    How to get an old school black metal tone that doesn't suck?

    I'm going for something akin to what you'd hear on an early Immortal, Dissection, or Inquisition album. Nothing raw/lofi/necro/other buzzwords, and nothing too tight/modern/mid focused. Just a nice old school black metal tone that doesn't sound like it was recorded with a dildo and two toasters...

    Help!!! How's this metal tone? I don't know what good tone sounds like.

    I ain't no guitar playa. I'm a drummer, metal drummer. Yes. Also a classical drummer, and many other genres. But METAL is my specialty. I'm on the journey to find a good recorded metal tone. But I don't know what I'm doing. Lol. Help me with advice, tips, suggestions, corrections...

    Unique Metal Tone in the Next Gen.

    Hello! This is my first post, so please do let me know if this belongs in another forum. How many of you have worked with/listened to a band that actually had a unique tone? I've found it extraordinarily difficult to find any sort of new sounds in this day and age, and was curious on your...

    I'm setting off on an adventure of attempting to catch some metal tones for a new music pack I'm producing. Im pairing an Engl Thunder 50 with a Mesa 1x12. With an SM57 picking up the monster tones I'll be shredding. Im going to experiment with a Reistifier pedal made by R3FX. What does it...

    Opeth - Heir Apparent | guitar / instrumental cover | Fractal FM3

    This is my first project using the Fractal FM3. I 've used the Friedman amp. However, there are also two quiet guitars at 80% panning which are recorded using a real EVH5153 with Fredman Catharsis impulse response. The Les Paul is loaded with Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz. I 've used...

    Nile guitar tone with IRs?

    Haha! It seems I'm now bombing this forum with my questions almost every day. Straight to the point: Are there any Nile (Annihilation of the Wicked, Those Whom the Gods Detest or What Should not be Unearthed) guitar impulse responses online to download? Some people make those impulses...

    Massive Nile guitar tone

    Hi, Neil! I've been mixing one death metal album for quite a while now and I just can't find the brutal "chunky" sound that I'm looking for. There are few things that I've always wanted to ask you. Almost every engineer always say that you shouldn't scoop your mids from the amp when recording...
