You can also remove the snap on your cursor and assign stretch markers at each transient. It's tedious to zoom in so much and pinpoint the correct spot but when finished, click snap stretch markers to grid, and you're left with a perfectly quantized rhythmic part. I find this works best for very rhythmic parts like rhythm guitar and bass.
Very cool. I will use this. Thanks for the great tutorial. Compositionally, no, it's not cheating. It's using the tools at your disposal to create the best music possible.
Greetings to Sweden! I would not call it cheating. Because if you call editing the guitar tracks cheating, then basically almost everything you're doing in mixing and mastering becomes cheating. And also, like you mentioned, every studio, every band does this :-) Keep up the great work!
@@evophonmedia tracking is a completely different skill from performance. Ive always been really good on stage and in a writing scenario but until i started recording myself consistently tracking was a really difficult thing
I would not consider this cheating, you record into a DAW for a few weeks starting out and you notice how much harder it is than playing live with friends right. I have trouble with fast chuggy rythms some times being off one or 2 notes here or there, this will help. The DAW program is unforgiving with timing when you listen back to the recordings, this is not cheating it is a pro tip and thank you for the video it was exactly what I was looking for as this was recommended to me to learn from a friend of mine who produces EDM music, will subscribe for more reaper tips now.
Hello, thank you for the video. Can you do a video on fast trem picked parts? I have a hard time editing them and getting them aligned. Talking like 180-200 bpm. Fast trem picked parts where both guitars are plating in sync and/or harmonized. One issue I have is the when you trem pick you have the down and then the immediate up stroke on the pick, and it's very hard to differentiate two notes. They look like one note. Another issue I have is that when I start playing the riff no matter how hard I try not too, the very start of the trem picked riff is like one or two notes and then a space/gap and then after it gets going and the pattern settles in the riff looks normal on the sine waves. My guess is, this is because its the first note, so it's played hard and the string has more bounce to it and it takes time to get that muscle memory going. I have a hard time hearing it as it's played back, but it's clearly visible in the sine waves.
@@osiris-guitar thank you I would really appreciate that. And for reference I am talking about a riff like this one at the :24 second mark: th-cam.com/video/9SHMGy7DMDI/w-d-xo.html
so using the stretch markers doesnt give you artifacts......or does it depend on if you stretch it too much ??? do u find this gives better results than slip editing ??
I've had no artifacts with stretch markers, but I'm pretty sure they'll appear if you stretch long enough. I've also mostly used them with distorted guitars which I think might be a little more forgiving. I'd use slip editing when the problem is more larger pieces of the recording being out of sync, stretch markers are great for smaller parts/individual notes being slightly off.
I do, but I'm not saying quantize to perfection. Sometimes I write stuff that I can't play to recording quality and then I think a bit of quantizing is fine...
@@osiris-guitar quantizing is fine. its a tool you use to get your mix up to pro standards, and that's not cheating. There is no such thing as cheating in music production. Of course if you play live that's a different story, people will find out very quick. But just a producer? quantize all ya want. Its a tool.

Cool, I'll try that!
How can you remove the snap on the cursor?
@@adrianjaramilloman Options -> Snap/Grid -> Enable snapping. (option-s on a Mac)
Thanks you
@@osiris-guitar hey man can you do something for noisy recordings of guitar? So that I don't have to use a gate and save my tone😅
Very cool. I will use this. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Compositionally, no, it's not cheating. It's using the tools at your disposal to create the best music possible.
I agree. But I also need to practice my consistency so much, regardless of how I record stuff.

Yes everyone does it but there's this culture of pretending to be perfect. Especially among guitarists I think. "First take", no fixes in mixing etc
@@osiris-guitar You're absolutely right! It's a shame. Everybody should be more honest

Cheers for this. Didn't even know about this, looking forward to trying it out.
Great video dude. This has helped me so much. Thank you so much...🤘😎🤘
Great information here, awesome delivery too. Concise and to the point.
Thanks for this dude!
Good explanation. Thank you.
Thanks! 🤘

@@osiris-guitar cool thanks for the info
I never quantized the dostored guitar.
You should quantize your English, just kidding man
Good for you! I'm not precise enough when recording to get it as spot on as I want, even with a lot of practice and many takes.
@@dennismidolo3372 yes my english not good 🤦
