Metallica - Master of Puppets (D Tuning + Remaster)

- Been a while since I've uploaded, but here's a thing
I finally learned how to make pitch shifting more natural-sounding, having no clue how kind of limited what I could do but now that I've figured it out, I have a feeling I can actually make meaningful tuning-videos and remasters. I also took the liberty of giving this song a proper remaster, since I've never been very good at it but I think I'm making progress. Added a few effects, punch-ins, and made the ending more dramatic. Expect to see some (better) And Justice for Steve videos soon!

Obey your re-master
Masterful comment
The purple looks so damn good on this cover
Honestly it’s so cool, and the bass is just wow
purple is the best color
I used to have a shirt with a purple cover of this album it was awesome
@@nightwishtech5329 ah yes the fake ones.
@@jannestefanoobski3604 Whatever you say. Not like I got it from Hot Topic or anything 🙄
Sounds like the first time I listened to the original song
That's what I was thinking haha
Yeah i use to change the pitch a little bit lower of song thjat i love on audacity, it's like listen to them for the first time.
So fucking heavy right?
Dude same!
@@attempt58 If you think is heavy, play it in C standard. ;)
now i wish the official album artwork was purple this looks gorgeous
If it was originally purple you have gotten used to seeing purple and then if someone did this thing and made it red then you would wish for it to be red☺️I hope you understand what I'm saying here it's quite interesting

6:20 This riff sounds so dope in D Standard
it does
Always been the best part in the song
That riff sounds sexy in any tuning on any instrument
It's that doubled C note, the last note in the riff, it sounds majestic in this tuning.
That's the famous Andy Warhol (David Bowie) riff. It does sound great!
3:53 honestly sounds so beautiful
IKR it has a really good harmony and much more better than the original
You hear Cliff's bass growling much more..
I can't be the only one who's actually tried playing it in D tuning
I normally play in A standard and can’t be fucked to tune up all 7 strings just for one song, so yeah
I promise you you're not. I haven't moved my ltd out of C in foreverrrrrr
I have played this in C# in the same place as the Eb and ummm I was not aanywhere near as good as this in D.
I used to play it in C all the time.
It's fantastic.
Bruh....how did you manage to detune to D without any sound quality lost? you're a fucking legend
it's what impresses me the most about the whole thing, the experiment itself is very nice, but you gotta give credit to the guy, he's a pitch shifting genius hahah :D
Ableton live
I think he downloaded the separate tracks and pitched each one down (maybe on Ableton, you have great control of the formant when pitching vocals)
tbh some of the quality is lost, maybe you can't hear it
@@arex6240 Yeah, definitely a bit bit-crushed sounding due to some form of data compression, but it sounds good regardless. It's mostly only noticable on the guitars and drums (no surprise there.)
D tuning sounds like getting ready for a bossfight.
E tuning is when you're suprised by the boss and you're figuring out your strategy.
i don't think you could handle drop A then mate
@@benjimanbunn drop E (1 octave lower than e standard) is cool asf
Everyone would've shat their pants if they released it this way in 1986. DAMN BOY DATS HEAVY
Everyone already lost their shit when they released it the way it was.
Kkkkk simmmm
From what I heard when this came out it made all other metal look like little kid shit
lol we had Darkness Descends already in 1986 and Reign in Blood and Obsessed by Cruelty among others
Lol yeah obviously, I'm a thrash listener of almost 10 years myself, but I would still say Master of Puppets was superior. Especially in terms of what amount of heaviness an unexperienced listener could digest. It's just heavy enough to get you hooked instantly and wanting to explore more of a genre, and just musical enough to not be overwhelming for your first encounter with thrash. Typical peoples' reaction going into stuff by DFA, 80's Kreator, Slayer is that of "wtf bruh that's way too extreme". 240-250 bpm thrash madness is just too much for 99% people to digest on first listen. Heck I had to get started with Metallica myself to even get used to raw brutality and energy of thrash sound. So yeah, by this standard, MOP is totally superior. And it's still not a tad less heavy than any thrashers that were on the scene in '86.
The solo sounds scary good, almost Slayer like.
No slayer solos are nothing like that
@@oldmatevb I just meant the tuning, not the actual solo play.
@@jt519 Totally agree
Poor choice of words there haha
@@jt519 But Slayer plays in E, not in D.
This is actually really well made. I love the vocals, clean and punchy. You nailed it.
Do it for the rest of the album? Maybe Sanitarium or Battery?
Whole album be clever sounds like Punk style friend.

@@KristianNowak maybe late, but thank you
Or in standard E hahaha
@@KristianNowak you're a master
Probably the best remastering of this song, I've ever heard. The tuning was surprisingly unusual, which shocked me, only being one semitone lower than live tuning.
But damn, nothing was hidden. Everything where it belongs
D standard is 2 semitones lower than standard
your on crack this is absolutely horrible
@deepcterror 4881 its not lol it’s in e standard
@@Wangrock_hardJohnson Their live tuning in more recent years has been D#, probably in an effort to save James’ voice a bit.
dude you should remake the whole album like this cuz its amazing
Wtf is your profile picture??????
Yea dude wtf is that?!?

The James voice sounds like from live
that's cause they play in D# live nowadays

@@DM-rc4yu yes. And since D# is pretty much a hybrid between E and D standard the vocals sound similar
@@sweatymetalhead A hybrid? Its simply the step between D and E. Thats like saying "2 is a hybrid of 1 and 3" :D

It just came to my mind and i think it's pretty cool
the interlude at the end literally like gave me full body chills I swear to god
God I love that ending, I think they should have added that in
The interlude is my favorite part in this version. It really conveys the euphoria that the protagonist of the song is feeling
for those who refuse to tune their guitar back to E
Forreaal
The interlude in this version kinda reminds me of the "Mr. Crowley" solos
Well since this is pitch shifted to D, that means the root of this song is D. Considering Mr Crowley is in D minor that makes sense
Bro the purple colored Master of Puppets album covers looks so good
Honestly Metallica and other Metal and Rock Bands should do what Black Sabbath did for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath with the 2 Version album artwork for Vinyls specifically.
Deep purple
That's an awesome idea. It would be a no-brainer for the artist because they're basically ensuring one person buys the same album twice at least, if not more. That's free money for them, all for just changing the color of the cover.
That purple color is FREAKING PERFECT!!!
that album cover is absolutely beautiful. Love the haunting purple to it. great version of the song too
Deep purple?
Getting that 90s “The gathering” and “First strike still deadly” testament vibes here
yes lmao
Down for life!!
Testament is so much better than Metallica in my opinion
@@playdiscgolf1546 In general I like Metallica more, but in terms of thrash Testament has them beat
Time traveler:
*breathes*
The timeline:
You simply MUST tell me how you did this
Certainly good lad, the technique's called formant shifting, and in short it changes the frequencies and tone of a sound based on the pitch. The way I did this in specifc is by using the ReaPitch plugin that's built into Reaper, it's a pretty normal pitch shifting VST. At the bottom of the plugin's UI is a section for formant shift, all you do is reverse whatever you did to change the pitch. E.G. I used the normal pitch shifting section to go *down* 2 semitones, and then I shifted the formant UP 2 semitones
Oh its you, hi
@@mctwishvonnoodles9793 did you do that (up 2 semitones on the formants) on all tracks or just the vocals?
Audacity, pitch shift does the same thing if Im not mistaken
u can do this even with a mobile app
that version is total eargasm, especially interlude
Honestly Kirk’s solo sounds good in anything 😭
I think it sounds pretty awesome, particularly the guitars; however, I think it objectively sounds better in standard. It’s sharper and more intense, particularly the vocals. I will say though that the interlude sounds EXCELLENT this way, really dark and somber. Overall though, great work! Very interesting to hear. 🤘🏼
Yeah the interlude sounds 👌 🔥 this way. And with the purple backdrop looking at it hearing the music seems perfect.
no such thing as «objectively sounds better» haha
@@kingnary9th688 id imagine there is in extreme cases, like scratching plates vs birds chirping, but yes. You are correct
@@seanclarke6733 touché. i’d imagine that’d be a pretty easy choice for most people. some people are into harsh noise and shit like that though, so you never know haha
@@kingnary9th688 Yeah I should have chosen a different word; I suppose I meant “as impartially as I am able to evaluate it”. I like some really harsh sounding things myself.
Fun fact: this is actually closer to what the song sounded like when it was recorded; to get it extra tight they recorded in a lower tuning at a slower tempo and then sped up the tape to bring it up to regular speed and pitch. Also, I never noticed Cliff playing 5ths on that “dun-dun” at 2:28 before and I love it. Great work my dude 👌
I know they did this for a lot of Ride the Lightning… but I am pretty sure this album is recorded at A=440 throughout
this sounds like bullshit
Source?

@@forsakensandor Not sure if they actively did this on this album but it was something that can naturally happen
Holy shit. I literally had an out of body experience...I was a kid again in 86 listening to MOP for the first time again. Thank you to whoever did this. I've heard it played in drop D, but not by Metallica. Brilliant 🔥🔥🔥
🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
I know it's strange....but I prefer more that than the original.
lol always these comments on videos like this
@@P1kk3 But I'm not joking....this song is fuckin' amazing.
@@tomahawk4131 no this sucks, and u like it because ur tired of the original
@@thepandahd5516 buddy, can't you just let him enjoy the song? And if you don't like it, why did you even watch it?
@@donovansweeney9114 lmao “why did you watch it” how else would he form an opinion on it, got a brain there?
Also, imagine if this was released today, like the notes and general structure of this song is the 80’s, yet my god it’s still so much better than anything being put out now
No it’s not
👴🏻
Revocation is pretty good. It's just not popular music these days
Funny: actually they recorded this song in D and slower at studio, and then pitched it to E accelerating the tape to get a tighter final sound. BTW: your proposal for the song finale is really great, dude; thanx! 🎸🎵🎶
I love the added interlude part at the end! I also love the tone of this version very awesome
Reverb sounds damm good on Hetfield's voice
Absolutely!
Facts facts facts facts facts
1:18
2:38
7:07
these are where you can hear the standard tuning
also 5:12 - 5:44
well... no shit? the prechorus riff is a step up and a step up from D is E.. the original tuning
@@Goom_ba people on UA-cam tend have very little knowledge of how music works… or just knowledge in general
you dont know how music works huh
ok, original key then?
What program do you use for formant shifting?
Reaper is an easy one to use
What Coltallic said. I used the ReaPitch from the included plugins for Reaper. Towards the bottom of the list is formant shift settings
@@mctwishvonnoodles9793 i love reaper
I really wasn't expecting the interlude being revisited in the outro. Cool!
Well, now that's "Trivium")
Yeah but trivium doesn’t have James Hetfield
@@magicalcow9888 don't be so lame, I just joked about D tuning, cause Trivium has cover on "Master of puppets" in that, that's it
@@JackieGuitars yeah mine was kinda a joke as well mentally no harm
i think Trivium’s version is in Eb (one 1/2-step up from this) but i definitely see the similarity. their cover is awesome
now i know how would A7X sound if they’d come from the 80’s
Most A7X song are in drop D. But you are right dude
nah this sounds a lot more like Children of Bodom
That's hail to the king actually
@@3badthebad a little but not as fast, good call.
This feels like listening to it for the first time again, Love it!
Metallica is going to play their songs soon that way when James’s vocal will be fucked up to that level that they will have to tune from d# do standard D
One day James's vocals will turn out like Dave's
@@QueenFrisky Dave’s vocals have always been kinda bad tho, by the time James’ vocals are that bad he’ll be dead or as old as The Rolling Stones are right now
Yea would have to be the equivalent to E434 instead of 440
@@jkdredd you mean E435?
@@cyrus8586 yes you are correct, was off by one
Considering the main idea of the song, this tuning sounds very appropriate, great job, waiting for other songs from the album
man i love the interlude at the end it is an amazing arrangement my dude
I love the outro you added after the evil laugh, nice touché!
Loved your touch on the ending so sick
1:55 In this part it sounds a very epic atmosphere, I like it!
That fucking solo sounds like a movie soundtrack, this reminds me of a few years ago hearing Master for the first time and being amazed.
This is the best remaster of this song yet. The way the interludes concludes the song as it fades out is beautiful.
Like the song never ends, mirroring the addiction that the "master of puppets" is putting on the addict in the song.
There is no happy ending, the addict is doomed at getting drugged, disapointed, then lured back into the drug by
the "master". Even If I'm sure this isn't what the author wanted to say, it just works so well and makes the song imo
a lot sadder.
5:43
Chills
I love the last minute of the song. Great mix!
sounds awesome!! i really like the outro
This is so impressive!! I love the sound of the bass. Awesome job.
Actually, effects that you added make this song better. From now this is my favourite version of MoP among all of the remasters and covers.
The harmony at 1:43 sounds even better. Seems to suit D-Standard and a lot of harmonies like that sound kind of a bit better in that tuning vs. E and D#
Dude, awesome edit! :) I love the original outro but this feels right (just like what Metallica themselves could’ve chosen to do), too.
Did an amazing job! Everything about the song that needed highlighting seems to be on point. I believe this is what it would sound like if it's were recorded today.
This sounds amazing, thumbs up 👍
Real nice touch with the outro
It's a little weird at first because I am used to hearing recordings of this song detuned with James' modern, cleaner voice. The interlude and solos sound insane though. Wish I could try the good pitch shift myself, there are a ton of songs I want to mess around with.
Yo this is sick well done 👏
This is a few blast beats away from being a death metal song

@@playdiscgolf1546 only prime Lars from 86-89 could maybe play death

That ending is elite. Great work, sinister asf
So damn good. Breathing new life into this already perfect song.
That ending sounds so damn good, well made.
didnt expect that to sound so good
This brought an actual tear to my eye from how amazing this sounds.
my gods, literally full body chills + goose bumps
the hair on the back of my head-
this is some damn wizardry, I love it!
Omg the OUTRO* was such a fuckin nice touch! Love this 💙🤘🏽
Adding the interlude at the end is genius
the section at 3:34 feels so much more haunting in D-tuning. really like this version, good shit.
This sounds so natural, almost like its the actual song, i love how clean the audio is!
If the original is heavy metal than this is a neutron star
clearly youve never heard infant annihilator's songs
@@slav4335speaking in terms of thrash, of course that is MUCH heavier but for master of puppets.
I don’t know how you did it, but it’s so good that it sounds like it was originally recorded this way if that makes sense
Literally got goosebumps during the solo
This is amazing
the interlude at the end is such a nice little touch man
Man this is insane too heavy feels good
If there's one thing I learned with formant shifting, it's to NOT use it on high pitched instruments (solo guitar, violins, flute, high sopranos, etc.) Formant shift attempts to hold upper frequencies in place while changing the lower frequencies. That's how James still mostly sounds like himself here, even though the recording has been pitch shifted. Now, consider the overtone series and the frequencies humans can hear. There are a lot of overtones that we can hear with lower notes, potentially dozens based on their pitch/frequency. For example, the pitch of the open A string on the guitar is 110 Hz (this is its fundamental pitch). Open A on a guitar also produces 220Hz, 330Hz, 440Hz etc at steadily decreasing volumes (the way different instruments sound different while playing the same note is based on how different the volume of each of these overtones are). Humans hear up to 15-20,000Hz. There's roughly 150 overtones for the A string that are audible!
Now think of higher pitches (like the guitar solos in this song). Do you hear the original pitch of the solo underneath the up front, D-tuned solo? That's because formant shifting is holding the upper frequencies...problem is that the overtone series of higher pitches quickly reach these high frequencies that are held to the original tuning of the recording. Think of the high "A" that's produced on the high E string. Its fundamental pitch is 880Hz. The human ear can only hear roughly 20 of its overtones. A higher proportion of the overtone series is within the range of frequencies that formant shifting holds to its original recording. It's upper range of the overtone series os audible enough that it creates the illusion of the original solo playing underneath the solo you hear in this video, even though the actual original fundamental pitch isn't there. In this case, I can hear the guitar solo constantly played with full-tone/major second intervals on every note throughout the solos, especially the higher pitched parts....
So yeah, if you read my essay and actually understand the music/audio physics jargon, now you know why the solos sound like it does, and why you shouldn't formant shift high pitches!
But here me out: it sounds sick as fuck
This is actually really good. I'm impressed.
Great job bro sounds awesome🤘
Imagine listening to the whole album in D( whole step down) then listening to it again in E (Standard). Man it would sound so weird. Either way it'd sound amazing. Metallica is and always will be one of my favorite bands. A true Godsend.

Dude, I didn't know Rob zombie covered this song 😂 no seriously, it's pretty dope.
The interlude sounds like a riff from King Diamond. But this whole song in this tuning is damn GREAT 🔥🤘🏼
It is amazing how it still sounds great while being tuned different but the vocals sound more low energy when compared to the original but the mid point sounds more like a classical style arrangement tone wise than the original. Great vid.
I don't know what I was expecting from this, but that was fucking amazing.
Bro, this is cool, but you gotta drop The Call of Ktulu down a step. That shit would sound unreal
