I just started getting into recording myself, and this video was very informative for me. thank you so much

Thank you. I used to do a lot of vocal stacking, but honestly never really thought to much about adding distortion for a heavier sound. I guess I'm afraid I'd create mud, since I'm not really a mixing engineer.

thanks for this tut and thanks for the preset! GOOD LUCK with all that you do!

I started with an AX2, traded to an FM3 and now have the FM9. The only thing I noticed was the presets were more refined on the newer gear. You're right about the sound though. You can dial in a sound on the AX2 that will equal anything on the FM9. But the FM9 is a nice complete footswitch. Can't comment on the QuadC or Kemper because I've never used them, but they sound great when Kiko or Gilbert use them, so...I guess it really comes down to making money and feeding the kiddos.

I use a Headrush and don't even own an amp. If it's good enough for Tracii Guns its definitely good enough for me Metallica toured the world with the Axe FX 2, its just fine for us mere mortals even in 2024 and realisfically even in 2044 😅

Awesomee 👏🏻🤍🤍🇵🇸🇵🇸

so glad i found this, thank you!

Your method helped me a lot with my HX stomp tones. Thanks dude, now teach me to play guitar 😂

Sounds great! Tight playing, too

King🤘🏽💯🔥

finally!!! Thanks a lot brother!!

just got the axe2 brotha but im struggling to get it to sound like this any advice what to check for

I'm an atheist but I breathe music theory and I don't read music. Some people pick up theory and some don't 🤪

This is why theoretical knowledge mixed with using your ears to listen are both equally important. They feed each other if you do it right, and it can create awesome things :) It drives me bonkers when someone states the key of a song based on the first pitch or chord and I'm like...Y'ALL, NO...that's NOT how keys work! I've found you can absolutely get into the weeds in either direction...either too much theory and you overthink what your trying to create with it, or it's all ears and listening and you have no idea what's actually going on theoretically, so if you did create something great, you have no idea how you did it and you can't recreate it. Granted exact recreation isn't possible, so I guess a better term might be consistency. With both theory and good ears, you can both create and know what's going on, which leads to more consistent output.

4:02, a good analogy for this is like in chess, only the grandmasters should be creating new openings, anyone else in that scenario would do something wrong and mess up. Essentially, unless you're really good, you should follow the already good openings.

MixedInKey Studio. Tells you the key of whatever's being played into the DAW. You're welcome.

damn, that GoT reference 😀 I've never understood the sentiment that knowing music theory would somehow disrupt the creativity. And I can't wrap my head around how that rumor has spread all these years. You would never think that knowing the rules of a language would somehow limit your use of that language. But when it comes to music, it's somehow a badge of honor if you're "self-taught" or if you don't know any music theory. Having said that, I really have to brush up on my music theory 😀 ALSO, what would be the most important thing in music theory to learn, if I want to get some riffs? Kinda sick of people telling me that I have 0 riffs. 🤣

Free Palestine!!!!!!!!❤❤❤ By the way....amazing cover!!❤

Sensei is back

How do you write in cubase those notes like '1.rock beat' '2.rock beat variation' like you have every 2 bars basically

Thank you! 🎉

Mackelmore against the machine

i just cant pretend that count your blessings aged well, the screams and breakdowns are great but lyrics and production are trash so FOR ME bring me the horizon starts at there is a hell with post human nex gen being just as good if not better than sempiternal, idgaf what anybody says

The answer is no because they are not a metalcore band anymore since 2015

Cheers

who tf are you

A few people have commented that they don't think BMTH are metal. For those people I have the following question: What is metal to you and why does BMTH not fulfill that criteria in your opinion? For a genre that prides itself on being welcoming, I would love to hear an actual explanation for the gatekeeping here. Genuinely curious!

Bring Me haven't been metal since 2010. They're hard rock AT MOST and I hate how they effected the Metalcore genre back in the early 2010's.

Suicide season was their best album fight me.

Lol Bring me the chorizo is not even a metal band. They have never been a metal band. They just used to play the bland, annoying, generic and horrible thing known as deathcore.

BMTH are absolutely trend-setters. That means many times they are going to miss because they're putting out stuff that is new and risky, so some people won't like it. Nex Gen is an album that hits at exactly the right time: it's cutting edge, and dropped at exactly the right time to be influential.

Metal ain’t dieing you fools. Kids don’t give a shit.

metalcore/deathcore is very much on the rise with bands like Lorna Shore, Slaughter to Prevail. If the argument revolves against stagnation then it is really more of an audience issue. There is plenty of creative music out there, just refer to black metal and it's insane amount of sub-genres.

KZbin algorithm for some reason suddenly brought up a Mahmoud that deals with metalcore at 1 Am

BMTH and other modern rock bands is putting in an evolution for the genre to make it survive, but many metal head don't give a shit and be wondering why metal is dying

Unironically my favorite band. They make music that gets me so hyped up and sad at the same time and I love it.

so before i watch this i would just like to say that the only thing important to metal is the listeners. it dont matter what band does what, as long as there are people listening its always going to be here. i DO think BMTH and their unique style has brought a lot of new fans to explore the genre, but i do not think any band is important for metal's survival, just the listeners, whether or not they listen to old or new metal its 100% on the listeners.

I haven't considered BMTH metal in years. They're boring af radio rock now imo. Not hating on them, they're just too soft for my tastes now.

You're rigt about the hesitance of metal heads to broaden their horizons and wanting everything to sound like Maiden or Slayer. See the pushback again bands like Ghost (who I love) because 'masked satan man doesn't scream'. I grew up with Black Sabbath, Judas and Metallica and I still love bands like Sleep Token, Ghost and BMTH that break conventions.

Amazing brother ❤

The face of satisfaction at 17:54 made me happy

Very interesting to hear all this stuff. I personally never listened to BMTH actively. I knew couple of songs here and there (namely shadow moses for example) and I liked it very much, but never got hooked on their other albums and songs. Hearing what they've contributed to our favorite genre in all these years is very eye opening. But to answer the question, I don't think that any single band is important for the survival of the genre. For the evolution of metal, probably yes, especially after hearing all that stuff. But for the survival? I don't think so.

Richtig gut! 🔥

Top notch! Thank you!

More heavier!!!

Are there tabs available for the guitar part?

This is SOOOO UNBELIEVABLY INSIGHTFUL !!! I have been wondering why the hell you had 100 tracks ready at all times 😂 Now I get the picture! Thank you and I‘ll make sure to test your template out 😁👌

You are 100% right my friend. We are all victims of amazing marketing teams and videos and a plethora of software and hardware 😁 My most useless purchase might have to be a plugin called sausage fattener. I read about it, watched a few videos and thought man I think that‘s the thing that will finally make my mixes have some beef in them… Turns out, it was not 😂😂
