1:00 amazing solo

[@dungeonboy3270]

This video is a treasure trove of solid information for someone looking to record a death metal album at home. Really awesome video, as always!

[@resington]

Cheers much appreciated!

[@BLACKSHEEPROMANIA]

Thanks for sharing this man. Your methods never leave my mixes. Merseyside old school brutality ❤️

[@resington]

Thanks man!

[@vangelismoraitis]

Couldn't ask for more and you did it by yourself. Great video!!!!

[@pyre6955]

Your vocals are killer man!! Make more songs yeah!! Ultimate 90s mastery!

[@AravKrishnan]

Great job dude , always love seeing your process , and the production and song writing on the EP is top notch!

[@resington]

Thanks dude!

[@OmegaStationMusic]

Wow! Thanks a lot for doing this tutorial, it's super useful! Great job choosing the Ugritone OSDM drums, it's perfect for this kind of tone!

[@NoisyHeartStudio]

Justo lo que estaba buscando! Espero poder adquirir la OSDM pronto, suena perfecto

[@michaelrichardson8343]

Dude, you absolutely nailed the tones. I know Ugritone is the king of that 1990 death metal thing. I love the Slayer type of solo, thanks for the detailed play by play here and for the flashback 🤘🤘🤘

[@alexodenmusic]

Wow this is amazing! Any chance you could make a reaper template for this? If not it's okay, I can copy the settings from the video. Thanks so much! Your videos have helped me out a lot.

[@_Henrique66]

Sounds sick dude, great mix!🔥

[@resington]

Thanks dude!

[@WrathVictory]

Man this stuff is great ay Really can't beat it for the info. What an excellent time to be a guitarist. Hearing the instruments isolated is awesome, and the sheer brutality of the EP and this track!! 🤘🤘

[@resington]

Cheers dude!!

[@Ronny1031]

Killer sounding mix, man! Time to check out Feast For the Beast

[@resington]

Cheers hope you enjoy!

[@gerrydaly5409]

You really nailed that sound - great tutorial

[@resington]

Thanks man!!

[@wyrdsinister]

Huge thanks for all those vids man! Really hard to get your hands on any useful info about mixing this style of music. Cheers!

[@resington]

Glad it helped! Old mixes from this era are now considered a bit rough especially the scooped guitars but that's part of the charm.

[@wyrdsinister]

@@resington Definitely! I'm a sucker for old-school black metal, so death metal from this era sounds like butter to my ears.

[@JanithNissanka]

This is Awesome Bro

[@mobilemetal4554]

Sounds awesome. Death metal for life.

[@mobilemetal4554]

Question. Is there any good free ir’s that works well to get a Swedish death metal tone?

[@art_vasilevskiy8919]

Raw and aggRESsive! It makes suffer and feels like five nails through the neck - you know what I mean =) Reminds me about good old days! Thank you and all the best!

[@pyre6955]

Man!! Sick tutorial!! Please send more! 🤘Great job great sound amazing!!

[@vincentemerald2574]

Sounds sic!! Your simple approach is killing these so called fancy engineers Lol

[@goatsurgeon]

Now that's what I'm talking about!

[@floluna363]

This fucking ripped man! Took me back toy youth first time I heard butcherd at birth you totally nailed the feel man thank you for that keep up the awesome work and thank you for all your contributions!

[@resington]

Cheers man!

[@AndreiGrozea]

I feel like, processing wise, the reverb is a huge part of that 90s death metal sound. Fantastic video mate, will need to check out that Ugritone OSDM pack myself. Would be cool to see how the good old SM58 compares to the E935 btw

[@ChugDealer]

Great video man, and super helpful! Would never have thought of using the Teaser for leads, but I'm gonna try it. 👍

[@CrushingAxes]

Very nice mix dude ! Awesome songs !

[@resington]

Cheers as always dude.

[@marcintaniewski1263]

Sounds sick 😳🤘👍

[@toastermctoastface321]

Sounds great! Have you tried de-essing before the head crusher and reverb? I feel the distortion and bright reverb may be accentuating the esses making it more difficult to tame them afterwards, maybe?

[@resington]

Tried it all tbh. Thanks man.

[@toastermctoastface321]

@@resington I guessed you may have, still sounds br00tal anyway! Keep it up!!

[@thehellwecreated]

Awesome!

[@resington]

Cheers!

[@SilentScreamsStudios]

Nice mix man

[@ninjaneer1974]

Great info here. Love watching vids about how others approach certain types of vocal/guitar/drum/bass/whatever. The day you stop learning is the day you may as well be dead. At that point you aren't growing. Ya know? Thats the way I look at it anyway. Anyway, I appreciate you and your willingness to share. 🤘

[@CoffeeRampage]

Hell yes! I've been making some ODSM myself with this kit; funny enough I had to delete the old version so I could install the newer version, sounds sick!

[@synamosea]

brutal EP man! have you heard of TUKAN js plugs? i would like to hear what you can say about it and maybe you can use it in your arsenal in the future. more power and stay brutal!

[@resington]

Cheers and I'll have a look man.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Is Tukan the Analogue Obsession guy? I love the AA stuff. It's my secret sauce. Especially the Konsole.

[@synamosea]

@@RolandDeschain1 im not sure. he has some cool jsfx plugs. go check it out dude.

[@RolandDeschain1]

@@synamosea Nah, different dude. But his stuff looks pretty good.

[@Ugritone]

Hell yeah!

[@resington]

Thanks for the drums!

[@yorkiel7446]

just bought osdm for 10$ and am not a death metal guy and was worried i was gonna regret the drums but jfc they sounded sooo fucking good in that track

[@resington]

Thanks dude!

[@steventurner9820]

wow... amazing song. you captured the old school sound perfectly. in which tuning do you play, D standard?

[@resington]

Thanks man this one is in E standard.

[@kurglekreutzer6344]

That's some really good stuff right there! By the way if you want another usable and free de-esser, try the Airwindows one, or perhaps use it and the reaper one in series! Cheers!

[@maplefoxx6285]

I also use Reaper and mix metal and synthwave music both. You have a really good channel i subbed the other day. What kind of guitar do you play? and what pickups do you use? I am using a Schecter with EmgHz humbuckers. I am going to try your setup you made here soon. I do not have a decent old school metal setup yet. Thanks for the links to the IR files and Amp sim plugins too, I did not now about some of these. I took the Mix your first Metal song course in Reaper from Chernobyl studios , it was pretty good but he uses all different stuff than i have. I have Bias FX2 and Archetype Nolly for paid stuff... oh check out T de-esser by Techivation, it is new and free

[@resington]

Thanks and cheers for the tips man! I have pics and videos of all my guitars on instagram linked in the description. Rhythm guitars here were my H benton fusion T all stock.

[@maplefoxx6285]

@@resington thanks for all the awesome videos. I tried your master chain again, I disabled the 2nd compressor and only using the Xcomp one.. and disabled that limiter with the -10 threshold. and only left the master limiter on. then rendered again and it sounds really good and at around -10 lufs which is perfect. I like this master chain of yours because it allows me to master and mix live streaming and it has a good old school sound, the song i made sounds like Death's album Sound of Preserverance.

[@TAKAHULIPRODUCTION]

Wow! Great! thanks!)

[@RolandDeschain1]

I love the Reaper videos. That's a LOT of compression on the vocals. I guess with growly vocals there isn't much dynamic range so you can crush them like that. I go about as far as -10db and ride that make-up gain. Mind you, I also have four reverbs on each vocal. 😝

[@resington]

Crush the vox dude. Best way especially for fast parts words can get lost if not crushed.

[@enriquenogueira4837]

dude I have the exact same drum plugin and the exact same configuration but somehow the drums sound very small and bland. please help

[@russiangoose7053]

Would you happen to know where to find any free midi drum beat loops? I just want basic metal and punk beats haha

[@resington]

Free? No sorry man.

[@russiangoose7053]

@@resington thank you, I figured if anyone might know about that stuff it would be you, your channel has helped me learn a lot and save money but drums are the only think I'm missing so I guess I'll have to save my money 😂 thanks again mate

[@AlexRoque83]

Fuckin' killer, this EP is an awesome death metal old school stuff. U rule 🤘🏾 Make some vid of your vocals recording session, there's almost nothing about this on utube 😉🤘🏾 Cheers from Brazil

[@konstantinrybakov]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@alejandrodiovi]

Brutal as fuck dude

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

nice dude, I`d like to ask what pickups do you use when soloing? I mean my main guitar has a single coil in the neck position, so that`s what I use for solo but it sounds good only on first 3 strings and only starting from 10-th fret or so. If I go lower the tone is very nasal, do you think It`s all because it`s single? Or should some solos be played on bridge? I also heard fast solos should be played on neck and slow on bridge, what do you think?

[@resington]

All depends. For singles you get more Highs and string cherp. Try more low mids maybe cut more treble and see how that works.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

@@resington thank you

[@johntiter2825]

Question, I tried using Aural Verb. I can't hear any sound coming from my system when it's enabled. I can hear about a split second of sound before it drops out completely every time I hit play. The problem goes away whenever I disable the VST. What could be happening here? EDIT: Some presets work fine BUT some like the Large Plate and Small Plate cause the issue.

[@zakarianajim]

What mic did you use for vocals?

[@resington]

Sennheiser e935
