Great video, you certainly pointed out some things I didn't know about, namely the NAM stuff, so now I have something new to go play with, nice one.

I can also recommend the Facebook group "Neural Amp Modeler (NAM)". Over 18k members and growing very rapidly, including some "big players" in plugin dev field giving freebies every now and then 🙂

Oh the KZread algorithm finally recommended me a fellow Linux metal musician! although i run my plugins with yabridge and most of them are not foss... Non the less great song and video 🤝

The metal mix sounds just as capable if not better than some mixes I've heard in Mac/PC using a lot more $$ invested.

Thanks! The tools are all there. It's just matter of learning how mixing is supposed to be done. I'm sure a professional mixing engineer would do still much better with these than amateur-me 😉

Nice work, and I'm glad that github NAM model repository I put together is still getting some use! Speaking of NAM models, having hung around the discord and NAM facebook whilst tonehunt was being developed, I can assure you there's nothing nefarious going on with user accounts / user signon. It helps the end user, because then you're able to do things like follow certain capture creators and so on, and it helps the admins because they have to make sure people aren't uploading captures that would violate TOS of other companies (eg captures of amp sims like Neural DSP, or captures from modellers like Quad Cortex or Kemper). Up until relatively recently, the tonehunt source code itself was open source.

I kind of expected that you'd need an account already to download them, so having a registration/login without requiring it is actually a bit confusing 😅

I actually cut that stupid babbling about Tonehunt login. I should have scripted that part as it really didn't come out with the respect it should have been. I'll be making better video about ToneHunt once I get into capturing some models myself first :)

I use it constantly. I have paid plugins that work on Linux, but I made NAM captures of my actual gear that I use alongside that plugin for double and quad tracking.

Great video, will be implementing some of these, though not a metal artist, many of these will transfer over to my blues work and workflow. Thanks for share this!

Hyvää settiä ja hyvä miksaus! Ardour ja pitkälti samoihin plugareihin/paketteihin itsekkin päätyny tässä vuosien saatossa. Hydrogenin tilalla Drumgizmo ja lisukkeena vielä Dragonfly reverb, jossa nyt tuskin suurempia eroja noiden muiden pakettien kaikuihin, mutta kerran tottuneena ni ei pääse irti 🙂.

Excellent info. Thanks.

Last I knew, Ardour used an antiquated library for their widgets. GTK. Not GTK plus but, old-fashioned GTK. That makes them a Knogo for me because I use software that relies on at-spi which is the accessibility framework on Linux. Literally drove me away from the operating system. These days, I use reaper. Works good on windows, if you can believe it.

Nice tools, I can't believe that some people spend money on fab filter and other shit like this

Thanks for your videos,I am a fellow Linux+Ardour user. I am curious, why you use Hydrogen and then transfer the midi+mix to Ardour? Wouldn't it be better to write the drum part directly in Ardour using DrumGizmo (in this way you have more direct control on the final drum mix)?

I simply like Hydrogen better for drum pattern creation than Ardour. It's especially fast when riffing with guitar and quickly drafting some beats to complement the riff. I don't always use it like that as I tend to switch between doing patterns and playing live using e-drums, but I just want to stay in one context and mix even when swapping my production methods. When doing Hydrogen patterns, I export them as Midi to Ardour. When I play e-drums, I record that directly to Ardour as midi. In both cases I still route the Midi from Ardour to Hydrogen and back to Ardour as audio, so I get the same samples and mix from kit I have loaded in Hydrogen. So, I use its mixer to do the mixing of drums against everything else in Ardour. And when I'm ready to export my song, I just need to remember to record the drums as audio first. Until that point I still have full control on everything. Btw, Hydrogen could also fan out all the samples to separate outputs tracks like DrumGizmo does, but I just don't need that level of detail in my drum mixes (yet). Also with DrumGizmo sets you need to control the bleeding sounds etc exactly like when recording real drums and I'm just not that good. Having "pure" sounds as samples is just easier :) DrumGizmo is still the one recommended by pros to my knowledge.

@@SudoMetalStudio Thanks, I am gonna try your production method for drums...definitely Hydrogen looks better for pattern creation (for me doing it in Ardour Midi edit is a chore) and I like the idea to have a less cluttered DAW because all the drums are dealt with in another application. By the way, I play guitar and I am involved in a rock/metal project, so your channel is a godsend.

what version of Ardour are you using? I 've moved to 8 and now Calf plugins don't work, they apparently haven't been maintained for ages 😞, it's a shame because I really liked them, plenty of alternatives available but I did like Calf

While the Calf plugins look really nice, their DSP isn't particularly good and there are some issues with how their UI embeds into other hosts with clashing library versions. They give the impression of looking very professional, but in their actual usage I would not recommend them any more.
