Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial on how to make heavy metal music in Mixcraft 7. In this tutorial, we’ll cover the basics of creating a metal track, including choosing the right instruments, laying down the foundations with drums and bass, and adding in guitars and other elements to create a full, powerful sound. We’ll also touch on some mixing and mastering tips to help you get the most out of your tracks. So let’s get started!

Step 1: Choose your instruments

In order to make heavy metal music, you will need to choose the right instruments. You will need a drum set, a bass guitar, and an electric guitar. You may also want to add a keyboard or other percussion instruments.

Step 2: Set up your drum set

Drum sets are the backbone of any good metal band. You will need a bass drum, two tom-toms, a floor tom, two crash cymbals, a ride cymbal, and hi-hat cymbals. Set up your drums in whatever configuration you like; there is no right or wrong way to do it.

Step 3: Choose your guitar tone

Electric guitars are key in metal music. You will want to choose a tone that is heavy and distorted. If you are not sure how to do this, ask a friend who is more experienced with electric guitars.

Step 4: Play your instruments

Now that you have chosen your instruments and set up your drum set, it is time to start playing. Play whatever comes to mind; there are no rules in metal music. Let your creativity flow and see what sounds you can come up with.

Step 2: Choose your sounds

To start, you will need to load some sounds into Mixcraft 7. You can use either audio files that you have imported or recorded, or you can use virtual instruments.

If you want to use recorded audio, you will first need to record your instruments or vocals. You can do this by connecting your instrument or microphone to your computer and using the Record function in Mixcraft 7.

If you want to use virtual instruments, you will need to choose which instruments you want to use and load them into Mixcraft 7. To do this, go to the Instruments tab and click on the Add button. This will open a menu of all the available instruments. Choose the ones that you want to use and click on the Add button.

Step 3: Choose your tempo

One of the first decisions you’ll need to make when creating a metal song is the tempo, or speed, at which the music will play. Metal songs can range from extremely slow and heavy to much faster and lighter. There are no hard and fast rules about tempo, so you’ll need to use your best judgment to decide what’s right for your song. A good starting point is to choose a tempo that feels comfortable for you to play or sing along to. You can always change the tempo later if you need to.

Once you’ve chosen a tempo, it’s time to start adding some tracks!

Step 4: Choose your key

The key of your song is the note that your song starts on. Most heavy metal songs are in minor keys. To choose a key, click on the “Key” button in the main screen. A drop-down menu will appear. Scroll down and click on the key you want to use for your song.

Step 5: Arrange your song

The final step in creating your heavy metal masterpiece is to arrange your song. In Mixcraft 7, you can do this by dragging and dropping your tracks into the arrangement window.

To make things sound more metal, you may want to add some extra tracks or change the order of the tracks. For example, you could add a guitar solo after the second chorus or put the guitars in the forefront of the mix.

Once you’re happy with your arrangement, simply hit the “Render” button and Mixcraft 7 will create a high-quality audio file of your song.

Step 6: Mix your song

Now that you have everything recorded, it’s time to mix your song. This is where you will adjust the levels of each instrument and make sure everything sounds good together.

To mix your song, first solo each track one at a time and listen to it. Make sure the levels are where you want them and that there is no clipping. Clipping is when the audio gets distorted because the levels are too high.

Next, add in another track and adjust the levels until it sounds good with the first one. Continue doing this until all tracks are in the mix.

Finally, listen to the whole mix and make any final adjustments. Once you’re happy with how it sounds, you can export your song as an MP3 or WAV file.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to make heavy metal music in Mixcraft 7, you can create your own metal tracks at home. Experiment with different sounds and techniques to find the perfect sound for your music. With a little practice, you’ll be able to create professional-sounding metal tracks that will impress your friends and family.
