WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Creating Static-X’s Signature Drum Sound
If you’re a Static-X fan, you’ll know that Ken Jay’s drumsound is one in a million.
It’s a massive, mechanical, almost robotic sound, which incorporates all of the elements we love about live drum performances at the same time.
In this course, Ulrich shows you how to achieve this sound step by step, and provides you with the samples you need in order to do so.
Learn how to seamlessly create midi tracks from live recordings, discover how to set up and manipulate samplers, and how to tie them in with live drums for a massive, 3-dimensional mix.
Achieve Massive Guitar & Bass Tones Using Amp Sims
When you first heard Xero’s, Koichi’s and Tony’s skull-bending guitar and bass tones on the Regeneration Vol. 1 album … would you ever have guessed that they are all created completely in the box using amp sims?
I sure as hell wouldn’t have. – But they are!
Ulrich shows you how to use ampsims and distortion plugins to their fullest potential and create unique guitar and bass tones that will blow people’s minds.
Without spending a dime on Cabs and Amps!
In addition, you’ll learn Ulrichs philosophy behind finding the perfect tones for a song, and discover how to create multiple different tones that blend perfectly with each other.
It’s never easy to find complementary heavy guitar tones, but Ulrich has perfected this craft and you’ll be able to learn from a true master! Once you open up the multitracks, you’ll see what I mean …
Mix Wayne Static Vocals
It would probably be inappropriate to accredit Wayne’s amazing vocal tone to a sound engineer.
In all honesty: Wayne is simply a beast. And he’ll probably sound good no matter which plugin chain you use on him.
However, Ulrich reveals his go-to processing chains and effects which Wayne himself appreciated the most.
You’ll be free to take Wayne’s vocals into completely new directions, or go with the tried and true sound characteristic for the band!
Take Your Songs To A New Dimension
For ‘Hallow’, Xero and Koichi have programmed electro parts that many Electro-producers would be jealous of.
Seriously, just the electronic parts in ‘Hallow’ on their own would have made an amazing song!
However, how do you find space for them in a dense Metal song?
Having been Static-X’s main producer for many years, Ulrich has figured out a solution.
Discover how to use electronic elements to add new levels of energy and excitement to your song, without taking away from the aggression of the guitars and drums.
Create A Competitive, Final Mix
Whether you are mastering your own mixes, or you simply want to add the final glue and polish to you song:
Mix bus processing is something that most mixers will have to master at some point.
Ulrich shows you how to apply multistage compression and limiting to take your mix to a competitive loudness, without killing the dynamics and energy of the song.
Download Static-X Multitracks & Mix ‘Hollow’ Yourself
With this course, you’ll recice ALL original multitracks of ‘Hollow’, so you can mix this amazing song yourself.
This session also includes a Snare sample of Static X’s classic ‘Start a War’ album.
In addition, we’re providing Ulrich’s Logic X session, as well as Screenshots of the exact plugin settings Ulrich used to create Xero’s, Koichi’s and Tony’s skull-crushing guitar and bass tones. – So you can easily recreate these tones and use them on your own productions if youi choose to do so!

What people are saying about Ulrich’s courses:
Vocals being the king of the song, it was always tricky for me to get them right – especially when you have multiple stacks of heavy guitars. It really helped to see Ulrich break down their vocal chains step by step and explain the thought process behind mixing vocals in detail. By following the techniques I’ve learned from this course my vocals are sounding a lot more polished and professional.
Amos Y., Engineer
For a long time I struggled to get everything to and sit well together in a dense mix, however after watching this tutorial I identified he problem areas in my mixes and I was able to go back and fix them. My confidence has grown leaps and bounds as a mixer.
After only a few months of being a Pro Mix student, my mixes are sounding much better and far more professional. The songs have grown my portfolio and I’m finding more and more work as a mixer.
