How To Get a Killer Metal Guitar Tone - Sound Like the Pros in Minutes!

An in depth video explaining one of the easiest ways to get a brutal "wall of guitar" sound in your recordings. The secret? = Using an impulse loader and utilizing multi-track recording. Watch to find out how!

(Let me know if the link ever gets broken and I'll fix it ASAP).

Bass tutorial will be up at some point next week so check back then!

Most songs used in this video are songs I mixed from my band using the same technique to mix guitars as I teach in this video. They as well use Solo C and Poulin LeCab plug-ins for their tone.

Now here's some mumbo jumbo I have to say about this video.

There are no hard rules that apply to mixing, only general guidelines to follow. Some people might be like "This sounds like shit! You cut too much mids!" Whereas other people might be drooling over this tone. The most important thing in the end is to make sure that each instrument and kit piece has it's own frequency range which it can dominate and be heard in the mix. Focusing too much on the guitar tone and not enough on the bass tone can ruin your mix. Believe it or not, metal guitars sound really deep and thunderous because of the bass guitar. Electric guitars by themselves sound incredibly thin and airy without it.

This video should serve as a general guideline as to how you can get monstrous metal guitar tones for free, there's so much flexibility in what YOU can do! I threw these tones together in minutes, usually I spend days working in tones that I like!

Goodluck, and happy mixing!
