Great lesson Dr Mike. Finding synth tones that work with heavy guitars is more difficult than it sounds.

Absolutely yes Marc! I'm following up a little bit more on it today!

@@DrMikeMetal I did a Midi conversion for one of the The Beast Of Nod songs last year via the eurorack and think what they did with what I sent over was cleaver. I havn't fully thought of using it in this type of concept, so I might use it on my rhythm tracks for one of the songs I'm currently working on. Also, both tracks (background and example tracks) used in the video sounded dope :)

And this is why I bought Positive Grid's OMNYSS (though I didn't know it was a normal thing. But it makes sense now why they'd make amps that combine the two).

@DrMikeMetal 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing! Very interesting tool, I haven't seen it before. Is it a guitar to synth sort of thing or just a collection of massive shimmer-type reverbs?

@Emily_M81 11 ай бұрын

@@DrMikeMetal The Etheria amp does do a shimmer thing (meant for cleans), Aggralith is a deep-sounding synth, and I forget what Viscerus does. They have simple controls. A blend, a tone, and depth, so you could do a lot more mixing in a synth yourself. I really like Aggralith's though.

Спасибо! А что насчёт лэйеринга самих гитар? Я тут экспериментирую, лэйерю диай, реамп и реамп на октаву ниже, плюс сверху миксую обычную пилу из синта. Получается прикольно, но я не уверен, что делаю это правильно. Например, лэйер обязательно другим тейком делать, или нужно просто копировать их? А как дела обстоят с фазовыми проблемами, появляются ли они тогда в этом случае? Блин, может и есть такое видео уже Но если нет - я бы с радостью поучился! Спасибо ещё раз

@DrMikeMetal 4 ай бұрын

Поскольку у этих слоев разный частотный контекст и разное звучание, можно не делать разных тейков. С фазой могут быть проблемы, у меня есть видео, у котором я показываю метод исправления сего! Поищи по слову layering

How to experience guitar tone like this

@DrMikeMetal 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for the question! I can't remember exactly, from memory I either used Axe-FX II or just Clairvoyant plugin. It's a low-tuned guitar that is tightened significantly.

@xPBKM4x 5 ай бұрын

Dang. I didn’t even know this was a technique honestly. It’s cool but personally I’m not too big of a fan of the digital guitar sounding tone. I might use this technique a bit differently to give my guitars more umph! But not so tight. I like a more natural sound and dislike the overly digitized sound modern metal has.

@DrMikeMetal 5 ай бұрын

You can try old school gritty analog synth tones. Can sound very very cool

@kiillabytez 8 ай бұрын

Could you do the same with the Bass guitar on a Mono channel down the middle, or would that just be overkill?

@DrMikeMetal 8 ай бұрын

You certainly can, depending on the riff! I'd still do stereo left and right synths just to make the part wider and bigger but try experimenting, certainly a great idea!

Дарова! Вот к тебе вопрос - зачем и самое главное нажуя - ты без нормальной приблуды на полу и в своем рэке не повторишь этот звук. Не надо пожалуйста плодить гитарастов - их и так уже много - вроде красивые на дэмках а ничего не могут. Ты тракт собери с этим звуком - и покажи парням. Хочешь ипат королеву? Берешь королеву и ипёшь королеву. Гитару на активных ежах типа есп, два ламповых стека на 6 и на 34, сплиттер, две мидяхи, нк, ротадин, питчер, фазер мазер лазер эквализер и прочая хренотень. Так чтоб люди понимали. Чтоб становились нормальными музыкантами. По факту - тобою плодимые, приходят, насмотревшись чудес, на площадку или репать - срут в уши. Не понимая нихрена требуют чтобы Я понимал их бурные влажные фантазии и как музыкант и как звукорежиссер. Кнопку вау так и не завезли. Покажи живой звук людям из живого тракта.

@DrMikeMetal Ай бұрын

Привет! Спасибо за комментарий! Солидарен и часто сие вижу. Когда музыканты приходят в студию на запись, всегда использую живые ампы. Всегда помогаю исполнять свои партии максимально музыкально и старательно. А вот когда сами записывают и присылают на микс... Всякое бывает
