@@DustyBoles I reckon anything like Thrown, The Plot in You or Within Destruction would be sick to see a video on. Even if you don't pick any of those though, keep up the work
I'll have to watch this over and over and over again to wrap my head around it but, thank you so much for your knowledge!!! I can't express how great this video is. Gives me potential hope.
It never crossed my mind to track guitars note by note. This is brilliant. And massively time saving for someone who can write but has a hard time getting consistently good takes as a sub-par guitarist! Subscribed and looking forward to more content. Thanks!
Yeah man I don’t ALWAYS do that method but when it comes to more “processed” style songs I definitely like that approach because it gives a tighter more neat bed for the production to lay on in my opinion without hearing tons of sloppy takes not being cohesive. Totally just my opinion though! & thank you!
@@DustyBoles For sure! I think you could still use this same approach with small sections (instead of note by note) to get the more organic feel. You're right about the processed-style tunes. Or just breakdowns within a less-processed tune.
Glad I found your page dude. A 6 hour cross country flight and watched a few of your videos. Your mix and writing skills are insane....and thsnks for the tips!
good shit dude. Glad this came in my feed. My biggest takeaways were workflow things. When i'm tracking more processed sounding guitars, I'll often track 5 bpm slower than the actual tempo and edit to the grid on the actual tempo. Gives a similar unhumanly tight and mechanical feel as tracking note by note while maintaining a feel that it was fully played in one go somewhat. For this the one note at a time worked insanely well though and it's something I'll definitely have to play around with. definitely got a sub from me, and I look forward to more content like this!
YT's algorithm dropped this video in my feed, I'm glad it did. Thanks so much for taking the time to teach this, the way you recorded guitar is going to change my own workflow. Consider me subscribed, bro 👊🏼
@@DustyBoles Recording in pieces - I’m always so obsessed with getting it in a take and watching you piece it together by recording a riff at a time, I realized I could make it waaaaay easier on myself doing it your way.
A lot of valuable information in there my dude. Great stuff. Love that you're using Cubase. Always makes things just a little more intuitive for me to understand. Subbed!
Would you happen to be taking on clients? Jesus Christ dude, this is insane production value in the most efficient way possible. Thank you so much for this. I'm working on producing my band, but it's not quite to the level I want it at and this is going to be incredibly helpful.

@@allmands yeah dude you just have to realllllly look through their options. Sometimes I hear things that have potential and there is still alot of manipulation that needs to be done!
that's so fire dude, i got the inspiration and already know how to write especially in guitar riff, love it!, can you tell me what the application that you used for get the sound samples or another sfx like you did in this song?

@ the problem for me is, cos I don’t do it on a regular basis, I then struggle to remember how to do things, so I fall into that category of….., got the gear but no idea, I’ve got the MacBook Pro, apogee interface, really decent guitar, bass and appropriate amps, but need to put the time and effort into learning, cos I can play guitar and bass no problem, it’s the recording etc side that I’m struggling with
@ yeah I totally get it. This is my career and I write for artists at the highest level so I kind of have to know my stuff. That said, all the information is out there. I taught myself this stuff from 2009 to present day & im learning constantly. I don’t think I’ll ever stop learning. But I do love the fact that for people starting now, all the information you need is on RUclips! Especially with channels like mine! Feel free to jack all these settings and secrets I show you!
@ never to old bro! I teach people via zoom on how to do this and one of my clients is 69 years old and killing it! Been working with him for a year and he just self recorded his own solo EP after only a year of diving into this! It all depends on what you want to do and how serious you are bro! Never too late!
Talking about bands writing around the octave on the 12th fret, I think a lot of those band probably got it from Tool. Most their songs are hovering around there.
This is splice! Sometimes I pull from there especially for these videos because it goes by quicker than programming manually haha! Drum grooves from - Drumnow.com

Drumnow.com the site contains loops created by drummers for this genre of music. The details are everything with this stuff. Drum fills/transitions/ghost notes. I use Drumnow loops with just about anything. It enhances the quality and my work flow. I’ve talked about it a ton but I’m just now starting to see people use Drumnow. Studying the Drumnow midi and using the midi can really Benefit you long term because you start programming more like a drummer. What do you need help with specifically?
@@burneraccounthandle lol I totally can see how that sounds now reading it back! I’m not the only owner and not the one who even makes our products. We have a team that does that and I over see it, but as much as I want to take credit for all of it I can’t! There are a few of us! But yes I use the loops more often than not!

So I’m all about getting what I need done quick especially when an idea is burning inside of me and I need to get it out quick and not program drums for 25 minutes.
I agree that a vast majority of metalcore these days is VERY samey, cookie cutter & mostly all around 0-12-0-13-0-10 etc... I dont mind it in parts but not constantly. I miss a band actually making riffs & groove etc... like 'Halo' or 'Now I Lay Thee Down' by Machine Head, All riffs by Lamb of God etc... Bands need to go back to writing actual riffs again, not just the same 3 strings. Its a lazy & obnoxious tbh for me ya know. (personal pref of course*)
U need to slow down bro i didnt understand anything u said. And u switched back and for between shit. Its very confusing, when ur trying to explain a "how to" go more in depth. And where tf is your structure V.C.V.C.B.C
I speed up me jamming riffs that could take like 15 minutes so people don’t get bored. I try and find that happy medium between like someone who knows nothing about recording/DAWS and someone who is pretty experienced.. it’s tough because everyone’s different. With that said, thanks for the feedback! I will totally try and go a little slower moving forward. Thank you!
