I'm surprised the first artist you mentioned was Halsey. Her album badlands is amazing indeed. Very dark and alternative and that saw bass sounds spot on! Layering real drums with electronic sounds massive too. A bit slow but great video!
Bro I know you from October Ends! Your band is amazing and now hearing all these stems isolate makes me appreciate your work on a whole other level. Thanks for doing this video ❤
Dude if that NASTY bounce from the opening is what ‘October Ends,’ sounds like, and that’s coming from the same dude who does this channel? FUCKIN COUNT ME IN 🤝 Fuckin gas. I’m headed to Spotify right now to add them 🙌🏼 🥳
This is an amazing video. I can see that your music influences is very broad and that makes me hopeful that future metal bands will also stop being narrowminded and will be more open as to what can be described as metal.
Ngl I thought you were kinda rumbling at the beginning but it's only cause you're actually trying to give your knowledge and your way of thinking to the viewer. If you've got the time that's actually a really insightful video to watch. Thanks dude!
You seem very knowledgeable and I like how none of those riffs sound like you're trying to copy someone but at the same time you're using these artists solely as inspiration. Very well done mate!
yooo crazy random, I have been jamming October Ends a lot recently and then this video popped up.. had no clue that you were a part of it. Ironically I would describe your band as Wage War meets Memphis Mayfire and Starset LOL so I wasn't too far off of even what you describe your own sound like. You guys fuckin rock!
Really cool video! The guitars and riff also remind me of Bad Omens - The Death of peace of mind. If you listen the bad omens track at 2:41 you’ll see! Great video again!
awesome production man! maybe i missed it, but what did you use for the drums? was it a real kit or one/several libraries or a mix of both? they sound awesome!
@@NickMavromatis Basically the way I learned how to do music is watching and copying what my favourite artists and bands too. So ill always be looking out for "how to write a song like [band name]" or "how [song] from [band name] has been produced"!! Also love your band! Became a fan sometime this year and im looking forward to the new stuff!
You got cool tones and the final song sounds sick. But instead of just playing the sounds, can you give some more insight into how you got them? Which guitars? Which amps? Which cabs? What's your bus processing? How do you keep the drums punchy? And so on. There's a lot left unsaid still.
I’m gonna start breaking down everything starting from the next episode :) Glad you enjoyed the final song. You should check out our whole record. This one is not even the best one! Would love to hear what you think
The music playback from your DAW was almost exclusively in mono during the video. Would've been nice to hear it in stereo when you were going through the guitars, guitars+bass, and the drums. Nice walkthrough, though!
11:30 Influences. That's actually how music evolves and keeps on living, with influences. And influences shall not come only from the same genre, as there's no meaning in musical genres to being kept pure blooded. No musical genre is even pure blooded, unless maybe if we look back at 30s jazz.
Some twat gave me shit for using midi guitars . I told him it sounds best in these unltrs low tunings . Glad to see my theory backed up . Awesome tutorial bro thank you . Gonna try adding synths behind the guitars . Are they hard left and right also ?
Bmth made this unusual song that sounds so different and epic, please can you do a video on how to recreate the sound, I think there using a bass and an 8 string but I’m not 100% sure the video is bmth made a new song post human 2 part three!!!!
Great video, man! Been working on a song kinda like this and I literally added octave guitar yesterday haha But now I'm really curious to layer in some guitar synths to the main riff as well. It sounds great in this song. Do you happen to know what was used?
Thanks man! Of course I do know what was used. I do all the sound design and synth sounds myself. I usually use a synth called Serum. Can do a tutorial on the sounds I use to layer the guitars if your comment gets enough thumbs up bro!
@@NickMavromatis Nice, dude. Yeah, Serum is great. Based on this vid, I messed around and made a big saw wave type joint to layer in with the guitars and it sounds awesome. Thanks for the inspiration, man! But yeah, everyone should totally upvote that comment so you can do a tutorial vid haha Cheers!
@@NickMavromatis stream the hell out of it! love it! I would like to see some tutorial how you create synth patches. to be honest there are many ones out there, but most of them are more for edm stuff and dont fit very well to modern metal. So I would love to see your synth patches and how you come up with ideas :)
i love the fact you run so much high end gear and here you sit with some cheap ass phillips headphones. only noticed cause i used similar pair and loved them so much i bought few of them and used them until they broke since they were all plastic but the sound range was very nice for the price was only 17 dollars?
Oh sorry bro you got it wrong 😂 should have explained that I guess. I only use these headphones for when I do videos like that. I never mix on them or anything. But I also use them for when I record vocals. For every other occasion I use my EVEs
Wow you have a good ear mate. The cymbals are indeed GGD modern and massive although I wasn't very happy with them. I switched after this album. Rest of the samples are blends of different libraries. Some are Superior Drummer, some are Native Instruments and some are GGD Matt Halpern / modern and massive.
@@NickMavromatis 16 true cores? Like, not 8 and 8 threads? And if you don't mind, what is the processor model? (You don't have to answer if you don't like)
I'm surprised that no one mentioned the music/audio is in MONO. This is just super disappointing and literally takes so much value away from this video. Please fix man!
@NickMavromatis yes it does...look man I'm not being a hater but facts are facts. For instance a mono saw bass and a stereo saw bass sits veeeery differently in a mix and the same goes for majority of the sounds. Stereo imaging is like the most important aspect in mixing.
@@jdmhbeats exactly! Strangers song for example . the ones who remember the well-forgotten old style sound will gain glory again. Not this shitty future digital metal
This is a nice video, I like the deconstruction of every single sound but I honestly HATE this sound. It sounds so muddy and sterile, no crisp cymbals, tons of synth and guitar layers, guitar sounds like it was recorded through a toaster, boring riffs, no bone chilling breakdowns, just soulless pop crap. I love old architects and some old bring me the horizon but they lost me, especially because of this sound.
