This mix sounds huge asf, and this is the part that i can't get in my own mixes. I watched the entire video and still didn't quite understood what you did to make that huge, so i would happily watch a part 2 if you would make it! Oh, and also i am very interested in the drum mixing. It has this tight modern metal sound( kinda like in SLAVIC METAL 2) So yeah, good video, mate! I'm subscribing and waiting for more uploads. Love from Russia!

[@heimdall3921]

trick is definitly on drums

[@bioburden]

Odeholm drums

[@timo1672]

[@codexstudios]

Loved the mix on this one, glad I can get this peek into the process

[@echoesandnoise]

Awesome!!!

[@SolemnTones]

Incredible work!

[@paulpinos1676]

Excellent work! Really liked the choir and piano section.

[@EightPenguins]

always a pleasure to watch & learn from your vids mo 🖤

[@Mattrocity1337]

A1 mix man you nailed it! are the drums the same as your tutorial or did you use mjolnir drums from solemn tones too?

[@Revon.tv8]

Amazing mix .. it would be great if you could teach us how you get the track so wide and huge ? Would love to see full mixing tutorial from start to finished. Subscribe. Thankyou

[@sweetangel0deth845]

Hello MO, good work man ^-^

[@yllikkiyy]

Great work my friend! 🔥

[@oleskiyashko2901]

Where is new video!?

[@michaelmoneytv]

I didn't know symphonic destruction coukd be used in that way was pretty cool to see 😎👌

[@maastr1088]

Great video, any more coming down the line?

[@R-SXX]

I always thought he mixes and produces himself, really interesting stuff

[@VMODofficial]

Sounds amazing! What LUFS are you hitting on your finished master?

[@MOMetalProductions]

Thanks man! I'm not aiming for any particular number bit I think short term it's peaking at around -4

[@joefarrar3917]

Very cool video!! Shout out to kilohearts plug ins, I use the trance gate and tape stop all the time for all sorts of genres!!

[@GrootGuitar]

You're the man, Mo. 👏🦖

[@primateproduccionescr]

thank you for this !

[@matthew83901]

Premo content

[@Igor_Sladkiy]

🔥🔥🔥

[@tfwnoyandere]

making me pleased that i went with upgrading from odin 2 rather than switching to another vst guitar lol

[@DeezChords]

nice!

[@Baneowo]

from which IR pack is that? id love to get it

[@dahlia2790]

Great ~!!! Mo~~

[@Zareh_Abrahamian]

It is kind of surprising Nik has used a guitar library given the fact that he is a quite capable guitar player. Programming these would take longer than playing them, however once you are done entering the notes there would be no need for editing timing and pitch issues.

[@JakobStrand]

You don't have to completely replace your guitar playing with VSTs, you can use them to complement your productions instead. Works perfectly!

[@Zareh_Abrahamian]

@@JakobStrand I am not sure but I think this might be Mattias pulling our legs: this may be an episode in his "Insert Band Name but it's 100% fake" series of his videos 😈

[@polarnightaudio]

The whole point of the song is that it's all vst instruments, hence the song title "Fake"

[@MOMetalProductions]

It was a track made in collaboration between Nik and Solemn Tones, where he wrote a song using their instruments.

[@Zareh_Abrahamian]

@@MOMetalProductions Thanks for the info Mattias. Your videos are very helpful BTW.

[@JosebasOficial]

Hello MO, I have a question that nobody is answering me, Im having trouble with the tremolo picked key switch, It seems is not working for me, Have you experienced this before?:(

[@codexstudios]

I've emailed Solemn Tones, and they said it's bugged. It's not supposed to play a looping sample of tremolo playing like Hydra, but to use in order to better program tremolos yourself. They said it would be in 3.1 update, but later in a youtube comment mentioned that it would be in 3.2 instead. They'll put out a tremolo programming tutorial when it's fixed. For now, you just gotta kind of fiddle with fast notes and velocities until it sounds right.

[@Женя-ж5л8ф]

Nice mix dude! Do you provide any production/mixing/mastering lessons in 1 on 1 format?

[@MOMetalProductions]

Not currently unfortunately, maybe in the future!

[@Женя-ж5л8ф]

@@MOMetalProductions looking forward for it

[@mattelder4269]

GGD drums?

[@DegenDevSOL]

Great Video! Do you know any free/cheap alternatives for the FG Grey/Red Comp?

[@codexstudios]

FG red is a VCA compressor, so you can use the VCA setting on Analog Obsession's COMPER plugin. I'd recommend all the Analog Obsession stuff, it's completely free. They have emulations of almost all the famous compressors and eqs.

[@DegenDevSOL]

@@codexstudios Thanks!

[@m3lanchol1a60]

bro how do people even record such clean DIs? I own a 8 string strandberg and it always sounds like shit no matter what neural DSP plugin I use :( what’s the matter? :( perhaps you could record a guide on DIs some time?…

[@codexstudios]

One of the biggest recommendations I see is to get a DI box instead of plugging into your interface. Should clean it right up. Glenn Fricker has a video on the subject.

[@unhingedvetband_AU]

I’m surprised he used a guitar sim. Thought he’d be a player. Wonder if it’s been this way the whole time

[@Zareh_Abrahamian]

I was also kind of surprised, given the fact he used to learn and post cover videos of quite complicated songs in less than 24 hours back in the day.

[@Zareh_Abrahamian]

Thinking about it, this might be one in Mattias' "Insert Band Name but it's 100% fake" series of his videos ❓

[@MOMetalProductions]

It was a collaboration between Nik and Solemn Tones where he wrote a track using their instruments.

[@AleexSolanoo]

What drums plugin was used?

[@MOMetalProductions]

A variety of GGD stuff 🙂

[@Paulus1095]

@@MOMetalProductions But Nik used Mjölnir Drums in the Vid? I thought he used it because it was a collaboration between him and Solemn Tones.

[@trewormshepherd]

What about the drums 🥲

[@4044-l2t]

BFG means big fxxking gun?🤣

[@jdwdrums]

What bass did you use for this track?

[@WillihamG]

nolly bass library

[@MOMetalProductions]

Yeah, Nolly Bass for the stereo effect, but it's Sanguine Bass by Solemn Tones for the main bass tone.

[@jdwdrums]

@@MOMetalProductions sick. thank

[@AlexSaheli]

I loved the song wasa even thinking of recreating it, but got 6 projects + stuff

[@KeinBierVorVierAlter]

it sounds really heavy! i must admit i never liked nik's cheap drums he uses across all his songs.

[@dethvvitch4697]

You produced a clickbait pleeb? Welcome to KZbin.

[@feduwtc]

??

[@ALLforROME]

Nik who???

[@2UnderstandDivinely]

Gr8 song M8! Appreciate the track insight!

[@jerryfick8547]

No vox?

[@MOMetalProductions]

No, but Bruno Longfield did an unofficial vocal version, check that out it's amazing 🙂
