Epic!!! Gary I remember when you had about 1k subscribers and have witnessed you put in the work and put out awesome content time and time again. This guy deserves sooo much more recognition
I’ve been using the JMP for years because of Stef’s influence. A recommendation for people who really want to go for the overall total sound, Steven Slate makes a Terry Date drum sample library that uses the exact snare from White Pony. Sounds fantastic out of the box.
Yeah thats the drum kit I used for this. I actually sgould of mentioned that. So its the Slate Drums. And then I used Slate trigger which has the Deftones snare sample.
How are you gonna so casually and humbly crack the code to their sound so well? This is great. The guitar tone and bass tone seem to be spot-on, I think the OG band members might notice super slight things but to my ear if I didn't know this was not the band I'd hear the instrumental and think it was really them. Vocal effect chain and singing combined really nailed it, I think you've got the closest to how they run the vocals for their albums of everyone I've seen trying to imitate the band.
Thank you for the amazing comment. I guess I've been studying the Deftones sound for like the last 25 years. And it was great to finally put all that info into a video :)
Your vocal chain sounds great. I’m getting collective soul mixed with smashing pumpkins from your actual singing. Which isn’t Chino but is still pretty cool to me!
Thanks so much for this video. I managed to get a guitar really recently and would like to play some deftones stuff so this is a god send. I wanted to ask if you had a video of recording guitars for beginners ? I keep getting this really hissy sound of noise and I am really really relying on my noise gate. I think that your explanation style is phenomenal and would really appreciate a video if there isn't one.
This is the sound I have always chased after, for better or worse. You got pretty close, nicely done! Looking at this I am reminded I do not need a 7 string, every time I am about to get one I have to remind myself I don't need one. Have you tried the JMP-1 sim from Nembrini? It's called the JMP Pro if I remember correctly. Would be great to see you comparing them to each other and see which one can get closer to the actual tone.
