How to Create Your Perfect Metal Guitar Tone | Metal Recording Basics in Cubase

This Kemper costs 2k, Is there another way to get a sound like this but without a kemper.
Thank you for sharing, great work!

“One mistake a lot of guitar players make is scooping the mids.”
Proceeds to set mids at zero.

why you recording 2 R and 2 L guitar

You have a KEMPER and a DAW and you couldn't be arsed to record the direct out of the kemper and just used your voice-over mic? Unbelievable.

what if the tone is a little boxy, does that mean theres too much mids or is it just the tone of the amp/distortion pedal..im using a revv g3, i like the tone better when the mids is at around 12o'clock(or a little less)..when its at 1-2o'clock it sounds boxy..or is it necessary to have a tiny bit of boxyness so you will be heard better in a mix..thanks!!
i used to scoop out a lot of the mids when i was a beginner because it sounds really great when im just in my room and i remember one gig, no matter how high the volume of my amp is, i cant hear my guitar!!😅 i dont want to make that mistake again..

Do you ever add any reverb to heavy guitars? And (if yes) what is your approach for (very) fast heavy music styles?

Did you record guitar paths four times, or once and copied and reamped by Kemper ?

Thank you, very interesting video! I started to use Amplitube as plug in of Cubase. Do you know if it is possible to make Amplitude to receive program change from cubase (I can’t manage to do that). many thanks!

Ok, you got me by naming aborted! Great video! ❤

What drums do you use here?

How long does it take to know the program as well as you? I bought cubase today and just would to know how long i approximately need to have no problems anymore with cubase. (Sorry for my English I’m from Germany)

hi dude, just curious, i have a 6 string i want to tune to drop B orA , which gauge strings do you use on your 6 ?.....

This is exactly what im looking for. Thanks a lot for your guide man. Will try make my guitar tone more wide as you did in this video. Cheers

This is a BADASS tone!

This is super informative. I love it. I’ve been playing and recording guitar for 16 years or so and this is still so informative

This is great! I wish I had found this video sooner. Quick question. I don't have the metal amps or the room to record them so I'm using the amp sims in Cubase 12 Pro. Have you ever done any recording this way and if so, have you made a video showing how to get the best results?

That EVH <3

Mendel is amazing ❤️❤️

Amazing sound!

Fantastic video!
I’m new to Cubase, what EQ plug are you using? Those I have only let me adjust low and high frequency cut off plus two more correction points, so I couldn’t do that final adjustment you did.

How to create the best tone: Own a Kemper.

felt honoured to get this video to 666 likes :D
Tight video man, been playing metal for ages, but always great to be reminded of my bad habits! hahaha
Thanks so much!

What is that thing you use looks cool

Man I don't know how you don't hear that harsh crash hat on the right. Everything is pro - kemper, guitar, quad tracking, compressing palm mutes, whistle eq, but total ignore of that crisp crash hat.

What is that beautiful guitar you are playing?

what you use on your drums??

I’m having a problem
The pluggings don’t work ?) I don’t know how to explain it, but whenever I put a plugging I have a clean tone and not the plugging sound

hai bro.. if use focusrite solo interface.. it can get sound guitar like that? and what name of guitar amp u used it in this video. tq

How to Create Your Perfect Metal Guitar Tone? .... Buy a Kemper.. lol

Awesome video!

Great Sound but I do have a question. I do notice quite a few guitar recording sound like it was recorded in a professional studio. Is it necessary get the final mix sent to a professional studio?

So everything is in stereo?

Great video, thanks heaps!

One question regarding Cubase (maybe someone else knows the answer). Does this trick with selecting a few tracks, then creating a group track and auto-assigning the selected tracks to the new group track also work in Cubase 9? I really hate assigning them all by hand... Thank you :)

I just bought a kemper because of this awesome tutorial

Hello Mendel! Great tutorial and great riff! On which of ur recordings can I find it? Thank you very much!

Excellent.

Thank for the video. I'm not sure...are you playing the riff 4 times (1 per track)..or only 2 ( 1 per amp)??

Hi Mendel, what's the gadget you're using with a pen called? Looks like something that's very convenient to have.

How to create your perfect guitar tone: get a kemper

Awesome video! Congratulations! Can you make a video How to reamp with kemper and cubase settings? Thanks

Amazing tips. It's never too much to remind us to deal correctly with the amount of gain in the recordings. It's so important!! Amazing guitar sound! Thanks!

OK. You're getting nice, smooth highs. My Kemper, when monitoring live, sounds great. When recorded, the highs are rather unsatisfactory, as in brittle and harsh. Any suggestions? Thanks.

i just came across your videos i or should i say we our band, track most of our guitars pretty much the same way but i do use both an evh3 tube a and guitar sims...you give some great advice to these young guys coming up keep up the good work you are a master

Mendel....That is an awesome tutorial. Curious who's profiles you started with for the 5150 and the Mesa

Hi Mendel, May i ask whay do you think of axe fx III? its really hard to decide which one is better for my homestudiyo...

Thanks

Great tutorial video! Short, to the point, good speed. Thank you! Very helpful. Keep going indeed.

Good job!!!

What Kemper Profiles are these?

thanks for the great work, may i ask why dont you set R/L full istead of R95-R85 and L95-L85 and some latency can work around -+ 5ms?
