Hey guys!
I listened to the new Bring me the Horizon album. I think it's an awesome production..
i tried to make some similiar songs in my daw. But what are your plugins to go if you're working on a metalcore/post-hardcore production?

My favorites are:
-Superior Drummer (love these bouncing functions)
-Revalver MK4 for guitar and bass guitar
-sylenth1 for additional background synths
-mojito for strings (but im not 100% happy with it)

 

You can't go wrong with SD, Revalver 4 and Sylenth1. The hard part is how you tweak them, which expansion/library/preset and so on. I can't help you with that but for sure other users of this brand new metal forum :D will do.

About strings I can tell you that mojito is cool but limited. There are tons of string synths/libraries. Again, you'll have to wait to more experienced users.

It'll be helpful if you upload some samples of the sound you're currently achieving.
