Hey Remi, your work here is really inspiring. I can't play conventional instruments too well, because of my physical disability, but I've always wanted to compose a metal album. Seeing you making a track from start to finish using virtual instruments gives me hope that I can. I would love to learn more!

[@f3ynman44]

Which app/software do you use? I also want to try to create music, even though I have no experience with real instruments

[@ajmentel2453]

@@f3ynman44 all music software (which you'll see called DAWs, digital audio workstation) are pretty on par nowadays, but for having no experience with real instruments your best introduction would probably be FL Studio. It's also the cheapest, and the easiest to p1r4t3 (arr matey). OP is using Ableton Live in the video.

[@nitroanilinmusic]

I've been doing it for a decade now, you can absolutely do it too!

[@CrippledPrincess]

@@f3ynman44 hey I haven't started just yet but I'm considering using reaper.

[@CrippledPrincess]

@@ajmentel2453 I'm considering reaper, would you recommend?

[@KHETTIUS]

The clean guitar parts has a S.T.A.L.K.E.R vibe going on, very cool.

AYYYYYY MLYAAAAAAAAAAA

[@CKBeets]

Man this is great. I haven’t played metal in about 10 years and don’t really have the time to dedicate to being in a band these days but I just discovered how great midi guitar and bass have gotten since then and I’m really inspired to start writing again

[@Vanaxul]

The editing at the beginning is priceless

[@reezlaw]

I've been doing this for years, it's a great way to prototype songs for your band

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

Really great work, very interesting using nothing but software to make music There's no limits!!!!

[@pakiw2]

Reminds me of Vildhjarta - all for sake of others composition. Not as complex but same mood/vibe. That's nice.

[@nathanstatham]

Yo this is absolutely awesome! Really impressive stuff man!

[@ryanbertelli]

Those drums sound killer - I use modern and massive but it does not sound like this - would love to know your signal chain on those drums, especially that snare! Whole mix sounds great!

[@cjmllvv]

The part with the arpeggio guitars is extremely dope

[@version2498]

Je sais pas si tu l'as déjà fait mais il y a une chose que j'attends plus que tout dans tes chansons (ce qui ne m'empêchera pas de kiffer comme toujours si tu le fais pas). C'est un rythme en 5/4, 7/4 ou encore 17/8 comme Yes dans leur chanson "Changes". J'aime vraiment beaucoup le rock progressif et pour moi tu en fais complètement partie. 👌 Merci pour le son et vivement le nouvel album !

[@TheBiohazardKick]

Ok snake drum should so be a thing now. maybe a nickname for the snare drum. :D

[@alectriciti]

9:20 gag had me laughing so hard. You sir, are quite the entertainer as well as you are musician. Thanks so much for sharing insight into your craft!

[@ObsidianContraption]

Sick track! Thanks for sharing your process🤘🤖

[@anthonybruno9812]

your rhythm guitar tones and mixing are always suuuuuper solid. Noticed you're using Neural DSP Nolly for them, right? Is there a specific preset you use or what do you do for amp approach?

[@ConexusPK]

I love how this sounds like the sickest Gojira/Vildhjarta-crossover. Fuckin' epic

[@falcuma]

So good! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@lillycue]

I'm actually saving money for a snake drum.

[@prodetheric]

Archetics vibe and also my name is Remi too! Crazy cool vid, love the NeuralDSP usage with Shreddage. Fantastic and inspiring tutorial for someone who can play guitar but doesnt have the time coz i travel so much.

[@josephperkins-z7n]

The whole track sounds like august burn red - meridian. Loved it so much.

[@larswillsen]

Next time, stuff in some really heavy Hammond B3 ... the apple is f-ing red! :)

[@Notsram77]

It's so good to see you Remi!

[@macompose]

Thanks bro really helped my production

[@TheZachAtacKK]

@13:58 goes so hard!

[@SuodesTzeos]

really love this content Remi, keep it coming! O U I

[@Matoro342]

Amazing work! Wish I had half the skill and knowledge you do. That guitar tremolo part is my favorite, I have to figure out how you do it.

[@Matoro342]

Also, will the track be released? If not, do you mind releasing the project or midi files? Could learn a lot from it.

[@MisterSanchez]

Ok, ben je vais essayer de venir te voir sur twitch un de ces quatre! J'aime beaucoup ce genre de contenu

[@ElectroHouseProducer]

Ableton God how are you? Glad to see you back🤘🏻

[@de-so]

Oui

[@theguy6598]

Great ! Now I can link this video to people and tell them "See, my job basically consists in doing this, but with much less talent !"

[@Logan619ine-i5q]

Thanks you for making this i love metal mainly deathcore and i don’t play guitar (just started) and I’m currently learning piano and vocals and music production/sound design as well (just started those as well). But i don’t own kontakt and i don’t own a realistic guitar vst they’re very expensive lol i only own the haunted guitar free version but that just wont cut it so i’ll prob have to wait awhile but you’ve given me lots of ideas and tricks in this video thanks

[@ajmentel2453]

kontakt is free my friend. try spitfire labs as well.

[@tfwnoyandere]

​@@ajmentel2453 a lot of these vsts require paid version of kontakt

[@mpk6664]

​​@@ajmentel2453 Spitfire has no free guitars that fit a metal style.

[@MidiboyGregg]

I use Shreddage a lot. Been using it since version 1. It's all over my newest instrumental album called "Home Is Where My Heart Is" by Gregg Hart. Absolutely love Shreddage.

[@nitroanilinmusic]

Shameless self-promotion but I like your style. Sometimes we gotta get shameless. It's not like virtual instruments weren't also all over my instrumental album called "Fé" by NitroAnilin.

[@TheZombinator1]

@@nitroanilinmusic i also did a thing

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

Great job for a live composition. May I tell something: for this style it misses change of tempo, and more changes with the drums. The guitar solo is also key. I would be curious about programming well guitar solos

[@Girei93]

Programming solos is quite a pain in the ass compared to just playing them, which I assume if you're capable of writing them, you're probs capable of playing them in the first place, as long as you're not doing some crazy shit like Berried Alive/Rings of Saturn/Jason Richardson type stuff.

[@BriceCapelle]

Oui la pomme est fucking rouge.

[@gameceed]

i've heard about you then i play in the game "the last spell". I think what you are very tallanted musician, i very much like your musical vision and style. I want to wish you fruitful creativity and reaching new heights in music, never give up your business. did you release this track?

[@sambopow]

Nice work dude - not all of us can play guitar - this helps

[@TREEN1104]

OUI

[@VayleMystery]

C'était super intéressant à regarder ! J'adore ton style de composition, j'espère que j'aurai l'occasion de te revoir en concert dans un futur plus ou moins proche !

I had to subscribe just because of the solid snake drum

[@AngelOfRepentance]

Tres bon morceau, surtout avec si peu de temps passe dessus. Tu penses pas l'integrer a un EP ou album j'imagine? Si non, tu veux pas le mettre sur soundcloud ou quoi, comme au bon vieux temps, qu'on puisse le DL en bonne qualite quelque part?

Was all of the guitar sounds from shreddage?

[@DoctorP007]

excuse me what in the FUCK is that guitar vst for distorted

[@GianlucaMurru]

I don't get how the sidechain thing at 8:41 works. Could someone explain me?

[@AnthonyBecker9]

the basic idea is that you want to lower the volume of several instruments when the kick plays, to give the kick room. this is the basis of pumping sound in much house/techno/trance here i believe he is just using a 'ghost instrument' (plays at the same time as other instruments but is not sent to master) in order to duck (another word for side chain compression) the instruments in a more subtle way, since the kick will create a substantial duck. that was my understanding!
