![Do you record metal guitars this way?? [ft AUGUST BURNS RED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wSBkC1Qi0EE/mqdefault.jpg)
Wow, took me a while to find the right search terms but this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you! 99.99% of metal editing videos are tone only. I wanted wave file edit for metal guitar.
Happy to help man!!
Good stuff, probably the best guitar editing vid I’ve stumbled on.
well done! It is so much fun to get lost in DAW work and find out more and more relevant tips and tricks! Been using cubase for 6 years but this helped alot!
Thanks for the great content. I appreciate you sharing this.
Keep up the excellent work.
Amazing video man !!!!
Thank you. Will echo what others have said in that this is exactly what I've been looking for in terms of editing tracks and what to look out for. There's tons of tone & EQ videos but this part gets neglected or creators assume you should know this.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 Super helpful
Nice video! Thx for tips🤘
All about that big pp energy man!! Good video
what a production so underrated, proper recognition will come I hope. greetings dude!
Hey dude, thanks so much for the kind words! Really appreciate that. I plan on uploading more frequently next year! Any production related topics you'd like to see covered in detail? Cheers
@@grimzee Yes man!
- To see you write.
Programing bass, programing drums...
It could be titled "Programming progressive metal with EZbass" or something lol or "How I write progresive metal drums" and some catchy last name.
- General optimization of the sesion (like to show instances of heavy plugins, to know that we're not wasting cpu by not using things efficiently)
💪🏽🍎
@@knocky3659 Awesome man thanks for the ideas! I definitely plan on making some videos that cover those topics. CPU conservation is a great idea as well, its often over looked.
Thank you dude, 🤘🤘🤘
You got it man! 🤘🤘
I've been watching a lot of videos on guitar editing in different DAWs because I'm frustrated that Pro Tools seems to be way behind when it comes to ease of performing this task. Reaper and Cubase seem much easier and intuitive, ESPECIALLY with the slip editing and being able to just click and drag the region to move it forward or back and not affect the rest, instead of having to use a keyboard command to nudge sample by sample. Seeing your warp and fade adjustments was also really great to watch, and makes a strong argument for using Cubase! Great work man!
Yes I know exactly what you mean, can be frustrating at times. There is a bunch of features in Ableton I wish they had in Cubase but for now I just have to do work arounds haha.
Warp editing and manual gating! 🔥 Great video man. What a sexual voice as well !
This is such a great video. Just wondering if the DI needs to be a certain level? Thanks!
thank you for this video Brian! can you PLEASE show/record those editing techniques in Presonus Studio One?
LOVED THE CONTENT!! how would you approach SUUUPER tight djenty guitar editing? like that after the burial's neo soul song, that has really tight robotic guitars lol
Thanks so much man! Getting that super tight robotic sound tends to be a much easier process since you don't have to worry about preserving the realism. For example you can chop off the start and tail ends of each note to get a more staccato sound. You also would have to worry about fading the notes in and out, they can have hard cut offs haha. I hope that helps! Cheers
Amazing vid! Thanks for the great content. I got a question. I'm trying to edit a song with a bunch of 16th notes and triplets. How am i able to identify the pick of a note from the decay of the previous note. Sorry if it's a silly question, i'm a beginner in this whole metal production thing. Thanks in advance! :D
Are you writing a DI track? Try zooming in and out and you may be able to visually identify the thickness increase of pick attack. You can also just listen over and over and watch the cursor move along to help you find it.
Your sound kick ass men very very good sound..
Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏🤘
which algorithm did you use? although i do very little editing like talking ms the overall sound is altered i guess due to the stretching algorithm applied across the entire event even when not stretching anything. this creeps me out
Hey Russ ill usually set my warping algorithm to "Elastique - Time" i find that yields the least amount of artifacts. A lot of the artifacts introduced by this method are hidden once the DI is run through the amp sim
@@grimzee It‘s weird! Elatique time introduces a very soft sound overall to the wav even when not changing huge parts of the file. Guitar is in drop G. Best Results where Standard - Solo for me. All results where Tested while beeing fed through Neural dsp Nolly. Very strange. On vocals i went Elastique Time and never had issues. :)
Is this a similar method to logics flextime?
Yes I've only used flex time a few times in Logic but I believe it has the exact same functionality!
Nice and useful video. Do you edit both left and right guitars to the grid? Don't you lose width, stereo or wall feeling that way? Thanks in advance.
If you over do it and make the left and right guitars 100% the same in terms of how the transients/waveforms look, you definitely will loose some of the width. I like to make them really close but never 100%, for example I might leave the left guitars tail longer than the right to increase the perceived stereo width. Hope that helps!
Hey man is your fiver account still active by any chance? Would love to have some help editing wise in the near future.
Hey Man! Yes I am still offering editing services. You can find them here: www.fiverr.com/briangosling417/edit-your-guitars-bass-vocals-and-drums
Cheers!
Hi! Great video! Would be interested to give me an online tutoring lesson in guitar editing in Cubase? I would be very happy. I couldn't find your contact info.
Thanks! and tes absolutely. You can reach me at info@grimzee.com
cant even get the sound of ur unedited guitars :(
Lmao I felt this in my soul bro. You'll get there! Pm if you wanna share your projects and I may be able to help dissect it with you (we can learn together!)
@@atgvolumes6772 sounds like a good idea. what genre are you into?
@@MetalGuitarTimo metalcore and death core mostly but I like rock as well, and some atmospheric ambient stuff is always awesome!
Do you have discord by chance?
@@atgvolumes6772 sounds great! Yes i use discord but i have to sleep now (germany here) we can talk another day
Anyone: Are these tools named similarly in Logic? If not, then what?
HOW DO I GET MY DRUMS TO SOUND THAT MASSIVE lol
Parallel compression
Why do we need to edit metal guitars?
You don’t. Do it all in one take as is and fuck all this editing snippet-by-snippet fart-by-fart approach to recording.
And that's why its sound robotic
Precisely haha
Hey! Do you have a Fiverr account?
Hey, yes I do! What service are you looking for?
@@grimzee I will need some guitar editing in the future, could you please link me your account? Thanks!
@@Axeltab Yes absolutely, here is my Fiverr link www.fiverr.com/s2/ae7df9a6aa
It’s true that this has become standard practice and bands feel like they need it done to be competitive. I kind of still wish that tight bands were tight because they were good.
First!
I just don't understand this perfection craving. If you want perfect fast noise - just use sampled guitars. They are much easier to edit and process. Gonna sound just as good, if not better. Live music is valuable for inherent human touch. Dynamics, imperfections are supposed to be there. Rant off. Excellent video. Thanks for taking your time to do it!
So you clicked on the video only to say that you dont want it? Why would you click on the video then.
@@TutorioNel, you replied to my comment without reading it through?
Really sad that heavy metal is approached this way now so often. To the point that, in order to create an “acceptable” recording, you have to butcher it to the teeth with editing and extract all the humanity out of it, otherwise it’s perceived as “unprofessional”. That is fucked up.
Heavy metal is characterized by precision… in editing. Apparently not in playing.
it's really not that big of a deal. people have been editing for a while even on tape. it's just one of those things where if it makes it sound better, and gets the same point across, why not use it? also you still have to lay down good takes before you edit, time aligning is hardly ever altering a whole lot, so I'd hardly consider it a "cheat" if you know what I mean.
@@tylercrews9025 why does it sound better? Where did this standard develop where inevitable aspects of any human performance are now considered undesirable?
@@majav15mg Long story short, modern musicians who are against editing often don't understand it fully and are usually complacent, egocentric, and lazy performers. Truly practiced musicians are extremely critical of their performances and often point out things that are too small to warrant completely re-recording for, and so they lose the ego and just fix it with a computer, because who cares. If a musician gets upset because their takes needed to be edited, it's a good sign that they're probably incapable of taking criticism or they just have a bad ear.
@@tylercrews9025 That’s complete nonsense brother.
You still insist that natural and inevitable aspects of human performances are somehow “flaws” of inherently lower quality that need to be fixed…
…and that the edit-butchered agglomeration of snippets at the end is a “good product”. I completely disagree with that,
No classical recording would be taken seriously if it was recorded that way. Rife to the teeth with cuts and edits and takes where every little note was recorded separately. Or extreme multitracking to create something you’d need many more musicians for.
And people do care immensely. I want to listen to a PERFORMANCE. Not a computer project. But to each their own.
@@majav15mg boomers when they realize modern music is entirely different from what they listened to and that production standards have also changed 🤯🤯🤯🤯
