Not to say that it can't tear your face off with high gain tones - it was made for it. It just happens to do everything else just as wellBlending Amps For MASSIVE Sound | Aurora DSP Laboga Chainsaw Distortion #Laboga #FOGoLabogaOskar Wroniewicz2023-11-30 | Blending tones has become a big part of getting HUGE modern metal mix/masters with amp sims. Even with a not-so-modern genre like doom/stoner - it still appears to be the *special sauce* which can push your productions to the next level 🔥
In this project I used bx_rockergain combined with Aurora DSP Laboga Chainsaw Distortion, which turned out to be THE plugin to blend with different tones. The simple interface and gritty gain structure make it literally made for adding some rough edges to any sound, and surprisingly - for some ambient leads too
We definitely will take a look at using some of my new analog stuff in the very near future, so stay tuned for that...
/// MAIN POINTS ///
I. Get the rough tone (in solo) II. Fine-tune the amp settings and EQ (in context) - hear both ends of knob's range to find the sweetspot - pull up a frequency to hear what you're adjusting, then back off III. If any higher notes are poking out, use a fast-attack compressor with high frequencies boosted in the sidechain (API 2500 with "loud" detector setting for example)

Keywords: reaper, obs, record audio, loopback, rearoute, recording, template, tutorial, tipsBogren Digital Contest | MLC Subzero Edition // #bogrendigital #bogrencontestOskar Wroniewicz2023-09-12 | Have to say I'm pretty proud of this one, nothing complex guitar-wise but by far my best video and mixing work to date (much of the latter thanks to MLC Subzero plugin, honestly I've never been so confident with my guitar tones)
As for time based effects, there is of course reverb/delay on bells and overdub guitars, gated reverb on a snare (duh, it's 80s!) and phaser+reverb on the arp synth during the second riff
Hope you guys enjoy the dark synthwave vibes

My Instagram: ☞ instagram.com/oskarwroniewicz_Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone // Intro Guitar CoverOskar Wroniewicz2023-07-13 | Not a difficult riff, but a fun one. Getting the tone was also quite rewarding. Blended a few IRs, shaped the tone with @auroradsp EQ510 (dimebag tone = 1khz gone), fine-tuned further with a parametric eq and I think it got pretty close. Let me know what you guys think

Took many tries to get a half decent take, but it has to do it for now.

HUGE shoutout to Jason from JZIR for all the incredible work he does. The tone you hear is basically AHM5050 on stock settings with JZIR gojira wolf down the earth IR slapped on it. And you could just as well use any other, even free amp sim. Do yourself a favor and check this dude out.

My Instagram: ☞ instagram.com/oskarwroniewicz_Bogren Digital Contest | June 2023 // #bogrendigital #bogrencontestOskar Wroniewicz2023-06-25 | After working at McDonald's till 10pm here I am editing the video and uploading it to youtube at midnight 6 hours before deadline. Truly a last minute entry, isn't it?JST Toneforge Riff Contest | April 2023 // #toneforgeriffcontest #joeysturgistonesOskar Wroniewicz2023-04-30 | Interesting story for you music production folks: when mixing this entry I heard some nasty wistles around 3.6kHz in guitar tracks. Naturally I cut them, about 4dB at first. But I kept checking the mix on my smartphone and hearing them constantly, so by the end I cut about 10dB with different EQs, DSEQ3 (great Soothe alternative btw) and was still hearing them. Then I put on some reference tracks and... at this point I heard the wistles in them as well, so I added some of the 3.6kHz back and the guitar tone improved massively.
Moral of the story? Don't go too far cutting wistles. I guess.

Also the most fun you will ever have playing 001's on your low Z string.

Felt like hitting my head against a wall during mixing but at the end I'm quite happy. As long as you can be truly happy with your own mix that is. Can anyone relate?Cultifact Nasty Riffs Vol.2 | Contest Entry // #cultifactcontest #nastyriffs2Oskar Wroniewicz2022-12-11 | Huge thanks to Loki from Cultifact for making this contest. It really made me push myself to finally create and actually finish something, and I am super thankful for that. Despite some frustrations I had along the way it was a blast doing it. Good luck to all participants!
