How to Edit Guitars in Studio One for a Tight Modern Metal Sound | Tutorial

[@zack9922299]

It really makes a huge difference. It's surprising how the guitars sound extremely robotic once edited on their own, yet in the context of the full mix it's sooo much better. Once you hear the edited mix, the unedited guitars become unbearable!

Really good observation! It’s really makes a huge difference. I still recommend playing it better than I did on the chug section. The main riff was already pretty tight, but it does help. Use your ears and make sure it sounds good in the mix 😃

Glad it was helpful!

Hey man, can you use this method for faster palmmuted parts? Sometimes I have a difficult time seeing the transients for rhythm parts. Studio one might not detect the transients properly as well.

[@Obi-Juan_Guitar]

Yes! It helps if you do your edits on the clean DI as it's easier to see the transients. 🤘

@@Obi-Juan_Guitar Thanks! Any tips on finding the pick attack before the transient? Right now, I look for the transient and just eyeball a few milliseconds back to find the pick attack. That's where I slice and move around.

[@Obi-Juan_Guitar]

@@alexmessingaround That's the way. Sometimes you can remove some low end from the DI with an EQ, and it can help the pick attack stand out more in the waveform. In the end, use your ears and if it doesn't sound good move it until it does. 🤘
