The Secret to HEAVY Guitars


I thought I’d share a look into the way that I track and create my metal guitar sound! I had to do some tracking for my new project reverie, so I thought i’d record it to see if it could help you guys.

  • Not unique though. Still cool but EVH had a unique sound. I have no solution here btw- this still sounds badass. What will be the new sound?

  • The video idea is great but you did a crucial mistake by not dialing in the tones while the other instruments are playing. Not good, unfortunately

  • Surprisingly, not a bad tone. Zero low-end, but this sounds just right for the music you make. The music is also nice, surprisingly.

  • Thanks for the insights – so you dont double Track all your guitars? Only in passages wen its should be super heavy?

  • 4:13 : almost, actually the whining is electrical noise coming from your monitor, if you played further or rotate 90°, the whining would go away.
    Normal ambient noise should be like a filtered white noise, of course it would still be there because of the gain, like you mentioned it yourself, but if you want cleaner signal, you should be playing further away from your monitor.

  • Wow, no offense, but when I think heavy, I don't necessarily mean downtuned an octave lower and dialing in distortion to taste. Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Soen are great examples of how metal can sound heavy and dynamic without the need to go low.

    Seriously, this is something a lot of guitarists need to learn when mixing.

  • Amazing video, not overcomplicated like some of the tutorials do and after watching quite a lot of videos about mixing and understanding what you are actually doing it kinda shapes the knowledge.
    Hope you continue to make easy to understand mixing videos
