Packs give you a strong advantage since you can choose between a lot of presets and listen to how they sound in context.
For example, a preset may sounds good when heard alone but may not suits to the track you’re working on.
That’s why it is highly recommended to go for the packs.
But whatever you choose, needless to say they’re all optimized and tweaked for Metal.
You are not left alone when you download these metal presets.
You’ve probably heard a preset that rocks and then sucks when you try to use it with your own midi file(s).
That’s why each download comes with a quick and super easy PDF guide to get the most out of the presets.

I’m Pascal Moraux, Metal guitarist, vocalist, composer and songwriter.
Born in Belgium on February the 5th 1976, I grew up listening to both Classic Heavy Metal and Extreme Metal.
Since the nineties, I’ve released 5 records with the following bands (see below) and toured/gigged in Europe with bands like Immolation, Krisiun, Emperor, Enthroned, Bal-Sagoth, Nocturnal Breed to name a few.
My Bands:
-Ex-Zardens (Blackened Death Metal, from 2009 to 2014).
-Ex-Moribund (Black Metal, 1996 – 1999)
Over the years, I developped a passion for Film Music. I founded Further Than Chaos in January 2016, a company that offers mostly material for trailers.
Beside the typical musician activities I’m also a self-taught sound engineer and producer and have mixed Albums and EPs for my own bands as well as for others.
During all those years I worked with almost every vst, vsti, rtas plugins available on the market.
Being a sound engineer gives you a strong advantage.
You not only know how the softwares work but you especially know how the presets are supposed to sound.
Knowing how the frequencies affect the listening is paramount to make good presets.
After all, making presets is very close to mixing, especially when it comes to drums.
That’s why metalpresets.com offers presets suitable for every Metal genres.
From Heavy Metal to the most extreme Black and Death Metal.
I use professional gear (monitors, headphones, sound card) to make sure they sound good almost everywhere.
Every single preset is checked multiple times before it gets released.

This is the first preset of the Guitar Rig 5 Metal Presets Series and I am going share with you my 1st custom guitar rig metal preset, using the Van 51 amp or simply the 5150 amp.
This preset can be used in a mix, as you can see in the video, but to tell you the truth it needed lots of post-process to make it work.
The Preset:

Important:Just because I will share the exact settings of each plugin does not mean that you will need to follow blindly the settings on each mix of yours. Plus, if you’re going to use the exact settings for a different project with your own guitar chances are that your sound will differ (guitar wood and new strings do alter the sound). You can download and import your preset if you like and my recommendation is to use it as a starting point and go from there. Feel free to share your presets or ask for presets here. Have fun!

Post-Processing
You can easily jam with the preset and the cab that I shared above.
You don’t need to dig that deep (that even Adele can’t roll) to the sound if you just want to jam and have some fun.
If you want to make the guitar to work in the mix then keep on reading!
I needed some extreme processing to make the preset sit in the mix but I finally made it.
You may see some plugins that you may not own but that’s really not a problem, since you can use stock EQs and compressors to get the job done.
The reason I am using them is because I am used to their workflow, feel free to use the plugins that you are familiar with.
The Plugin Chain
Here I compressed some of the low mids, to make the palm mutes tighter and more consistent in volume.
I used my stock multi-band compressor plugin, you can use yours it does not matter which plugin, as long as you can compress a specific frequency band.
I removed the low and high end to leave room for the bass and the hats. I also removed some annoying resonances.
I boosted some high mids at 3k (4db in this case) and a 2db at 200khz to give some body.
Then I removed some mud with a narrow Q and removed some high end.

Finally a compressor to kick in only during palm mutes (maximum 1db of Gain Reduction)
And some final limiting to kill some transients that’d got nothing musical to offer, just stealing headroom. Maximum 1db of GR.
Final Thoughts
As you can see the chain here is pretty overwhelming. The fact that we’re using all these plugins though does not mean that it’s too much.
In most of our plugins in this chain, we’re using minimum process with 1db differences. These subtle changes can help the guitar cut through the mix better.
We did use lots of EQ unfortunately cause that’s the problem with the digital guitar amps. We need to cut lots of annoying resonances to make them mixable (if there’s a word like this).
As mentioned in the beginning, this is not a “holy” chain that should be followed blindly. Always trust your ears.
Right now I am in the middle of researching amp software that can give us a commercial sound with less post-process, wish me luck, I’ll keep you updated!
