[@smoreshaunted]

What most people don't realize is that a guitar tone also has to be accompanied by a great bass tone. You can get away with dual or quad tracking fairly gravelly sounding guitars and as long as the bass tone is there, you're making some good pancakes. Great tutorial Mish

[@NeZversSounds]

I noticed that after upgrading video card guitars and bass guitars with passive pickups got noisy.

[@tobins6800]

I had to either face away or completely directly towards one of my computers.

[@smoreshaunted]

What??? That's crazy!! Best of luck dude!

[@smoreshaunted]

@@tobins6800 I said computer, but it can also be facing the audio interface that's causing noise from amp and cab sim software. For me it's definitely my computer making the noise but glad to hear what works for YOU!

Love these tutorials, always informative and helpful. A breakdown of how you personally visualise/navigate the fretboard as a not-so-theory guy would be awesome, I realise this isn't specifically GGD related but would be cool.

[@metalgear8000]

I wish there was a video like this for the bass sound in of this demo.

Yeah. There is a lot going on there with the bass. Glad he took the time make this video though.

[@metalgear8000]

[@joeyg1463]

Bruh track the bass duplicate the same track twice have a high pass on one and a low pass on the other so basically have 3 track divided in to a low (sub) mid high and you can throw a distortion or guitar amp on the high track and you can kinda control the lows mid and high separate and mix it together thats what i do and it sounds pretty good...also parallel comp

[@metalgear8000]

@@joeyg1463 Yes, thats Bassicaly the basics of it but there are so many ways to 'flavor' the sound. And somehow I never get it to sound heavy low and tight at the same time. I tried many tuts on youtube but not even one I found sounds like this.

[@GamePlayMetal]

@@metalgear8000 The key to Nolly's bass tone is to start with a great sounding bass DI. If you have a cheap bass that sounds like crap, you won't be able to sound like he does

Thanks for the lesson! Can't wait for those IRs!

[@Liquifireguitargeek]

Keith Shelley As for now ML sound labs IRs or the ones in the Nolly Archetype are the closest you can get

[@Julian66666666666666]

That riff is so disgustingly good that is absurd

[@jerod256]

"a little bit of grit goes a long way" - couldn't agree more. I love the sound of a clean amp on the edge of breakup, it feels more alive. Also, an amp that's pushed that hard is compressing the signal slightly making the loudness of the playing more consistent. That can be a crutch, but it makes it WAY easier for it to sit in the mix.

[@RIdeWerksInc]

I hope that is on the next album. what a sweet tone and groove

[@LucaLazzari]

Thanks for the free lesson misha, appreciate it as always. Still wandering why your mixes slaps so hard even through the phone speakers. I still suck at mixing and you play way tighter than me, maybe the answer is there. Or maybe not, who knows

[@heret1c385]

The "who knows" is the worst about that mixing stuff. There could be a million things we are doing wrong, and only time will tell.

[@LucaLazzari]

@@heret1c385 I was kinda joking, actually if you learn enough you get to the point where you can identify the areas that causes problems and start to work with them. A huge thing for me is that, compared to him for example, my source tones are worse (worse player, not enough djent, not a great environment with A LOT of noise, low budget interface) and that is tough for a beginner, cause then your mixing skill, which are still immature, needs to compensate a source that needs way more tweaking to sit properly where it needs to be. But still, who knows

[@Ken-yg4um]

[@KyleKingGuitar]

@@heret1c385 This is the thing currently tripping me out big time with mixing, my mixes sound so bland and I don't even understand what's wrong or what to do. Feels like I'm searching in the dark with a blindfold on :(

[@DrLangly]

Hi, let’s talk about gain with this little something I slapped together that sounds better than anything. The production sounds better than any record I’ve listened to lately. The drums, invasion, Misha just always has the best sounding drums. Period. This is definitely wetting my whistle to buy Invasion.

[@anomalyLG]

Super informative. I've been afraid of too much gain while recording but I feel like these amp modelers can really help you dial things in to the most minuscule detail. It's possible to still retain clarity while achieving that saturated sound with the blooming effect for palm muting.

[@Nikkohh]

Love to know what was used for the bass here!

Hey Misha. Brilliant video. Always insightful and interesting to hear you break down your approach. Just wondering have you done or if not could you do and video on your rhythmic approach to songs, specifically how you create asymmetric/cross barre line kind of stuff that's so much a part of your sound? Is that even possible as a video like this? Thought I'd ask.

Are you printing the different presets on the same track? Is this the standard workflow or just a means of demonstrating gain methods. I would imagine this method is hard to reamp.
