@kilocharlie1100 3 месяца назад

Great video! Just want to add this for any newbies guitarists who want to make huge metal mixes - fix your drums first before you get into the guitar tones. In my experience first get an absolutely banging drum sound, a huge bass tone, and you're gonna sound massive no matter what the guitar tone is. Like, the drum tone is more important than the guitar tone overall in my opinion. I spent YEARS trying to make my mixes sound huge by tweaking guitars and it never worked. But then I started studying other tracks, experimenting with mix templates, drum libraries and presets, and stuff and then I realised - if your kick and snare are massive, there's a good fx chain on the master bus, and your bass is big as a rhino's arse - you really are sorted and then the guitars are like, the raw pasta and the drums and bass are the sauce. Good pasta is important but the sauce is what really makes it a dish. You can get away with having ok pasta if you have excellent sauce, not the other way around imo.

Idk whether I just have bad ears, terrible headphones (or both) but it's sometimes really difficult for me to discern the difference between the subtle tweaks he's making along the way to shape the overall tone. Stuff feels like magic ✨

@bassic6959 3 месяца назад

He is going very fast and also knows exactly what he is listening for so I wouldn't worry too much if you can't notice it. You can for sure train your ears more and your listening device makes a huge difference

@TheMirrorify 3 месяца назад

He's making subtle differences to an already good tone. When the amp is good to begin with only slight sculpting is needed. He's set this up pretty much exactly how I do my 5150 with a 10 band in the loop.

@Return2TheLiving 3 месяца назад

Look at this way he is doing things that individually change like 2-5% of the tone, and on its own that component can be hard discern but with years of messing around you notice them more and more but even so it’s such a small adjustment he is making. Then you take into account that he has made 10 different changes to different parameters and that all make a 2-5% difference it becomes a 20-50% difference than where you started. A good amp will sound decent with most things set to the middle position and really are there for fine adjustments in most cases.

@markusm4rk38 2 месяца назад

@maddyleaf 2 месяца назад

Hi Keyan, Love your vids, watched you for a couple of years now! I have a video idea/suggestion: Buy a cheap entry level guitar, test it in a mix with no changes and then upgrade it with new pickups, strings, nut (whatever you can to make it sound better) and then test it in a mix, and then test one of your premium guitars in a mix. I think a lot of people don't understand how much of the sound of a guitar is just a really good tone/mix and what a couple simple upgrades could do. In my opinion, a cheap guitar with sensible upgrades can sound just as good as a premium guitar and I'd love to see you test it out! Could be an S by Solar 7 string, the Jackson JS22-7, the Ibanez Gio GRG7221QA (Loved your video with this guitar), or whatever you want, could even by a 6 string. Just an idea, if it sounds dumb or you think your Gio video already covered this extensively enough, then that's fair. But would love to see it explored a bit more. Cheers!

Soldano looks different from mine.. The EQ is different and those two extra options on the main amp interface, 'transpose' and 'doubler'. What's up with that? Have they updated or something? Amazing guitar playing. Wish I knew how to do all that stuff. 👍🏻

@jimmymeinhart4265 2 месяца назад

The new Soldano X came out. It's a free update if you just have the original plugin. Transpose pitch shifts your guitar by semitones so you can play in different tunings, and the doubler is supposed to mimic the sound of a double-tracked guitar.

@Fiveash-Art 2 месяца назад

Maybe put a DI box between your guitar and the interface to control the level if your pickups are too hot. You shouldn't need a new interface

@1904vinny 2 месяца назад

Hey guys, i just got the Fortin Nameless Suite and tried to use Keyans Preset „The Tone“ for some Recording. Turns out i somehow have problems with the noisegate setting he is using.. it seems like its gripping so fast, that playing single-note lead riffs is not possible without losing a big piece of the sound. Can somebody explain to me, what the reason for this could be? I am using the scarlet 2i2 dialed in just so, that the input does not turn green. My guitar is an EC 1000 with emg 81 pickups. Thanks alot! Keep riffin🤘🏼

@silphv День назад

It could be technique or your guitar setup or both. Something's eating into your sustain more quickly than it does Keyan's basically. If you know your fretting technique isn't the issue you might have some fret buzz for example that you're losing energy to. Ideally fix that (if you've never carefully checked the evenness of fret heights on your neck before you might be surprised-you can lose a lot of sustain from a mild fret buzz that you can barely even hear-but it could also be the nut slot depth or neck relief if it's not set up properly). But a workaround in the meantime can be opening up the gate a bit more, or using a compressor pedal in front of the amp to get more sustain at the expense of some dynamics.
