That bass sound is of epic proportions. I mean I love the guitar sounds, but the bass is what seems to make the mix gigantic! Any tips on creating that as well? Really nice Eclipse by the way.
I don’t understand, what are you doing for this clarity of tone? Every possible thing I’ve tried in Bias Fx there’s still a hissing/fizzy type of sound.
High and low pass filter + looking for dirty frequencies and removing them. Look tutorials on how to eq guitars. This fizzyness is completely normal due to distortion and has to be removed. Btw use ownhammers ir cabs. The sound is 100 times better than with these digital sounding standard cabs
@@kevrem984 Tight playing helps alot :D There is no other way :D Is ti just me of bias fx 2 is taking alot more cpu? if i put dual amps i get ove 60% cpu usage, i have i7 7700k...
Two things I want to ask 1) Running two cabs with that amount of gain, how can you get such a clean tone? If I try this i'll only hear noise 2) I noticed the threshold really high on your gate. Aren't losing like, all your sustain?
Sick tones, man! That high gain EL34 amp is one of my favs! I blend it with a Mark V for my Lamb of God presets \m/ Thanks for showing all of us how to dial in tones like this, especially the EQs
After my comment, I decided to spend some time and came up with what I believe to be the closest tone of the first riff. I've uploaded to ToneCloud, so if anyone is interested to check it out, go to ToneCloud and search for "Bogner (Josh Middleton Inspired)".
When i use those settings i only get crunchy sound, nothing similar to this tone... Im using Focusrite scarlett 2i2 and Epiphone LP custom... Can somone help me?
Hey Josh i think this the first time i hear you playing in D and C tuning. Any plans on writting in these tunings or do you prefer E standard instead for Sylosis.
Noob question, but what kind of process does one go through to get from what's heard around 3:17 to the finished product? I'm trying to learn how to record, but I am lost on how to get from a sound like that, where it's kind of unclear and distant, to the clear, full sound of the final product, even after mixing. Does it have to do with mastering?
Nice tone and gear! Hi I plan to use BiasFX via iPad, then output to headphones- any recommendation where to put the volume pedal? If i` plan to put in the end (after interface) before headphone, it means I should get a Low impedance type (keyboards), and not the High impedance (guitars).. am I correct? Thanks!
I wanna know what bias/mix settings he exactly used for the riff from 0:58 on...damn that sound though I guess the bass and the drum mix is more than essential to that overall guitar sound. What do you guys think?
+Human_Ghost69 They are killer live man,I was lucky to see them in Saskatoon with Trivium and Devildriver. They crashed their RV not too long after. I feel for all the people that didn't get to see them on the rest of that tour. Only time they ripped through Canada.
I've been wanting to get my hands on the Focusrite scarlett 18i20 for quite some time now. Any one who would recommend it? Compared to presonus or anything like it in that mid-price range?
How are you and other people getting these tones?? with these amps like with the Treadplate and the HG EL34 with my LTD mh-400 EMG 57 going through a Focusrite 2i4 im getting a REALLY muffled sound with them.
Hey man! Even I am getting extremely muffled, dark, thin and lifeless tone using scarlett solo 2nd gen. I tried so many different plugins and I worked so hard to dial in a usable tone. But it always sounds muffled and bad in so many different ways that I cannot put in words. Did you finally find a good tone? What is the problem, if you found ?
I wonder how his tone is soooo clean,yet so heavy. It bugs the hell out of me! I have a noise gate and it doesn't sound like this. Even my pickups are good but still!
are you having any issues with latency? A friend of mine couldn't use bias fx on reaper or cubase no matter what settings he used. He even upgraded is RAM memory and bought a new processor for his computer and it was still pretty much unusable
+Douglas Tykö Which interface is he using?I've used Bias FX pro on Windows 7 and 8.1 in Reaper no problem,with a couple of interfaces and even a Yamaha PR-XLR with the onboard audio.
I have scarlett solo 2nd gen. even with me, everything sounds muffled and horrible. Just doesn't sounds like it's supposed to. Have you find the cause and possibly the solution?
I own the same interface scarlett 18i20 and for some reason the sound I get with my guitar (Ibanez rg320 with dimarzio pickups) is too bassy, boxy and lacks highs. I tried 3 different guitars with different pickups and the result is the same. It sounds just like my old m audio fast track pro.
Hey man! I face exactly the same problem. I have focusrite scarlett solo 2nd gen and it sounds so bad. I can't get usable tone using ANY amp sim plugin. It sounds too much bassy, dark, thin and horrible. As if something is wrong with it. I just can't get any solution or answer, why is that.. Did you find any answer or a good tone?
hey Josh do you know how to fix the audio latency, when I play my guitar the audio comes out the speakers miliseconds later, I have the same bias fx and I'm using a beehringer guitar link if you know how to fix this please help me
its the guitar link prolly, get a better interface. the only thing you can try is to adjust the buffer, this is usually the problem, but if your interface is only 16 bit you will still get some latency \
I used to experience REALLY bad latency, and discovered it was due to not having updated my ASIO4ALL to the latest version. I have 0 latency since then.
It’s just me or nobody else have seen that huge EQ at the end of the chain, on the 3:30 mark, that he didn’t explain anything about it?! That must be doing something really magically. Of course that there’s the hands and other things but I’ve copied that exact settings and tried with both passive and active pickups and the sound I get is way weaker and way different in various ways from what’s heard here. I really wish he could explain in fine details what he’s doing. Apart from that, awesome riff at the beginning of the vid. Freaking heavy!

It can sound damn near just as good. Of course it's not the same as the real thing. But it is still good enough to record an album, that being you bias a good amp or amps to use and tweak the EQ well enough.
+Chaotic Massacre, amp sims may sound good, but it's a very, very rare cases. Really good sounding amp sims are expensive as real thing. I play with software amp sims for 6 years and still can't get a tone I'd like, but getting closer and closer.
I get sound latency while using focusrite scarlett solo with bias fx even with the sample rate and the buffer at the minimum.....someone please help...Thanks
@@adalbertusignatius4967 ok, good ! And is it not important latency to play guitar with this interface + plugin + monitoring speakers ? The quality is good ? Thanks a lot !
@@jonathandancoine7150I have the focusrite 2i2 and an audient id14. Soundwise I prefer the focusrite. The buffer size I set to 128, where I cant feel any latency and samples up to 96k. So I guess the quality is great.
I love how you just seem to shit out killer fucking riffs like it's no big deal
That new Eclipse looks utterly sick,Josh. Glad to see a new video after such a long time.
Will you upload these to the tonecloud? Would LOVE to play around with these tones!

HarderFaster this!!! Yes please! I can’t get Bias fx to sound nothing but crackly sounding no matter what I do
I second that request
The return of the riff god!
Nice to see you in a video again Josh!
Loved the video Josh. Stoked you made another one. Those were some mint tones.
One of the best riffs I have heard in quite some time.
why everything you play sounds so awesome!? you're the guy, josh! cheers from Colombia
Been using Bias for a few months now and absolutely love it! It would be awesome if you could upload some of your tones to the tone cloud Josh! :)
I can't understand if this focusrite sounds better than focusrite scarlett 2i4 with Bias FX
First I've seen of your vid's. Very nice, I especially like your feel and dark groovy vibe I hear in your playing, I absolutely love it!
Cant wait for your Solo Album with Reynolds!
Sick heavy tones! And riffs!
Just listened to the beginning of this video for the 3rd time! I fuck'n love that tight heavy epic riff and the awesome bite of the Amps suunds!!!!

Is DI Box enough? i don't have budget for audio interface, DI Box is cheaper in my country.
please do a video demonstrating how you go about mixing, that would be great!!
Hey Josh i think this the first time i hear you playing in D and C tuning. Any plans on writting in these tunings or do you prefer E standard instead for Sylosis.
Hey due when are you releasing your solo album, and where can I purchase it? Would love to support your awesome talent.

Tones are strong AF. What are the pickups? EMG's with chrome covers?
The riffs are killer, but it seems like overall it's just a tad muddy in the low end. Is that because of UA-cam, or do you prefer bass heavy mixes?
I think bass heavy mixes, last album was also really bass heavy

Ok so my output redlines on practically every metal amp I use on bias fx. Anyone know what could be causing it?
Just saying, Sylosis is top on my fav and I want to see y'all one day.

What is the problem, if you found ?

Did you get this tone with metal expansion pack of bias fx?
what song was playing at 1:19. that was epic. the second song
Are you giving away / selling the bias tones?

You can see that he's not using as much gain as it sounds like.
Properly EQ'd guitar tone + Good bass and drum sound is what make this sounds heavy..

For anyone who has used BIAS, how bad is the latency? I've heard some people say its pretty severe.

Latency about 5ms right here with shitty ass laptop and asio4all. Works fine!
