at the end:
you would need to pay some sort of digital music distribution service (for example DistroKid, TuneCore or CD Baby) to put your music on these streaming platforms.
You make it look so easy.
"Always record bass after drums, that's the rule, even in black metal"
...and here I am recording bass before guitars :-P
that's ok. after guitars and before drums is not! ;p
@@zimorog uh oh, I should delete all my bass stems then hahaha
Thank you! very informative! And cool lamps by the way
Great video! 🤘
Recording drums with 1 mic is pure Burzum style! :)🤘🤘🤘
Good vid, helpfull. Thank You, cheers 🤘🥃
Thanx for this video Man!!
Finally you did it! Ive told you in the past to do such video. I dont know if you did it because of me but anyway congrats. Thats definetly gonna be helpful. I havent wach the video yet but defenetly Im going to see it
my first request (the reason i have this yt channel) was to record "how to make raw black metal" :p
Once the vokill instrument came in….. F YEAH!!hails
Great video! Cheers by Morthgor 🤟🇧🇪
Hahaha when you started the vox I was cracking up! This song is about day trading lol!
Brilliant!!
Thank you so much - very helpful video. Could you also make a video about adding synth?
Thanks. I have Cubase and FL Studio and can't figure out either one unfortunately . So I ordered a trusty ol Tascam so I can do something while I figure out this other crap. Anything to limit my use of the computer as much as possible. Your video is very helpful and encouraging though.
New sub! Nice work man!
thanks!
I use GarageBand
Thankssss
Thanks. Interesting and informative.
Great video and topic. Can you talk more about how you mix black metal?
nice idea
I thought I was the only one to write metal on acoustic guitar. But not always, just half the time or so.
Wait so what do I do if I just want to put my sm57 mic on my amp & record guitar? I don't want to use sims of any sort but want my own amps sound. Do I still need to use an interface & a DI? What do I use instead? Thanks mate. Awesome vid \m/
Very interesting, love your music and it's very cool to see the similarities and differences between your techniques and mine. A lot of what I do is very very similar; but one big difference that stood out to me was the DI box. I usually record everything straight into the interface. How would you say using a DI box compares to not using one?
I struggle to see how adding something else between the guitar and interface can make the signal clearer, but I'm probably missing something. Would you recommend I get one, and if so, which one?
Yup I would definitely recommend one. Read a bit more about active/pasive di boxes. Radial is a nice brand for DI stuff
Improved logo nicely done.
Here’s some advice, if you have the money 💰, get an electronic drum set, and why? You can plug it straight into the audio interface and have different drum sounds.
Love it great musician
Thanks for the video, great stuff!
Please check out Upon Earth - World Funeral EP
Raw black metal from the Netherlands
If I set up a cheap vox amp with a distortion pedal would the mic placement be good if I took the mic to the bottom of the atlantic ocean and put a pillow over it? I also was planning on putting my vocal mic on the other side of the planet too. Please let me know if this is a good technique. 😊
why even bother mentioning the amp brand with such a great technique?
Why did you record drums with just 1 mic?
Was it on purpose to make it sound lofi and trve kvlt?
Great Video. Thanks. Now I Just have to buy a bass...a drum....nnheee... I'll do it in the daw... for now... Thanks again. It was very helpfull . Obrigado!!! AAAAHHHHRR
Reaper gang!
It would be amazing If you could show us how to mix black metal in reaper more thorougly :)
Tutorial for 1 man "bestial bm" (black death fusion) ?
"to all my friends in norway, yo"
Thanks mate 🤝
This really helpful 👍
I'm about to finish my acoustic "one man metal metal project ".
What's your opinion on acoustic metal?
I'm into it if it's done from the heart :)
Acoustic Metal is great! I love it, and more if it's Acoustic Black Metal
Cool video, I am trying to record guitars, but there is too much noise getting out. Gate is no enough.
Followed the tutorial and realised I play at Drop A#. Guess I'm not kult enough 😔
I’m guilty of down tuning I guess that doesn’t make me required but even though the elitists annoy me at times I can care less if they think I’m metal enough I’m fine just being me I don’t need to meet their standards I got my own and breaking the mold.
Microwave, blast beats, dissonant chords, grim vocals
what mic you use for recording the drums?
Glad I came across your channel. I tend to make drum beats then the guitar riffs, then the vocals at the end. Similar to what your doing now. I also use reaper which I prefer over cubase and studio one. Great vid & sub’d
thanks!
What was that other box? Not the audio interface but the black one you plugged the guitar into?
DI box
hey zimorog,,how are you?can i ask you something what D.I do you use next to the interface and what mic is it that you use to record drums?
mic- Maranz MPM-1000
di - LD Systems LDI 02
@@zimorog thx man,keep up the good work!!!
What would you guys recommend for recording for first time on my own?? What would I need??
Computer
optional instruments:
guitar, bass, drums, microphone
optional gear:
cables, xlr cable, big jack to small jack/audiointerface, di box
one question, dont you use your 2 different guitars to record?
is the same guitar on both tracks? (i mean L and R tracks)
i recorded other guitar offscreen. ofc you need ro record 2 different guitars and then pan them
@@zimorog I think he means different physical guitars ;)
@@CyberChrist oh, then no xD
@@zimorog Using the bridge then the neck pickup might produce interesting effects. I usually use both at the same time, but it doesn't offer the possibility to change how they're mixed afterwards (but pickup height can be adjusted, of course).
@@CyberChrist well ofc that is possible. and it's cool. but one guitar and then copy/paste is a no no :p
Hey, were the drums programmed on Hate Sometimes demo? Which plugin is that? Or are those the real drums? Thanks!
sampled drums. fl studio 11 built in drums
👏🤘👏🤘👏🤘👏🤘👏🤘👏👍👏👍
Sorry bro but im going to download your before big studios take it down
Its too usefull
Why a DI box ?
Sablast i have a question for you, i was recording guitar in reaper, i have 3 guitars and drums recorded for now, but when i play them all together i heard that noise like when you put phone near the speakers so you hear that irritating sound, but when i play them and turn off one guitar than i donr hear the noise anymore, its not loud nor something, you dont hear it that much but its irritating, how do i repair that?
they all have the noise then. you just can't hear it. only when you play all together it pops up. you need a cleaner signal. DI box will help if you don't have one
@@zimorog ohh, so if i need i clear signal does it mean i have to record it again or i can compress it maybe or something?
you can try and play with it but it would be the best if you rerecord it. i know it'a a pain in the ass.. and try to record guitars @ -18db
A jebote 😭😭 moram onda tako haha fala ti brate na informaciji!
di box for black metal noo we need dirt hahaha
You have to start selling albumes
