Best Recording Guitar tips with Amp on computer in the Studio at home

http://www.eComputerRecordingSoftware.com - check out my blog and get my FREE ebook " Music Production 101 "

Recording Guitar through an amp is simple if you know the basics. There is also more than one way to skin a cat as they say .

In this video I show you some tips how I produce a song from scratch in my home studio, starting with the brief to recording guitar through a vintage amp through a condenser microphone to recording the vocals to Audio Recorder Sofware. The brief was to compose a song in a Motown RnB style . I think we did a great job . What do you think ??

Please tell me if you can recognize which song we used as a guide to base our song on ?? If you get it right I will pick to give one person my next music production course "Advanced Music Production " for free .

Hey David, been watching all your videos and read your ebook. cant wait to get started in all this! Two questions, If I recorded heavily distorted metal guitar with reverb and all the effects from my amp would it turn out good or would it sound un pro? also after i record it would i be able to loop in strait into logic? thanks

[DavidCamposComposer]

@kyleleetch19 That would be fine . I would try avoid recording the reverb though . Rather record it dry and then add the reverb from your DAW . Just to give you more control

[Doobnium]

i can't get a sound through my midi interface, i want to record guitar into logic pro 9 directly through my midi interface. I have installed my interface and the signal is showing but i don't know where to go from there, any suggestions welcome

[MrGrizmint]

do you know you have some old ratty patch on your shirt? right above your left pocket

[ElRinconDeGiaco]

David, what do u think about the line 6 ux1 (a digital recorder) thx u :)

[androidestereo]

David, thank you for the info. Do you have any recommendations on portable interfaces?

[arturock1986]

IT IS BASED ON "MY GIRL" BY THE TEMPTATIONS... ISN´T IT???

[toxictomdude]

@n2xroyle FL Studio producer edition and line 6 pod studio ux1 will get you started.

[BishopVogue]

my girl... my girl.

[shaan261]

@DavidCamposComposer ...thanx a lot sir

[DavidCamposComposer]

@shaan261 Of course . What ever sound is coming out of the AMP you will be able to record...provided you set your levels right

[shaan261]

hi sir.......this is a very great and simple technique to record electric guitar.but will it work for recording distorted guitar also?

[n2xroyle]

Hi David, great vid! I'm Tom, I'm 15 and I play guitar, I have been watching a lot of those videos where people do all the different parts to a song on guitar and then put it together to create a track. At the moment, I do not have any software whatsoever apart from Audacity which I'm guessing is not good enough. Anyway, Have you got any tips on which Mic I could buy and which Recording software I could get on my computer, preferably for under 300 pounds in total. Please help! :D

[ThatKiDwiththeDrums]

Sounds like my girl

Hey david can you do a studio tour of your studio.

What monitors,mics,plugins are you using.

[MrKellii]

@DavidCamposComposer Awesome [: Again Great video :)

[DavidCamposComposer]

@Speed889 It wasn't easy but I had to hustle to get started

[DavidCamposComposer]

@hjalmarBuoi You are correct about that and you will get a decent result however the sound you get from a condenser mic is much cleaner . dynamic mics tend to sound muffled . they're better for live or very loud recording situations

[DavidCamposComposer]

@MrKellii I'm from South Africa lol !!

[Speed889]

Great video David, how did you get into the music industry in the first place, I was wondering because I was hoping to become a producer quite soon?
