Thanks to this vid and your help, I've finally put Zimorog on other sites such as Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Apple Music, Pandora, Napster etc. Via Distributor (DistroKid) Some links: Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/2BvtYPc1AjZfmweh1g0FJ4 ITunes: music.apple.com/us/artist/zimorog/1536113146

I needed this. I'm thinking about starting a solo DSBM project because ironically listening and writing depressing ass music actually helps me cope with my very real depression

I see you are using Reaper as well. Nice. Even though the updates sometimes mess up my shortcuts it's pretty good!

Cool video bro!

''This song is about tape tradinf, for all my homies in Norway'' That was an unexpected intro to the ong, awesome :D

Authentic and honest content mate. Cheers!

Nice, this is the video I've been silently waiting for!

🙏🏻 I have been waiting for this video for years 🙏🏻

Thanks for this! I have a vision for an album, but don't really have anybody to do it with, so I'll have to do it on my own. Been thinking about it for a while, and this video just popped in my recommended videos just now.

Love the tips and advice. Very logical and comprehensive! Thank you. Subscribed!

Excellent video Sablast!

Thank you! very informative! And cool lamps by the way

Finally just what i needed.. time to make a Dsbm album

thanks for the insights. i always find it very interesting to see how other musicians record their stuff. it's kind of funny how similar your way and my way of recording are, even though my music is miles away from being black metal. just shows again how related different styles of metal (or harder styles of rock in general) really are, which is something i tend to forget when i'm just listening to music for the joy of it. for what you've said about Spotify/iTunes at the end: you would need to pay some sort of digital music distribution service (for example DistroKid, TuneCore or CD Baby) to put your music on these streaming platforms.

Awesome video man, I needed to see this. I used to record just like this (generic beat, record guitars, set up drums, hit record, run to kit, play bass, vocals...) but then I decided to upgrade to a whole bunch of fancy equipment... Now I've been feeling like I can't record unless I have this new piece of gear that will make things easier, my mics are terrible, etc etc... This was great to see to remind me how easy it should be. The only thing I want to do to improve on what you've shown us here is setting up a TouchOSC server over wi-fi so I can trigger recording while sitting behind the drums... or even just a midi controller with a long USB cable, hitting record then sprinting to the drumkit always kills my timing. Looking forward to checking out your other vids, great work!

Zimorog..I haven't seen your videos since before I went to prison....I just rediscovered your channel..fuckin right brother ! Salute from New Orleans

Great video! 🤘

I use GarageBand

Great honest video! Greeting from norwegian DIY Black Metal artist! Cheers!

Thanx for this video Man!!

I'm glad you're encouraging people to make black metal. I doubt we can ever submerge the 808-Cicada hi-hat-scotch snaps autotuned lyrics mainstream with dark music, but let's try, anyway ^^

Good vid, helpfull. Thank You, cheers 🤘🥃

Great Video, 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much - very helpful video. Could you also make a video about adding synth?

The first part of the second Riff just sounds like the main riff in Blessed Be the Darkness by Behexen.. which is great^^

Finally you did it! Ive told you in the past to do such video. I dont know if you did it because of me but anyway congrats. Thats definetly gonna be helpful. I havent wach the video yet but defenetly Im going to see it

You make it look so easy.

Sablast, you can apply the effects to a folder and add the panned tracks to it. It uses fewer resources from the computer for playbacks and rendering. Great tutorial, thanks. Any plans for a tutorial about songwriting/riffs writing? D:

Thanks. Interesting and informative.

Great video! Cheers by Morthgor 🤟🇧🇪

Brilliant!!

"Always record bass after drums, that's the rule, even in black metal" ...and here I am recording bass before guitars :-P

Recording drums with 1 mic is pure Burzum style! :)🤘🤘🤘

Improved logo nicely done.

Hahaha when you started the vox I was cracking up! This song is about day trading lol!

New sub! Nice work man!

Thanks. I have Cubase and FL Studio and can't figure out either one unfortunately . So I ordered a trusty ol Tascam so I can do something while I figure out this other crap. Anything to limit my use of the computer as much as possible. Your video is very helpful and encouraging though.

Thankssss

Very interesting, love your music and it's very cool to see the similarities and differences between your techniques and mine. A lot of what I do is very very similar; but one big difference that stood out to me was the DI box. I usually record everything straight into the interface. How would you say using a DI box compares to not using one? I struggle to see how adding something else between the guitar and interface can make the signal clearer, but I'm probably missing something. Would you recommend I get one, and if so, which one?

Great video and topic. Can you talk more about how you mix black metal?

Good notes thanks

Love it great musician

Great Video. Thanks. Now I Just have to buy a bass...a drum....nnheee... I'll do it in the daw... for now... Thanks again. It was very helpfull . Obrigado!!! AAAAHHHHRR

It would be amazing If you could show us how to mix black metal in reaper more thorougly :)

Thanks for the video, great stuff! Please check out Upon Earth - World Funeral EP Raw black metal from the Netherlands

Cool video, I am trying to record guitars, but there is too much noise getting out. Gate is no enough.

what mic you use for recording the drums?

If I set up a cheap vox amp with a distortion pedal would the mic placement be good if I took the mic to the bottom of the atlantic ocean and put a pillow over it? I also was planning on putting my vocal mic on the other side of the planet too. Please let me know if this is a good technique. 😊

Reaper gang!

Glad I came across your channel. I tend to make drum beats then the guitar riffs, then the vocals at the end. Similar to what your doing now. I also use reaper which I prefer over cubase and studio one. Great vid & sub’d

I thought I was the only one to write metal on acoustic guitar. But not always, just half the time or so.

Why did you record drums with just 1 mic? Was it on purpose to make it sound lofi and trve kvlt?

Tutorial for 1 man "bestial bm" (black death fusion) ?

Hey, were the drums programmed on Hate Sometimes demo? Which plugin is that? Or are those the real drums? Thanks!

Here’s some advice, if you have the money 💰, get an electronic drum set, and why? You can plug it straight into the audio interface and have different drum sounds.

Thanks mate 🤝 This really helpful 👍 I'm about to finish my acoustic "one man metal metal project ". What's your opinion on acoustic metal?

What would you guys recommend for recording for first time on my own?? What would I need??

What was that other box? Not the audio interface but the black one you plugged the guitar into?

hey zimorog,,how are you?can i ask you something what D.I do you use next to the interface and what mic is it that you use to record drums?

"to all my friends in norway, yo"

Sablast i have a question for you, i was recording guitar in reaper, i have 3 guitars and drums recorded for now, but when i play them all together i heard that noise like when you put phone near the speakers so you hear that irritating sound, but when i play them and turn off one guitar than i donr hear the noise anymore, its not loud nor something, you dont hear it that much but its irritating, how do i repair that?

Followed the tutorial and realised I play at Drop A#. Guess I'm not kult enough 😔

one question, dont you use your 2 different guitars to record? is the same guitar on both tracks? (i mean L and R tracks)

You have to start selling albumes

Microwave, blast beats, dissonant chords, grim vocals

Sorry bro but im going to download your before big studios take it down Its too usefull

👏🤘👏🤘👏🤘👏🤘👏🤘👏👍👏👍

How do I promote my bm project...?

di box for black metal noo we need dirt hahaha

Like #666 \m/ Pozdrav iz Beograda ;)

I had the same acoustic. It sucks ass, doesn't it? lol.

Moin from switzerland...a Video about mixing and Mastering maybe with free Plugins would be awesome...anyway one of my Favorite channels...Love your work...go on bro

Somebody wants to start a band ???

i dont have big bucks to spend on this so nvm lol
