1. Dat downpicking 😳😍💪 2. Richardson is God. It’s hard to explain but Heartwork is the only album where not only can I hear the instruments but I can literally hear the spaces between them. Anytime I ask about how to get separation in a mix, that is the album I always put into the question. Not only is that album a wall of sound but at the same time you can hear the separation between the instruments. Given the tuning on that album is low (B standard if I’m not mistaken) its nothing short of god like achievement. Nothing but top tier production 😙👌 3. Dat Heartwork preset tone 🔥😍💪
Yes it was, but for some reason when you go on the Colin Richardson AllMusic page, he's also listed there as mixing (whereas if you go ont he Allmusic page of Iowa, he's not listed at all). I've seen other mentions on his AllMusic page of albums which i'm pretty sure he didn't mix (like vol 3 by Slipknot). So the Allmusic personal page seems to not be very accurate, OR maybe he has a mention because he mixed the live (from 9.0 live) trackes that were added as bonus tracks on the rerelease of Iowa, Vol 3 ....
Let's face it, Mendel, just your playing technique will make ANY amp sim sound gooooood..., I dare you a challenge to prove me wrong. However, I agree the Colin Richardson (pack) sounds ridiculous!
Sounds awesome! And what a legend! Do you also like the EZX he did for Toontrack. I used that on a full album! But man, it would be great to see you talking more about your influences! Bands, musicians, producers, and just Muse! 😂
It depends on the project, with Neural I can use my own IR’s which I prefer sometimes. But the tones out of the box on this one are amazing from the get go.
@@Mendelian I like that one a lot, too! And the progressive foundry. Got some other Packs, but these two are just awesome! I'd like to get my hands on the Hansa Pack as well, but I will have to wait for a sale. Anyway, great Video! Thank you!
I know nothing about mixing. I just come here to jam to the intros. Always an awesome 30s of my day.
That intro tune and the crazy downpicking section put a big smile on my face :)

This pack is sick! Almost 100 presets! When you playing metal this is a really flexible pack!
Daaammmnnn! that heartwork tone is the best one to my ears yo, sick track and playing as always mendel
Great video Mendel! the present is outstanding, been fiddling around with it and I'm just blown away!
Awesome video Mendel digging the channel as always and congratulations on 10K+ subscribers you deserve more like 1.00M subscribers
Dang dude, you cranking out some bad ass riffs!
I had to order this
Dude this pack is so brutal….love the slipknot tones. Last STL I bought was the Lasse Lammert pack but this is definitely getting downloaded today.
I love this pack!!!
Thanks for this video
that is some hefty downpicking 😮
Amazing tones dude!!!! 🤟
Strak man :)
Hi! Sounds so good! Please tell me what drums was used in this video. Need to know so badly
I believe IOWA was Andy Wallace? I might misremember.
Big Colin fanboy here too!
Can't wait to check out the pack.

@@djabthrash He did do All Hope is Gone, that's the only one I'm sure he had a hand in.
@@MirageLinne I didn't say otherwise :) I just said he didn't do Iowa but for some reason his AllMusic page says so.
He also did "9.0 live" btw.

Thanks so much for the kind words! And I agree, playing technique is the fundamental of any good guitar tone.
i just picked up the kemper pack its fucking INCREDIBLE!!
Evangelion is undoubtedly his sickest mix.. everything just sounds awesome

I digged it! But preferred SDX from Sneap which is less processed.
@@Mendelian Do you mean the Snap presets in SD3 core?
poisioned vtine - guess preset from bfmw poision album!!!!!!!
That's some Mick Thomson level downpicking right there
Dude that downpicking is INSANE! HOW!!
Btw Colin Richardson is the best
A few years playing for aborted probably lol (Joke, he could pick good before that)
*B R U T A L ! ! !*
What midi bass did you use for this? Any insight on the processing too?
Inferno Bass
Great demo. Do you prefer these over the neural dsp amp sims?
It depends on the project, with Neural I can use my own IR’s which I prefer sometimes. But the tones out of the box on this one are amazing from the get go.
what drum program did you use?
www.drumsandtones.com/product/mendel-sd3-preset-pack/
hey Mendel, may I ask what drum plugin did you use in this one. Sounds amazing. The guitars too :D
Toontrack SD3 and Metal Machinery

Extra balls🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘
No more excuses to get a bad tone out of ampsims!
CARCASS
I DONT UNDERSTAND. How can human downpick that fast?!
Practice!
