metal production tutorial part 2 - the studio - ForTiorI

here´s part 2 of my in depth metal production tutorial with a studio run through.
people told me the background music in part 1 was a little loud but somehow i got the feeling now it´s too quite. feel free to comment and subscribe.
15:30 - what i say about room reverb and how i would treat it is not entirely correct. in that way you would treat room mods (direct and reflective frequencies that meet up in your room and become nulled).
so what i mention is not the best way to treat reverb. just an FYI.
joeyshoelace corrected me through got-djent.com.

Hey man, i run my podx3 live through a carvin power amp and an orange 2 x 12. Do you have any suggestions in terms of mic choice and cab simulation (do you turn it off when playing through amps)... and anything else that might be important. I just find my tone really squeeky and harsh. my band is escapistofficial . com ... (was recording on axe tho)

@Noahguitar if you record with a real cab you don´t need cab simulation or IR´s. just get a good mic - the shure SM57 is a very good standard model - find a nice placement on the speaker, get a mixer to plug the mic into and you should be good to go. you can watch part 3 to see how i use IR´s. i don´t have a real amp or cab so i´m bound to the digital world.

Cool, i have near zero latency but i think that's because i'm listening monitor our from my POD HD. I'm also using my POD as a soundcard, so any other output doesn't come out except through the pod. I saw the part 3 video, but i'm not sure how i can silence the regular output of my POD and make it so where i can use the 'monitor' function on my DAW. This is obviously for impulse use lol.

@XeroJager i tryed using my ASIO pod x3 drivers and doing the same thing as in part 3 but that wont work. you´ll always have the original signal without cab impulses coming through.

What sound difference is there when you record from the Live out from the USB out?

[MojoJojo378]

@XeroJager with the usb you don´t get extra noise created in the cabel going to your computer. through the usb connection your signal is also being send in digital format to your computer instead of analog but you barely hear a difference. i record with the live outs cause than i can use ASIO4ALL for less latencies (watch part 3 for that). if you use the usb connection you also need to use the ASIOpodx3 driver, which has higher latencies.

Poulin preamps <3 I got that tip from you a long time ago - cheers! I'll be watching through the whole series, and probably posting it on the Obliteration forums. Thanks for taking the time for this!

love you videos man, thanks!

[XeroJager]

@MojoJojo378 I figured it out, in the ASIO Settings for the POD, there IS an option to turn the monitoring level of the POD output down so you can enable it back in the DAW. I can use impulses freely now :)

i know the secret tone is in the trashcan..
