Important update for my supporters

Before we start, let me thank you for awesome feedback on new MMG. I didn't expect it to grow that fast, but that's Periphery I guess...

First of all, I'd wanted to let you know that MMG#31 is close to being complete. It will be dedicated to Alpha Wolf's latest album. We will working on guitar tones this week. The video should be there somewhere around 23 of August. So far I'm ...

MMG#30 (Periphery "Hail Stan" replica) coming out this friday

Hey guys

I'm here to let you know that MMG#30 will be up this Friday. I know it's been a long time since my last upload, but I faced some issues throughout the entire process. Because of the fact that I'm not the biggest fan of Periphery (not my type of music, though I appreciate the production) I spent several weeks in attempts to write catchy demo. It's based on MMG18/24 ideas, but of course this time it's different and I used to like it a lot (until approx. 200th audition lol). Afte...

Metal Mixing Guide #26 [Modern Punk Tone]

Sorry for not posting it earlier. I used to work on two guides at the same time. Next one will be Red before Black tone by Cannibal Corpse, it's almost done so it will be there soon. You might notice improved quality of video - it's because now I use RX580 graphics card, which means faster editing and pretty smooth screen capture (it has nothing to do with beating Baal's 2d ass, so it's all for work only, I don't play games). I'd wanted to give thanks for all your support guys, it wouldn't be po...

Metal Mixing Guide #25 [Architects tone]

Sorry for taking it so long guys, hope you will enjoy this one. I used to separate the archive to multiple parts because of current Patreon file size limit, so don't get confused with that. Huge thanks for all the support you guys gave to me within last 6 months of silence. I really appreciate it. MMG#26 will be posted within next 2 weeks, so stay tuned for that one. Right after (27) we'll go for Defiler's "Nematocera".

Metal Mixing Guide #24 [Modern Metal Tone]

Here is the new one guys. Have a wonderful 2018. I'll be back soon with some standalone processing models. Not gonna do videos on them, so it will be more like templates + text instructions on how to use them. Sorry for huge delay, I've spent a lot of time fixing this whole thing, sorting things out, writing texts, recording and all that stuff.

P.S.: I'm forced to separate the archive in order to fit 200mb upload limit. Second one includes only Reaper projects, rest remains in the first o...

Metal Mixing Guide #23 [BIGTRAIN Tone]

Hey guys. New guide here!

So we suffered little delay with this one. All because I was working not at one, but on two mixing guide at the same time. Within next 2-3 days I'll update cover test of MMG#24. On top of that I have several videos I wanted to release before started to work on Chronos, so new podcast will be presented soon as well. Thanks for all the support!

Metal Mixing Guide #22 [2DEAD2DIE Tone]

Because of 200mb limit - I used to separate the archives to multiple parts.  So inside of "Files Pack" - you will find templates and all the aditional stuff. "Raws" and "Stems" are separate file containers for heavy audio stuff. For same upload limit reason I used to shorten the audio from Drums Mix template (only left short parts as a reminder of audio placement). You can re-insert it using bounce from "Raws" archive.

P.S. I'm sorry for delay guys. It turned out to be way bigger wor...

MMG21 Teaser, Mastodon tones + some text inside

Hey guys

1st of all - here is the final teaser of upcomming guide. This one is (or at least it should be) replica of Pantera's "Far Beyond Driven" album based on song "Strength beyond strength". Those of you who checked previous post already know that I got pretty close results comparing to original reference. Unfortunately later I found out that guitars have too much of low-mids ringy freqs + overall mix sounded little bit too linear. You can check it out in the attached "MMG...

Reaper templates

I get fair amount of questions about other DAW templates for tutorials, for some reason most of y'all use Reaper if not Cubase. I understand that it can be huge problem to recreate my .cpr templates and catch all the details to get same sound, so right now I'm gonna go for trial version of Reaper and see if I can do it by myself for now. In 20-30 days I'll purchase full commercial license.  So starting from MMG19 - Reaper templates will become defaul addition to .cpr
