Metal Guitars

More metal, this time focusing on guitar and produced by Cyclick Samples. Robbie from Cyclick said: “This collection focuses on the primary instrument of heavy metal – the guitar. There’s no clever chords or time signatures, this is just raw 4 beats-in-the-bar metal chugging.

“The folders are laid out as Guitars A to C. Guitar A is the 1990s Strat (with tremolo arm, or whammy bar, or whatever you like to call it), Guitar B is the Parker Fly (weird modern thing that’s far too easy to play) and Guitar C is my personal fave, the early 70s hardtail Strat. Each guitar has been forced through a combo of amps, pedals and mics for each sound, though the prevalent setting used has been the rock standard of ‘11’.

“Within each Guitar folder there are folders of tempo-based rhythm and lead guitar riffs, with each rhythm part doubled up with a different sound setup to create hard panned double-tracked rhythm parts for the classic stereo guitar bedrock. These rhythm parts are presented individually and mixed together, and some of the individual parts are left with their hard panning set as there is some room verb on the opposite side which seems worth keeping in.”

You can find more info, including the gear used, in the PDF in the folder on the DVD or download from filesilo.co.uk (issue 300).
