Description

It is time! I have been working on this for several weeks and now I am very proud to present you: the Mix-Ready Architects Songwriting Template!

Obviously I had to choose the incredible GGD One Kit Wonder 'Architects' drum samples for this, but I added additional One Shot samples on top to make those drums cut through the dense wall of bass and guitars. If you compare those drums to my Mix-Ready GGD OKW: Architects template, you will hear that the drums are processed even further, for a maximum of impact.

You can use a real bass guitar or VSTi bass in this template. The processing is done with Neural DSP: Parallax X. I prepared the tracks so that you can instantly start recording your bass or write the bass midi. I used Submission Audio: Eurobass for the demo song, but you can replace it easily with a VSTi bass of your choice.

The guitar sounds are created with the Neural DSP: Archetype Nolly X amp simulation. Aggressive rhythm tones, mellow cleans and ambient lead tones - it's all included. I prepared two 'Octave down' tracks with Neural DSP: Gojira X. You can hear them in the breakdown of the demo song. The octaver pedal of the Gojira amp sim is tuning the guitar DI down one octave and then running it through a gnarly high gain tone. This is great if you want to beef up some sections of your songs!

The dreamy piano sound is the free Virtual instrument LABS by Spitfire Audio. Additionally, you will receive extra FX sounds such as Snare Bombs and Impacts.

Speed up your workflow with this Mix-Ready songwriting template!

      Great template but some aspects of it are outdated

      I want to first start by saying that this template is awesome.I'm a huge fan of Architects and their sound. Everything is nicely laid out and appreciated the free plugins.

      My only issues are that one of the plugins is outdated and it was a mess trying to get this figured out. Additionally, I reached out to the staff for support via email and never got a response. That was a huge disappointment.

      Overall, great template but the plugins needed need to be updated and staff should answer emails.

      Now writing metalcore songs on a DAW is a lot less pain!

      What you get:
      Good sounding template with guitar tone great presets without CPU overload! Also, usually the routing of GGD und Kontakt Drum libraries is a pain in the...... with this template I don't have to mess with it anymore!

      I hope there will be a Songwriting Template that works with EZDrummer and with vocal presets. I would buy it immediately!

      Cleanest Template Available

      I own a lot of these mix templates, and this one has the cleanest mix across all speaker sources. Just be careful when mixing your own projects on it, that snare reverb can be quite distracting. I usually tone it down a bit and it's good to go!

      This was the template that finally gave me freedom!

      (This is not a paid review!)

      I came to Mix Ready after months and months of hopeless tinkering. I watched countless YT videos and even bought a few mix courses, and just kept striking out each time. It felt like every Saturday afternoon was just another wasted attempt - I was at my wits end and wasn't even writing or playing much because I was so stuck on the mixing element. Enter Mix-Ready. I found the site through a Google search and figured that this would be my final try.

      My jaw dropped when I heard the Architects template for the first time. The drums sounded insanely powerful and crisp. The guitars were aggressive and cutting without being shrill, and the bass sat perfectly in the pocket. Finally…FINALLY it felt like I could get back to writing again and just enjoy the creation process (and not be embarrassed when sharing tracks!). Georg has been awesome as well and has done some mods for me as different friends have come over for their own projects - his prices are always reasonable for mods and he has become a production mentor in many ways. I've learned so much from reverse engineering his templates and just his general advice. All I can say is grab his templates. You WON'T be disappointed!

      So…if you're a metal Luke Skywalker and you're looking for a metal Master Yoda…welcome to Dagobah 😉🤘

      Real guitars I've tried in this template: Schecter Kenny Hickey signature, ESP LTD EC1000, Fender MIM Strat, Ibanez Universe 7.

      VST Guitars I've tried in this template: Odin III, Shreddage Hydra, V-Metal Prominy.
