#139 - Writing/Recording A Neoclassical METAL Song In 15 MINUTES
🕑 Added 2020-12-18 14:00:04 +0000 UTCTime for your next wishlist topic! You voted for writing/recording/mixing a metal song as fast as possible - and on the extra voting in the inner circle Facebook group, you voted for the style of neoclassical metal :)
This was so much fun to do, I hope you enjoy this quick breakdown of my recording routine! Let me know if we should continue this series or if we should explore writing/recording/mixing some more in the future. I'll add it to the wishlist from now on!
You can download the tabs and guitar pro files of the entire arrangement below, I also made sure to add 2 backing tracks (one without the solos, one without all guitars). Happy neoclassical shredding!

What software are you using for this?

I agree! More recording and writing lessons would be totally rad!
Christophe
I use an Eleven rack (quite cheap sounds great) as a sound card via usb and record in ableton live as DAW.
Paul Gibson
Thanks bernth just one more question can I turn this into like a 1 1V V neoclassical piece would it sound ok
Wilhelm Glomm
Great video - thanks! More videos related to dealing with DAWs and the recording process would be much appreciated as well.
Bernd Brodträger
I used a Kemper profiler and just went straight into my Scarlett 2i2 USB interface :)

All based around E minor/E harmonic minor - yes, transposing or re-writing/arranging would be a great workout for sure! :)
Flo
Great video, very instructive ! Thanks :) !!
Paul Gibson
What key is this in all the parts are in the same key I guess ? Can transpose it into a different key. I guess the idea is for us to recreate this using recording software. Great track thanks
Lord Rockinghamm
Very cool. Love to see a new idea on the channel! I Thanks!
Pierre Forsell
very inspiring video Bernth! any Cubase recording tips and tricks like this is pure gold and very welcome. i'm often intimidated/stifled by Cubase/DAWs in general and this helps a ton.
Martin Westreicher
Your sound is so amazing! I am blown away....i hope to reach that level someday
Steve Shaw
Thanks also for your help, merry christmas

Hey Bernth, awesome video. How were you actually routing your guitar signal? Through an amp with a cab sim and direct out, or were you using any amp/cab sim plugins in your DAW?
Exactly what Paul said, thats what I do too. I also have Amplitube 4 with the Orange & Joe Satriani's packages.
Steve Shaw
Thanks for that, it give me an idea of what I need, you have been really helpful, cheers and Merry Christmas.

I maybe started the home recording like a year ago and boy is it a game changer. Buy the scarlet 2i2 interface. Super easy to use. look on amazon and you can prob by it in a pack with a couple cables and mics etc. My only piece of advice is invest in a DAW that doesn't come with it. I didn't feel ableton lite or pro tools (first) were that great. You can get a licence for reaper for 60 bucks or do what i did and signed up for regular protools. i absolutley love it and its changed my writing process for the better. Also bought the andy james guitar plugins and the GGD invasion kit(the one Benth is using in the video)
Steve Shaw
That was amazing in a short space of time, just wish I knew how to connect my guitar to the computer, I am not tech savvy. what do most basic players use as a connection to their computer?????

Really interesting! I want more of this type of content in addition to the already awesome exercise content.

Great video. I just started doing some recording at home and I am hoping to, some day, be able to navigate through the process as quickly as you. Thanks for taking the time to create a super helpful example of how quickly it can be done.
I hate you ;). I say that with the utmost jealousy. You created something cool in such a short amount of time! I guess my biggest problem is programming the drums (And sucking at guitar and timing). I too have ggd invasion along with other packs complimenting it along with a midi controller. I'd like to see content like this more often as you can explain and put, basically, several of your lessons to work. Did you use a midi controller or just your actual keyboard to program the drums. Might sound a bit silly to ask but any tips in the area of drum programming. Thank for your video. Since I discovered your lessons you've been a massive inspiration to actively practice my guitar skills. \m/

Bernth, can you come to my house and help me set up my studio equipment so I can record like you do and then teach me how to use it all? I realized it's not that I can't play guitar; it's that I don't know how to make it sound good.
