I’ve started doing these cuts since I came across a preset in nameless x. Sounds much better and I prefer darker tones to start with so I can add airy frequencies in later with EQ if needed
@@Sinisterbvnny I ask because it seems as if i have used every method possible and i cannot get my guitars to be forward in the mix. they are either too loud and drowning everything else out or too quiet and being drowned out themselves. i use the add and subtract method to open up headroom and pro q 3 for dynamic eq but was always told heavier guitars should never be compressed. not sure what to do
- double track (at the least) - Hard Pan left and right - high pass 100hz or so - mess with Presence knob - try M/S EQ - cut boxy frequencies like 200hz and 500hz Those are just a few quick ideas to try without going in depth! 🤘
This isn't a knock against you, but I hate the modern metal tone. How people need a tube screamer on a 5150 is beyond me. And this is coming from someone that owns a physical one.
I mean, it's just a tone that works. Yeah, It's overused, but it's hard to beat. The notion of having your "own tone" is tough because it usually sounds like garbage. 🤣
This exactly. You don't need a TS in front of a high gain amp. It's a myth that's permeated through metal and has no basis in fact other than follow the herd. And yes I own a Soldano 100
this actually worked and im kinda satisfied, gotta try it with new strings, Thanks!
Glad it helped!
That reverb trick is great! Helps the tone feel a lot more natural for me
Glad you like it!
this week I'm going to buy a MIDI controller.. control NDSP with mouse is a pain
Thanks for the video man! Going to try to get some 7 string Mike stringer spiritbox goodness! Do you think I can get those tones with this plug in?
Oh, definitely. This is like the best rhythm tone plugin ever.
Stringer has his own plugin on Mixwave. It's ok.
no High/low cut? I generally go 6500-6800 on the high and 50-80 on the low. Prevents frequency overlap. God bless leon todd. Solid Vid!

I try not to use additive EQ too much
Depends on the Preset, amp, cab, etc
do you compress your guitars?
Usually a little, but it depends on the song
