Amazing tips. It's never too much to remind us to deal correctly with the amount of gain in the recordings. It's so important!! Amazing guitar sound! Thanks!
Hey Jamie, nice to find you here! Just restarted playing and got myself an Audient iD4 with Cubase LE + the Archetype: Gojira Neural DSP plugin and was checking beginner tutorials on UA-cam, would have never thought of finding you on these :)
Omg. This video couldn't come at a better time for me. I just started trying to use Cubase 10.5 Elements, I have Plogue plug-ins, and I have a Marshall JVM410HJS with an emulated output going into a Zoom R24 Interface. I want to start making Nintendocore, like Iamerror or Ditto's Blood, but not a carbon copy.
Thank you for this video. I am in the process of recording my first pure fusion record so I am getting exposure to recording a rock guitar and it was interesting that literally every choice you made I said it beforehand or at the same time except for the Magneto plug in. I was not aware of that feature but I have other ones that accomplish that but will still check it out. Also, I am bassist and I run nothing but Mesa so I completely understand the love affair. I absolutely refuse to run through anything else. Mesa is my open mistress lol.
I love what you say about guitar tone. I feel quite similar. Too much bass and treble sounds horrible and with scooped mids you will simply disappear in the mix. As a mid range instrument, we guitarists shouldn't rob us off our own frquency by scooping the mids. I actually like to add quite a few mids on my amps' EQ, but that might be due to the fact that my amp (Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister Deluxe 40) sounds quite bright naturally and I feel, that turning up the mids gives it exactly what I'm looking for. However, I pretty much simply leave the bass and treble knobs at almost 12 o'clock. And of cause, I use an Overdrive pedal in front of the amp, to tighten the sound.
i just came across your videos i or should i say we our band, track most of our guitars pretty much the same way but i do use both an evh3 tube a and guitar sims...you give some great advice to these young guys coming up keep up the good work you are a master
Man i would've loved to leave those chugs alone. I kind of feel like they're supposed to be louder. That's what the amplification does and I like the energy. Everything else in this video was stellar though.
How long does it take to know the program as well as you? I bought cubase today and just would to know how long i approximately need to have no problems anymore with cubase. (Sorry for my English I’m from Germany)
Great video! Learned a lot! When you record di, is that really direct into your interface or do you use a separate DI box of sorts? And little tip 12:26 when you have your Object Selection Cursor selected and you press the alt-key, it becomes your scissor tool!
I plug straight into my interface so there’s nothing between me and the converter for DI. I route that from the DI into my Kemper and take the XLR out. And thx! I’ll check out that tool key!
OK. You're getting nice, smooth highs. My Kemper, when monitoring live, sounds great. When recorded, the highs are rather unsatisfactory, as in brittle and harsh. Any suggestions? Thanks.
For me back when i was touring tone was different live from studio. I’d start with your cab, try changing the cab to see if something fits the amp/your playing. I’ve released a pack called the Mendel IR Pack Vol.1 which has my favorite impulses; perhaps those could help (they’re not harsh, because i also hate that).
Hi - these videos are really helpful. Thank you. I have a question from the earlier Programming Extreme Metal Drums. All the programmed drums were contained in one Cubase part. How do you go about mixing them? Do you finalize all the parts and then convert them to separate WAV files per drum type to apply effects or do you have a method that allows the MIDI pattern to change and the effects are preserved?
This is great! I wish I had found this video sooner. Quick question. I don't have the metal amps or the room to record them so I'm using the amp sims in Cubase 12 Pro. Have you ever done any recording this way and if so, have you made a video showing how to get the best results?
felt honoured to get this video to 666 likes :D Tight video man, been playing metal for ages, but always great to be reminded of my bad habits! hahaha Thanks so much!
Fantastic video! I’m new to Cubase, what EQ plug are you using? Those I have only let me adjust low and high frequency cut off plus two more correction points, so I couldn’t do that final adjustment you did.
what if the tone is a little boxy, does that mean theres too much mids or is it just the tone of the amp/distortion pedal..im using a revv g3, i like the tone better when the mids is at around 12o'clock(or a little less)..when its at 1-2o'clock it sounds boxy..or is it necessary to have a tiny bit of boxyness so you will be heard better in a mix..thanks!! i used to scoop out a lot of the mids when i was a beginner because it sounds really great when im just in my room and i remember one gig, no matter how high the volume of my amp is, i cant hear my guitar!!😅 i dont want to make that mistake again..
I’m having a problem The pluggings don’t work ?) I don’t know how to explain it, but whenever I put a plugging I have a clean tone and not the plugging sound
Great Sound but I do have a question. I do notice quite a few guitar recording sound like it was recorded in a professional studio. Is it necessary get the final mix sent to a professional studio?
Great Cubase & guitar tips! For your guitar signal are you running into the Kemper & then splitting from there to get your DI at the same time or from the UAD Apollo?
Thank you, very interesting video! I started to use Amplitube as plug in of Cubase. Do you know if it is possible to make Amplitude to receive program change from cubase (I can’t manage to do that). many thanks!
Great video, thanks heaps! One question regarding Cubase (maybe someone else knows the answer). Does this trick with selecting a few tracks, then creating a group track and auto-assigning the selected tracks to the new group track also work in Cubase 9? I really hate assigning them all by hand... Thank you :)
@@orcunozcan Since i quad tracked them, so 4 different performances there’s no need for ms changes. I also advice never to do this, copy pasting a performance and shifting the ms will more sound like a short slap delay rather than a new performance.
Man I don't know how you don't hear that harsh crash hat on the right. Everything is pro - kemper, guitar, quad tracking, compressing palm mutes, whistle eq, but total ignore of that crisp crash hat.
Amazing tips. It's never too much to remind us to deal correctly with the amount of gain in the recordings. It's so important!! Amazing guitar sound! Thanks!
This is super informative. I love it. I’ve been playing and recording guitar for 16 years or so and this is still so informative

I just bought a kemper because of this awesome tutorial
And how did it go? I'm considering the same thing. I use the Neural DSP plugins, which are great imo, but I was thinking about taking a step further.
This is a BADASS tone!
This is exactly what im looking for. Thanks a lot for your guide man. Will try make my guitar tone more wide as you did in this video. Cheers

Great video. Though a HUGE part of the tone here is the GUITAR, PICKUPS and KEMPER
True, but i’d say 70%+ of the tone is in the hands :)!
@@Mendelian probably more than that
Bravoooo my Brother
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome video! Congratulations! Can you make a video How to reamp with kemper and cubase settings? Thanks
Do you ever add any reverb to heavy guitars? And (if yes) what is your approach for (very) fast heavy music styles?
4:43 GEIELLL!!!!
Amazing sound!
Mendel....That is an awesome tutorial. Curious who's profiles you started with for the 5150 and the Mesa
They’re my own! 5150 is from my Kemper bundle called The Ultimate Profile Bundle vol 1 & 2
@@Mendelian Thank You....Awesome Profiles and you're an incredible guitarist!!!
This Kemper costs 2k, Is there another way to get a sound like this but without a kemper.
Thank you for sharing, great work!
Excellent.
Thank you for this

Thank for the video. I'm not sure...are you playing the riff 4 times (1 per track)..or only 2 ( 1 per amp)??

Thank you. The sound is great. Could you tell us about the drums and the bass? Are they virtual?
Superior Drummer 3 + Death & Darkness SDX. If you go to my channel there’s a list of bass vst’s i used in the description of my videos.
@@Mendelian thank you very much
basic question ... do you record guitars with balance in middle, then pan left or right or do you record the guitars already panned? tx
Fantastic video!
I’m new to Cubase, what EQ plug are you using? Those I have only let me adjust low and high frequency cut off plus two more correction points, so I couldn’t do that final adjustment you did.
top sound ! !
Hi Mendel, May i ask whay do you think of axe fx III? its really hard to decide which one is better for my homestudiyo...
Thanks
Hello Mendel! Great tutorial and great riff! On which of ur recordings can I find it? Thank you very much!
What drums do you use here?
Your guitar playing is really good but I'm more interested in the drums part. Did you record the drums part yourself?
Their programmed, there’s a video about drum programming on this channel:)!

Hi Mendel, what's the gadget you're using with a pen called? Looks like something that's very convenient to have.
Great Sound but I do have a question. I do notice quite a few guitar recording sound like it was recorded in a professional studio. Is it necessary get the final mix sent to a professional studio?
Did you record guitar paths four times, or once and copied and reamped by Kemper ?
Great Cubase & guitar tips! For your guitar signal are you running into the Kemper & then splitting from there to get your DI at the same time or from the UAD Apollo?
I’m plugging straight into my DI, from there it splits into the Kemper and Cubase
Yoo what interface is that??that joint is killing!!

what you use on your drums??
“One mistake a lot of guitar players make is scooping the mids.”
*Proceeds to set mids at zero.*
What is that thing you use looks cool
What is that beautiful guitar you are playing?
hai bro.. if use focusrite solo interface.. it can get sound guitar like that? and what name of guitar amp u used it in this video. tq
hi dude, just curious, i have a 6 string i want to tune to drop B orA , which gauge strings do you use on your 6 ?.....
So everything is in stereo?
thanks for the great work, may i ask why dont you set R/L full istead of R95-R85 and L95-L85 and some latency can work around -+ 5ms?
It depends on the project, most of the time when i quad track i set guitars L1 and R1 full L and R, snd L2 and R2 90-85 to make them a bit wider.
@@Mendelian thanks flr the info Mendel, how about ms? did you set something agaşn depand on the project +- 5 or 10

How to create your perfect guitar tone: get a kemper
I wish it were that easy, I have a Kemper you can really get lost down a rabbit hole with it
No latency on the bus track, using mb?
The latency isn't noticable unless you're tracking. Delay compensation makes sure everything stays in check.
@@ReeseWitherknife How to do it, on a cubase 10?
What Kemper Profiles are these?
Ultimate Profile Bundle 1 and 2
why you recording 2 R and 2 L guitar
Ok, you got me by naming aborted! Great video! ❤
You have a KEMPER and a DAW and you couldn't be arsed to record the direct out of the kemper and just used your voice-over mic? Unbelievable.
