Jaw dropping mix, my brother. Drums sound massive as well. As well as everything else. If you don't have a full mix breakdown on this, you need it.

This is an age old trick. I was adding sometimes a piano with the low end to fill the gap in the low mids that overlap between the bass and guitar, which usually are taken out with an eq. Something like in the song "Paradise" by Bleed From Within. You can get insanely massive tones by enhancing the bass midrange.

Yeah, Slipknot uses this piano trick in Before i Forget (especially bridge park). Distorted piano root notes as a "baritone" layer between guitars and bass works really well. I even made a preset called "Rubin Piano" and use it quite often.

I layer to layer. I need to write the songs first, i try to make it sound cool before it’s done😂 this was great info

@SaltSpirits 2 ай бұрын

best switch to my production workflow was writing out entire tracks in piano before i ever touched anything like sound design or layering or even drums. focus purely on the melody and harmonies and how they mix and what they make you feel. and then everything else just has to support that

I do the same exact thing! That's how you come up with the best ideas sometimes, though. It's all about what you do with the idea. 👍

I always forget about Vitamin. It’s a really great plug to focus instruments with really complex frequencies, especially sub bass. Great, clean mix man.

Awesome vide, mate. Loving your sound too. You're absolutely spot on about how much of a role arrangement and sonic choices play in getting that massive sound.

What's your opinion on live reproducibility? How far a band can deviate from things that can be performed live?

@dshredmusic 3 ай бұрын

Insaaaane stuff! Holy hell! That's the kind of fruit you reap out of stepping away from the ordinary.

@dshredmusic 3 ай бұрын

Question... Were the EQ's set to linear phase, given the layering? Or no? And why. Please and thanks! :D

@coeuechtritz311 2 ай бұрын

stepping away from the ordinary, everybody does this and has been for the last twenty years, this is so generic

@LuLeBe 7 сағат бұрын

@@dshredmusicno you don't need linear phase. Do you think anything was ever in phase with anything else there? We're talking about guitars (their phase is pretty random already given the double tracked real performance) and saw stacks (probably the most "phase-less" think you'll ever see) plus other pretty diverse sounds like the wind chimes. You might want linear phase EQ when layering two kicks that should stay aligned. But these details don't matter at all in 99% of cases. Take the easy route first (normal EQ) and only when you notice "wow it suddenly sounds so bad when I use the EQ" you could try linear phase.

i love how youre like i added upper harmonics to the symnth bass because i wants ed it to be heard when actually you just wanted a wall of sound and also the guitars and that sawtooth wave synth is doing job was to occupy those ranges. i think youre just parroting stuff from someone but you dont actually really understand whats going on.

No, they aren’t. He consolidated them into a single stereo track, but they are double tracked and panned L & R. It makes no sense to track electric guitars in stereo since they don’t offer any stereo information. You might see acoustic guitars (or other acoustic instruments) being recorded in stereo, but that’s different because you’re purposely micing it in stereo (for example, AB, XY, M/S, etc) to get a fuller sound. However, just because you can doesn’t mean you should since adding such recordings to a dense song may cause masking issues during mixing. You’d typically use stereo instruments to fill up a space, which is what he did with synths.

@peptoattack 3 ай бұрын

Just to complement what everyone else said, the reason why you just don't record stereo is because the info will still be mono, so both channels will sound exactly the same. That's why you double it, became there will always be a difference between one take (mono, R) and the other take (mono, L), offering a rich "true" stereo feeling.

Maybe I am real old school , BUT, why do so many people mix the vocals so far back in the mix. I can hear the snare drum louder the the vocals ??????????????
