I made a DOOM Compressor for Ableton Live 10 + 11

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

Guess what? I co-created an actual "Doom Compressor" style VST 😎 If you are a producer, you're gonna love it 💻👀👉 nimble.itch.io/argent

[@moonshoesthecat7277]

hey question, 1. did you mean to put a $40 price tag on the latest version of this software you made?

[@derkerlmann67]

too bad its 40$

[@nomorebreakdowns]

Any chance for an AAX version? I'd drop 40$ in a heartbeat for that.

[@huy_pizda_skovoroda777]

bad, but not free

Tune in next week as we use nuclear chimneys as acoustic enhancement devices with the power of concentrated radioactive radium to fuel the amps and guitars..

[@hiiambarney4489]

@@nightlust dude actually not that bad idea, chimneys have a nice noise texture to them barely hearable but nuclear chimneys....

Just blink. You could have sworn this is part of the DOOM OST.

[@cheater00]

Agreed, this is true to the style

[@Sykelone]

THAT DEMO SONG WTF

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

Quick correction in this video: when I said "upwards expansion" I should have said "upwards compression" since the first term means turning up your loudest sounds even louder. The more you know!

[@ProfPuffOfficial]

Use the wayback indexing machine

[@ashergraves5626]

I absolutely adored your Hades meets Doom video. Really validating to know someone out there is as curious about recreating effects and plugins. Keep going man! Amazing stuff

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

Thank you!!

[@RedMeansRecording]

Awesome video

[@therealDJBoring]

It’s the style of Spiffing Brit

[@MrMitzu1]

Definitely not where I thought I'd see you pop up haha

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

Hey thanks! You have some pretty sweet vids too!

[@jinboi8813]

Yeah, we need to normalize this style of music and call it Mickcore or Doomcore.

[@jackgardner8726]

Pretty sure It’s called industrial glitch metal, someone correct me if I’m wrong

[@EEEdoman]

@@jackgardner8726 That's what Mick called it one time when he was said what he'd call if he was forced to. If you actually look up tracks with those terms then what plays sounds nothing like the Doom OSTs, so I honestly think Doomcore would be better (also sounds way sicker).

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

I prefer Slayerpop

[@loovlehcuppatea2830]

Dude the demo song sounds amazing, it sounds like the perfect song for the second part of the doom eternal DLC

[@SiliconPrairie]

7:13 Mick did a GDC talk where he said he used (I believe) Zynaptiq Morph. He used the VST to cross-morph between the original chainsaw sound and the guitar he was using.

[@BoomKitty]

This is awesome! Would love a video on your amp / processing setup to get that sick guitar tone.

[@PinaCoco]

"I want to be a game music composer and professional audio engineer... but I have a lot of work to do." Mate you're already there and you're going to be huge

[@andrewmarkrossmann]

Brother, you are an absolute legend. I can't believe you only have 100k subs after the amount of sheer testosterone and quality content you put into your art. The music you make has helped me get through some tough times. Subbed today, been a listener for a while now. I hope you keep it up, because I am genuinely excited for any new song by you! Also, super glad your music is getting over to Spotify!!! Beautiful work. Mick Gordon if you're reading this, I love you too man. Absolute legend to do what you do too! I hope the two of you collab one day at least for one song. That'd be a dream come true

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

Thank you for the kind words 😊 🙏

[@jacksonroulston4919]

Love the shout outs to all of the Dubstep / Bass Music producers who honed these processes in throughout their career as well.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

In the end we can all thank Meshuggah for the inspiration to this genre and sound. 😉 Great video and awesome track! 🌞

It’s crazy how people are still explaining OTT makes me happy to know that there are still people learning :)

[@cptmudcrabiii5511]

The more I discover music theory stuff, different types of genre- just things related to music, the more I want to take a real shot at this sorta stuff. Love your videos man, keep it up! Even if I know literally next to nothing about the technical side of things.

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

Thanks! You should jump into it! It’s a lot of fun

[@MysteryPancake]

This is great! For anyone interested, this can be recreated in FL Studio by using Maximus, selecting the "Simple 1 Band Limiter" preset, and dragging the green line until it's completely flat. This remaps all decibel levels to 0dB.

[@Crimzan4]

That was exactly my thought as I was watching this video, great to hear it confirmed working :)

[@TheAVJ2]

took me a sec ngl

[@arilotringer]

Damn, you sure were able to grasp the overall sound of Mick's soundtrack and style, really good man, kudos to you! That's a pretty cool use of compressors I wouldn't have thought of. I guess maybe stacking compressors like that is used more in electronic music and I have more experience mixing acoustic and rock so I guess they're pretty different worlds from what I can see. Very informative! I'll subscribe!

[@adrianrabe2099]

Always refreshing finding high quality KZbinrs :D

[@rayzo1534]

Holy CRAP!!!! That is so freaking awesome well done! When I watched mick gordon last year with that doom compressor i was like damn yeah I need that thing and so YOU ARE MY HERO THANK YOU!!!

[@quantumdeath2978]

The demo track is so cool! It just goes to show how much atmospheric elements can influence a song and make it stand out so much more.

[@davidbanach7982]

Your videos are very impressive. I love sound design and how sound/plugins and all that stuff works together and it’s been very surprising to learn how much went into the creation of how dooms sounds were created.

[@Aruk02]

Sounds like it came straight out of the DLC, awesome job!

[@inqmusician2]

There was one video by Woochia explaining how you can get the sine corruption like in DOOM 2016. Mick Gordon commented on that video and explained that DOOM compressor was pretty much useless for anything other than sound design. It was done with a basic math(time volume to 0, you get 0db). You can make a sample pack just with this alone.

[@LuxiusVT]
