btw. love your channel and great taste for sound!

Thanks for watching and for your kind words! Very hard disagree on point one. I’ve tried s-gear 2 on a number of different kinds of tones and it sounds bad on everything except low gain leads. Whether it’s cleans, modern high gain, classic high gain, nope. Sorry. But if you like it and enjoy it, carry on! That’s what matters most! But on point 2, yeah ML are the GOAT for amp sims right now, the only company consistently making sims that almost feel like playing through a real amp IMO. Since making this video, I have acquired their entire catalogue and my impression of Mikko’s work is even higher than it was when I made this video! Thanks again for watching! -Toby

@@AiiZStudio Thanks Toby .. don't need to feel sorry, I love the honesty. That's why I am subscribed to your channel. I am really curious what makes some amp sims sound great for one person and sound really bad for another ... could it be the initial input volume? or the type of audio interrface? Active/passive pick ups of the guitar? Do we really hear the same sound on different systems? Just a few questions. btw I am just a music enthousiast and not a professional musician/audio guy and my setup is very low budget.

@bartholomeusclever glad to hear it! For me it’s the harmonic/saturation/compression/sag of an amp sim. Some (such as bias fx, s-gear, amplitube) feel/sound like a flat 2d distortion, whereas something like ML’s new Blackout plugin has a much more “3D” distortion to it, that distorts the harmonics differently to how it distorts the fundamental. I might be explaining that badly. Maybe I should do a video on that subject specifically 🤔 -Toby

Thank you! It was a while ago, I can’t remember I’m afraid. If I still have the session, I’ll double check and get back to you! -Toby

Yeah! I’m very impressed! A lot of fun! 42GB may be big compared to other kontakt libraries, but it’s tiny compared to superior drum libraries haha. -Toby

Thanks so much for sending them over! They rule, you rule! -Toby

Thanks for watching!!

Hell yeah!

I use it for months now. The kit is killer sounding. It takes little to no effort to mix. A bit of comp, EQ, saturaration and maybe a bit of transient shaping and that's it !

Yeah it’s very good! That’s what I used in the demo song with no external processing! -Toby

❤️

It’s so bloody good. Makes me want an IRL stealth now to sit next to my OG 6l6! -Toby

@AiiZStudio I love mine, it's such a great amp. Playing through it now.

@@jackbootshamangaming4541hell yeah!

Love you Mikko! Yes! Genuinely! 😂 EMG pickups with 24v mod probably helped, and dining the gain on the amp and the drive pedal 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 -Toby

@mlsoundlab and ML Bass!

EMGs with 24v mod are the ideal actives imo. Fishmans are great and have more versatility but EMGs sound better for the active​@@AiiZStudio

@ I think the EMG 81 is the greatest pickup of all time, and will gladly fight anyone who disses it! 😂 -Toby

Hell yeah! Thanks for sending over the samples! We’ll be using them a bunch! -Toby

Thanks for watching! Yeah I honestly think ML are the GOATs right now for authentic sounding sims! -Toby

@@AiiZStudio To be honest i use most of the time Neural Stuff, because of the overall quality of amps, all the fx and so on,, at this point i just can't justify to buy more amp sims, but ML Soundlab makes fantastic sims and i use some in my productions as well!

Thanks for watching! -Toby

Heh heh heh loophole 😂 -Toby

I intentionally had no plugins on anything so you could hear everything natural. The actual song will have real amps and will be mixed by Ruben, but thanks for your input! But beware of using too much of gullfoss and soothe on guitars, the upper mids is where the aggression is and you can end up with guitars that sound toothless! -Toby

@@AiiZStudio I think soothe is well suited for cymbals and vocals but not for guitar, it's the wrong tool for the job, I use gulfoss not to take anything away but keep the EQ spectrum balanced in real time like one would do with a mutliband compressor or manual EQ automatization. I tend to make palm mutes actually brighter with gullfoss. To take the harshness away I usually have to take a way 2 or 3 frequencies with a narrow notch.

@@robbeaertscomposer I don’t have gullfoss, but will quite often use Saturn to saturate the mids further and give the tone more bite! -Toby

Thank you sir! -Toby

Thanks for watching! You should be able to use these in any DAW! -Toby

I don’t have any experience with those genres, sorry. We only really work with metal, punk, and hardcore. -Toby

I would suggest hitting up support, they should be answer that for you! Great guys over there! -Toby

I’m working on it! I’ve probably got over double the number of libraries I had in this video now 🤯 -Toby

@@AiiZStudio that’s so valuable! Can’t wait

@@Begkan I’m aiming to have it out in time for Black Friday! -Toby

@@AiiZStudio thanks for the info!

Doin gods work out here 🤟🏻

Thanks for watching and for your kind words! Have you played through one of these? -Toby

DF Greiner is pretty sick, but I think MDL Tone UHD is better! -Toby

Ooooh that’s a tough one. I love how versatile MDL Tone UHD is but overall I think Bogren Trivium Drums has a sound I prefer. -Toby

I think it depends on what you're looking for. This is great for thrash/metalcore stuff.

@@benstanfill363 I think I’m just a sucker for a Jens produced snare haha, the snares in MDL don’t quite have the ping/pang that I love. -Toby

@@benstanfill363 true! Both drums sound great, but I can only afford one of them. They're too expensive for me in Brazil. Toby does an excellent job reviewing drums, so I trust his words hehehe

Haha yeah this was a super quick and dirty demo for an upcoming @bloodypineapples song. So quick I didn’t name or colour code the tracks! 😂 Thanks for watching, Brian! -Toby

Yeah those toms are SOOO perfect! Bogren killed it once again! --Toby

Thanks! I literally just used shinz DI with Trivium BassKnob and nothing else. Just tweaked the gain on the the Bassknob to taste and called it a day! Thanks for watching! --Toby

@@AiiZStudio Great, thanks!

@@80s_kid no worries!! 👊🏻👊🏻

My bad! It was nocturnal bass!

@@AiiZStudio 👍 (The thing is that it sounded like a picked bass but I thought that I hear this because of the complete mix.😁)

Oh yeah, I do that as well. That’s a good tip, and toontrack have step by step instructions on their website on how to do it in all major daws too! Thanks for watching! -Toby

Thanks for letting me have a play! I’ll definitely be using these on a few upcoming projects! -Toby

Hahaha I hoped some people might like that little joke 😂

Wait until you hear it! Aho ho boy it sounds so good. -Toby

Indeed!

Bahahhahaha oh man, I hope not 😱 I am totally genuinely looking at getting the “everything bundle” before they close for good though! -Toby

@@AiiZStudio ikr, it looks so sexy, I want total studio drums or modern doom at least

@@plazima yeah I mean, at the end of the day, more is more, right?

@@AiiZStudio yep

Hi! Thanks for watching! I didn’t use a preset, I just chose the drum pieces I wanted, exported as Multis and sent all the files over to our mixer Ruben. We haven’t done a mix walkthrough on this song, but we have on some of our other songs on the channel, where you can get an idea of the kind of processing Ruben does when mixing drums! 👍🏻 -Toby

ToneX is pretty tasty, it’s still one I use a fair bit. Most times I do a reamp, i’ll also get a ToneX capture too! -Toby

Hey dude! Are you a member of the urm Academy? The fast tracks are included with an enhanced membership! 👊🏻 -Toby

@@AiiZStudio Ok cool thanks

Haha thanks for watching 😂 -Toby

I would genuinely like to know how the video could be improved upon though if you have some actual feedback! 👍🏻 -Toby

Yeah, I’ve been GASing for one for aaaaaaages, I’m so glad I finally have it! -Toby

Hmmm now that would be interesting! -Toby

Yeah definitely. I had a brain fart and neglected to cover that section 🤡 -Toby

2008 was a great year for trivium, shogun came out then, which is my favourite album from them. Thanks for watching, and please consider using my affiliate link if you do grab these! -Toby

@@AiiZStudio Ok, I will! And yea - 2003-2008 - were the best era for metalcore bands. Truly great albums came out in that period of time.

@maxmolodtsov thanks! And yes, for sure! Killswitch, god forbid, bullet for my valentine, as I lay dying, Atreyu, a7x, all that remains. So many bangers! -Toby

@@AiiZStudio Yes!!!

Damn that’s mad! It really is an absolute tank of an amp, and I agree with all that you’re saying here! The scoop button is kinda hilarious tbh, but I guess it was perfect for nü metal back in the day haha. Thanks for watching!! -Toby

Thank you sir! I’m hoping to be back to regular again! -Toby

Love you! 😘😘 -Toby

Iconic is great too! No, no stereo input, but you can link 2 instances together in your DAW! (Unless you’re on logic) -Toby

It’s to die for, right? Thanks for watching and for your kind words as always Max! -Toby

Thank you sir! Lots more to come, soon! -Toby

Pink sabbath is great. Pink handles the clean and sabbath gets your filth in on! I should probably do an extensive shootout of ml5 and fluff2c 🤔 -Toby

Yeah man! It’s wild, I quite often look at my amp collection and think “do I reeaaaaaaally need these still?” I think I forgot to mention in this video that I just wrapped up production on an album that uses every single ML amp sim on it 😂 -Toby
