Recreating 5 Popular Metal Guitar Tones on iPhone/iPad with BIAS FX Mobile

[@NikNocturnal]

*TONE*

[@rockchiccactus]

Very nice, heavy sounding riff in the intro song. NICE! Added it to my favourites within Spotify.

[@DanzoSrife]

You've got a good ear bro, nice work :D

[@rocketracoon2337]

Nik can you upload that to tonecloud please?

[@allboutthemojo]

What audio interface device do you need to connect guitar to computer for running bias fx, amplitude tonebridge, deplike etc?

Nik please please make this a series! I can dial my own stuff but watching a pro do it makes me up my game!! Thanks man. Btw I already own bias fx and bias amp on my iPad but i also checked out the link 😉😉

[@TheFlightV2]

I swear to god I’ve never had nostalgia like that all that remains tone. Absolutely smashed it mate

[@demoninkstudios7735]

For those asking, the riff he is playing during the All That Remains portion is from their song ‘Two Weeks.’

[@Martinwilhelminus]

Those Music Man guitars are gorgeous

[@ximontrespalacios1257]

hey Nik, mind telling how you connect Bias on the iPad to your DAW? is it thru USB and guitar connected to interface?

[@dylanneumann873]

This I a educated guess but most likely yes

[@RainyDayBlue8]

You should do this for first 4 metallica albums. And Batman by Powerglove

[@aiden_macleod]

The production on those albums were shit. The compositions were badassed, the performances were tight, but the sound was garbage.

[@Horrorfreak106]

@@aiden_macleod Lol get the fuck outta here, those first 4 albums sounded fucking badass compared to the often overproduced and fake sounding shit that comes out nowadays.

[@martos60]

@@aiden_macleod These are 35 year old albums. The guys had limited studio time and everything was recorded on tape. Nowadays everybody sounds the same because you just press a button and you have a set guitar tone and you don't even need a real drummer to record an album.

[@johnp82]

@@aiden_macleod There was definitely room for improvement on the production, but I think they did a decent job considering they were producing it themselves. And they got better with each album. I think Stone Cold Crazy is the best thing they ever produced before the Black Album.

[@dan8402]

This get two thumbs and two toes up! Ok seriously most of us can't afford $20,000 in gear, and honestly the BIAS FX 2, and BIAS AMP, along with Jam Up pro will give us everything we could possible want. A $39 dollar adapter and we are rocking. Upgrade to a better MIDI interface to have an IK stomp board, and add a Mic, etc and you are all set for less than a mid range Marshal head and cab. I agree please make this a series. There are a lot of folks who went this route because we are bedroom artists, we don't gig, or teach or have the funds for a real rig. The stuff you can do with speakers, mics within the software is pretty awesome too.

[@gold3npimp]

Does $20,000 worth of gear even exist? I’m quite happy with my less than $3,000 set.

[@dan8402]

gold3npimp I know lots of folks that have 30,000 plus in guitars alone. Start throwing in different pedals, three or four amps for different tones and yeah you will far exceed it. I couldn’t even get to 3K in gear. So for me the whole setup will be less than 500, and the tones available will be equivalent to thousands in amps, pedals, and gear.

[@matthewnolan5846]

I've never been great at or had the patience for dialing in tone but watching you get things so tight makes me wanna experiment more and get better. Thanks dude!

[@gabrielpena9582]

This is awesome. You should definitely do the same with more bands

[@DJakeSt]

Take 1 shot every time nik says "old school metal tone"

[@jateex.8955]

my liver will die then

[@ronitravi8523]

You should do a "how to dial Jason Richardson's tone" since you have the his sig guitar 😏 that will great and helpful.

[@vondragonnoggin]

I recently started re-exploring Bias FX and Bias Amp on an older iPad 2 using an older Apogee Jam 30 pin interface. I re-setup my iPad 2 and it allowed me to download older versions still compatible with iPad 2. It's an amazing combo for a dedicated guitar rig. Even presets I make using multiple pedals, compressors, eq's will only peg CPU at 50-60%. Plays in background too so KZbin lessons and tutorials can be jammed with easy. Bias FX and Bias Amp (version 2) need tweaking to get the best sounds but starting with some popular downloads of amps from the web is a good starting point, then tweak away. They can sound absolutely amazing. Been able to dial in many artists tones from Niel Young to Lynch, to Andy Taylor or The Edge, to Brian May or Robin Trower or even as seen here - Slipknot, Meshugga, and more modern metal sounds. 80's hair metal or thrash sounds are easy. Zep, Sabbath, Cream, Hendrix - it's all there if you tweak settings

[@RyanBromberg]

Hey Nik can you do a quick run-through of the actual setup to use this? I have have a 1/4" jack to USB cord that I use for rocksmith that I plug into a lightning to USB adapter to then plug into my iPad and play through Bias. However, the only way to get live monitoring is through the iPad speakers (since there's no headphone jack anymore) and if you use Bluetooth there's a crazy lag. Anyways, how are you monitoring? Are you using a splitter? A different input thing like an iRig? Or something else? Cheers

[@Bon3less]

You should do a video where you more of a hard rock like creed or alter bridge

[@mortifer7705]

Nik, I know you probably won't see this but can you do a cover of some Jinjer? You can pick anything you want, but I recommend either Pisces or I speak astronomy. Love your stuff man!

[@andersthorstensson4347]

This was fun! 👌😊

[@TheRandomSpectator]

Disappointed that there's no ATB. I'm no audiophile in the first place, but their tone really stumps me.

[@gold3npimp]

It’s pretty neat how a program on the computer can mimic an entire amp with presets. Does this app and your amp go hand in hand? I have a fender mustang 3? That came with a CD and the app has everything the amp has plus community made effects.

[@synysterbullett4166]

Yo Nik, I saw that you reacted to Poppy. You should check out her song Scary Mask ft. FEVER 333. I think it's her best metal song. I know you normally react to newer stuff but I still highly recommend it.

FEVER333 is good definitely like them some people may not tho

Hi Nik, great video. I have a question for you, when I try to use drive or distortion with Bias FX 2 in my IPAD I get an ugly sound like static or feedback very loud, imposible to play. I use de IRig (the first version) do you think that this is the problem?
