How To Get MASSIVE Deathcore Breakdowns Using Layering

[@hundredarrows]

Awesome and very informative video, love your channel 🤘

[@Deguoren96]

Thanks for your content videos. I usually watch a lot of URM Academy Videos but you have the ability to explain things in a simple way and your style of production is exactly what im looking for. It seems that you took inspiration from Nolly with his Masterbus compression and tape saturation but your Mixing videos are much more easy to comprehend. Your Bassmint short video made my mix instantly better. I tend to Pair it with Gullfoss on some Buses to get an even cleaner sound

[@flipsrecords168]

I need more deep lesson from you mo ❤

[@Decorus2009]

Awesome. That sounds huge and massive yet still clear and readable! Bro, have you considered sharing cubase projects on patreon along with stems and midi? I'd definitelly pay for that whatever the cost. The main purpose is get the understanding of the routing, etc. All other settings we could accurately replicate from the video. For example, shared cubase project would be extremely helpful for your apocalyptic drums tutorial :)

[@MOMetalProductions]

Playing with the idea of doing a video course for sale some day 🙂

[@Decorus2009]

@@MOMetalProductions I'd definitely pay for that. And I think I'm not alone :)

[@paulpinos1676]

Yay, new video!

[@ILoveCatsALot-z6n]

Hey mo, absolutely LOVE the videos. In multiple videos, you show that you blend different snares/kicks from a collection of the GGD series (and others). I would love to know HOW you blend these. Are you triggering Kontakt multiple sessions of kontakt to the same midi? How did you route/program that? A video showing how you actually program, route, and blend the drum samples from each kit would be awesome. Thank you for anothr amazing video!!! You're the best!!!

[@MOMetalProductions]

Thanks man! 😄 I have them stacked in one instance of Kontakt so they are triggered by the same MIDI. You need to set the MIDI channel to the same one on all instances for that to work and make sure the mapping is the same for all libraries

[@ILoveCatsALot-z6n]

@@MOMetalProductions ahhh that's really cool! I use custom mapping from templates made by people online (I'm a reaper user), so I'll look into it and see how I can make that work. Thanks again so much!!! 🤘

[@Blackriff99]

As another person said, I’d love to see some mix walkthroughs for a more minimal approach. One GGD library, one bass VST, one amp sim, etc. for those of us with less funds more several libraries to mix and layer

[@MOMetalProductions]

Thanks man, I will keep it in mind. If you have a library with several snares you could also layer the snares from one library and try how it sounds. Just tweak the different pitch controls to match the pitch of the different snares 🙂

[@PetriJuuhansson-wh4zp]

You can get so much awesome plugins for free that you dont have to pay anything. I got over hundred free plugins and i cant even think anything more that i would need..

[@GrootGuitar]

Gahd damn, Mo. This sounds bonkers. 👏🦖

[@MOMetalProductions]

Thanks man 🤘

[@yonatron5684]

You’re incredible!

[@ericrogermusic3637]

Sounds awesome! Tons of processing, but I think that's what you're going for. My biggest question is, how is the band supposed to recreate this sound live? Do you make backing tracks for them, too?

[@MOMetalProductions]

Yes, I do 🙂 generally then the drums, live bass and guitars are live and the rest would be backing.

[@healwix]

F*ck! Was done mixing my own deathcore song literally 30 minutes before you released this video hahah. My breakdown would be so much heavier, great video BTW!

[@PetriJuuhansson-wh4zp]

Just mix it again. No big deal.of you really want this so compressed sound that it aint even heavy any more. Only a pile of mess

[@healwix]

@@PetriJuuhansson-wh4zp Don’t you like this modern sound or what?

[@noahstrasmann1557]

I was wondering if you could make another drum mixing tutorial. You drums sound awesome but damn man I don’t have the funds for all those sample libraries!! I just am using P4

[@burneraccounthandle]

ahoy matey

[@codexstudios]

All I've got is P4 as well, and I second another mixing tutorial! Something you can try is opening multiple P4 libraries and layering the various drums in the library.

[@noahstrasmann1557]

@@codexstudios I have never actually dug into layering, but that is a great suggestion!

[@armando.pozzulo]

try to use one shots, of course they don't sound realistic as the vst/libraries but they help to make the drums more consistent. I have some libraries but my cpu can't handle when I open more than 3 different libraries + mix plugins so I use one shot as well

[@codexstudios]

Also, when you want a SUPER explosive snare, route the snare direct, overhead and room all to one channel when you process it. Compressing the room along with the direct Mic will get you a massive sound I can only describe as "acoustic dubstep snare". Multi outs are key!

[@CascadeEffect]

Killer content as always! If you wanted to get a more rounded low end as opposed to dirty e.g The Plague by Carcosa, would you use something like an 808 bass rather than a growler track?

[@MOMetalProductions]

There is not much distortion on the low end, I guess less scooped around 100-200hz 🙂

[@denitoch]

is that Gorilla preset part of an expansion? I can't find it

[@BelialAkuji]

Allt tshirt ❤

[@ИльяБойко-е9э]

Your mixes are huuuuuuuuuge! Awesome tips, as always, thank you! How about interesting challange on mixing only with cubase stock plugins? Is it possible?

[@immersionHEHE]

If you had access to all the samples it would be possible, however it obviously wouldn't be as crisp as this

[@ИльяБойко-е9э]

@@immersionHEHE I didn't mean those particular kontakt libraries. Just a challenge for a channel content.

[@erkaevvv]

Insane bass layering. Can't understand how to make such desitions in my mix, like how to decide that I need one of these heavy processed layers and which one... Just can't get my head around it

[@Matthillguitar]

Try making what like Sleep Serpent

[@Descendants_Ov_1984]

Do I can use all this tricks during whole song?

[@rizkimulyadi40]

My cpu cant handle this tutorial. So maannyy plugiins😅

[@CascadeEffect]

Seconded haha

[@Stanko-lh8bn]

Too real brotha

[@ianvaldes3073]

Uhhhh okay so I didn't know you could have multiple drum kits in one kontakt instance. I'm trying it out now and for some reason not all of the hits play on both kits at the same time. It's quite strange

[@MOMetalProductions]

You need to set up that each drum kit is processed by the same MIDI signal. I think by standard it's different MIDI inputs but you can manually set it up to be the same for all

[@mmmmmmgoood5023]

So MIDI drums and bass?? Sounds great.. but at what point is just having an audio engineer make your tune for you cross the line??

[@JacobraRecords]

ur crazy

[@mileshurst9823]

although it sounds amazing, my worry is bands produced like this cannot replicate it live

[@MOMetalProductions]

My viewpoint is this: I don't think the live show needs to sound like the album. If so the live show is just the album version with worse audio quality. A great live show in my opinion is bringing a lot of energy, especially for this style of music where hearing what's going on in great detail live is out the window. It's all about the heaviness, energy and experience live, not about recreating the album. It's two different experiences 🙂

[@Descendants_Ov_1984]

Sounds sexy

[@AltarexLuurkesien]

And then they have to play this live and it sounds like fake shit .... lul

[@disc3ts]

and that's it folks, an overproduced & overmixed track

[@audijoseph2371]

That will always sound better than anything you can mix 😭
