CHAINSAW as an INSTRUMENT! | Creating DOOM Guitar Tones with a Chainsaw

[@mertcanozbek1975]

Next genre of metal doesn't even require guitars. Just bass it out.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

Spasm from the Czech Republic have already taken a big step in that direction

[@maestrozero117]

Or Gibsons dropped and fed through bass pedals lmao

I loved it, this program can allow me to mix anything and make unique sounds, I really wish future composers for video games uses this program.

[@RR-vp7zr]

What is he using for making music and the plug-in?

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

@@RR-vp7zr Watch the video and you'll find out.

[@RR-vp7zr]

@@LordofDiamondsMetal thank you!

[@averyatnip3748]

I appreciated your chainsaw safety. Starting it in the ground is the arborist approved method! I’m only half way through the video and I love this!

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

my dad taught me to start chainsaws that way when I was 11. we heated our house with wood and collected a lot of it throughout the year

[@advictoriams]

I'm trying to put the actual DOOM chainsaw into my piano roll as a vst

[@timswanson8980]

I believe Reaper has a morphing plugin that comes with it for free that basically performs the same function.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

Hmm, that's cool... I wonder what it sounds like in comparison to this

[@bjornlakenstrazen2186]

what is it called?

[@timswanson8980]

@@bjornlakenstrazen2186 In Reaper it's called State Variable Morphing Filter. It comes with Reaper by default as one of it's stock plugins.

[@satouanimation]

Yep I have done that before but no one made tutorial of it thanks for making tutorial man :)

[@K_I_A_R_T422]

Hellwalker or is it flesh n metal

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

Hellwalker was the song that used this technique most prominently. Flesh and Metal used a different technique where the guitars were recorded at double speed an octave up, then slowed down to half speed

[@Michaelmyerzofficial]

Using a chainsaw as a guitar is possibly the most metal thing to ever exist

[@ShwappaJ]

Bro your voice sounds like Stan from American Dad 🤣 Seriously though, this was amazing. Next thing you know, someone's gonna start using weed eaters or Ferrari V12s.

[@badra9190]

Great job and wery great idea. What else bro ,thumbs up.✌🎸

[@danieldavidson5447]

Awesome video! Will definitely going to be trying this out

[@Itowle9]

No one is going to acknowledge the dragonfly in the room...

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

I thought that was a figure of speech, but then I rewatched the video and there actually is some kind of large insect buzzing around the room

[@Itowle9]

@@LordofDiamondsMetal homie doesn't even look at it. Must be his pet.

[@kevdrag]

13:37 I'm on headphones and I actually thought they broke and speakers started sounding when I hit this part 😳🤯 What is this mic and sound quality? Is it possible to learn this power?

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

your time stamp is right at where my outro begins so I don't know what you're talking about

[@kevdrag]

@@LordofDiamondsMetal haha yeah. It's nothing bad, on the contrary, the sound is so... Clean? I don't know if that would be the right adjective, that with the headphones on, I couldn't realize I was still using them. I genuinely though the sound was coming from my desk speakers (I have a 2.1 Logitech speakers and a X15 Pro Onikuma Headset)

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

@@kevdrag what part of the video has the sound you are talking about? I want to help you out but the time stamp in your comment does not point to a point in the video where there is guitar tone

[@kevdrag]

@@LordofDiamondsMetal is not the guitar tone, my brother in Christ 😂 it's the transition between the end of the explanation and the outro that made me feel what I just explained.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

@@kevdrag ohhh, sorry, that's just me switching from a voiceover recorded with an sm58 to a phone recording

[@alyctro8158]

would you be able to share those chainsaw and lawnmower samples?

[@ПугливыйВадим]

Wow

[@SlyHikari03]

6:51 there it is.

[@Marshall-Argentmetal]

All in get is both sounds playing together not actually morphing

[@nathanstachowiak7544]

What song is the riff at 12:11 from? I've heard it while playing the game, but could never pin down which song on the OST it is.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

It's not from any song, I came up with it myself

[@nathanstachowiak7544]

@@LordofDiamondsMetal Dude, that's CRAZY. I could have sworn I'd heard it before. Even so, that's mad impressive that you were able to write something that sounds right out of the DOOM Eternal soundtrack.

[@nathanstachowiak7544]

@@LordofDiamondsMetal Idk if it's a full song you wrote, or just a riff, but I'd love to hear the full thing (with and without the chainsaw effect would be even better). It would be a good exercise for people getting into audio engineering at home-- take your own chainsaw or engine sound sample, and see if you can reproduce the effect on your non-chainsaw track.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

@@nathanstachowiak7544 Mmm... I don't think it sounds that similar, aside from the superficial low tuning. it's not as percussive as modern Doom riffs are and has more notes in it. but I'm glad you liked it anyway

[@jackslayers]

When U need a swedish chainsaw tone you'll need a swedish chainsaw(Husqvarna)....

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

fuck, I just realized that the chainsaw I recorded was an actual Swedish chainsaw... a Husqvarna...

[@jackslayers]

@@LordofDiamondsMetalhahahhaa I thought you use Husqvarna on purpose....

[@rocketfuel996]

How did you route the output of the chainsaw group track to the basses group track? I cant route the output of a group to another group in any capacity.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

I'm not sure what software you use, but in Live, it's as simple as putting Morph on the bass track and setting the chainsaw track's output to go to "Morph Input" or something rather than the master track

[@rocketfuel996]

​@@LordofDiamondsMetal I am using ableton, and i did figure out i wasnt using the "SC" version of the plugin that would allow me to side chain it. i was wondering, Did you put some kind of gate on the chainsaw group? the chainsaw sound is constant for me.

is that what we're calling it now?

@@LordofDiamondsMetal Makes sense with the context of the game :/

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

I've always called it industrial or djent depending on the balance of electronics and guitars

Boss hm-2, the Swedish chainsaw?

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

I have one. But this is a different kind of chainsaw

[@chilleagle.illegal]

@@LordofDiamondsMetal Have you tried stacking it with big muff and reverb, death-doom sound, pretty sick imo
