One - Metallica | GarageBand cover by Zan Music

Hello everyone, and thanks for watching this video. This is my cover of ‘One’ by Metallica. This is another original cover by me, meaning I meticulously edit and create all the instrument tracks, and every single note played. For those who are interested, this cover is in Eb standard compared to the original E standard. I used this tuning as Metallica typically plays with this live. Anyways, thank you for watching this cover and I hope you enjoy!

the bass is louder than on the album track and i love it

[@ZanMusicYT]

Thanks! I thought the bass might be better if it was audible compared to the album.

the work behind that is just amazing!

this is by ear or by tabs on like songsterr or something?

Kind of both, as I know the song by heart on guitar, but for the parts I forgot I simply looked up the tab.

[@angerkey]

Are the drums programmed or played live? Because I tried doing this same cover many times and due to the time signature the drums were just a hell to make…

[@ZanMusicYT]

I used the ‘Drum sequencer’ for the drums in this cover. In my opinion for the time changes, i would just follow the drum score of the song and try to ignore the time signature changes.

[@workshopclips5164]

how do you even use anything past the 12th fret on this stupid app i never could figure it out lol

[@ZanMusicYT]

For me, if there’s anything past the 12th fret, then I just take it over to a synth track and change it to a guitar sound. (For example, the end solo)

[@radioactive.redwood]

usually what i just end up doing is manually fixing the notes in the editor or doing it an octave lower. if i’m fixing it, i play the basic rhythm of the part just so that it’s easier to put the right notes in. i hate having unnecessary tracks lol

[@Skaterboy205]

Why is it in eb running?

[@ZanMusicYT]

Good question, I used Eb tuning mainly for the reason that Metallica now plays most of their songs live in Eb, also I chose it because I think it gives it a better feel overall.

[@flaggyanimz]

@@ZanMusicYT nice, when I did a GarageBand cover of One, I used Eb tuning. It sounded heavy!

​@@ZanMusicYTwell they mostly play it in eb bc it's easier on James voice and it's easier to bend strings.

[@derduuude4695]

Where bass?

[@therefridjerator]

nice this is awfully similar to a midi i found...

[@ZanMusicYT]

Yes, I used a midi to give me a starting basis with this cover.

[@user-do4kk5qr7j]

The guitar sounds like a robot. No feel

[@ZanMusicYT]

can’t control this, i tried my best for a decent guitar sound. GarageBand has its limits.

[@flaggyanimz]

6/10. Maybe add some chorus to the clean guitars. Bass, palm muting and vocals are needed too. Maybe turn down the distortion guitars, they were quite high. Find some strong drum sounds too, I found them a bit weak. The 'Darkness' bit onwards was also a bit slower, so I'd make another project with that tempo and add it to the slow bit. It's good though, I can see the guitar and drums parts are accurate. A few tweaks can always help a song.

[@ZanMusicYT]

Thanks for the feedback, I didn’t use palm muting on the guitars as I used a synth track for all guitars. I was going to use vocals, but they were a bit too overpowering in the final product. I realized halfway through this recording that some of the distorted guitars were too loud, so I muted one track. Also, considering the end section of this, the reason it is a bit too slow is that I made this cover in only one project, so I had to have a set tempo. With the drums, I experimented with multiple different sounds. (SoCal, Heavy, Live Rock Kit, Bluebird, etc.) I found the ‘heavy’ drum kit to be the best for the Tom fills as well as the very present double bass drum. Finally, I already added a ton of chorus to the clean guitars as well as eqing them a lot in this song.

[@flaggyanimz]

@@ZanMusicYT Using the actual guitars are a lot better, they sound heavier and palm muting is an option. If the vocals and guitars are too overpowering, experiment with the mixing, I think you'll get a good result. For a punchy drum sound, I recommend using Retro Rock for hi-hats and rides, Bluebird for snares at toms (full velocity is way better) and SoCal with scooped mids for crash and kick. For the chorus, 16% intensity and 64% mix makes it sound nice and woozy.

all you did was download a midi and screen record it bro you aint slick i know because i've literally downloaded the exact same midi before for a joke and like half the notes are wrong lmfao

[@ZanMusicYT]

This is not fully true, as I started with the midi but then transformed it to my own cover of this song. I added many things and it is not just ‘downloading the midi and screen recording it’. It is much more than this.
