I recorded some multi-sampled death metal guitar sounds for use in Renoise

[modey]

For this week's Weekly Beats track, I decided to make some metal guitar samples for use in Renoise, since I wanted to write some death metal but don't quite have the chops to play those ridiculous walking random sounding guitar riffs. They don't sound very realistic on their own, but underneath some good drum sounds they almost get there. Anyway, I thought I'd share them with you guys, if you're interested. I've uploaded them here (ZIP file, 82070222 bytes), feel free to use as you please, just show me the results!

Sounds included:

Power chord, open

Power chord, muted

Single rhythm note, open

Single rhythm note, muted

Single lead note, open

Single lead note, muted

Each instrument contains one sample per semitone (around a couple of octaves each), and the power chords and rhythm notes are doubletracked stereo. They're not perfect, but probably useful!

Also, I'm pretty new to creating Renoise instruments, so if you manage to improve them somehow, let me know!

Thanks dude, needed something new to mess around, death metal sounds perfect.

thanks for sharing

No problem! I might make a few other packs as well, since this was oddly fun. Next I might tackle my fretted and fretless basses.. beyond that, maybe some of the acoustic instruments I've gathered over the years. I have a rather beautiful handmade classical guitar that would be fun to sample. Maybe even some of my toy instruments like glockenspiel, melodica, etc..

Finally got to actually use the instruments, I really like them, doing some electro-hiphop-metal right now, if you`ll make some more, I`m interested, nice to have samples that are a bit rough at the edges so to speak, maybe, if you feel like it, you can do some samples just with different noises that happen while handling equipment, like plugging shit in, touching pickups, some feedback etc? Although toy instruments sound fun too. Anyway, thanks modey, I appreciate you sharing this.

Cool, good idea. Maybe a single instrument of various guitar noises? I'll look into it this weekend!

Sounds great, just don`t break anything! Fun track too, the drums, the vocals, the riffs...nice work. :)

Haha, that's pretty cool! Hearing some Unique Leader and Necrophagist influences in there.

 

And the guitar solo is fucking beyond!

[modey]

Hah, yep.. been listening to a lot of Necrophagist lately! Those crazy guitar riffs are really fun to write in Renoise. It's easy to make them super mathematical in terms of pitch and timing.

I've been meaning to do something like this for a long time but been too lazy to do it myself, thanks for sharing

Haha this is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

Again, I can't get over how fucking awesome that second half of the solo is. Totally off the wall, insane tonality, amazing phrasing, and that stupidly clean and thin tone. It's up there with the best stuff from Fredrik Thordendal, Chris Poland and Allan Holdsworth for me. Seriously.

oh wow, thanks! Thordendal and Holdsworth are pretty big influences on my solos; especially the cool upbendy stuff they do that just sounds like it was 'poured' into the song. I seem to be better at writing solos in Renoise than writing them on guitar though, haha.
