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!
