Assolutamente complimentoni per tutto, il pezzo spacca in tutto e per tutto! Un video in cui spieghi come l'hai missato sarebbe fantastico!!

[@gioros1000]

Quando a 11:30 hai interrotto il breakdown ho bestemmiato. Video molto utile Fede, grande! Almeno per quanto mi riguarda ho colto più di quel che hai detto 👌

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

haha una buona scusa per riascoltarsi la canzone!

[@lucazini2348]

Grande gio

[@Hardjaxl]

Not my fav type of music, but it sounds absolutely stunning. Noticed "featuring Lee McKinney of Born Of Osiris" so I googled it. Watched one random video, think it was pretty new. And the sound of Born Of Osiris and The Wind Covenant is like day and night. You are really good in your job Federico. Happy I found your channel.

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

Wow, thanks a lot man! I definitely put a lot of thought into this, so I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!

Awesome video and awesome song! Greetings from Spain🔥

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

thank you very much, cheers!

[@slowns]

Ciao Federico, gran bel lavoro complimenti! Se tu facessi un open mix sui plugin che hai usato sarebbe davvero una figata. Ad ogni modo, continua così, grande!

bro 💘

[@kamilsliw19941]

would love for you to provide STEMS of all the sections for us to reference!

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

I might prepare a producer pack with stems and tab as soon as I have some free time!

[@dirtyhappiness]

YOOOOOOO

[@giampaolomotta6675]

Favoloso! Bellissima armonizzazione vocale nei chorus e fantastici FX. Utilissima 4 traccia del basso che effettivamente fa uscire meglio anche le altre 3 e si incolla alla frequenza delle chitarre. Solo una cosa non mi convince : lo snare...ciao

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

grazie mille Giampaolo!

[@CoreyLTM]

Awesome video! Do you remember wich librzry you used for « arabian night » track ?

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

Thank you! I'm pretty sure that was one of the sounds included in Cubase's Halion

[@josephcox6693]

Watching this again. How did you setup the guitar tracks with the di? I can't figure it out.

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

Create a stereo input on your daw and set the left channel to record from your DI, the right channel to record from your Kemper signal. Create a stereo track, set the input to the stereo input you just created and that's it! DI will be recorded on the left channel and Kemper tone on the right. Then you just need a plugin that mutes the left channel, for example Waves s1 does that or you can use other imager plugins. This way you won't hear the DI but it's still going to be there to help you visually with editing and in case you want to reamp later on.

[@josephcox6693]

@@FedericoAscariAudio thank you! You're the man!

[@tommasocanazza8965]

Boia che libreria è quella del mesa sulle chitarre?!

[@MirkoFustinoni]

Potrebbe essere una domanda stupida, ma da utilizzatore part-time di Cubase non ho trovato soluzioni :'D Avendo le chitarre stereo in quel modo, come fai a "nascondere" la traccia DI per utilizzarle in fase di mix?

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

ciao Mirko, scusa il ritardo nella risposta! In Cubase c'è un plugin stock che si chiama "Mix6to2", con quello riesci a selezionare quale dei due canali della traccia viene inviato a quale dei due canali stereo output. Se ad esempio metti i 2 fader "L" alzati e entrambi i fader "R" abbassati, il lato Left si sentirà su entrambi i monitor e il lato R sarà in muto e viceversa
