Four guitar takes. Two on each side. Time to give these riffs some drums. 🤘
In **Hades Gates – Part 2**, I continue building my original GridLost track in **Cubase**, recording heavy rhythm guitars, programming drums, and editing the guitar performances.
In this session:
🎸 Quad-tracked guitars: two separate recordings panned left and two right.
🥁 Drum programming using Periphery drum samples from my collection.
✂️ Guitar edits to tighten the performances and bring the arrangement together.
A look inside my home-studio process—building a metal track layer by layer, with the decisions and adjustments along the way.
💬 Do you prefer double-tracked or quad-tracked rhythm guitars? Tell me what works for your music.
