Shawn, I had no idea who you were when I first clicked on this series. Been recording in my home studio for decades (older rocker 🤘🏻) and a self proclaimed all things Toontrack fan man. Gotta say that I was able to extract a copious amount of tips, tricks and just time saving goodness. Your presentation demeanor and chill cadence are pleasing to the ears and eyes. Thanks for your passion and knowledge passed on to us out here grinding away in the obsession. ROCK ON BROTHA!👊🏻🤘🏻 New sub.
Chad, you are in for a treat! Shawn’s walkthroughs and tutorials are uniformly outstanding. Better clear your calendar.
Chad, welcome! And thank
You much for taking the time to say. It makes my day!
Same boat, Chad ... Shootie is so helpful ...
Thank you, Joe!
MAN! That’s a helluva wrap up to the METAL Month series.
Every one of your videos is really twice as long as the run time because you pack so much immediately usable information. Other tutorials will meander through “what does this slider do?” exploration, which can be fine, but yours are straight to what works for your song. I can take that and experiment on my own and you don’t distract me with every possible option.
Absolutely stellar series, Shawn!
Thank you so much Scott for taking the time to say!
Brilliant, love it and so easy to follow the teaching, well done shootie. rock hard, rock heavy ROCK AAANNNIIIMMMAAALLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for saying! Do come back soon, I have a ton of Toontrack content and doing a Q&A live tomorrow.
I learn little things every time I watch. Very nice.
Thank you, Steve!
Thanks a lot, again, Shawn ! You're the BEST !
Thank you for saying, Victor!

You are so welcome! Thanks for commenting!
This is awesome! I think this type of thing could be a course- mapping the writing and recording process with Toontrack products. I would definitely buy it 😎

Thx for a GREAT and inspiring serie ;) you got a gift for teaching my friend. love from a snowy Sweden !
Thank you so much for saying, Thompa! Snowing already!?!? I think we’re just a few weeks behind you on that.
@@ShootieSchool yeh, its started snowing yesterday in the middle of Sweden and still coming. I am in this moment stuck in my little cabin and can't do much beside my song creating ;)
@@ThompaThelin I'm happy with that situation "after" I clear my driveway.
@@ShootieSchool ha ha , my driveway is 8 km or almost 5 us miles. waiting for the snowplow :)
Thank you for this series! I'm a total newbie and this is going to be my bible when I get both ez drummer and ez bass. Now subscribed ❤️
That's great to hear! Thank you for commenting!
Really great series Shawn, with fantastic tips for working in any genre. Toontrack, hire that man again! 😊
Thank you for coming back and commenting, Shining!!!!
I'm not even a metal guy but I got so much useable information and techniques out of this series. Thanks Shawn you just keep killin it
Rocky, I psyched you came and saw this series! And thank you as always!
This series has been such an eye opener! Really appreciate you putting in the time to put all this together. I've been looking into purchasing these plugins for a while but what put me off is my lack of experience and the worry of it taking to long to learn and make it work for me. But this has shown us how to get a really good work flow going and it's certainly inspired me to just go for it. Thanks alot man!! 🤘🏼
What a fantastic comment! Thank you, Tyler!
Great video as always!
I can't imagine how much planing you have to go through to make these videos as structured and clear as they are.
Thanks for great tips and keep the good work up!
It took a great effort, thank you so much for saying!!
You are amazing. Thank you.
Thanks for saying!
A fantastic way to "rock up" this series. Much respect! I will be watching this series a number of times to work this into my evolving flow.
Awesome!
Great tutorial, Shawn!

Great job as always
Thank you, Spyder!
Lots of inspiring and helpful techniques thank you !
Thank you for saying!
Thank you Shootie!
Thank you, Dom!
Kickass bro
Thank you, Patrick!
the very first thing you point out about the beat not matching the guitar makes perfect sense..........now. truly outstanding. thnx. and you point out the avg user must BOLDLY go to the grid editor. i hear you say it in Spock's voice. not really. peace.
LOL!!! Thank you, Bluze!!! I appreciate you commenting on my videos!
Hi from the UK Shawn. Awesome video...now a subscriber...so much information and described so well, even a 60 year old Rocker like me can follow it 🤣 I'm a real newbie to all DAW recording and all the amazing stuff you can get!! Tbh...the last time I recordedin a studio in 1982..the only thing digital I can remember was my watch!! Thanks for all your great work Shawn.
Hey Shawn! Don't lie, your watch wasn't digital!! lol! I did pay some dues myself, I grew up on a Tascam 424. You had to work for it. Thank you so much for the comment and the sub, it's great you're getting something out of these videos. Feel free to come down to my Facebook communities, lots of people helping one another down there. Thanks again!
@@ShootieSchool Hi Shawn. Sorry my bad typing my name is Mark..lol...yeah my watch was probably analogue..lol...
I've put a post up about SD3 on your group...hope someone can help...
Cheers .
@@marktimson943 OK, Mark. Cheers!
facebook.com/groups/shootiesspeakeasy
@@marktimson943 You're totally sane, that was my misreading!
please make more metal videos!
I'm not going to argue with that!
your the best ezdrummer teacher. I'm going to start trying to build beats inside ezdrummer now. opposed to dragging midi to the daw grid. been going through lots of your videos past few days. your awesome Shawn .

Thank you, death!
Good Stuff! Sub'd!
Awesome! Welcome!
Thanks so much for your videos. Please could you show your best settings for Ez drummer 3. My drums are coming out too bright for some reason. I like your sound. Also what is your best velocity to start working with for realistic drums. Thanks again
I start at 115 for metal and hard rock for velocity. More dynamic music I would start lower. It's a really subjective question. Best settings don't exist. Different song require different sounds. If everything you do is too bright, simply EQ it. Or consider that your headphones or speakers are what is bright. Thank you for saying!
@@ShootieSchool thanks so much for your reply. Might be my headphones that are too bright 🤘
This video goes hard
Awesome, thanks!
youre a god bro lol \m/

Hey thanks for enlightening me. I have my drum track down, just tweeking now. I want a section in it where I just want singing and almost a pause with drums, then continue as usual after this bit, which may sound odd. Not sure. It is pre chorus section, just the first line to pause on. Any thoughts?
I wouldn't classify it as anything unless it's an entire section. If I was working with someone else, I may refer to it for reference as a break, or breakdown. No rules on this, Colleen.
Needs more cowbell! No really, very instructive. Look forward to more vids on EZKEYS as well.
Thank you for commenting!!
Hi Shootie, Sorry its me again....I have a female fronted rock song, how best to use EZMix 2 pre sets to make her vocals and backing vocals to sit in the the song mix
It's really a subjective ask. Unless she has a super deep voice, you can usually cut 100Hz and lower out. I believe the Vocal Tool box has a few Female Presets, though I typically don't judge the presets by their name.
@@ShootieSchool OK, its knowing where the base line to starting the signal chain, I think I should play with it until I know I achieve how I want it to sound.....
@@woodlandercoppice9986 Everyone has their preference. As a rule, I take out unwanted low end frequencies before doing anything.
@@ShootieSchool Many thanks for your advice, EQ it first me thinks.....having a play with it at the moment, there is some great stuff and getting close to what I want and sitting in the mix quite nicely now, so......... rock hard, rock heavy, ROCK AAAANNNNIIIMMMAAAALLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!
@@woodlandercoppice9986 Rock on!!!
Hi Shaun or is it Shawn?.....anyways tis me again......have finish mixing the first song of a new project and I'm just wondering whether you could cast an ear over if I was to private message you and send over a MP3 version, not to tell me what you'd do it, as your right in saying that mixing is subjective....just to give a few pointers to maybe improve it??.....this would help in my learning the craft of mixing. I like space and depth to my songs (By the way, Grid Editor is superb!!!!)......so could I send over, don't worry if not, it's just an idea.
You can send it to me on my site. You should consider joining my Facebook or Discord group, great places to do just that and get feedback.
@@ShootieSchool I have sent it over Shaun via messenger
