What You’ll Learn
A Reliable System To Create Massive Rock/Metal Tones
If you’ve been playing and recording for a while, you’ll know that creating massive guitar tones is not easy.
From guitar and pickup selection, to pedals, amps and cabs, all the way to microphone choice and placement. There are so many variables which all interact with each other!
So what is the best order to go about shaping your tone?
Kristian covers this question in detail, and shows you a reliable workflow to create new sounds that fit your production, as well as the style of the song.
No matter if you’re looking for chunky rhythm guitars, skull-crushing leads or clean sounds: You’ll discover how to establish a vision for your sound, and put together all the pieces of the puzzle to achieve it.
The best part?
This process will work for you, even if you are mainly using amp sims and impulse responses!
Bring Your Musical Vision To Life
Even though there are plenty of examples given in this course, it is not a copy-paste formula which will have you rip-off tones that already exist. Instead, you will learn how to master your own equipment to express your taste and style in music.
How?
By understanding how each component in your signal chain influences your sound and bringing structure into the guitar tone madness. Kohle calls this ‘Creating a tone-matrix’.
Once you’ve completed this process, you’ll not only be able to create unique new tones quickly, but your recordings will sound so good that you hardly have to tweak them in the mix.
Craft A Wide Variety Of Tones (Modern Metal, Vintage Rock, Death Metal)
What is the perfect Rock/Metal guitar tone?
That depends on your production, the song, and the style of your band!
To give you a head start, this course teaches you how to create a wide variety of tones, ranging from highly produced modern Metal, to vintage Hard Rock, all the way to brutal Death Metal!
By having these tones in your arsenal as starting points, you’ll be able to take your productions in any direction you want.
Master The Art Of Layering
Creating a great guitar sound is one thing. Crafting multiple parts, which work well together as a unit is a completely different ballgame.
Kohle teaches you how to switch up guitars, amps and cabs to create complementary tones, which will create a massiv, 3-dimensional soundstage, where each part has its own distinct space in the mix.
Say goodbye to washed out, messy layers, which suck the life out of your songs!
