I'm probably in a minority, but I'm way more interested in this type of video than endless gear demos. It's something anyone can learn and apply with stuff they already have and use rather than just demos of so much stuff there's no way anyone could even use all of it even if they somehow managed to obtain and keep it all.

[@jazzmasterbator]

100% agree. Maybe I’m biased bc I’m about to begin recording and mixing demos for my deathcore project but I would love to see more mixing + mixing plugin videos

[@Metal-lz8td]

@@jazzmasterbator Song and riff writing are other topics there aren't enough of out there for metal

[@RaVirrTheTrader]

Sorry downstairs neighbors. Danley's uploaded again, and these speakers gotta be cranked.

[@BrandonSills]

definitely some insightful information out of this video in terms of how you do things. hella solid. interested to see how the approach be done with other guitar tones surrounding death metal.

[@Betongtempel777]

This is great, bought this NAM-pack a few days after release! Love it and that it does something a bit more dirty than all the endless NDSP's. Great tutorial!

[@torchbearer3784]

Where can I find the pack? Downloadet NAM today thanks to this video so I am kind of noob right now😂

BRO I NEED THAT LEFFE PRESET IN MY LIFE!!!

Great vid Taylor! Continue your good work!

Great video. On my way to go download this now.

[@CrushingAxes]

Cool man, NAM is great!!! That's very cool!

[@Durkhead]

Those clean tones might sound good blended in with the distortion track

[@21stcenturymetal31]

The ssl eq is my all time favorite. I use the P.A. version gives it “that sound”. Great video

[@Frank_Kreepy]

Go for it, more of this 🤘

[@bradchervel5202]

Glad to see you back, looks like that cold took a bit of weight out of you.

[@MetalPredo]

I also think that a good option for killer death metal tones is to make a blend between a tight, "modern" tone and a swedish death metal hm2 tone, you can use the plugins in parallel so you don't have to use 2 tracks for each guitar recording (or you can use 2 tracks for each tone and for each side and do the quad track recording)

[@burtosu86guitar]

Dude, i make some sick as s s tones usong amplitube5, tonex and vh4 from pa but when i put them in the mix 😮😮😮. Tks for the info 🤘🤘🤘

[@CodyBarnette-GNARK]

Death metal is one of those genres when mixing you want it to be a muddy, yet clear as you can. At least for that old school sound. Very thick and scooped

[@adamestandian5289]

Great tutorial. Sick riff reminds me of Dying Fetus Homicidal Retribution.

[@smeemusic]

Nam has been a mix saver in my house yo!

[@j.csamson1512]

I think the metal mix is on point

[@Redraptor6214]

Taylor you should check out the boss katana go it seems right up the alley of stuff you do little amp modelers

[@DeathcoreDude]

Question. I can put songs together with drums and guitars etc. But I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to EQing, can i had the same EQ settings you use for your guitars and just apply it to all my songs? Sort of like a go to preset.

[@TaylorDanley]

There's too many variables to just copy/paste. While you could use it as a starting point and go from there, what works well for my guitar tone might be terrible for yours. The only way to get better at it is to just get in those reps!

[@nebulousdrifter]

When you are mixing guitars and want to have a harmony part do you tend to just have them hard panned on a single guitar double tracked? Or would you treat it like 2 guitars, each double tracked and hard panned? I know a lot of people would say it's a matter of preference, but I'm interested in how you would approach it in your mixes! (Also, do you check in mono for phase issues mixing like this?)

[@TaylorDanley]

Checking mono for phase issues is a good practice for sure. I always do 2 guitars hard panned left and right... Quad tracking is very cool, but very time intensive, and you need to make sure that those takes are super tight or else it sort of makes the whole thing fall apart.

[@needsLITHIUM]

Maybe it's me, but I feel like having one of the guitars be the one you chose, and the other be one of the HM-2 blend style tones, would have been fun. I've always been more of a "different tones for the left and right" kinda guy. I usually like to blend different tones for the left and right, where I'll have 3 different tones, one that is used for both the left and the right, and then one different tone for each side. These days, at least one of those tones tends to be chainsaw, or some kind of distortion pedal or pedal combination, just something that will make the sound super dense and a bit more unique.

[@stevewills735]

DAT RIFF! Damn!!

[@bluntforc3studios198]

Just wondering Taylor , I usually double track each guitar , what do u do / recommend ?

[@TaylorDanley]

You can do that, it works well… as long as you can play the parts tight enough. If not, it will have the opposite of the intended effect

[@bluntforc3studios198]

@@TaylorDanley thanks mate , what do you do just one track for rhy and one for lead GTr ??

I Always double track rhythm guitars.. edit it and make every wave in sync

What reaper theme do you use?

[@TaylorDanley]

It’s a pro tools theme, not sure exactly which

[@mhv1231]

I want to learn how you set up your reaper interface to look like that!!

[@TaylorDanley]

It's a theme, if you look at the official reaper themes and search "pro tools" you'll be able to find it.

[@alex_gfy]

Haven’t clicked a link faster than this one

[@mikeham3123]

Turn the gain all the way up. More gain = more metal. Take the mids completely out of the equation. Turn the bass all the way up. Bingo, metal.

[@wmxx2000]

8:26 Ooooooh that sounds nasty

[@DavidAllenMD]

do u mix bands too?

[@TaylorDanley]

Sometimes, just depends on the project and what I have going on

[@zakklee2556]

Tutorial request: Reaper, how to add midi track.

[@TaylorDanley]

I'm not sure what you mean, every track in reaper is technically a midi track since reaper doesn't differentiate between audio and midi tracks. Any midi file you have you can drag and drop. More information please~!

[@zakklee2556]

@TaylorDanley I will try that. thank you. otherwise I am attempting to control helix presets/ snapshots, so I do not have a midi file to drag into track.

[@TaylorDanley]

@@zakklee2556 Oh, then you have to use the piano roll to program your patch changes. It's tedious. I don't do it with the helix, but I have done it with the Axefx. To add a midi region, you hold command (idk windows, probably ctrl) and you should get a pencil, then you just draw in where you want the region to go.

[@zakklee2556]

@@TaylorDanley thank you. I will try that.

[@pelennorDSP]

The other way you can add a new midi item is whilst having a time range selection up the top, and a track selected, go to the Insert menu then "New midi item"
