Psychos of reddit, help me make an argent metal tone
I would like to start with "I have no idea what on earth I am doing," along with "let's use only free stuff for the sake of it."
I have:
Shreddage Stratus Free
Shreddage Precision
Guitar Rig 7
OTT
Ozone 12 EQ
riffs; i dont need help with music theory. this is strictly about the guitar tone
the will to learn how on earth to work a guitar amp like a guitarist, not like a guitourist, which I currently am
As far as I know, that is basically all I need. I can get real close to something I'm happy with, but there's one problem. All the sound comes out super muddy. Every time I make the sound heavier, it gets muddier. I can get super heavy sounds that sound like they're played underwater, and cleaner, open sounds, but no combination of the two.
What I don't have:
Any method of detuning, which is obviously a problem with a 6-string
education; i am not stupid, i just don't know
I have discovered that I can use the built-in shreddage pitchbend value, automate that and slam it down, keep it there, and that basically acts like a detune. I also know that reverb kills the sound, so i reduce it way down, but keep a little
I also want this to be kinda fun, so throw funny ideas at me if you have any. lets try some crazy stuff too, because why not. maybe it'll sound cool, maybe it'll sound like deep fried nickleback, maybe it'll sound like a wood chipper. it can't sound any worse than what I already have going, absolutely anything helps out.
Thank you for reading, thank you for commenting if you did.
