Writing CHUNKY DROP D riffs with the Quad Cortex corOS 3.1 update | Thick Riff Thursday, Ep 84

[@mattynes]

“We’re in drop D today” immediately pitch shifts down

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

😅 caught in 4K

[@digital360]

Beat me to the punch. lol

[@Nehemiah.The.Shepherd]

Drop Double Deez 😏

[@ChrisVsTheGiantTortoise]

Adding the octave up and that single coil lead gives lots of Intervals vibes. Big fan. Happy Turkey Day!

[@FernFernFerm]

you've been bilmuried again, brother

[@lonnylasagna]

the hog cranketh

[@potcherron]

holy sh't you are undeniably my favorite youtuber the relaxed approach to get things done is really inspiring to me as well as the killer riffs that come out each time 🙌 keep on the good work and all the best!

[@Reapertips]

thaaat is such a cool workflow! I super love the octave rhythms 🥰

[@domsmithart]

I am always inspired by you and your writing process in these videos, but this video bumps that inspiration up a notch. So simple, so thick, so fun. and with the perfect amount of Bilmuri energy. Love it!

[@slash196]

Glad I finally got a QC, there's a lot of dope shit on there.

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Niceee! Yeah tons of fun stuff to do

[@bradybeckman8273]

Nick out here getting freaking with us☺️😏

[@isaiahcervantes4438]

In the TFT club, we all fam. Yes les gooooo!

[@joeycastle1997]

I’m here once again finding myself BEGGING for a full version of this

[@ouie-fl4qo]

8:26 that riff would sound good slapped on bass in a later section

[@FyreGod]

Dude you are unbeatable! Literal BANGER AGAIN!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯

[@Ghostbearstudios]

So good. Sounds like a super heavy version of infiltrate, destroy, rebuild era CKY.

[@ProgSchmock]

Speaking of drop d, it would be cool to see you write something along the lines of sylosis or old school trivium!

[@squirrelybeatz5843]

Hell yeah, brother

[@nicholasjackson8782]

Dude that lead melody is amazing it's one of those licks that I'm pissed i didn't write it myself so i could call it mine 😂 feel good riffs is such a perfect description. I recently started trying to record my own music in reaper and i hope to someday be as good as you at this

[@elliottpetrella155]

Your helix tone video helped me a lot, thank you, happy Thanksgiving

[@yonatron5684]

The guitar pro-q multiband compressor bands sound so good

[@aaroncourier6452]

*brother.* this is sooo feel-good i love it

[@nicholasjackson8782]

Right? Idk if it's the major key (I could be wrong on that) but it's so good

[@Brandon_Renegade]

This was beautifully done man, tones were beefy and elegant where it was necessary

[@batbeardscs]

Happy ThanksRiffing!

[@DiamondLifer]

thicc riff thanksgiving🎉

[@blakewalker6883]

Might be favorite riff yet. So sick!

[@RcktFngrs]

The Groove Man strikes again!

[@conwayconart1360]

Fully cranked brother

[@nullnetizen]

Nailed it!

[@JamieM202]

No live bass for drop D? Brother! Awesome video as always! Honestly TRT is my highlight of the week!

[@vahle420]

Every god damn episode man 🫶

[@PoppaFoz]

Another incredible thick riff Thursday!That single coil tone is sick! Any chance of sharing some of your QC tones in the cloud?

[@akmetalhead95]

Groove city!!👌🔥

[@Samyam97]

this Riff is song worthy Nick!

[@afterlilac]

I could hear the home team on this

[@awaitingtheday]

I hear Polyphias "Light" in the lead; Love it

[@afterlilac]

@ i definitely hear that too and thank you for reminding me of the existence of that absolute banger

[@AntonisKoumpari]

that is probably the best lead tone i 've ever heard

[@R3N3GAD3tx]

fort joke was peak

[@blakestanaker]

Thick riffsgiving

[@04scottmeister]

It’s like Karmanjakah and Bilmuri had a baby! 🔥

[@the1khronohs40]

Epic grooves my man! 🤘🤩

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Periphery called… they want their single pickup tones back. 😅 Layering that was the secret sauce! 😂 AWESOME ideas here! Blending the single and HB tones on these tunings…. 👍👍👍

[@ChrisVsTheGiantTortoise]

Clicked the notification SO FAST. LETS GOOOO

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

my man 🤝

[@GhostedGunner]

That fukin solo tone...OMG.....also that last note in the solo.......I wanted it to keep going!

[@RemixManRU]

i don't what exactly, the drums or the lead guitar, but this has HUGE old ERRA vibes! as always insane stuff

[@matt6288joyce]

Yesssss ❤

[@brunomageste7146]

That lead was tasteful. U have done it again sir

[@joshsanderson662]

This is like Bilmuri meets Aaron Marshall and I love it

[@Hasil_Kureshi]

super catchy

[@angelogrotti]

Drop D tuning. Let’s take it down a couple octaves 😂😂

[@ApoteosisGuitar]

The poliphyaest tones 👌👌👌

[@wrathrowe]

Nick b'y, you're deadly.

[@ChameleonHulk]

You are bad ass, sir!

[@benhagan]

Thick riffff

[@emogarbagexx]

brother that lead riff is so tasty

[@AdamAldred]

Amazing work as usual. Would you be willing to share your Logic Pro templates you mentioned toned or maybe do a video of how you set yours up?

[@zombieskurge2193]

Nice

[@keatonrobinson2970]

this goes hard

[@thelifeofatim]

big Home Team vibes on this one!

[@bowserb64]

FORTIN BATTLE PASS

[@dachabot1]

it's too good

[@LongLiveTheBeat]

Bruthuuurrrrr

[@Simon-gh6nz]

when album?😞

[@infelicitas]

when bro said bilmuri I knew it was gonna be good

[@Spermwhales93]

Bilmuri meets Intervals vibes, 100% a SLAMMER. Finish it off and lean further into the Intervals vibes by getting Mike Semesky to sing on it :P.

[@Bad_Horsey]

This would fit right in on Polyphia's Renaissance album

[@danielesquilinguzman1656]

🔥🔥

[@edrosenquist6541]

I'm new to this site. Have you ever tried the Fractal FM9?

[@lukasguyader]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@diegodoesmusic]

TFT gives me the strength to make it through the week

[@psb69]

dude what about doing something like tesseract next time? will be so fun to see your take on it

[@DavidAllenMD]

oh man why play in drop d if your just gunna drop it? lmao still sick tho

[@Ribert_313]

Do you have presets on the QC cloud?

[@danydzn]

this man's inability to write a bad riff needs to be studied

[@Hiei999]

😞 this bass was not organic or ethically sourced. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@christophermcclelland1556]

Which is absolutely fine

[@andyxdawn]

This nuts on your chin are organic 🥜

[@dilbophagginz]

Legit question though, how long of a scale length bass do you need to achieve these ridiculously low tunings?

[@Hiei999]

@ good question. Meshuggah manages to get a nice bass tone for their lower tunings. Dingwall make 37 inch scale basses. Some basses are 39-40 inches. Just because the guitar tuning is low, doesn’t mean the bass needs to match that particular octave to sound good either.

[@tylerfowler5070]

These TRT videos make me wanna write music so badly. I really gotta get an interface so I can start recording stuff

[@crispy_338]

Still waiting on that metal F1 theme 😉

[@AntonOhlin]

Freedomcore strikes again

[@andi7133]

Drum Program Please !!

[@WILLAYFAIL]

anyone know what drum program he uses?

[@bishwadeepsikder3018]

Which drum kit are you using? Any post-processing?

[@GaebrealIsaacs]

This was a very Issues sounding riff. Add some drums that Josh would play and some Skylar bass riffs and this is just an Issues song.

[@vejichan]

What string gauge do you use for drop d and standard e

[@Michael-sd1df]

How'd you learn so much about music production, any suggestions?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Dude just years and years of doing it. I did go to music school, but even before that, it’s really just about doing it consistently. There are also great resources out there like URM and Mix with the Masters

[@spion92]

What alesis keyboard do you use??

[@JUNK_ZONE]

You think one day we're just gonna loop back around? Like.. pitch shifting will be near perfect tracking wise/affordable enough for players to all just be using standard shit again instead of baritones and 8/9 strings with special gauge strings? Les THALL?

[@MaznLy]

What drum VST do you use?

[@ПетърПетров-ы9ъ]

Something interesting content would be to try to recreate an AI song from Suno. Its amazing

[@abieryan7835]

Are you recording from to quad cortex through USB?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Yes!

[@DBIIIStudios]

A day to BilMuri

[@nickwilliams7511]

Happy Thanksgiving! New dearest when?? 👉👈

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

ASAP! 😅

[@AK-li2rj]

Hey Nick, which studio monitors or speakers do you use to hear what you're playing in your studio?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

I'm using the Barefoot footprint 02s!

[@AK-li2rj]

@nickbroomhallmusic Thank you!

[@crewd00d]

It's kinda giving Tapping Out by Issues vibes.

[@VanishedMediaOfficial]

anyone else’s hog cranked? idk what happened but, i was hearing things in half time and here we are. no complaints tho, just felt like getting that off my chest

[@metalpuppet5798]

Might be a stupid question but why compression on a pretty driven tone?

[@off6848]

To make the pick dynamics pop out more

[@ninjaravioli]

Also for pinch harmonics and better sustain

[@dicoloze3470]

Ok. Time to leave Sax 🎷 now

[@Kideem]

I ate too much food and now my tummy hurts :(

[@mrbgrow]

Aaron Marshall feature on thick riff

[@nkapz627]

What DAW are you using?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Logic Pro!

[@nkapz627]

@ I was torn between Cubase and Ableton. Starting off fresh for me. Any reason you prefer Logic? Thanks brotha, love the videos!

[@BRMP360]

Gotta try the Sprite Zero Winter Spiced Cranberry, you'll get thick elsewhere

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Tried it for the first time the other day!! Slaps

[@christophermcclelland1556]

It bums me out that you never put these on the cloud

[@off6848]

Contortionist type beat

[@Thatboybewhat]

It’s giving intervals and i love it 😮‍💨

[@Seagmoney]

Ur mic sounds super compressed
