[@USNTWRK]

First demo was wildfire. Dude has had that riff for two years already.

[@smoreshaunted]

What most people don't realize is that a guitar tone also has to be accompanied by a great bass tone. You can get away with dual or quad tracking fairly gravelly sounding guitars and as long as the bass tone is there, you're making some good pancakes. Great tutorial Mish

[@NeZversSounds]

I noticed that after upgrading video card guitars and bass guitars with passive pickups got noisy.

[@tobins6800]

I had to either face away or completely directly towards one of my computers.

[@smoreshaunted]

What??? That's crazy!! Best of luck dude!

[@smoreshaunted]

@@tobins6800 I said computer, but it can also be facing the audio interface that's causing noise from amp and cab sim software. For me it's definitely my computer making the noise but glad to hear what works for YOU!

[@tobins6800]

@@smoreshaunted Yeah, it was a combo of bad guitar/bass grounding and an ugly computer, I have since gotten a new bass and different guitar pickups, also the ugly computer finally gave up the ghost

Bruh track the bass duplicate the same track twice have a high pass on one and a low pass on the other so basically have 3 track divided in to a low (sub) mid high and you can throw a distortion or guitar amp on the high track and you can kinda control the lows mid and high separate and mix it together thats what i do and it sounds pretty good...also parallel comp

[@metalgear8000]

@@joeyg1463 Yes, thats Bassicaly the basics of it but there are so many ways to 'flavor' the sound. And somehow I never get it to sound heavy low and tight at the same time. I tried many tuts on youtube but not even one I found sounds like this.

[@GamePlayMetal]

@@metalgear8000 The key to Nolly's bass tone is to start with a great sounding bass DI. If you have a cheap bass that sounds like crap, you won't be able to sound like he does

Here after the teaser for the new song. I recognized it from somewhere

[@LucaLazzari]

Thanks for the free lesson misha, appreciate it as always. Still wandering why your mixes slaps so hard even through the phone speakers. I still suck at mixing and you play way tighter than me, maybe the answer is there. Or maybe not, who knows

[@heret1c385]

The "who knows" is the worst about that mixing stuff. There could be a million things we are doing wrong, and only time will tell.

[@LucaLazzari]

@@heret1c385 I was kinda joking, actually if you learn enough you get to the point where you can identify the areas that causes problems and start to work with them. A huge thing for me is that, compared to him for example, my source tones are worse (worse player, not enough djent, not a great environment with A LOT of noise, low budget interface) and that is tough for a beginner, cause then your mixing skill, which are still immature, needs to compensate a source that needs way more tweaking to sit properly where it needs to be. But still, who knows

@@heret1c385 This is the thing currently tripping me out big time with mixing, my mixes sound so bland and I don't even understand what's wrong or what to do. Feels like I'm searching in the dark with a blindfold on :(

[@lankysnowchimp730]

Love these tutorials, always informative and helpful. A breakdown of how you personally visualise/navigate the fretboard as a not-so-theory guy would be awesome, I realise this isn't specifically GGD related but would be cool.

[@fondfarewell2]

I love the low gain plus sweet chords sound, been recording in that way as well rather than just totally clean. makes the strings ring together very nicely.

[@sambrashear3637]

@GetGood Drums..Misha you should share those patches you used in this.

[@RIdeWerksInc]

I hope that is on the next album. what a sweet tone and groove

[@DrLangly]

Hi, let’s talk about gain with this little something I slapped together that sounds better than anything. The production sounds better than any record I’ve listened to lately. The drums, invasion, Misha just always has the best sounding drums. Period. This is definitely wetting my whistle to buy Invasion.

[@Nikkohh]

Love to know what was used for the bass here!

[@jerod256]

"a little bit of grit goes a long way" - couldn't agree more. I love the sound of a clean amp on the edge of breakup, it feels more alive. Also, an amp that's pushed that hard is compressing the signal slightly making the loudness of the playing more consistent. That can be a crutch, but it makes it WAY easier for it to sit in the mix.

[@MannyMo_]

I hope they change the cleans to pure Djent. I hope wildfire doesn’t have cleans tbh

[@William_Earl]

Hey, Misha! How do you deal with that hum? Do you just eq it out or use a noise gate after tracking?

[@RitoruBorazaOfficial]

What was the bass tone? Thanks for the tip Misha.

[@anomalyLG]

Super informative. I've been afraid of too much gain while recording but I feel like these amp modelers can really help you dial things in to the most minuscule detail. It's possible to still retain clarity while achieving that saturated sound with the blooming effect for palm muting.

Are you printing the different presets on the same track? Is this the standard workflow or just a means of demonstrating gain methods. I would imagine this method is hard to reamp.

Hey Misha. Brilliant video. Always insightful and interesting to hear you break down your approach. Just wondering have you done or if not could you do and video on your rhythmic approach to songs, specifically how you create asymmetric/cross barre line kind of stuff that's so much a part of your sound? Is that even possible as a video like this? Thought I'd ask.

that first riff though

[@HeavyDude3000]

So do you change the guitar sound of that one guitartrack within the same song? I mean, sure if there is a clean part you track a different guitar than the heavy one. But shouldn't be the main guitarsound stay the same throughout the song? I'm learning and trying to figure out if this is a common thing to do.

[@vergeofwill]

It makes the song more versatile in sound. Just adds more and sometimes more is good! But sometimes it can be bad. In this case it's actually badass.

[@tightsoundrecords2981]

Just setup right input on the master bus compressor. That's it...

yeah dude don't worry about it, it takes a long time for gear to actually stop you from sounding better

Most of the tone from the hardware is with that 5-way switch that allows for the 'Petrucci style' coil splitting.
