MIDI Metal Guitars - Make Them Sound HUMAN in FL Studio!

Hey guys, and welcome back to the Absoyed channel!

Tired of your MIDI metal guitars sounding artificial? In this in-depth tutorial, I'm going to show you how to transform your virtual guitars into powerful, realistic-sounding metal riffs right inside FL Studio!

We'll dive deep into Kontakt 5, specifically using the Shreddage 3 Hydra library with its "Hydra Modern Metal 1" preset. I'll walk you through essential settings like randomizing velocity for a human touch, enabling multitracking, adjusting picking modes, and tweaking parameters like peak attack and bite. The real magic happens when we fine-tune the advanced options – adding D-line noise, downstroke/upstroke offsets, and rake picking to truly mimic a live performance.

But it doesn't stop there! We'll then jump into the FL Studio mixer to polish your guitar tone. I'll show you how to use a "glue" effect with a heavy chords preset, add punch and aggression with OTT, and clean up unwanted frequencies using Soothe 2.

What you'll learn in this video:
