Making Modern Metal : Production Essentials Part 1/3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- Welcome to the first installment of my series "Making Modern Metal".
This will be an extensive series of videos about everything concerning making modern metal. From composition, to plugins, references, mixing and more. But let's start from the very beginning with the "essentials" series.
And the first topic is production essentials. These are some of the techniques I use in almost all my songs, if not all.
I divided it into 3 pieces so it's easier to digest. In this first video you can learn about double tracking and use of center, followed by a short intro why I decided to do these videos.
00:26 Introduction
01:33 double tracking
09:29 center
There will be 2 more videos in the production essentials series where I will talk about other essential production techniques such as use of distance, and prioritization.
Making Modern Metal: Production Essentials Part 2/3 is live now:
• Making Modern Metal : ...
Also, please excuse the thousand cuts. This was my first video to record myself talking. and I am still figuring this as I go. The next ones will be more pro, I promise :)

Always used double tracking, but now I can hear huge difference when adding take copies with lower gain, this makes much more attack on guitars, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Upvoted just for being able to say "Swedish Melodic Death Metal type of thing" honestly without sounding pretentious.
Hhahahah good one
bu kadar yetenekli birisinin türk olmasını beklemiyorum. teşekkürler
Hey man, thank you so much for making this, this was very helpful
guys! thank you all so much! this video seems to have helped many of you, and that is fantastic! the next one in the series *"Making Modern Metal: Production Essentials pt. 2/3" is coming on August 13* and its about prioritizing lines and using more or less stuff on your productions. And it has real-life examples from my EP.
And next week, I will be back with an "inside the project" video for the theme song from the series. Thank you all!
Great video, I've learned a lot. thank you!
Happy to help 🥳

Awesome video! Congrats big bro :-)
thaaank you broo
Nice! 🤘
🥳🤘
Searched for something like this for ages and finally found it!
Glad it helps!
Looking forward to the rest of the series. I have Bias FX2, ML Soundlab plugins, GGD etc... but i haven't been able to get mixes i'm satisfied with. So now i'm in the process of learning how to record and mix better.
thanks a lot! I hear that, for a long time i struggled with that problem myself. it took a long time for some things to click in my head, and also to translate to my productions. Good luck to you! and please stick around, I am in the process of making more videos that I think would help!
@@AteshElectric Will do. I have a Schecter Omen-7, i have stock pickups in it but atm i'm replacing the bridge pickup with the Seymore Duncans Nazgul pickup. It should make some difference.
@@jani14jani oh yess. never tried them myself, but they sound gnarly judging by the videos I've seen/soundbytes I've heard! that should get you awesome results. and i really like schecters. almost all the schecters (like 95%) i've tried were really solid and reliable guitars. thats more than most companies :)
Wow this just popped up on my feed...its amazizing..keep it up..will chdck your ep too
hey thanks so much! there is so much more content on the way that I believe would be useful!
@@AteshElectric that would be great atesh..
Abi çok iyisin iyi ki keşfettim bu kanalı takipteyim bundan sonra :D
Cok sagol! Hosgeldin 😄
Wow great video, exactly what I was looking for, subbed!
Can you maybe a seperate video on how to program realistic E-guitars? There are many tutorials, but many of them don't explain how the instrument works and the possibilities, so it's a bit hard for non-guitar players.
Anyway great job, I'm looking forward to see more!
Hey thanks so much, glad it helped!
Unfortunately, I dont use midi guitars, so I am not the right person to ask. I will, however, make a video on midi bass soon. I dont know if that helps though.
@@AteshElectric that's great too, thanks so much!
OOOOH!!!!
Kinda watching/listening in the background initially, but this riff got me headbangin'! Sick groove man! I dig it. 👉subscribe
Hey thanks man! I ended up finishing and releasing the tune. Its called Dyschronometria
Thx very much for the video :) Question: when double tracking where to put fx like reverb / delay ? Do you put them as a track insert (potential phase issues ?) or on an aux bus ? P & L
Youre most welcome, glad it helps! As for the delay/reverb, I send all tracks to a bus and do everything there. Sometimes i will use the plugin as an insert on the bus, sometimes i will create another bus for said effect (especially if i am doing automation work)
Thanks for the video, very informative! I have no experience in music production and I am wondering if you advice against Abelton for modern metal?
Youre most welcome, glad it helps. I wouldnt advice against ableton, i used it for a while. In fact i like it better than logic in some cases. But overall, i think logic has a better workflow for me. Its easier to set up buses and whatnot. But whatever you think you can work with peacefully should work just fine.
Thanks for the advice. I will be getting a Scarlett audio interface and Ableton lite will be included. That's really the only reason I am thinking of starting off with Ableton specifically but I am a glad it's a viable option for what I would like to do. Once it's time for an upgrade I suppose I will try different daws You seem like a great musician, I will definitely be checking you out on Spotify :)
Hey thanks! Good luck
Hello and thank you for your little tutorial series! I have a question about stereo/mono mixing. I see your amps are set to mono. When i pan L/R and it comes to mixing/mastering, should i leave it mono? Because i have tried this and i think stereo sounds better. And I see the option is grayed out on your amps. I can still switch them. It would be nice if you could give me a short answer if one should leave it on mono or is it just a matter of taste? EDIT: I am only working with VST Guitars. Does this maybe makes a difference?
Hey thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
I always record mono. If i am recording something like a solo, then i will use my amp sim in “mono to stereo” to be able to use the stereo effects on my amp sim, like a delay. But if i am recording rhythm guitars, i always use mono out. I record seperate takes for left and right and when they are combined they become stereo (left and right channels are different than each other).
Traditionally guitars are mono signals. The stereo mode exists to be able to work with already double tracked guitars, meaning you already tracked your guitars and you are reamping and you want the left and right channels to be the same sound (which is fine!).
And yes if that is the case for you, it wont sound good mono. In that case i would def use stereo. Hope this helps, let me know if you need further detail.
@@AteshElectric Thank you for your fast answer! Unfortunately there are so much topics to deal with when you make music on your own..After I quit a bit frustrated about 3 years ago I want to start again now. And this mono/stereo topic really interests me. I watched a couple of YT Videos but I could not get the right information. I think for now I am following your advice to do what sounds good! Thank you again!
Do you still hard pan with quad tracking? What if you do 100% on one pair, then 50% or 75% or something like that for the other pair?
I sometimes do exactly that, but a tiny bit narrower, not a lot. I like them to stay on the sides so there is space in the middle for other things. Hope it helps!
What is the loudest sections of metal songs?
I guess those would be choruses (especially the last one) and maybe the last part if it has a climactic approach
Can I maybe record a DI and use the same one on the left and the right but re-amp the tone ? Would that work or I need to play the same part on two different DIs ?
great video btw
Thanks so much! No, it wouldnt work as great. What makes it special is the difference performances on each side
@@AteshElectric thats what I thought. Damn now I accually gotta learn how to play and not just rely on lucky takes 😅😂 Anyways thanks for the fast response and for this mini series
Youre most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Kalite resmen AKIYOR babaaaa!!! Farklı tonlarla double tracking yapma olayına Misha Mansoor bir videosunda değinmişti. Çok daha az distorted bir ton ile riff'in definisyonunu artırmak beni mind blow etti :)
hahahahahahha cok sagol ya 😍
@@AteshElectric ne demek abi :) gelecek videoları iple çekiyorum :) ilerki bir videonda bas ve davul(kick) balansına detaylı bir şekilde değinebilirsen çok sevinirim :)
Jimmy Can guzel konu. Tabi o daha cok mixle alakali, mix videolarinda aciklayayim diyodum ama ufak bir deginebilirim :)
@@AteshElectric çok teşekkürler abi :)
Do you have the sessions templates?
No, i only have a template for drums actually. Im not that into for templates for the rest
