Electric Guitar Tone & effects when recording tracks tutoria

[bareknuckles2u]

I just want to see the chick...who cares about all that other shit!

[tIII3monkey]

the chick at 1:21 is hot

[adrher1]

would a digital stereo imager and digital compressor give you the same results ?

[Nickofaballooni]

Bit of argueing here about what is best...for my part Tube amps are way superior to solid state... why do guitarists pay so much more for them... my experience of having owned some of both is tube rules. I've not found a solid state amp I like except for amp'ing acoustic guitars. Try the new 1 watt... yes, 1 watt Blackstar HT-1 Tube Amp it's awesome for recording

[rhythmkeeper009]

Hahahaha. Run the effects into an amp, and then mic the amp so you can record it. Oh man, I would have never guessed that.

[TSDC2010]

@pacificresonance have you never heard of a Roland JC-120? A studio standard that is a solid state amp. from jazz to metal it handles it all.

[pandamanparty]

@TSDC2010 it may handle it all but everything digital doesnt sound really. basically thats what a solid state is . its a digital preamp, with a non tube power amp. when you have pre amp and power tubes, when turning them up at different volume levels they start to break up in different fashions ( they are also voiced differently) . and it just sounds better , with the exception of axe fx nothings can touch an all tube amp, because its real, not imitated

[Helljon23]

do you happen to use a isolation chamber at all

[AncientItalianSecret]

Thank you for the tips

[KylerShowTV]

Subscribe Button isnt yellow anymore :=).

[StevesGuitars]

what amp is that from 0:30 to 0:44?

[ModPCLM]

Recording tips.

He can't even run his video sound for both ears, its running out the left.

Fail.

[hallobaaaby]

it's nice missey was holding the guitar...

enriched so much the explanation

[yuyupb]

I always plug my guitar straight in to the MIDI is that not as good as mic n a amp????

[shredurfingersoff]

He mentions compression... bear in mind that distorted or overdriven guitar tones are already compressed so compressing them again in the mix stage is a bad idea.

[Bpet18]

can someone explain what he is talking about at :48

[elmelodico360]

eso esta muy bien amigo mio

[ferturasatana]

the girl in the guitar is so hot

[tIII3monkey]

@ferturasatana hell yeah

[tIII3monkey]

Respond to this video... hell ya

[TimGiant]

U DONT KNOW NOTHING.....damn it

[coronet67]

I dont think the "high/low input setting" is for single coil/humbucker pickups. It's for high and low input impedance.

[QuirinusLaurelin]

On the POD X3 for example, the high input setting only reduces the input level. Otherwise your sound would clip. Nothing else is happening here.

[coronet67]

The only time I've needed this is with active pickups on a bass. I always forget how it works. High is for high impedance or high output, or is that the same in guitars? High impedance pickups have higher output? Who knows, if one sounds better I'll use that one.

[QuirinusLaurelin]

Guitars have usually high impedance outputs, no matter which pickups are used.

But guitars with active pickups have more output than passive ones and in that case it's smarter to use the high/low input function on your preamp / FX-Board / whatever :)

[coronet67]

I guess 1:33 he sort of covers it. I must have missed that part.

[kriszpaul]

actually it's for active/passive instrukents on most of the amplifiers.

[moenmusician]

WHY pan the sound to one direction???? pease, atleast mono-it out, then place it in the middle or something.. GOD!

[TheBassHeavy]

@moenmusician I was about to comment this!

[rawrgrr4298]

@moenmusician It's probably because he's recorded in stereo and used an unbalanced cable to carry the signal to the computer.

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@moenmusician Listen to music with headphones on. I bet you cannot find a recording without a guitar panned to one side.

[Matheus222]

There was some good information on this! I just waited for that girl to play something kick ass...

[darrenguitar]

dont you mean that if you have a high output pups

you put it thtough the low gain

[axeshredstorm69]

How can I get a good hard rock tone on a basic amp? I have a Gorilla GG-25 basic amp with volume, treble, middle, and bass controls, and a tube stack switch.

[bedura4]

Put your gain on how much you want it,put it like on 6-7 and then on you guitar play with volume control.

Treble on 6,middle on 3,bass on 5.

Turn it up and play with the settings.

[NJlo]

Don't know the amp, but remember that in a band mix (and the more members the band has the stronger this counts) you are gonna want your mids!

[bedura4]

I know. Personaly I like to play with smaller amount of highs and a lot more mids. I like that "open room" and warm/wet tone, even though I play metal and etc. It's great to have scooped mids for home playing and it's mighty sound, but live and on rehearsals it's whole different story.

[bennyvx08]

I pressed Ctrl-D and stored this vid. in my favs.

[felphero]

wow very usefull video!

thnks!!

[asdfasdsfsa]

someone please forward this vid to this guy....  /watch?v=Hh-1VeoVjQo

[guitaristR1]

i use a digitech RP 150, i really like the tone when it comes out of my amp, but when i plug my guitar into the pedal and the pedal to my BOSS br-600, the tone sounds really thin, is there something wrong that im doing and is there any way i could fix this?

[WhiteStrat1]

is the boss true bypass

[Heeya13]

your RP 150 has an onboard cab simulator (or whatever it is that simulates the amp) and it has ann onboard EQ. those are probably whats beefing the tone there

[pacificresonance]

it doesn't matter how many watts an amp is as much as its circuitry. a 15 watt Orange Tiny Terror sounds a million times better than a Crate 100 watt amp not because of its watts, but because the Orange is Class A Tube. Don't buy a solid state amp. Bite the bullet and get a tube.

[LieutenantSmith]

@pacificresonance Hush you, I'll bet you can't hear the difference between a tube and a FET in a blind test.

[pacificresonance]

@LieutenantSmith

If you're talking about tube mics versus FET mics, or tube preamps versus FET preamps, or even tube guitar pedals versus regular solid state pedals, then maybe not. That's a totally different situation though. It's not that tube preamps or tube mics always sound better. Neither is better. Even for bass, it's a different story. But in a guitar amp, yeah, it makes a big difference, and tube amps always sound better to my ears. You get what you pay for.

[LieutenantSmith]

@pacificresonance But most of the time you are also horribly ripped off because of the tube description. I prefer tube distortion in a guitar amp, yes, and my friend's hifi tube amp sounds lovely and warm, but outside of those applications tubes are highly overrated and grossly overpriced.

[pacificresonance]

It's true. Often people think tubes=tone. I have nothing against solid state electronics. We use 1073s and other Neve stuff up at the studio, and most all the old consoles were solid state. They never really made TUBE CONSOLES. I will never buy a solid state amp. I will never record one. I hate how they sound. But really, I use more solid state mics and preamps than I do valve.

[Audiowithalex]

@pacificresonance  love the tiny terror, sounds amazing.

[Freedomcall82]

@pacificresonance I Disagree I have used crate amps in the past and they get a great distortion sound for punk and rock music. solid state amps are good for rock and metal i go for digital circuitry for guitar for pedals.

its the tone in a crate that is amazing.

[pacificresonance]

@Freedomcall82

If you look at the amps that have been used to create the greatest sounding recordings of all time, they are most definitely tube amps. That is all we use at the studio, that is all I ever use, that is all most professionals will ever touch.

[brucekirk89]

Or you can just go left right out on the line6 pod and never have to mess with 2 days of setting up an amp

[youxinxmotion]

line 6 pods have the worst tone i've ever come across.

[mdaleo]

Clearly you've never heard a digitech.

The pod pro's aren't too bad. I still prefer running an amp. In my experience it takes as long to set up a pod's sound as it does an amps.

Maybe that's what youx is talking about: you can never leave those things at their preset sounds.

[desasterz]

why do you keep the bloopers on the serious videos???

[caressuvsteele]

My current mic setup for guitar cabs is the Senhheiser E609. Right up to the grill, and slightly off center. But, be creative! There are no rules for micing an amp.

[AttemptsToPlayGuitar]

Hey, that's some really useful info... Maybe I'm naive for not knowing. But either way, thanks a lot!

[mwright165]

hey guys he's damn right about the watting of the amps! i have a 100 watt orange amp well had, and i traded it for a 30 watt amp of the same model and even live it gives me a better tone! it aint always about how loud the amp is but the tone is the big thing with me!

[scratch48]

Agreed. Its all about the tone, especially in the studio.

[mrpersonalfinance]

What's interesting is the whole "more-is-less" thing. I really like the sound of 18 watt Marshalls, Carr amps, Matchlesses, Dr. Zs and the like, but they're very expensive. WHen you record using a software program they come with all these great amp modeling programs, but try mic'ing your amp in your nice quite closet with lots of clothes and an sm57 off-center and see what that sounds like.

[earll2001]

Thanks alot big homie this makes so much sense

[freedomorfearthem]

damn it, now I have to go buy decent mics hehe. Cant wait to mic my amp, I knew it was done I just didnt know why. Im assuming Ill get a killer sound from my crazy setup once mic'd up. I split my signal into a massive bass combo and a nice vox tube. It give insane thump and wild distortion but im positive I can tweak the sound even more by putting the mic in just the right spot between the two. Anyways good tips, keep it up.

[odinmp5]

awesome... i hope the rock n roll fairy visits you with vintage gear , contracts for gigs and a beer.

you just helped a newbie sound good.!

[smokagrass]

THANKS 4 THE HELP

U ROCK DUDE!

XD

[erickorestes]

hey man your vidz are really amazing!. but!... i have one question!.. how can i do those acoustic panels, or did you buy it in somewhere! well thats 2 question n_n sorry for my english i`m a mexican boy :D take care.. bye!

[aztecmx]

wers david???? lol

[CharlesRoss2007]

Thank you so much. I absolutely hate that edgy sound and had to live with it for a while. Nice to know a good way to get rid of it instead of trying to tweak my effects and equalizer for eternity! Also I always thought I needed a big amp for a big sound!!! Very usefull information.

[Chaser53pin]

nice tips

[alienw9]

nice ... I have all that equipment ... hahah

[free2rym99]

what is the name of the machine you hook up to your guitar that records rhythms and then you like press a button and it loops the rhythm and you play over it.

[jordanzed]

Looper I think.

[500passwords]

i would like to know what you call it to, i bought a line 6 spider jam amp and its got that feature built in, i didnt know you could buy something to do just that.

[WaysocO]

boomerang?

[EdMuirton]

Great video and information! Cheers!

[Lcalavera]

very useful, thank you!!

[DarthTedd]

The volume advice makes a big difference (keep in mind I'm a newb so I have plenty to learn). Anywho, I was always playing with the guitar on 10. I've backed it off & it makes a difference.

[TrooperCX]

this was awesome

[weissgyz]

BRING BACK DAVID!!!!!

[mydeth]

any sugestions on free recording programs?

[msuman91]

audacity look it up on google pretty cool.

[mydeth]

thx but before i download it

can i save songs as mp3 files?

[spawk1993]

yes

[jernov]

For Audacity you need a file called "LAME Mp3 Encoder" which is downloadable off a seperate website.

It's also free though, just a single file that allows you to save as MP3.

if audacity (or its website) doesn't give a link to the encoder, simply search 'lame mp3 encoder' on google and you'll find it.

[jacksonV66]

thanks for posting this video man

[kevin381]

do you have any good gear? besides the cascades

[shaggy1039]

cool

[TehBloggaar]

How about some mixing tips, for example, how to EQ a guitar tracks in contrast to your bass track so they don't steal each other's freqs.

[sangolt88]

Any tip about acoustic amp plugins?
