if you have the right room, mics and preamps and enough channels on your interface, i prefer recording a guitar with two mics infront of the speaker and a room micing.
Do the batteries of active pickups get continously weaker and change the sound or is the sound the same until the batteries are completely empty? I thought it would work normal or then not all, but not that the sound will get weak.
I love this disclaimer!!!! Can I quote it as the "OlaEngLund" license:
"so if you disagree on some part of this (video) then keep it to yourself or do your own goddamn (video) :D" where (video) is replaced by the media type:-)?
Some pretty good tips there. But this is not the ONLY way to record metal guitar....! :)
And, having new strings on a guitar is simply not necessary. While it's a fact that they sound brighter, this does not necessarily improve the tone. Especially if you are going for an Obituary type sound where the top end is rolled off on the guitar anyway.
Plus, it is not necessary to crank a tube amp up to ridiculous levels as in a "metal" type amp all the distortion is happening in the pre-amp.
I have a quick question. Im not using a microphone right now but i am using a behringer guitar link which is an interface. Im plugging my marshall MG too that and then recording on soundwave and it keeps giving me a very dull sound, but through my amp it sounds perfect. any advice?
hey ola, at what record do you usually record? i'm a total beginner and dunno if i should either turn up the amp and keep the recorded signal lower or keep the amp volume low and amplify the microphone siganl. cheers.
@Heineken1712 Always turn the amp up more. You get more bottom end, more tube saturation (if your using a tube amp), and a more powerful sound cause you really get those speakers moving and pushing air. A cranked amp sounds louder when recorded similar to it sounding louder in the room, make sense?
Then after following his advice on here, your recording level, or your preamp level, should never be clipping, or "in the red" that will cause digital distortion and fuck everything up. 75-80% is cool
Cool video man. One question: since I don't have a good microphone, do you think it could be a good idea to link my computer to the amp's headphones exit? I've tried, it doesn't sound so bad...
@jacolmes you can do that if your amp has a headphone/line out. will not sound as good as with a properly miced speaker, but MUCH better than with a webcam or similar,
@marcoslctaranta Lol xD I think this is the first time that I see a BMTH fan commenting on a metal video that its "pussy music". Where is your logica??
@iEADGBE I'm not a BMTH fan, if you see my channel correctly I've made a cover for darkthrone song, I'm a big old school metal fan, it just appears that I like BMTH songs, what I've said is that metal isn't pussy music, instead it is meant to be played RAW, overproducing it is pussy
@Bigvbadosker that has to be the dumbest statement I have ever heard! Lmfao! Look turn the amp down and actually get some education in looks like you need it dumb ass
I have enough sound proofing in my litle shed for the master volume to be up quite high, so it colours the sound perfectly, but I'm still having just a little trouble with the recorded guitars, as they have an annoying buzz or hiss when recording... Plus I can't hear the stupid metronome because the levels are dictated by the Apogee ONE... Just wondering if backing the mic away a couple inches again might make the recording device cope better at volume. Thanks
Record 2 hi gain guitars panned 100% L and R. The do 2 more with less gain, slightly different EQ 50% L and R and drop the vol by about half. Great way to fatten the tone.
what kind of mic would you guys suggest for recording at home?
i wanna start making covers on youtube and recording some random stuff for fun.
im not looking for like top grade professional quality here just something for a hobby cause right now all i have is a rock band 2 microphone which sucks.
@michaelbryant21 I use Magix music maker, but I record straight from the pedalboard into the PC. You can get a nice sound if you're patient. Magix is good I think, particularly for it's price. Check one of my recordings. /watch?v=5tNVpZDtNjY
@P4nzerk93 Duplicating the same recording on another track will just make the recording sound lot louder. Even if you play the EXACT same riff on another track (recording it again), it'll sound wider and a lot better. It's always better to record at least two tracks of guitar, even if it's the same thing being played. You should pan the tracks left and right as well, which will make the whole thing sound a lot bigger.
@P4nzerk93 Like the video said, you can record 4 tracks for the rhythm guitars (for example) and pan them differently, for a huge sound. 100% left, 50% left, 50% right and 100% right, for example.
