Introduction to Damaged Guitars

As soon as you lay your fingers on the strings of a guitar, you’re transported into another dimension. The power of heavy riffs infuses your soul and sparks an exhilarating energy that culminates in a symphony of sound. This is the essence of Heaviosity’s Damaged Guitars.

With its deeply sampled cinematic playables, this instrument library is a force to be reckoned with. But it’s not just the final product that’s impressive; it’s the meticulous process behind writing, recording and producing this library that sets it apart.

The team at Heaviosity knew they had to go above and beyond to create an instrument library that would truly capture the essence of heavy metal guitars. They started by curating a collection of legendary guitars, amps, pedals and studio gear to ensure each riff was as aggressive as possible.

But it wasn’t just about having the right equipment – every detail had to be perfect. From mic placement to effects processing, every step in the recording process was carefully thought out and executed with precision.

And then there were the riffs themselves – each one crafted with passion and dedication. The heavy guitar riffs are truly the crown jewels of Damaged Guitars, reflecting the anatomy of heavy guitars with three keys: Drop D, Drop A and low F sharp.

But there’s more than just heavy riffs in this library. The clean side of Damaged Guitars showcases looped musical progressions paying homage to lush clean guitars. These loops are made up of two layers – a clean guitar layer sounding pristine and lightly affected along with a clean effects layer made up rich signal processing like delay, reverb and granular processes.

To seamlessly transition between these elements there are bass guitar loops matched specifically for each heavy guitar riff creating that characteristic wall-of-sound found in hard-hitting metal tracks. Plus, transitional elements like guitar slides, squeals or pinch harmonics as well as beefy aggressive bass transitions.

Navigating Damaged Guitars is made easier with Heaviosity’s intuitive structure called snapshots. This splits presets into two main categories: single instrument menus featuring only guitars or only bass sounds or combos where matching guitar and bass banks have already been programmed for you. Plus, multi-sampled round-robin playable guitar textures with cinematic nuance and larger-than-life feel to add instant color to your track.

In conclusion, Damaged Guitars is more than just an instrument library – it’s a testament to the power of heavy metal guitars. The careful curation of equipment and attention to detail in the recording process ensures that each riff is as aggressive as possible. With its clean loops, bass guitar transitions and intuitive structure for navigating sounds, this library has everything a musician needs to create their own epic soundscapes.

A Symphony of Legendary Guitars

Drawing from Heavyocity Co-Founder Neil Goldberg’s extensive background as a former touring metal guitarist, Damage Guitars is a testament to his diverse and impressive collection of legendary electric guitars. The lineup includes “custom shop” Gibson, PRS, Fender, Jackson, and Ernie Ball. These guitars have been processed and sculpted with an eclectic lineup of guitar pedals, and fed through five iconic tube amplifiers to guarantee a tone, vibe, and attitude that is true production-ready quality.

Damage Guitars is not just a product; it’s a symphony of legendary guitars, each contributing its unique voice to the ensemble. This symphony is the brainchild of Heavyocity Co-Founder Neil Goldberg, a former touring metal guitarist with an extensive background in the music industry. His passion for music and deep understanding of the nuances of guitar tones have been instrumental in creating Damage Guitars.

The collection includes guitars from some of the most respected names in the industry, including “custom shop” Gibson, PRS, Fender, Jackson, and Ernie Ball. Each of these guitars has its own unique sound and character, contributing to the rich and diverse palette of tones available in Damage Guitars.

But the magic doesn’t stop at the selection of guitars. Each guitar has been processed and sculpted with an eclectic lineup of guitar pedals, adding another layer of complexity and versatility to the sounds. From distortion and overdrive to delay and reverb, these effects pedals allow for a wide range of tonal shaping, further enhancing the sonic capabilities of the guitars.

To ensure the highest sound quality, these processed guitar tones were fed through five iconic tube amplifiers. These amplifiers, known for their warm, rich tones and dynamic response, add depth and dimension to the sound, creating a tone, vibe, and attitude that is true production-ready quality.

The result is a symphony of legendary guitars, each with its own voice, yet all working together to create a versatile and powerful tool for music producers. Whether you’re looking for heavy, face-melting riffs, lush clean tones, or anything in between, Damage Guitars has you covered. It’s not just a collection of guitar sounds; it’s a symphony of legendary guitars, ready to bring your music to life.

Supercharged Signal Chain

After each instrument had been pristinely recorded, they were further processed with Heavyocity’s supercharged signal chain, delivering a massive dose of guitar wizardry. To elevate this already stellar collection, the Heavyocity team meticulously recorded bass tracks that perfectly match each guitar riff, providing score-ready bass tones that further intensify the force of these driving riffs.

The signal chain is the heart of any audio processing setup, and in the case of Damage Guitars, it’s supercharged to deliver a massive dose of guitar wizardry. This is where the raw sounds of the legendary guitars are transformed into the powerful, production-ready tones that Damage Guitars is known for.

After each instrument had been pristinely recorded, they were further processed with Heavyocity’s supercharged signal chain. This involves a series of carefully selected and meticulously configured audio processing tools and techniques that enhance, shape, and sculpt the raw guitar sounds into their final form.

The signal chain includes a range of effects, from dynamic processors like compressors and limiters that control the volume and sustain of the guitar tones, to equalizers that shape the tonal balance and bring out the best in each guitar. It also includes a variety of time-based effects like reverb and delay, which add depth and dimension to the sound, creating a sense of space and ambiance.

But the supercharging doesn’t stop there. To elevate this already stellar collection, the Heavyocity team meticulously recorded bass tracks that perfectly match each guitar riff. These bass tracks are not just simple low-frequency additions; they are carefully crafted to complement the guitar tones, enhancing the overall sound and adding a powerful low-end punch. This provides score-ready bass tones that further intensify the force of these driving riffs.

The result is a supercharged signal chain that transforms the raw sounds of legendary guitars into a powerful and versatile collection of guitar tones. Whether you’re looking for heavy, face-melting riffs, lush clean tones, or anything in between, the supercharged signal chain of Damage Guitars delivers, bringing a new level of power, precision, and efficiency to your music production process.

A Powerful, Intuitive Engine

With over 1200 sources, all housed in a powerful, intuitive engine, Damage Guitars covers the gamut. It offers a groundbreaking array of ferocious riffs, sparkling clean tones, and exciting transitional elements, in a playable, intuitive, and flexible format brought right to your fingertips.

Navigating Snapshots & Playable Guitar Textures

As we continue our exploration of Heavyocity’s Damaged Guitars, we come across an intuitive structure called snapshots that splits presets into two main categories. The first category features single instrument menus that include only guitars or only bass sounds. The second category is combos where matching guitar and bass banks have already been programmed for you.

Snapshots make it easy to navigate through the impressive number of sounds that Damaged Guitars has to offer. With just a few clicks, you can find the perfect sound for your track, whether you’re looking for something gritty and distorted or smooth and clean.

Beyond the presets, Damaged Guitars also includes multi-sampled round-robin playable guitar textures with cinematic nuance and larger-than-life feel. These textures are designed to add instant color to your track and can be used in conjunction with other sounds in the library or as standalone elements.

One of the standout features of Damaged Guitars is its attention to detail when it comes to capturing the nuances of playing a real guitar. The playable guitar textures are no exception. Each note has been recorded at multiple velocities and round-robin variations, ensuring a natural and dynamic performance every time.

But what exactly are round-robin variations? Imagine playing the same note on a guitar multiple times in slightly different ways – each hit will have its own unique characteristics due to factors like finger placement, pick angle, and string tension. Round-robin sampling captures this variation by recording multiple versions of each note, ensuring that when you play back a phrase using Damaged Guitars’ playable textures, it will sound as if it was played by a real guitarist rather than a computer program.

In addition to snap-shots and playable textures, Damaged Guitars also includes other useful tools like keyswitches which allow you to switch between different articulations on the fly. For example, you could switch between palm-muted power chords and open strummed chords with just the press of a button.

Overall, navigating through Damaged Guitars can be an overwhelming experience due to the sheer number of sounds and features it offers. But with snapshot menus, multi-sampled playable textures, and other handy tools like keyswitches, it’s never been easier to find the perfect sound for your track.

In conclusion, Heavyocity’s Damaged Guitars is a versatile and powerful tool for any producer or composer looking to add some serious rock energy to their tracks. With its meticulous attention to detail and innovative features like snapshots and playable textures, it’s no wonder why this library has become a go-to source for heavy guitar sounds in the music industry.

Punish, Mix and Shape in Master FX

The Master FX section is one of the most powerful features of the drum sound effect system. It allows you to add a final layer of polish and fine-tune all of your sounds. The processors are chained together in a channel strip-like fashion and can be rearranged in any order.

This gives you incredible flexibility in how you sculpt your sound. In addition, the Master FX page features a dedicated wet/dry mix control, which allows you to dial in the perfect balance of processed and unprocessed sound. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or radical transformation, the Master FX section provides everything you need.

The Master FX section also features the Punish knob you may know from Damage 2. By combining compression and saturation, the Punish knob can gradually add warmth and bite to a sound or completely wreak havoc when pushed to the max. The Punish knob offers three dedicated working modes called “Gently now”, “Hurt me plenty”, and “Nightmare”.

As one can guess from their names, these modes add increasing degrees of destruction from a warm punch to massive aggression.

In “Gently now” mode, the knob adds a subtle amount of distortion that can give a sound some extra body and presence. “Hurt me plenty” mode ups the ante with more intense compression and saturation, resulting in a more aggressive sound. Finally, “Nightmare” mode pushes the knob to its limits, creating a sound that is distortion-heavy and extremely powerful.

Whether you want to add a little bit of grit to your sound or completely destroy it, the Punish knob is sure to offer something for everyone.

Start Quickly to Compose

Although the drum sounds were programmed so that each drum piece is heard at the position it was recorded in the studio, you can completely change the positioning and perceived depth of any sound with Stage control.

Each sound is represented by a little circle you can move around to the left and right as well as to the front and back of the virtual sound stage. Depending on the position of a sound on the front-back axis, the balance of microphone positions changes to represent your setting.

This is another great way to achieve creative and unusual results. By moving a sound forward or backward, you can make it stand out in the mix, or place it further back in the sonic picture.

Stage Control

You can also use the Stage control to the width of the stereo image. For example, if you want a wide, spacious sound, you would move all of the sounds toward the edges of the stage.

Conversely, if you want a tighter, more focused sound, you would keep the sounds closer to the center. Experimenting with the Stage control is a great way to add interest and dimension to your drum tracks.

Damage Drum Kit Main Engine

The main engine of the Damage Drum Kit is comprised of three separate engines, or “Designers”, that can be loaded as Kontakt patches: The Ensemble Designer, the Kit Designer, and the Loop Designer.

Each of these Designers has a unique purpose and offers a different set of options for customizing your sound. The Ensemble Designer lets you create drum kits from scratch using a wide variety of samples, while the Kit Designer provides premade kits that can be tweaked to your liking.

Finally, the Loop Designer allows you to create your own drum loops using the included samples or your own personal library. Regardless of which Designer you use, you’ll have full control over each individual element of your kit, from the pitch and volume to the decay and reverb.

With so many options at your disposal, the possibilities are nearly endless. So whatever kind of sound you’re looking for, Damage Drum Kit has you covered.
