  • @StephenAvery93
    @StephenAvery93 10 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    You don't want completely new strings on the guitar either... Break them in first...

    • @StephenAvery93
      @StephenAvery93 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      AGPMandavel there's various reasons. Depending on your guitar, you can have tuning issues until the tension system hits steady state.
      I also don't like the tone as much. This is subjective and is also probably due to the fact I dial in my tone for the majority of the play time and not just the first hour or so of play time before the strings are broken in.
      You should really change strings before a recording project though.

    • @mosesgutierrez6897
      @mosesgutierrez6897 10 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Stephen Avery New strings can be broken in almost immediately by stretching them thoroughly during the string changing process. Even with locking trems, before locking of course. Tune up, stretch or bend your strings like you would while playing, tune stretch tune stretch, and tune. It's also important to add some pull or tension while you are.

    • @mosesgutierrez6897
      @mosesgutierrez6897 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Moses Gutierrez well you are first stringing or turning the tuning pegs with the slack on the strings. You want them to wrapped tight around the peg

    • @StephenAvery93
      @StephenAvery93 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not necessarily... Especially if you have a floating floyd rose tremolo bridge. The coating needs to be broken in a little bit to get the usual tone as well, unless you have your tone setup for rand new strings so you have to change your strings every hour of play to get the same tone.

    • @TheGeryal
      @TheGeryal 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Stephen Avery But you are not supposed to record instantly after you put them, it's a little time after (a week, a few days) having 5 months old strings makes the guitar sound like shit

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @CLayneFarr I plug it in to the Apogee one as shown in 0:26. That's a soundcard/preamp

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Borges1091 yeah you have to have input monitoring on in your program. So you can monitor the signal without having to record.

  • @XSFlanger

    hey bro the compressor settings are PERFECT. i screen shot the settings and applied them on the audio suite compressor in Pro tools, and it was perfect. it evened the levels without neutering the tone. thanks bro

  • @johnmotherfuckincoltrane1242
    @johnmotherfuckincoltrane1242 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Can't you just duplicate 2 guitar tracks and then have it be guitar left and guitar right?

    • @AR-mq5oz
      @AR-mq5oz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      what you can do is move the duplicated track to start a few milliseconds after the other, that way it makes a stereo effect. it's not the same as recording 2 guitar tracks but it's a cool effect you can try with a lot of different instrument that have a mono sound

    • @eltonsoaress
      @eltonsoaress 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You'll get a volume boost if you duplicate. Playing twice is never exactly and then you'll have a boost on the "body" of the riff rather than an increase in volume.

    • @7James77
      @7James77 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, because it will not add depth to the guitar track. Another thing to take into consideration is that the guitar tracks should be recorded with different guitars/pickups/amp so as to not sound too identical.

    • @homevalueglass3809
      @homevalueglass3809 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just for anybody reading this for the future, duping and panning the same track even delalaying it a little will not fatten up to sound, it'll most likely cancel some the original signal out because of identical wave forms and it'll sound even weaker or you'll get a chorusing effect. No substitute for multiple tracks.

  • @Theologic
    @Theologic 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very nice tutorial! You helped me out alot!
    Btw, your songs sound great, ( Not just the riffs, your tones kick ass too! )
    Keep up the good work!

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ac23AQ when bands record 4 tracks(quadtracking) you usually pan 2 of them 100% left and right. The other two are brought more into the center so say 60-80% panned left and right.

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @pesciro Yes I own metal foundry as well. I'm probably going to do a preset for that as well.

    @pinky5586 You'll be fine with Logic Express. All the plugins I use here are available in the express.

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ModernProductionss If you get noise, get a noise gate and check all cables. Problem solved. I usually put on a noise gate in logic.

  • @Jakubris

    Hey Ola, I've been your subscriber and watcher for a long time and I've got to say, your vids are just getting better and better (and also really cool and funny). Keep up the great work and have a lot of success in music! Jakub

    thx for the tips! i have the same mic, so gaining such a nice sound wont be a problem now

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Sean1547 Logic 9 but that's because that's what I've been using for the last 10 years. If I started of with protools I would probably still be using that.

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Borges1091 but you can controll that with your interface. Just back off the gain on your audio interface and you'll be fine.

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @noWandthENnnn that's a dynamic shure sm57. I'm using Logic 9 for recording.

    @neo69hk if you copy the tracks and pan them you'll only get an increase in volume as well as phasing problems.

    @ModernProductionss if you get a lot of noise while playing you're either using WAY to much gain, or have a shielding problem either with your cables or the electronics in your guitar. And the amp is not supposed to buzz, better check it!
