Most underrated production channel on youtube, seriously. I’ve been a producer in mostly electronic genres for years but recently have been working with some artists that want to go more in a heavy rock/metal direction and your videos have helped me so much man. And this might be your best video yet, you absolutely nailed the sound.
What I am most impressed by are your ears. You are able to really hear what’s going on and then translate it into something right on the money. That’s the magic that’s happening here. I have no idea if you are just naturally gifted at that or if you’ve spent a lot of intentional time honing this skill but either way this is the hard part. It’s not remembering what plugins to add, or knowing time signatures or any of it - it’s developing this critical listening ability that is so badass. Well done.
@@michaelkonomos appreciate that a lot. Definitely not a natural gift. Just many years of wishing I could sound like my fav bands and struggling to figure out how. This comment means a lot to me, thank you!
Ok now you have the perfect channel for me right now. Found you because of your timely release of the Linkin Park video that showed up in my feed just now. I have a full album worth of material at this point, and I just need to start recording and make it a reality. So your channel is exactly what I need.
Richii, another excellent tutorial nice work. You nailed the vintage tool sound. Thanks for showing all the little details that I have been misding with my songs.
I love these videos man, you have some seriously creative solutions and great intuition. I use Logic but find ways to translate your knowledge here. Very inspiring, thank you so much.
your explanation is superb....such a premium band and very difficult to sound like them but you have done a great job...excellent tutorial....keep it up...lv ur approach bro!!
I've done some production work on my friend's prog rock band, and from that experience I can tell you that working with real drums is by far the most difficult part of the process. So I don't blame you at all for using fake ones. It's a pretty convincing demo! Danny Carey has spent decades honing his craft, so if you can come anywhere close within a couple days, I'd call that a win.
@@CricketStyleJ I’ve worked with live drum audio a bunch and wouldn’t say it’s any different personally, haha. I approach them both the same. These days I just don’t see a need for live drums, but everyone has their own opinions. Thanks for watching man!
@@RichiiWainwright With mixing I'd say it's somewhat different, but not hugely. The big differences are in the performance and recording. We spent two years trying to get the drums done for one album.
with all due respect to the love of my lifetime Linkin Park, i think Tool has the most complex production in heavy music. like, every single rule you could apply to almost any other band, they either break it or alternate it 😄
Hey mate what is the DAW you are using? Can you make a video on how to make a metal song and what plugins you use. I need help bad i just started using a computer last year n made shit loads of songs on spotify but the sound quality sux please help.. clownfreak is my music on spotify. I use traction wave form 12.5. imac plugins from nearal dsp and for bass growler vocals i only have a sm57. Thanks your epic.
@@clownfreak3658 I’m using cubase. All my plugins are in the videos. There’s no secret though, all these plugins would sound bad if I didn’t know how to use em, and cubase is the same as every other daw. It just comes down to using your ears and being super patient. I have to do so much trial and error before I can get the sound I want. I know that’s not a quick fix but I get a lot of questions like this and the best answer I can give is always that there’s no secret. I put it all in the videos. It’s just a case of spending a long time on the track until it starts to sound right. Every track I make drives me insane haha
@@RichiiWainwright thanks mate for replying yeah I only found you last night and seen what you use. I can use plugins but I screw around for hours it's just the final result of trying to find a polished sound at the end. Drives me mental about eq limiters n compression. I got nothing lol. And vocals are rediculouse. I love when I get 1 comment for a song lol you must be proud of your self. Wish you could do me a favour have a sneak through some of mine n give it to me straight what I need. World sux today wish everyone helped each other out lol.
@@chrisdaviesguitar how am I gonna get the info across without talking? Literally the only thing I talk about in these vids is stuff you need to know to sound like the band
Tool is not complex, is just not 4/4, comolex is using odd scales and modes, microtonality or not conventional instruments or using the 12 notes instead different temperamento like 9 notes (indian, etc), thats complex. They just use guitar, bass, voice in a conventional way using conventional sound with conventional modes and scales normal in all metal world

You know I've spent a lot of time in DAWs recreating NIN and Manson and Tool but you have an intuition for it that is kind of nutty. Props man.
My man is a legend, for 2 days this is hella impressive, so much insight into production, love the good work!

Man that was so good, you nailed so much of their sound and vibe. I learn a little more with every project of yours. Great video!
Are you planning on doing a Sleep Token episode? I think their production is really unique
@@matteogiorni6580 yeah in the next couple of months I’ll be doing it!
@@RichiiWainwright awesome

Your channel is a hidden gem for me keep going!

@@tntstudios4780 thank you bro! 🤘
Damn, sounding very close to their production. Kudos!
Just found your channel, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing🖤
Very clever! That's impressive! 🤘🏻
16:21 it’s because you are hearing two very different amps blended. Marshall/Diezal for that Vintage/Modern mix.

@@blurryblue6656 exactly. They’re so innovative and such perfectionists
Nicely done Richii
This was so good !!!
if you could do TesseracT next i would love that.
Cheers
sublime
I really love "extinction level event" drum VST I'd love your opinion on it!
Can you do one on sleep token chokehold inspired something?
@@akiftunes planning to do a sleep token themed vid soon!
@@RichiiWainwright that's great 👍

Tremendous
Perfect
👏👏👏
Which DAW r u using?
Complex probably a bit off but awesome
What brand and gauge bass strings did you use? Sounds great!
@@tonymont72 thanks! I’m using D’addario 45-130 (5 string set, but I’m just ignoring the bottom string here since it’s drop D)
QOTSA please
@@plaguevi7159 that would be so much fun to do
Im an ableton noob. What DAW is this?
@@VoiresGarage cubase!
First comment
Puscifer, Crosses, Orgy, Darko US……all of those would be sick production styles to try. Keep up the sick ass job!!!
you talk too much
