This song is an INCREDIBLE one to dig into on a multitrack level. Why? There's a lot less going on in the instruments than you think there is...
And there's a lot MORE going on in the vocals and vocal production than you think there is!
The guitars are a masterpiece of simplistic tonal layering that while basic, is profound in the impact!
The drums are dry and hard hitting... Not the sampled precision playing you hear in lots of imitators. And the song isn't recorded to a click track!
And the vocals! WOW... The amount of layering and different tons and vocal approaches in even a short section of this song is mind-blowing. Let's dig in!

Yo, Chris! Could you make a take on Brendan Yate's vocals (vocalist from turnstile)? His vocals sound very aggressive and unique, it would be cool to watch you unveil his technique
These are amazing, I’d honestly pay to see this done in a lot more slipknot songs, the way that slipknot has the ability to layer small things, tiny things into a masterpiece that you could never truly get unless you watch this is amazing
The negative One is a great one to analyse
i have a question : how have you this ( musique with every track )
Studying music production and it’s insane to me how simple these tracks are. Imperfections executed so perfectly
Agreed!
keep in mind these are stemmed out
It would be awesome if you could ever get Corey into your studio for an interview and maybe a lesson. Imagine if he could track over some instrumentals and explain his approach throughout the years and how and why his scream changed.
I would geek so hard over this I would watch a 2 hour thing.
I love the tempo change throughout the song. Like I never notice it until I get to the final chorus but assumed that it was an intentional “the last chorus is x times faster to add more intensity” but it’s even cooler knowing it’s a natural progression
Listen to Left Behind on Iowa
the most amazing thing about this album is that Rick Rubin has never done so much.
so that's really raw and slipknot just played everything at the same level because they were trusting that the producer would be the right work
Rick Beato did an awesome video on this song too.
Love the vocal work and all the layers.
But OH EM GEE the DRUMMING. Joey was an absolute legend. And the engineering on all the instrument tracks, the sounds are phenomenal.
As an amateur recording my own songs, I aspire to this (and karnivool too...)
Speaking of karnivool, if you could get ahold of something from Sound Awake that would be incredible. Ian Kenny's vocals are light and huge at the same time
I also enjoy the slightly non-unison unison vocal at 11:57, so cool
Love this song and loved the analysis, thanks for this!
Fantastic song! one of my favourites actually... That breakdown in the middle with Corey's vocals is just gold in my opinion.. So good!
Sweet! Looking forward to this one!
Totally awesome and so interersting. Thank you 🔥🙌
I could feel it before, but hearing you now dissect everything just points out how the layering of elements, especially the vocals (with different vocal registers) is so important. This kind of production amazes me and I love it. Thanks for covering this song @chrisliepe ;)
I'm a massive Slipknot fan and I came across your videos breaking down these songs, and it honestly gives me a better appreciation for the music and the songs. Especially that last section of the song with the groan, I have never heard that in the song before!
Corey quit drinking during the making of this album. He said he wanted to try new things and while I believe him I also think his Iowa style of vocals just weren't sustainable (at least with his technique). He even re-recorded his pre-sober vocals for this album.
It seems there's a lot of production help with his grit / distorted vocals. I don't think the tour for this album went too great as far as his vocal health went either. That's not to take away from the work he did throw down. It's excellent and interesting.
I'm glad he figured it out and got the help he needed with his voice (I think he had some lessons with Melissa Cross). He's definitely a power house of a singer / metal vocalist / frontman. One of the best.
I really like his singing is not super clean in this, the imperfection just makes it more intense in my opinion. He sounds like he was eating gravel for breakfast and dinner, I love it. I really don't mind when singers go to extremes while recording, might not be the healthiest thing but you are capturing a moment sealed in time so why not go bonkers with it?
I totally agree! Its fine and good to push yourself and be extra creative and risky in the studio!
just was relistening Slipknot and there is my friend Chris deconstructing this. Love it. Thank you for your great and hard work , really appreciated , Chris . Piece ^^
That.was.awesome.
Awesome!!!
My favourite song
I absolutely love these videos, I even get very useful tips as a guitarist out of them besides vocal tips. I grew up a bedroom guitarist, so now that i'm getting to the part of my life where i want to start recording, I'm used to throwing in a bunch of mid and trying to get an excellent tone. But that just simply doesn't work in a mix, showing the fuzz and dingyness of these tones individually and then combining them to get a giant sound is really useful.
Killer track! I was surprised how many nuances were in the track when I saw Rick Beato's analysis on the song, and I learned even more from this
Wow this is fascinating I had no idea they recorded this without using a click track and little things they added in throughout the song I never knew were there. Very cool!
I was expecting a lot of interesting little details and I was not disappointed!
thank god you're covering slipknot, i love your insight into music :))
More to come!
There's 2 guitarist, each guitar on one side of the stereo track. Exemple: Mick on Left and Jim on Right. They both have different setup.
Very interesting analyse video! Great!👍
Glad you liked it!
I actually like the live version more in the chorus, because Corey added a change in pitch on “before I could sta-and” that’s even different from the one he does in the last chorus in the studio version. Loved hearing that for the first time (live at download festival)
Hey Chris! I would love to see you breakdown Bert McCracken's voice from the band The Used
Awesome video! I love these. I would love to see some more KoRn songs done like this. I would love to see you analyze Eaten up inside by KoRn the vocals are amazing stems aren’t too hard to find.
Great suggestion!
🔥🔥🔥
Like I mentioned on "Your Short"... really looking forward to dive deeper into this video with you recoriding and mixing it, in the 365! :-)
This video looks amazing I wish I liked Slipknot so I could get into it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would be amazing to get the hand on the unmixed vocals to hear clearly all the separate voices!
Thank for this cool video, glad to see more slipknot!
That would be cool!
@@chrisliepe I have some for Linkin Park, but found nothing regarding Slipknot :(
Ohh I was very excited to see your mix result. It looks so good. Did you post it somewhere?
It can be the voice of Shawn or Chris on backing vocals, percussionists often sing along with Corey.
Yeah only one of, if not the best, drummers ever!
Definitely recorded some vocal parts with monitors in the room, creating a kind of room/atmosphere effect
More of these videos reverse engineering the stems, please! They are awesome!!! So many stems sites out there with stuff ripped from RockBand and Guitar Hero, this series could keep going forever! I can attest that your analysis (and opinions) is providing a lot of value to the hobbyist mixer and hobbyist players/singers out there 🙂
Please don't stop! I'd love to see some Iron Maiden, Metallica and other metal classics too! Cheers
Thanks for following and enjoying! Ya, I wish this stuff was out there when I was learning!! SO much to absorb and be inspired by!!
Hi Chris
Nice video, as usual !!
One quesiton, do you have a begginers course for people who wants to start singing, in which you touch the fundamentals of singing, as breathing, resonance, modulation, etc?
Or in the Screaming course you see all of that?
Cheers!
this is such a great series, where did you get all this studio files, so good. :) *Edit: 24:20 sick remake of the vocals, I enjoyed the whole video so much.
I have a friend who has access to all of them :)
Chris it's amazing how you can break this down! I'm slowly staring to understand what is being used where and why but I'm still struggling try to make the pieces fall together in my own music. Do you have any recommendations to study for song building/structure?
Join me next month for my Ear Builder course! (this month is range builder) www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/sing-together-365-experience
16:47 That kinda Santa I wanna to see on Christmass xD
Some more great closed captioning in this one! Someone needs to start the band Twisted Little Lindas.
Hahaha
Where did you find this multitrack?
I think Shawn and Chris were also doubling the "I..." bits in the chorus in the recording making it more of a "wall of sound" explosion
please make a video breaking down Labrinth’s “still don’t know my name” 😭😭😭😭😭😭⭐️⭐️⭐️ it is SOOOOOOO GOOD
Hey Chris!, How do you find these Logic Pro projects?
23:13 i understand you😂
I haven't really tried it out, but there is another global tracks option in Logic (as well as tempo which you are already using) called beat mapping. Maybe that could help to sort out the tempo anomaly? I'm not sure though. Another possibility could be mapping out the time signature used. I haven't tried counting along with this to check if it is standard 4/4 or not so it's probably not that. Also, Logic's smart tempo detection isn't always 100% reliable and you may have to adjust the beat markers or in the edit option in Smart Tempo. It is also possible to remove the original recording tempo and analyse again. I intend to do that if I get a project deliberately set at an incorrect recording tempo at uni to test us, but I'm probably overthinking that haha. Sometimes Melodyne can be better at detecting tempos.
Smart Tempo is what I used to get what you see in this video, I just didn't adjust before making the video I agree... not that accurate sometimes, but Beat Mapping is more robust for sure!
Please try and do vermillion by slipknot that song is an actual masterpiece
Love your videos! But I wonder, how you always get these multitracks.
I think he mentioned something about a Guitar Hero game where he got it from in an older video :D
Corey Taylor liked it.
He did?
Massive compression on the drums that’s it
great video! do you know exactly how the guitars are panned in regards to the direct track vs the amped tracks? like where in the stereo spectrum everything is placed?
Usually 20-30% each direction, in some cases more.
Any link for the software you use? thanks
Any DAW will do. I use pro tools and logic
where can you get those separated tracks at ?? I really want to study some songs
20:32 🧨
Chris, where did you learn so much about studio engineering and production? Did you go to a school like Full Sail?
I went to school in Denver CO for Music Industry Studies with an emphasis in Technology :)
@@chrisliepe Well, you certainly learned a lot! I bet that school is proud of what you've accomplished. They should be.
I feel dirty listening to original Slipknot Multitracks. I couldn't do it. We are not worthy.
how did you get all the separate tracks?
21:00 is swimming in headphone bleed.
Damn! Where do you get all this stuff!? XD
I've got a friend who has a stash of them :)
I absoluetely hate tempo mapping. Is there a chance you can export your tempo map? Please? :D
Smart Tempo in Logic does this in seconds!! That’s how I did it. No beat mapping necessary :)
Hey is there a way us just listeners could get our hands on the vocals only. Is there a way to just hear vocals similar to ur backing music video?
You can search for it on UA-cam and there are several videos with just the vocals only to this song.
@@chrisliepe yhea but for the songs that dont have vocals on yt? Like alot of stone sour ones for exmpl?
@@aov666 Ya, I don't know... I just do google/youtube searches until I find something that works... for these multitracks, I get them from a friend that works at a studio I used to work at.
a friend told me this years ago. "record your band playing and then try measuring the tempo, you'll hear (and see) that the tempo increases on choruses naturally, etc" sick sh!t! also, how did you track the tempo? did you do it by hand or had the daw do it?
Logic will do it for you :)
hey Chris witch DAW do you use?
Logic and Pro Tools
@@chrisliepe pk thank you
Comment for da algorithm
Streak count: 166
No way the Drums aint live,,, it was Joey!
I have a question, how can we know they didn’t use click on the recordings of the first 3 records ?
If you look at the tempo map of the song, you can see they were not consistent enough to play with a click. maybe they did click in with one?
Anyone have a link to where I can get these stems?
Chris you monster, you like my comment but dont hit me with the stems 😭😭 Nah jk love you bro, but where the stems at forreal 👀
He said in another comment that a friend of his gave him access to this stems. Probably not available for the general public
Definitely not sampled! The kick has a gate on it, could be the dbx gate, or the navy gate... Damnit can't relented the name of it, used it a bunch but I'm old and shit. Hate all grid music now, especially their new album.... sounds like ass!
And then you have the new boring, uninspired snooze fest called the new Slipknot album.
genius
