*NEW* Djent Tutorial 2.0

[ConnorGilks]

Any chance of you doing one of these same tutorials but for Mac users? I know very few people who actually record on PC these days (at least in Vancouver) and would kill for a tutorial on that. That being said I'm sure I could find plugins that would be close to this same idea, but coming from you might be more accurate to the tones in this video.

[ConnorGilks]

Thanks so much man. I applied these techniques to my own rig (with a real amp, pedals etc.) for recording and it sounds HUGE in the mix. With a few tweaks of my own needed of course... Anywho, cheers man I really appreciate this.

[TwentyfourFrets]

and how do i redord with this fx chain?

[Thrashman1990]

@TwentyfourFrets You load this as FX(effects) on a recording track in your DAW(Reaper, Logic, ProTools etc..)

I might do a recording tutorial later on, this might be helpful to tie the loose ends together from this one haha!

[TwentyfourFrets]

@Thrashman1990 i did this but how do i have to record this? i mean like unprocessed guitar sound etc. you know what i mean? otherwise you have awesome videos!

[Thrashman1990]

@TwentyfourFrets It will record itself as an unprocessed track - but as long as you have the effects enabled it will sound like it should.

[DirtyMustache79]

I enjoyed this video for its conedic quality. I'm new to the world of the "djent." I'm wondering if you might put a video together about getting a nice djenty tone for playing live. I'm currently using a Peavey Vypyr tube 120 and I'm getting an Agile 727 7 string soon. Thanks a bunch.

[Thrashman1990]

@DirtyMustache79 I could! The basics are the same though, but since "live" means LOUD, some tweaks might have to be done and this is more personal taste rather than a 'general rule of thumb' so to speak.

I will investigate into the possibilities of doing this further!

[DgibsHardstyle]

This tone is fucking beast. I love the way it sounds, its perfect. It uses more processing power than anything I've ever seen though. If you load up 4 tracks of this tone playing simultaneously your computer might blow up lol

[AnimalRepellent]

good turtorial. But i think the tone needs more substance. I would activate 2 more channels in paulin, add some bottom + a compressor to make it tight

[Thrashman1990]

@AnimalRepellent You are right about the Poulin simulator, though I figured this was better left to the viewer as my computer suffered a crash some days prior and couldn't handle much more than that haha!

[MrJohnnyPetey]

Djentlemen HAHAHAHA!

[YTserrsch]

reducing about 200-250Hz is like the worst choice for a metal/djent guitar

[Thrashman1990]

@YTserrsch No.

[Snarizard]

youre a fucking genius.

[SteeleMiles1]

Can you get a djent sound on the Pod Gx Studio with pod farm?

[ARamisciouSA]

Is there anyway to get this to work on pod farm?

[JaredCreations]

how can I get this tone on pod farm? So nice! great work!

[cowgoesmoow]

could use more bass in the 75-125Hz range and a slight cut at 8-10k. too trebely imo

[Tromath]

just so you know, these plugins don't work for mac. thank you for showing me this concept though. I'm sure it can be applied with different FX as well?

[Thrashman1990]

@Tromath I figured, since mac works with RTAS right? I'm sure there are Mac-friendly versions aswell and I will update the bundle if I find them, been too lazy that's all!

Yes, I would think so. This is just one way of doing it but the procedure is the same. Different amps will sound and react differently though so you have to use your ears.

[Tromath]

@Thrashman1990 yeah man. see, the best tone I've ever got was actually recorded with my own amp and cab miced up. I'm trying to figure out the digital tone for recordings because i know it's easier to work with, but i just can't get it. lol

[svenlk]

everytime i go to extract the .dll files to the fx folder in reaper it say there corrupted, help anyone? im having a bit of trouble

[Belgdor]

What program are you using to record?

[Thrashman1990]

@Belgdor Reaper.

[Linqua2112]

could you elaborate a bit on how exactly you get the "impossible" tightness but uninterrupted sustain in setting up the two noise gates?

[Thrashman1990]

@Linqua2112 See, you use two gates, with a compressor before the first one and an overdrive after it, following another gate(compressor>gate>overdrive­>gate)

You set the compressor and first gate so that the gate closes hard and fast with the compressor "teasing" it into opening, the overdrive adds tightness and midrange bite to your tone, and the gate after that one is set up in a similar fashion, but perhaps a little harder.

[DgibsHardstyle]

Great fuckin work bro this tone is pretty sick I'm definitely going to use it on my bands new project.

[rhythmkeeper009]

Misha's so happy.

[lavastrat]

Hey man,

Nice video, just started using reaper a few weeks ago.

I followed your instructions, but when i hit record it says its automated, and it will record but iwont be able to play it back? :(

[Thrashman1990]

@lavastrat OIh yes you will, there is a monitor button to the right if you make the recording track a little wider in the left column. !

[CrossPain11]

Dialed in this tone, recorded a small clip. Then I played through my 5150 and it sounded surprisingly similar.

[scottyburry]

im having trouble getting a signal from my configured ux2 by only using the loaded plugin's in my DAW. im using ableton 8.2.2

what might i be doing wrong?

[BaSs4cE11]

how do u get to that fx track window?

[NatheSinfield]

@Thrashman1990 Just put a video up using them plugins and tweaking slightly. I sent it as a video response aswell mate. I hope you like it!

[fruxelot]

Can you please tell me the exact values of the 4band eq? thus only 1 setting of the dots are shown.

thanks :)

[JookVA]

can i just use the compressors and noise gates off of podfarm?

[Thrashman1990]

@JookVA No, you can not. At least not for this tone that is shown in the video.

[1jacobdarling]

Can someone help me? Im using Cubase 5. I need help with everything. i have WinRAR. idk where to extract it because i could find the folder for the FX and I Extracted to where I thought it had the FX and they came up as errors

[ray625164]

The plugin isn't working for me!:(

It just shows up as a Rar file and Idk where to put it.

I have cakewalk music creator 6.

but the file doesn't seem to do anything?

[Thrashman1990]

@ray625164 You have to open the .rar file with "winrar" and extract all of the files(except the folder that is named guitarhacks impulses) into the folder of cakewalk where your plugins go!

[Guitarfanman]

one piece of advice: try out God's Cabs instead, they're a lot better (in my opinion) otherwise great tutorial once again! :)

[xALLIGATOxSNAPZx]

@Thrashman1990 'If you use PC, it is located in C:/ > Programs > REAPER > Plugins > FX'. I go to reaper and theres no plugins folder in there, im confused as ahaha sorry

[Thrashman1990]

@xALLIGATOxSNAPZx The FX folder is where the .dll file goes, you are alreadu in the plugin folder bro!

[NatheSinfield]

Thanks for this upload man. I tried it out the other day and sounds wicked! I'm gonna be uploading a track using that tone soon =]

[Thrashman1990]

@NatheSinfield Glad you liked it, toss me a link when you've got a video up!

[Thrashman1990]

@VisionaryPat As said in the video, I'm using a telecaster guitar with an EMG 85 bridge pickup!

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

I don't understand the gates and the lowpass.  What vst did you use for them?

[Thrashman1990]

@ArtificialFlavaFTB2 Standard ones that come with "Reaper".

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

@Thrashman1990 Aw man. Would I be able to use a vst called GreenGate for the gates? What would I set the settings to?

[Thrashman1990]

@ArtificialFlavaFTB2 Sure thing, if GreenGates is a noise gate plugin! Check the tutorial for my settings. You can toy around on your own aswell to see what happens when you play.

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Got uX2 and pod farm for Xmas. Installing right now. yessss

[pdxfix503]

are u using a ux2 still?

[Thrashman1990]

@pdxfix503 I am still using the same line6 software as I did on the last tutorial, yes! You don't need a Line6 device at all for this though. Any type of sound card will work.

[08Jay80]

What drums software is that? If it is software lol

[Thrashman1990]

@08Jay80 Superior Drummer 2.0

[08Jay80]

@Thrashman1990 That's the nicest sounding software but i don't want to spend out like £150 but then don't want to torrent it coz its never as good :/ lol

[Thrashman1990]

@08Jay80 What? All of this is free. You don't have to pay anything to acquire this sound.

[08Jay80]

@Thrashman1990 Really ? How come ? I googled superior drummer for the prices and it said £150 ? :/

[Thrashman1990]

@08Jay80 Ah, you mean superior drummer. Yes, that's gonna cost you, but the djent tone in the demo will not. My bad - I mixed things up! Sorry!

[08Jay80]

@Thrashman1990 No problem, cheers for the help, and Nice video too bro

[JimmyMaiden93]

Hänger inte med, vilken mapp skall jag klistra in filerna i??

[Thrashman1990]

@JimmyMaiden93 Använder du reaper? Isåfall så citerar jag mig själv i en tidigare kommentar!

"If you use PC, it is located in C:/ > Programs > REAPER > Plugins > FX(This is where they should be moved to)"

[Matthiasknorke]

what recording software did you use in the video?

[Thrashman1990]

@Matthiasknorke Reaper.

[Thrashman1990]

@Matthiasknorke I upgrade as soon as there is a new version available - but you don't really need to. This will work on ANY version.

[zachkc1993]

I got it all in there. Sounds pretty good. Real good, better than what I was doing.

Buti 'm not able to use the Toneport UX2 settings and all that, am I? I'm new to all of this, I had my setup on podfarm, and then I went and did this and at first it sounded like crap. Then I put the output as a drytone (but still was able to hear my podfarm effects like normal) just when it went into REAPER it was a clean tone until I hit all the effects (Which then gave it the sound you advertised.)

[Thrashman1990]

@zachkc1993 You can still use your toneport as an input for your guitar. Actually, you have to do this if you don't have another external sound card. You should not open gearbox or PODfarm at all, just open your Recording software and select your toneport as a recording input under preferences.

Cheers!

[zachkc1993]

@Thrashman1990 I did it the way you said without opening podfarm and all that. It sound garbly and I couldn't hear a monitor, so I turned the track monitors on and it had latency .. lol :/ so did I do it wrong or something?

[Thrashman1990]

@zachkc1993 No, what you must have missed is to choose ASIO drivers in the preferences menu! The topmost slider menu. This is a must because the POD and other Line6 hardware uses ASIO.

[zachkc1993]

@Thrashman1990 Switched it to ASIO and it is still having latency issues D:

[Thrashman1990]

@zachkc1993 Mess around with the asio drivers! Sometimes, changing sapler rate and using lower bit rates will greatly decrease latency! So, mess around with those and you will find a solution that removes most if not all of the latency for sure. I did - and I'm using an ancient computer!

[AWFAMOfficial]

Does it work with Cubase or Protools?

[Thrashman1990]

@AWFAMOfficial It works with pretty much every recording software that can run VST effects!

[vannimal2]

what recording software did it say to use? i couldn't understand it. it also didn't work with audacity. great tone btw.

[Thrashman1990]

@vannimal2 Oh, I'm using Reaper(available for free at reaper.fm) Sorry for this!

[vannimal2]

@Thrashman1990 how do i get the plugins inside reaper? sorry for all the questions

[Thrashman1990]

@vannimal2 You have to move the .dll files from the bundle that I provided you with to the FX folder. If you use PC, it is located in C:/ > Programs > REAPER > Plugins > FX(This is where they should be moved to)

Then you will need to open reaper, make a new track, press the fx-button on that track and in the list choose the plugins that you need.

Hope this helped!

[ms20tube]

i love that tone

[TechcoreIsSexy]

thanks a lot for your tutorial!!.. in the tone test is just a single track or is double tracked?. sounds great!

[Thrashman1990]

@TechcoreIsSexy It is a single guitar track!
