Having trouble getting the sound I want in FLstudio10: Metalcore/Deathcore genre

[Jeremy Vandyke]

I am getting somewhat of a deep tone but it seems to be fuzzy and the tones from my standard plug-ins from the Producers Version of FL Studio 10 don’t seem to make for a good un-mixed guitar sound without amps/compressor/limiter/EQ/Noise Gate. Good example of a band I am wanting to sound similar to is Shadow of Intent and on the more brutal “Thall/Djent” riffs Humanity’s Last Breath.

I have the EzMiz 2.3.4 version with “Metal Guitar Gods 1”

 

Any ideas or tips?

Operating system: Windows 10

Hey Jeremy,

You’re in luck with Metal Guitar Gods! I got a close enough sound using IA Core 3 and 4 listening to Return and Reclaimer with Shadow of Intent.

The guitar I’m playing on now doesn’t have a very tight bottom, but both Misha Mansoor and Fredrik Thordendal contributed to Metal Guitar Gods, and I’m sure that with a little tweaking you can find a close enough sound with their presets.

If you’re having issues with fuzziness, reducing the drive/pre gain can help with that for rhythm, as well as adding an EQ in FL Studio.

PS. You want to consider updating your FL Studio installation – FL Studio 20 is really nice.
