normally record guitar with a 57 or large condenser toward the edge of the cone point at an angle to the center, a couple inches away. roll of some of the low end maybe add a slight presence boost and some light verb. i find if you need a lot of eq you didnt point your mic right. check out my video for an example of what it sounds like
I just headphone out from my guitar amp into my line in for my onboard sound chipset. Sure, it's lo-fi as hell but some people like it that way. If I had the money and an actual band in need of support, I'd consider some recording gear, it gets expensive though.
am i the only one that doesnt know how to hook up a pre amp????? been looking everywhere, but NO EFFIN TUTORIALS!!!! do i need a mixer? is there a way to just plug it into my computer directly?? can someone please help me!!!!????
Listen if possible this first attempt on mixing metal music kind like heaven shall burn do in their albums... Better versions will follow soon. ENJOY!
Never go into the RED! You want your line level at -6 to -12 dB. You'll need the headroom later for when you mix. ...Going into the RED is amateurish.
Just connect (most amps have this) the "headset"-line out@amp into the "line/mic in"@your laptop/computer, with the proper cable.
Goto the sound options, unmute line in, put the volume up, use ansound editor (google for free 1) and record the "stereo mix or LineIn". Save as WAV (mp3 tends to lower the quality alot even with 320kbps)
The quality isnt good enough for studio/song recording, but its good enough to play around with! Have fun :)
The title says "record your guitar AT HOME". I know how its done in studios, but AT HOME for the GENERAL public, its not done this way. Unless you think everyone is rich like a motha.
You could also buy a decent MIC (like 100USD) and record your guitar, instead of this mixing combo thing, which will cost ALOT more then that.
@komani86 That is what I ment - you need a decent mic like the SM58 or SM57 (lot of studios use these although they are cheap), a crappy amp (70Eur), a decent mixer (120EUR) and a decent audio interface (150EUR). With this setup you will sound WAY better than with any low end digital effect pedal or VST distortion.
@procletnic Again, count up the prizes = alot of moneys, not everyone has that budget. You could also just get a decent USB mic and record into your laptop with some mixing software :D
Or the crappiest way possible like I said with a 1euro 3.5mm-6.25mm connector and put it in your Line in. But thats just for fun, not to record a guitar part.
But we do agree that the song sucks in the background? :P
First you take a framing nailer and fire one shot upside your head, then you wrap wire around it and plug the other end in your ear. With one finger up your nose you next blow snot lube into the volume slider and gyrate back and forth, every so often. Subtly. With the volume on ten, just until it clips, you plug your instrument right into the Ethernet port of your computer and the output into an adapter and then into a fully cranked amplifier. Repeat as necessary, while singing.
can someone please help me out!! i have both a mixer and a pre amp but i dont know what the pre amp is used for and how to work the pre amp and mixer together. can anyone explain please??
what is the common method for recording yourself play guitar on youtube, i want he audio and video to match and am miking the amp w. sm57, i have imac w. garageband or boss br-600 to record on. i don't know if i should try to record the audio and video separately,, i mean i can record myself on iMovie and plug direct in but the audio is awful,, how do i sync audio and video more competently??
Nick, you need to Audioswap the track on this vid lol - great that you've uploaded the helpful video, but I'm sorry, those vocals are distractingly off :\
This is great, but what do I record onto? Directly to a computer or a cd disc in a mixing desk or something? Also, couldn't you just take a line out from the amp directly into a mixing deck without miking up the amp?
why do wanna mic an amp? .. that's just stupid .. u can just connect the rec. output on ur amp and the line in for ur comp .. record .. mix it using software .. why the hell do you wanna do all this crap ..
mugrespan is not saying he/she is hungry, but that this video is slightly misleading in that one could very easily presume that you will be speaking about equipment that most, or even *some* musicians have easy access to.
@nickeax I just lol`ed really hard at ur comment! :)
Would you say that it`s generally better to record an amp with a mic, using a high-quality mic preamp like your Great River over there? Is there dramatic sound improvement? I`m currently recording through my audio interface preamp and thinking about whether it is sound(no pun intended) to buy a preamp for recording guitar. I record vocals as well, so I`m getting one eventually, but I was just wondering guitar-sound-wise-is it REALLY good?
@mugrespan Actually, with the way that prices have changed, you can get a legit home recording studio set-up for around 2 grand (without a computer mixed in there), so basically anyone who knows how to save money can have equipment like this at home.
@realjuvelive Firstly, if you plug your guitar directly into your sound card and it makes sound that you can record, that's better than nothing right? The problem is, your guitar (with passive pickups) will not output the correct type of signal for the input on your sound card. To remedy this, you can use a direct injection box (DI Box) or use some type of 'preamp'. The outputs of the DI and/or the preamp will plug into the 'line in' on your sound card.
@darkeagle551 I'm no expert but I don't think active pickups would be impedance matched to a line level input. I would still recommend a 'direct box'. Assuming you wish to use amp modeling software, that would be a good setup.
@nickeax Hi I would be really greatfull if you would answer this question. Im recording at home and i am having problems with the amp hum i get during close micing. Its not loud in real life but close micing picks it up. Ive been using a shitty mic but im just wondering how you get such perfect recordings without any amp hum at all. Im getting an sm57 soon will this help at all?
@jwalsh8 The hum isn't produced by the mic as I'm sure you know, so changing mics will do nothing to stop the hum. The hum is generated in your pickups from either lights, or something else plugged into the same powerboard as your amp. You could try shielding your guitar electronics and plugging your amp into its own outlet. Also, you can use a noise gate, either a real one straight after your guitar, or later on in your recording software. You can't hear the hum when the guitar is playing.
@realjuvelive Get a UX2 it can emulate most amps out there when connected to your computer. I use it with Riffworks you can hear how this rig sounds by going to my youTube channel and listening to the music behind most of the videos that arent live. Or I also have a few of the songs I recorded with others online using just the ux2 and a computer at music dot danspec dot com . I dont work for Riffworks but you can make some dam good home recordings with it and a UX2.
@realjuvelive Doing that will allow you to apply setting to your guitar. Depending on what program you're using you can download presets to apply to what you recorded.
Can I tell you something, your video shows the yamaha mixer at minus in the pre amp. so you are effectively making the first pre amp work overtime, or rather, needlessly cutting the signal so it will need additional boosting later on in the mastering process. You may have just done this to make the demonstration a bit clearer however, seeing as if you said"set it at 0" but then were seen to only set it at 10 oclock it may confuse some...
@sdowling: I didn't know FREE audio engineering programs were supposed to be designed to entertain you. And here I am, thankful this video was even created.
The digital mixer is also the recorder. It has a hard dick built in. I am using the 'better' preamps of the mixer and have the preamps of the recorder turned all the way down.
ok, so i have a question, can i not just mic the amp and that be it? i have to get a preamp? all my distortion/effects etc. is on my pedal board and amp so if i could just record straight to the computer without the extra stuff that would be great. sorry if this is a stupid question. im very new to recording and i know absolutly nothing about it
for basics, you will need a mixer cus you cant plug the SM-57 in this video or any mic right into the pc without it sounding bad.
i would just get a mixer, and plug the mic in there then use a phono to mini jack cable into the line in of the pc. (thats how i used to do it, then used ASIO4ALL through cubase) or you could get a interface to plug the phonos in to, like a M-audio Audiophile 2496 or a cheap Behringer USB interface.
I don't mean to be rude, but I wish someone told me: no one should record music they've put effort into through their soundcard's microphone/line-in jack. EVER.
My opinion: if you want to record music, get a USB or FireWire (the latter is preferable) audio interface. Period.
Get a mixer for live sound or for compressing multiple tracks (drums) down to one or two (not recommended). The alternative is to spend a bit more and get a multi-input AI. Your music will thank you. :)
@PacManiac12 Well, 'good' is totally subjective, man! :) I would completely agree that my early recordings sounded great to me. I am just implying that a piece of art that you put your heart into deserves something that sounds good to everyone. The composition aside, there is a lot of dynamic range truncated with standard sound cards, and to be honest, if our music was our children, then I would support letting them be spoiled in luxury!
I admire that you're about the music, not the quality. :)
Ive got a E-Mu 0202 for recording, does that count as a pre amp? I have a Audio Technica Vocal mic and a Shure Beta 57 and I find my recordings sound pretty bad. Will a better pre amp make a significant difference?
If someone is looking for a cheaper and simpler way to record guitar without practically buying a studio, i would definitely reccomend a VOX JamVox, you get really good quality recording and technology for the price you pay.
What bullshit is this! You can use a) preamp b) mixers gain button. Plz. You are totally forgetting sidestrips and compression. You also are lacking when it comes to the eq setup. Then you don't say a sigle word of aspect ratios and so on.. Geeh, no wonder the world is full of crappy guitar sounds.
consider that no matter how good the guitar sounds..the vocals and lyrics are going to destroy it...watch the rasberry my friends..watch the rasbeeeery
...this song...what the fuck...

First you take a framing nailer and fire one shot upside your head, then you wrap wire around it and plug the other end in your ear. With one finger up your nose you next blow snot lube into the volume slider and gyrate back and forth, every so often. Subtly. With the volume on ten, just until it clips, you plug your instrument right into the Ethernet port of your computer and the output into an adapter and then into a fully cranked amplifier.

Ive got a E-Mu 0202 for recording, does that count as a pre amp? I have a Audio Technica Vocal mic and a Shure Beta 57 and I find my recordings sound pretty bad. Will a better pre amp make a significant difference?
wolfos412 2 years ago
Yes, that does count as a preamp as one is built into the card. Not a bad one either, along with excellent converters! (I have the 1620m).
Go to my website for detailed information about recording and mixing.
guitaraustralia . com Look under the forums.

If someone is looking for a cheaper and simpler way to record guitar without practically buying a studio, i would definitely reccomend a VOX JamVox, you get really good quality recording and technology for the price you pay.

aight i have a marshal with a 6505 head and a sm57 mic. plus im a noob. someone help?
shadowelite141 2 years ago
That's what I was trying to do with this video. :-)
Maybe the tutorials for home studios on my guitaraustralia . com site will help? They are very detailed. (look in the forums section)

Can you plug the preamp directly in the mixer to plug in many intruments with this effect?
San5a 2 years ago
A preamp is not an effect. It's an amp.
nickeax 2 years ago
so don't you think i can use it for many instruments?? couldn't it be a "post-mixer" so I can do: instruments then mixer then preamp then amp??
San5a 2 years ago
It can be done, but I'm not sure it'll sound as good as you think. Do some research into 'gain staging' and 'line' and 'mic' level signals.
nickeax 2 years ago
Thank you very much nickeax! I'll do it..and if it works I think I'll save a lot of money!!

yes, you teach us how to record our guitars at home
with professional recording gear...?
radioheadradio 3 years ago 2
I don't mention which brands you should buy. Any mixer, or any audio interface, or any preamp will do. Relax...
nickeax 3 years ago
What bullshit is this! You can use a) preamp b) mixers gain button. Plz. You are totally forgetting sidestrips and compression. You also are lacking when it comes to the eq setup. Then you don't say a sigle word of aspect ratios and so on.. Geeh, no wonder the world is full of crappy guitar sounds.

this should be called "how to record your guitar at home with an extremely high budget..."

The gear isn't important. This video is a guide to the principles involved. I am not going to rush out and buy different gear, just to make a video.
nickeax 3 years ago
exactly my point.....this video doesn't really help anyone because you need a lot of expensive equipment....
atkm2891 3 years ago
You can spend whatever you like.
nickeax 3 years ago
consider that no matter how good the guitar sounds..the vocals and lyrics are going to destroy it...watch the rasberry my friends..watch the rasbeeeery

Can I record directly to the portastudio or do you highly recommend mic to mixer to portastudio? Thanks.

VelvetRevolver0001 3 years ago
It's not something that is worth discussing here. I recommend you visit studio-centralDOTcom for some of the best home studio guides on the net.
Connection a mixer to your computer is covered in depth.
Good luck and email me if you still need some advice. (nickeax at gmail)
nickeax 3 years ago
use a digital mixer or a soundcard.
AngusFangus 3 years ago
yeah, you'd need an audio interface which can connect via USB, you'll want enough channels on your interface that you have on your desk
