Your end result came out nicely. Very raw, unpolished. I guess btw that you know of Dev Gohil? Of all the black metal youtubers I think he must have the most theoretical knowledge of black metal.
Cheers.I was pleased with the result seeing as it took less than an hour from beginning to end. 🙂 Yes, I know of Dev "he of the massively long fingers*" Gohil though haven't watched him for a while...I'll revisit as I agree Dev (and Simon Smith) are good for theoretical knowledge which I lack, as well as technique. * not joking; his finger length is probably longer than my entire hand.😮
@@joolz666 Yeah, Dev often shows off techniques which involve many frets between each note. Makes things harder. All in all good British teachers of black metal.
Hello, again, Joolz. I don't know how much of the history of black metal you're aware of, but trve kvlt BM generally uses the quickest, and cheapest, methods of getting a sound. One example is using headphones as a microphone, if you plug headphones into the input of your amp and talking into them, you'll hear yourself coming out of the speaker. The crappier, Pound Shoppier the equipment, the better. I just found your channel, I love watching people learn music, and I'm enjoying your vlog videos a lot. I make effect pedals, would it be possible to make you one and have it arrive to you? I'm in Ireland, so a PO Box or some other method would be needed.
Sorry for the delay in replying. Yeah, I know a bit about BM and also remember the (affordable) equipment we had back in the late 80's/early 90's which was generally a bit crap. I haven't tried the headphone-amp-speaker technique (a later video?); I did try the jumper over the microphone, but it just came out the same as a windscreen or pop filter rather than brutal and evil.😕 Happy you're enjoying my videos. As for the pedal, that would be cool, but as I'm in Australia, the postage would be prohibitively expensive $$$$$$$$$. Might be best to try and find someone a little closer to Ireland.
Depends how I feel. For this I just used the blast beat midi from the black metal Ugritone pack. Sometimes I programme the drums myself using a midi keyboard (and then have to correct my timing😄), and for both I often will add or delete bits - a cymbal here, a tom there, and cut midi files in places and then put together for what I want. The drums are *always* the first thing I do, otherwise it all turns out messier than usual.😏
@@joolz666 That's pretty much my method that I use too. I always felt guilty for copy/pasting preexisting midis but if it comes out nicely, who worries too much.
I think of it as a way of learning: 1) to play in time, 2) to see what drums/cymbals go where and when, 3) what happens if I take bits out/add bits. Also, it stops my "drummer" having five arms when playing. :-D
