Making a Deftones Type Shoegaze Beat in 12 Minutes

[@EndSchneider]

Please make this into a full song with vocals. I'm living this beat.

[@RichiiWainwright]

Gonna try to sell the beat and hopefully someone else can put some great vocals on it. Appreciate the support!

[@EndSchneider]

@Richii Wainwright awesome bro.

I think you nailed “Loathe” 😊😊 🔥 Nonetheless!!!

[@Kniiight.]

My thoughts exactly

[@NineInchFailz]

Loathe is carrying the torch after Deftones 😌 never ever can replace, but you can for real hear how heavily DT influenced them

[@zulu3594]

I actually really enjoyed watching your creative process. When you closed your eyes and just felt that voicing.

[@lava.christian]

god i love that chord progression

[@RichiiWainwright]

Thanks man. I'm kinda hooked on making 2 chord songs but using 2 super weird chords haha

[@acon2211]

13:15 that's when you realize how much Fleshwater did the same thing, which is looking for Deftones sound.

[@tomek_ksp]

damn this was really a masterclass of what i´ve been trying to do for the past couple months. Sounds amanzing man!

[@nuke97]

Outstanding, very well done. Left me wanting to hear more videos like this.

[@RichiiWainwright]

Appreciate it a lot! More coming for sure. What styles do you wanna hear?

[@irmaosmarcelino2635]

amazing job, loved it all 10:36 the upstroked were killing me tho

[@RichiiWainwright]

What’s wrong with upstrokes? 😆

[@miseryismine1372]

really good Video and awesome track. I really dig your sound. You can Clearly hear the influences but you still managed to get your own unique sound on top of that. Amazing, keep it up!

[@RichiiWainwright]

Appreciate that a lot! I always try to put my own spin on things even if I’m emulating another band’s sound! Thanks for watching 🤘

[@NineInchFailz]

Watching this process is so goddamn helpful. Thank you!

[@brianesquivel5458]

Wow that guitar is the most beautiful thing I ever saw

[@PolyrhythmMusicLLC]

Great job! Definitely hits the Deftones sound. I'd be down to work with you on something. Again, well done!

[@ulrichschroeder2173]

Really cool! Deftones fan here. 🙈 Would you mind sharing how you achieved the main distortion effect on the guitar? It almost sounds like a fuzz, though I'm not sure. Thanks!

[@michaelrodgers6559]

That effect guitar has some serious APC energy.

[@RichiiWainwright]

Someone finally fckin said it! 1000000% APC influenced, as are most of my guitar effects sounds haha

[@RichiiWainwright]

Appreciate it! I’m glad I can provide some inspiration by doing what I love 🤘

[@ignaciojauregui7423]

really creative, just need more impact or contrast in the mix I think, but musically this is amazing, would listen to something like this for sure

[@RichiiWainwright]

Appreciate it! What do you think it needs to add contrast/impact? Always looking to improve

[@ignaciojauregui7423]

​@@RichiiWainwrightChanging the guitar tone in different sections, or another eq settings, maybe some boost on the drums in the last part, to keep the sound evolving and interesting. Anyways music is subjetive and I dig your style. Cheers mate!

[@TheCrimsonGhost677]

i really want more tutorials like these, especially grunge. ty bro, you earned a sub

[@RichiiWainwright]

Appreciate it! Planning at least a couple of grunge ones for the next few weeks

[@themysteryfields4104]

Sounds great Richii. Would love a little more info on the fx used for your FX guitar part at 9:10 - that sound is awesome. You mention lots of chorus and distortion, but ive still not nailed it yet.

[@RichiiWainwright]

It’s a tough one to break down because there are quite a few elements to the sound. First of all before the amp it helps to apply some heavy compression, and after the amp some delay and reverb to drag the note out. Those two elements with the right balance will give that feel where it’s less like a guitar and almost like a synth pad. Other than that it’s just getting the right type of chorus and heavily saturated distortion. I can help more but hit my IG @exormusic. There’s too much to write here 😆

[@lukeygee123abc2]

@@RichiiWainwright It'd be amazing if you could do a tutorial going through the settings on each plugin and maybe you could talk about why you chose what you did 😍 Even just on the tones for this video. I loved your music theory explanations with how you came up with parts but I'd love to hear more about your thought process behind tones cause so far I'm finding that the super mystifying part in this style. Love your work!

How do I go about getting these fx chains for these guitars? I would love to play around with them and make some good stuff.

[@mostlyspace3175]

Sounding great man! Just FYI, you’re writing riffs/songs/arrangements/compositions. A “beat” is the percussive element of a song, the only time it’s used to describe an entire composition is in Hip Hop (which is still inaccurate, but it’s widely used in that world).

[@RichiiWainwright]

Thanks man! I’m aware of all this haha, I just tend to get more views/engagement when I call an instrumental a beat

[@mostlyspace3175]

[@thattoothlessgrin]

[@crewd00d]

I would highly recommend not double or triple tracking bass, because the low frequencies can VERY EASILY have phase and stacking problems and either cancel each other out, or combine and muddy up the mix. Just solo track your bass and then duplicate it and send the duplicates to the other bass tracks.

[@RichiiWainwright]

That’s exactly what I’ve done haha. It’s all single tracked. Processed through multiple amps

Also left and right guitar tracks shouldn't be the same exact thing, it should be another take as similar as possible. So him having a channel for left and one for right and only recording once is gay and makes the sound gayer than Bruce Jenner

It sounds like “Saturday Night Wrist” era of Deftones. Reminiscent of Cherry Waves/Beware tracks. You nailed it man. These ppl couldn’t discern a signal chain from a fart in church.
