I saw the bass first, and thought "Oops, wrong channel".
thicc riffers is what you should call your community from now on
Therapist: Nib's bass tone isn't real, it can't hurt you... Nib's bass tone: 0:35

Gravemakers and Gunslingers is my go-to sound check riff.

this makes me feel some Tesseract vibes with the scooped bass and stringy guitar tone. I really like this riff!!
Can't wait to see you play around with the GGD Brutal kit, we need a nasty sludgy Thick Riff Thursday!
I love how you always write these soul crushing riffs but your sound check go tos are some classic riffs!
Bro the ending with the time gap with the put in in reverse terry was next level 🤣🤣
My soundcheck riff is the riff Rabea Massaad played in the NDSP Soldano demo called “It Goes To Eleven” it’s just got everything
My sound check riff is No One Should Read This by Tallah lmao The cool groovy riff that goes bwow chicka bow chicka bwownow chick bwownownow chicka bwownownownownow
Go-to soundcheck riff is usually just chugs first so FOH can manage that, but then I''ll fuck around. If I know a riff that is either from one of my friends bands that's there I'll play that or something that might go over well with anyone watching.
My go-to soundcheck riff would be Jaded by Spiritbox. It's what I use to test guitars/tones.
I would love to see some videos about how you make your basic guitar tones for your drop tuned guitars! Your tones are crushing. Just found your channel. Keep it up. You’ve immediately become my favorite music, production and metal geek channel. God bless you.
Never knew we would get Nick doing an ATB Evergreen type riff😲😳😅
My sound check riff is the intro to Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr
this 9/8 is dope !
i always struggle writing riffs bass first so this is cool to see!! i would def be interested in seeing you tackling some dance gavin dance or stolas style instrumental where it’s 2 different lead guitar parts throughout a song?
SICK RIFFS BRO! ALSO YOU SHOULD POST MORE I NEED MORE NICK
that bass tone is brutal!
Unchained is such a fucking killer song
I used to soundcheck/ make ambient fillers in-between songs by playing lost woods and a couple other zelda melodies drenched in reverb/backwards loops.
My warm-up and sound check Riff is and always will be Rose of Sharyn
I just downloaded the free update! I'm usually not one for super distorted bass tones, even though I tune my Dingwall NG3 to drop E in my Djent band FloodGate, but this actually sounds pretty cool. When we play live, my bass sound check song is always Low by Wage War. I'm pretty sure it's either in drop F# or drop F originally but it still sounds killer. I also use NDSP Parallax live! (And my guitarists use the Fortin Namesless one!)
stage left guitar riff I will play the intro of backfire by thrown.
Dude I literally said "Limelight" in my head right before you did. Was not expecting that
Great video man..
Can you please share your mastering chain presets? Cool riff per usual, bro!
Reminds me of Ghost Iris on the half time groove section. Pretty sick. One of the more unique riffs I've seen on the channel.
Nick, please make your templates with waves studio rack so they could be used with any daw and you can offer that as a separate package with instructions for routing, thanks!
Banger episode, thank you
Great mix!!!
Soundcheck riff? Of Sins and Shadows by Symphony X for standard tunings. Are You Dead Yet by CoB for drop tunings.
reminds me of prayer position on Piii
Impressive!
My soundcheck riff is either "do not look down" by meshuggah or more recently ive been doing "the heretic prevails" by shadow of intent
My sound check riff for drop D is Everlong cuz that's an easy one. My sound check for drop c is stricken by disturbed
Sound crazy❤
Where are the new thick riff Sessions volume2?❤
My Sound check riff for drop d is higher by creed, get those cleans and the big chords in the same song
You brought up Kickstart my Heart being a soundcheck riff in a previous episode! I don't remember Unchained though 😅 My riff would likely end up being either Eyes Sewn Shut by Suicide Silence or Cry of Achilles by Alter Bridge. Both songs love to rise up to my head 😂
Slayed again
I NEED THAT BASS DROP SAMPLE
Honorably 🔥🤘
Happy new government to all my brits too!
My 10m old was just bouncin to this 😂🤙🏻
Groovy riff is mean af!!!
you should make an intervals inspired riff
Sound check riff is reptilian by converge or shed by title fight depends on what tuning I’m in
Sound check riffs. I'm a basic boy, cleans=Slow dancing in a burning room, High gain=Pour some sugar on me or suffocating under words of sorrow. Lead tone I just faf around in G.
Soundcheck is the first heavy riff from our set.
I don't really have a souncheck riff, but the first riff I normally go to is "build me up, break me down" - Dream Theater.

Great soundcheck riff to conjure all the nerds in the area
The Intro just bass and drums woulda been sick tho. Some kublai khan shit
Sound check tune: King Nothing, Metallica
Either bleed or an original song of my bands called terrible purpose
are you going to update your writing templates ever?
9:33 that is *NOT* what she said
Sound check for me has always been Slipknot’s Sulfur
"Bass is hard" yeah as a bass player it's an entirely different beast to play convincingly if it is not your regular weapon of choice.

How do people get these settings to sound good? If I even touch the high drive on my parallax settings, my tone becomes shrill and unusable
Do go back and edit the velocity for your drum hits after you finger drum it?
It would be the same to write the riff without that plugin
Are you just running this into Parallax (and the pre-Parallax processing) with your DI? I've got my bass running through a Tech21 Sans Amp RBI, targeting that Dustin Davidson tone, and putting Parallax after it just seemed to add distortion on top of distortion in a bad way. Didn't try sending a DI signal to it, though. Edit: oop! Turns out I can output both a processed and DI signal from the SansAmp. Time for some experimentation!

Parallax is a distortion/amp sim plugin on its own, the way you're doing it is like running a cab sim through an actual physical cab, it just doubles down on the filtering and everything. Try running a DI through it and I promise you wont be disappointed. If you want to add EQ and stuff then probably do it after the parallax so that you actually edit the affected signal (unless your bass has some annoying frequencies in which case you might wanna cut them out like Nick did here). Now if you want to capture your physical rig, since you're using a sansamp rbi just plug that into your audio interface and record that with no extra amp sim after it, you should be gtg.
Should have made use of the transpose feature
Can you do more of the changing time signatures?

i cant figure this riff out lol, no idea how to move my head
this one is going on the album for sure
This rips
It's funny how you started with a bass but it still seemed like a decently technical riff. You'd think starting with bass would make it more tempting to track a simpler riff. Sounds good.
