When I used to use free bass plug-ins and pitch proof, I would do -12 semitones, but do like 70 percent wet because you still have the clarity of the original notes while getting that beefiness you want from the bass. As well as you still have most of the full sustain
Dude. I’ll pay for a lesson, teach me this !! I have Logic Pro but everything you did is what I’m looking to be able to do as a starting point for song writing
Line 6 Helix native plugin is the best. for tone shaping. one channel overloud TH-U the first one the 2nd one has to be mixed with like Guitar Rig 6 to sound good. Bias 2 is okay as a one channel amp I wouldn't use it for the finished sound same can be said about TH-U v2 however their are some Metalcore 51 presets that are killer on Guitar Pro 5 and 6. I would use those for metal tone. That free Djent amp from Steve T is pretty good too as a template to build a rig off of. you'll need a good quality gate if you use his.
Subbed bro. This is an excellent template! I did something similar and used the same approach with the bass except i used the Ample Bass II lite vst. You've definitely inspired me to check out the mt powerkit again. Cheers man!
@@grimzee lol that's funny because I've wanted to try the acoustic one but never got around to it, but yeah! Highly recommend the ample bass II plugin dude!
If you're interested in making something 100% free, there's this guitar vst called metal gtx. It goes to a low G iirc, and while it may not be as good as odin, I'd argue it's comparable and really worth checking out.
Hey man! I just want to ask you if you use Cubase only or maybe you could do a similar video with Reaper too? And if not, which version of Cubase are you use here?
So there are some other libraries I think you should check out. Naked drums and zombass by wilkinson audio. The bass has 4 version and some even goes to drop A. The drum got some massive specs: Some yamaha recording kit and a joey jordison snare! That's nuts for free. They also got some sample drum and about 700 free irs. Definitely worth checking out.
The MT-Powerdrummer was the first plugin I got and I haven’t looked back. I started using the heavy metal drums from GGD but I still prefer the MT-PD over it
For free bases I would recommend the Wilkinson Audio Zombass line. I guess you need Kontakt but still excellent sounding basses for all genres for free.
Nice video! But where did you get that bass amp plugin? Cant find a Green Terror on the Internet. Probably im just being stupid, but it would be awesome if you told me how i can get it!
The use of the two drum plug-in "trickery" is genius, and I'll admit - way beyond where I'm at in my production skills. How did you replace MT Power Drummer's crashes with ML's, or were the midi cymbal parts actually performed separately (separate tracks)? I have both plug-ins, and think they are both excellent sounding free drum plug-ins. Overall what you've done here sounds amazing!
Personally for my mixes, I fuse the restrains kit from panda sound with the mt kit. The restrains kit got really fat kick, a splash and you can also boost the room on the snare to sound like a snare room. For the bass, I suggest hardy bass by oomind studio. Solid free bass vst fr.
Wait I'm confused at 3:10. You only overhead mics and ride mics for the cymbals in ML Drums, don't you basically have 2 overhead mic output tracks? One for the purpose of having a cymbals track, and one for being an overhead mic track?
I add air and dimension to my drums in the old days I'd use Cubase SX Quattro Fuzz/BBE sonic maximizer VST compressor/expander but now I would use Valhalla's main Reverb. Makes them sound massive if you have time to score I don't but if you do a good keylab from arturia and monster drums with a usb midi signal sounds really good! For bass I use solely R Bass from Waves Diamond. The reverb must look like steps and going up and then you need like a decent reverb selected. something massive. Something like toontrack EZDrummer is good to use as well especially the latest one.
Doing a low pass filter around 8-12khz can really cut out a lot of the fizziness. As for the hiss that could be coming from signal interference, try using a short guitar cable and make sure to use a noise gate
is there any way to program guitar? i dont really watch your content but im guessing you were running your guitar through that amp sim right? is there a way to program guitar like how people program drums?
@@grimzee Ok awesome, thank you! Also, I'm just so lost watching this video, how did you learn all this stuff? I feel like there's only so much I can teach myself.
Dude, that ML Drums room only snare doesn't sound like this at all when I try it. What am I missing? I just dial the mix fader of the snare down and the result is way off. Is the post processing that gives this huge room sound?
MT Power sounds not bad only in a tough mix, ML Drums free much, much better. As well there is Modo Drums free, and the greatest free drumkit is DS Drums free Mahogany Kit, it's also Kontakt Player compatible. If you have it, you nothing more!
This is so impressive. I'm going to be honest, I know what a compressor does and the theory behind it, but as to how to use it in practice? Way over my head.
You are getting a Cubase Project File that I’ve created with all the instruments set up and mixed so you can start writing! Along with a kick one shot, cab IR and instructions on how to set it up.
Not trying to be snappy but is it really 'free' if you're using 99/239/579 USD Cubase (depending on the version)? Mixing in Reaper would be considered 'free'
Your drums sound like they are clipping hard, dude. Or maybe you added gain? Not sure but It sounds like a mess to me. Oh you did add a ton of gain at the end with the GClip plugin. That's why it sounds like someone put their elbow on the master fader and accidentally added 12db lol. Cause it's brickwall limiting. Do modern Djent mixes use brickwall limiting? I thought this whole genre was about dynamics? Ghost notes and pretty little jazz chords that they steal from Alan Holdsworth. I don't know, maybe this is a style choice? But I think it sounds terrible. It sounds like the kick is in one room, snare is in both and cymbals are in another. It doesn't have cohesion. Wouldn't you rather have clear instrument separation? Rather than just a bunch of loudness? Perceived digital loudness and actual loudness are too different things. I dunno I don't like it.
@@tommyapocalypse6096 yea but this is geared towards recording real guitars, I just programmed them and converted the di’s to audio to save me from having to record them is all
The MT Power Drumkit samples are forever ingrained in my brain after using them for almost 10 years.
Same
Plug link
trust me it doesnt matter how long u use it as soon as u use it u cant unhear it in any song that has them
It’s so good.
When I used to use free bass plug-ins and pitch proof, I would do -12 semitones, but do like 70 percent wet because you still have the clarity of the original notes while getting that beefiness you want from the bass. As well as you still have most of the full sustain
Thats a great idea! Need to try that
I've been recommending MT Power kit as a free drum VST for years.. great little plugin.. nice mix.. great video
that midi trickery is a big brain move, nice one 🔥🔥
combing every free vst online and watching every youtube tutorial gives you god like powers
Layering free Drum samples is the way!
That's how I live as a poor musician lmao
@@LosingFaithMusic It be tough out here haha!
@@grimzee that it is
I used to....and it did work. But it was time consuming and took away from my work flow. Saving up for SD3 was the best decision I ever made.
I'm doing that now with mt drums and sitala but when I changed some settings in sitala it changed the settings in all my different projects
wow mind blowing sound bro
that free kit sounds killer
Thanks man!
Sounds killer for a FREE kit, but nowhere near the quality of a GOOD kit.
Wowser, nice job!!
I'm using the MT Powerkit all the time as well!
Thanks! Yea it’s such a good plugin!
MT power drums, those samples have haunted me for decades.
Also, Ignite Emissary and ML Drums are my favourites here.
Dude. I’ll pay for a lesson, teach me this !! I have Logic Pro but everything you did is what I’m looking to be able to do as a starting point for song writing
Yea man id love to teach you! Click the link in my bio to book a lesson or email me at info@grimzee.com
Nice job there Brian , Thx for the share..!!
Thanks Brian!
Great stuff!
Your drums and guitar sound killer. You should have used the Dingwall in the Modo and the bass needs to come up in the mix.
Thanks man! Unfortunately the Dingwall doesn't come with the free version, otherwise i totally would of haha
This was brilliant!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed
Good stuff dude, thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you !!! This is awesome.

@@grimzee lol that's funny because I've wanted to try the acoustic one but never got around to it, but yeah! Highly recommend the ample bass II plugin dude!

Awesome thanks for the tip man!
You should check out Monster Drums VST especially the RacikSuaraMetal preset.
Thank you. Drums sound amazing.
Hey man! I just want to ask you if you use Cubase only or maybe you could do a similar video with Reaper too? And if not, which version of Cubase are you use here?
God those drums sound so massive...bad ass man!!
Ehh thanks man!
try monster drums... i use them alot...

That is the built in bass amp that comes with cubase! It’s called vst bass amp
hmmm wasnt expecting that & it did not suck
You should also try chronos bass. It's a free 6str bass vst for kontakt, it got a huge range and really raw sound.
@@mih9176 Oh sweet I gotta check that out. Thanks for the recommendation

I have both plug-ins, and think they are both excellent sounding free drum plug-ins. Overall what you've done here sounds amazing!
Thanks man. Essentially I have 1 master midi track that is feeding both plugins (Mt power's shells and ML cymbals) hope this helps!

Ml drums is 20 bucks right now and its killer
Great plugin!
Where is the file he is talking about around 5:10 for the NadIR?
Sounds very Mick Gordon Like good job!
I love the guitar sounds. Which guitar did you use?❤
Also have you tried Krimh Drums Free? Haven't used it yet but the preview sounds pretty good
Yea I have the full version of Krimh and it is so sick for death metal type songs!
What do you use to make the guitar sound in the first place? Is it a stock guitar that comes with the DAW you use, or is it a VST or a sound-font?
I used a guitar VST called “The Odin 2” by solemn tones and then ran that through the free amp sim!
mt pwer drumkit 2 ! classic
Hell ya!!
Wait I'm confused at 3:10. You only overhead mics and ride mics for the cymbals in ML Drums, don't you basically have 2 overhead mic output tracks? One for the purpose of having a cymbals track, and one for being an overhead mic track?
Dude you are an Engineer(Hellraiser reference)!

I'd really like to grab that kick sample you are using in this!
Can you make a oneshot of the combined snare too?
Yea definitely! Thanks for the Suggestion
Which software is tha , is it tracktion 🤔
Cubase
Hey brother.
Are you taking production bookings?
Killer sound!
Hey Terry, yes I am!
Shoot me an email at info@grimzee.com
how do you avoid getting hiss or fizz when you make a tone with emissary, i'm unsure why but i always have this issue
Doing a low pass filter around 8-12khz can really cut out a lot of the fizziness. As for the hiss that could be coming from signal interference, try using a short guitar cable and make sure to use a noise gate
Hard to say I'd recommend either MT Power kit or ML Drums over the free SSD5.5 Kit.
That one sounds great as well! Love ssd
For metal stuff, Bogren Krimh Drums is where it's at!
@@PippPriss it doesn't allow you to route drums individually though does it?
@@PippPriss
Metal doesn't NEED great production, because it's more about the feels than the hears.
0:13 sounds like quake or doom lolololololololol
You somehow got the Preachcore Lives snare sound howwwww
Great stuff.
is there any way to program guitar? i dont really watch your content but im guessing you were running your guitar through that amp sim right? is there a way to program guitar like how people program drums?
Hey there, this seems awesome, but I'm very new to music production. Do these work in FL Studio?
Yea all of these plugins will work in FL Studio!
@@grimzee Ok awesome, thank you! Also, I'm just so lost watching this video, how did you learn all this stuff? I feel like there's only so much I can teach myself.
That´s a decent Djent Snippet
0’s and 1’s baby haha
Can you tell me how to use the "envelope shaper" in Reaper?
sick!
Dude, that ML Drums room only snare doesn't sound like this at all when I try it. What am I missing? I just dial the mix fader of the snare down and the result is way off. Is the post processing that gives this huge room sound?
the kick its a bit too much i would directly eq the mt kick into having mor low end thats what i do
I wonder how do you use guitar amp plugin when you dont have a guitar
hello can you guide me how to combine ML Drum and MTPD in FL Studio?
MT Power sounds not bad only in a tough mix, ML Drums free much, much better. As well there is Modo Drums free, and the greatest free drumkit is DS Drums free Mahogany Kit, it's also Kontakt Player compatible. If you have it, you nothing more!
Hi do you offer courses on VST production please ?
What software is this
@@Goatbloodband666 this is cubase pro 13!
This is so impressive. I'm going to be honest, I know what a compressor does and the theory behind it, but as to how to use it in practice? Way over my head.
Do you have some good free guitar VI? This is recorded right?
wait how do you get that guitar tone
The guitar tone was really simple. Just running them through ignite emissary amp (free) and doing a bit of eq after!
@@grimzee yeah i did follow eq and stuff but the nadir didnt have the sound
Does the MT come with Drum preset samples or do you have to play everything from a midi controller?
Im a total noob, what do you get if buying the template?
You are getting a Cubase Project File that I’ve created with all the instruments set up and mixed so you can start writing! Along with a kick one shot, cab IR and instructions on how to set it up.
Would this work on Ableton?
Can this work in fl
which works on fl studio ?
Not trying to be snappy but is it really 'free' if you're using 99/239/579 USD Cubase (depending on the version)? Mixing in Reaper would be considered 'free'
Nice

bomb!!!
created a masterpiece for fun

yeah but the guitar and audio interface cost money
If you're still using recorded guitars you're cheating
In this demo they are actually midi guitars as well 😂😂
@@grimzee oh. i wish i knew which it was

Well, you're in Cubase, right? You'd be surprised what's in there if you open your eyes to what you already bought and make the best of it! ;D
Definitely some great stuff that comes stock in Cubase, for me its just missing a high quality bass library!
@@grimzee True that! And MODO Bass is da bomb actually! :D
