Recording Heavy Guitars and Programming Drums in Cubase - Gridlost - HADES GATES PART 2

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. *Subscribe for more Cubase sessions, metal guitar recording, and mixing as Hades Gates takes shape.* #Cubase #MetalProduction #GuitarRecording #DrumProgramming #GridLost 🎚️ WORK WITH ME — ACHILLEAS | MIXING & PRODUCTION Have a song you believe in, but the mix isn’t getting it across?
