"If you think it sounds cool then it does." - The most important thing to remember about sound.
If it sounds good...it sounds good. :)
that's always my biggest concern becuase whenIi record demos like this im always worrying if it only sounds good to me or something then idgaf and go on
Unless you're in Metallica
@@cooliofoolio good point lol
666th like
You should totally create more videos related to these recording topics, it's pretty useful
Fábio Ricciardi agreed
I know more about recording now than I did 8 minutes ago. Thank you!
2:34 3:03 3:53 here, now you can quickly listen to the different mics ;)
would have been a bit more helpful if he played the same thing each time
@@shamicentertainment1262 yeah, definitely
Nicely done tutorial that some would turn into a half hour blab fest.
And if you dont have any of this, get a garbage mic and a cassette recorder and make black metal
xBMPR just use your laptop mic
I use my smartphone's microphone to make kvlt black metal
Now if you want to add vocals, ideally you want to get lost in a forest and scream into a helicopter headset
i read this in frank reynolds voice
lmaoooo
This was incredibly helpful. I don't think I've ever seen a video teaching these concepts that was more simple and direct, or had such clarity
Thank you for making a genuinely ‘beginner’ video. I’ve watched so many videos claiming to discuss ‘recording for beginners’ which were full of jargon and technical details a true beginner wouldn’t have a clue about! I just wanted to know what I’d need to get my bass sounds into a Mac! I’ll worry about how to perfect the sounds later once I can actually get sounds into my Mac! Cheers for the video
This video is amazing. It gives you everything you need to know if you are about to start home studio recording with an electric guitar!
This is amazing man! You really know how to keep it simple and practical. Thank you!
The most practical and direct to the point instructional vid. Thanks Reverb ;)
This is probably one of the most important videos regarding music production i have ever watched. Thank you
And yet, another great video hosted by Joe! Thanks Joe!
Great video. Explains the basics clearly and to the point. Well done! Looking forward to future videos on recording.
I highly recommend investing in an ABY pedal. They're about $20, and you can record a DI take and an amp take simultaneously (provided your interface has 2 inputs). The DI take is always good to have for insurance purposes. Sometimes an amp take doesn't sit well in the mix. With a DI track, it can be reamped with different settings as opposed to re-recording the part.
hi, the signal is the same after it pass over the ABY pedal? the tone is the same? thank you
@@PatoGalliniThe tone isn't changed by the ABY pedal. It doesn't cut down the volume or quality of the sound. Just make sure the ABY has true bypass!
@@IAmKillEveryone thank you
@Kill Everyone Kinda curious, don't DI boxes have a Thru output for you to send to an amp so you can send a dry and mic'ed signal to the interface?
@@99deadwolves72 Some DI boxes do, not all of them. If the DI you have already has a thru output, then you're golden.
This video cleared up confusion. Been playing a few years and finally want to record. Now I know exactly what I need to record my riffs.
Really helpful tutorial. Thank you so much!
Thanks to you and reverb for making this, quite helpful. Maybe for the next one, if you would play the same riff at the same settings throughout the various setups, it would allow for a better comparison of approaches. I get the feeling that you tailored each riff to the strengths of each set-up (mic, placement) which is optimal for recording but not so much to get a feel for the sound that each setup can produce. Look forward to the next one.
Beautifully simple video, brother. Thank you for giving me a little more confidence when it comes to exploring recording at home ✌️
What a great video. Simple, clear, has all the basic info I need. Many thanks!
i love this guy, whenever he teaches stuff, i learn.
👏 good one Joe. You have a knack for teaching
Another option (if you have an aversion to computers) is digital 4, 8 and 16 track recorders. I grew up recording on a cassette 4 track and wanted to recapture how easy that was. Zoom, Fostex and Tascam all make great multi track recorders that work the same way the old cassette ones did. I love my Zoom R8.
Your videos are amazing. Great playing as ever!
I love your amp choice here! I’m using an old 60s vibrochamp and been loving the tones! I never thought 5 watts through an 8 inch speaker would get the job done!
Perfect on point demonstrating...best video on this topic. Very helpful
Dude thanks for this video, amazing tips!
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.
This guide was great! More like this!
Straight and to the point. Thank you!
Great video...simple,complete and understandable
It's amazing how few videos on youtube actually give this kind of information.
thank you for this! learned alot and straightforward information! thanks alot!
Appreciate your show. Thank you.
Always a wealth of knowledge, thanks Joe
you got it.. thanks for watching
Man I loved how that ribbon mic sounded.
Thanks Joe!
Very good and clear video. Very much appreciated
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Thanks! Just what I needed!
Really Great Video Man.!!🎸
love it, you do you!
very informative. loved this approach
Fantastic video. Very helpful!!
So informative ! Thanks so much
Whoa, the riff played with the mic pointed away from the speaker sounds like an older U2 record! Gives a lot of insight to how some of these older songs might have been recorded. 🤔
The Edge is a mad scientist of recording techniques.
Thank you! Very helpful!
Very usefull and didactic educational. Focusrite is always a good option for record with quality
Holy smokes.. it's this simple? Thank you so much my good sir Joe!
Great, clear explanation.
FUCCCCCCKKKKK
It's so nice to see one of these guides that isn't just clickbait bullshit. Thanks for the good content.
Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks it helped me a lot
Really informative! Thanks!
i have to confess i got surprised when i heard how the last mic position sounds way better than i expect lol:D nice tutorial
More of these please!
Very helpful video thanks ❤️
Thanks!
Cool video thanks!
Love the "Napoleon Dynamite " background music!!
I be had apple and interface. smashed them both
You play guitars very well 💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥
Great video! thanks
very clear, well made video
As someone who is using a focusrite 2i2 and garageband to record, this video is awesome! lol
Great video, thanks! :)
Great Video!
Nice tones via Les Paul into the little Fender Amp
Di is by far the best method for low budget recording.
If you want even nicer sound you can get a DI box or a tube mic pre with a hiz. It makes a huge difference.
When I bought my pre i never touched my amp again. It's amazing eliminating room effects completely
2i4 upgraded to 4i4. Focusrite is happy to see their audio interface grow up.
Great video on sound options. If you played the same song through all the changes it would make a bigger impact on sound difference
This was very helpful. Since I need a mike for voice over work, vocal recordings and amp miking it appears the condenser type mike is the way to go. Ideally, would love to ditch the amps and go hardware solution like Fractal or Kemper but these are expensive. Maybe in the future instead of more expensive amps.
this is great
Never forget...a great guitar player will always sound better on cheap gear, versus a mediocre guitar player on the highest end gear. Im a mediocre guitar player and know this is 100% true
great video man ...
Joe is the best ever.
I'm blushing now :)
Very well done sir
Great video!
Fender Champ. What Joe Walsh used to record 'Walk Away'.
Very useful
This is the simple video and easy to understand by beginners like me. All the content seems to be perfect but just miss one more thing that I still find and not found yet. Every video that I watched and many forums that I read people never talk bout the amp volume in recording session. This is the very important issue that many people missed to tell. I say because I get stucks in there. I do recording at my home and cant turn the volume too loud and the result is what I get is my sound sucks. I didnt get what I hear from my amp. What I hear from my amp is different with what I get. Some people say that when we do recording we need to set our amp as loud as can. Im sure my problem is with the amp volume not by the microphone angle or distance or audio interface gain problem. Whats your thought?
The ribbon mic sounded really good.
Very helpful
It would be awesome to see a video on how to create a synthetic drum track in logic or garage band
thanks
this is great, thanks so much!
would be curious to hear your thoughts on how hearing a recorded guitar (either through a mic or direct input) differs from what the player/audience is hearing? for example, why not mic it at your ear level?
Legend
I enjoy your playing style bro😂😍
The amp and pedal models that come free with GarageBand ain’t half bad, too. You can get started with an iRig, your iPhone, and a pair of headphones.
I’d rather have that old Champ though.
I actually learned how to use guitar effects with GarageBand on iOS before I even had a peddle! Just plugged my electric into my iPad, and bam - I could play electric guitar!! 😄 Granted some of the really distorted amps sounded like crap, but you could get some really decent clean, delay/reverb-soaked tones out of it.
What about latency issues?
Very useful thank you. Just got myself reaper.
I'd love to see one recording to a 4 track tape recorder and then transferring to DAW to master.
reverb, loved the video! even though it's something i've got to learn through searching, it would have been great to see a vid like this a year ago! hahahaha please make more of these beginner techniques and tips, i'm really stuck on the di box and mic preamp thing, should i get them if i have a focusrite interface and how would you do it step by step like u showed here? thanks joe and crew 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
nice and a tip for any if you like to give it more meat in the studio its a di box and a mic pre amp with a tube and. i have also use this with a sm57 to i can get a strong signal with out have to turn up more with the interface and takes out the air hiss noise.. ok its "Art Tube MP Studio Mic Preamp" i just say this case it does 2 things and cheap. have fun rich big sound. ")
Direct Input. Nuff Said
I'm curious about how a lot of analog tube-ampers record out there. For you personal favorite amp, what volume do you usually record at to get that best mix of compression and break-up? Do you use an overdrive pedal? Any tips in that area? In your post-processing, do you apply reverb discreetly to your guitar, or to the whole mix? Learning as I go. Thx
fantastic tut just what the doctor ordered i think i'll sub subscribe b/c i'm sure you have more tips how to use logic
Ay thanks brehbreh
great demonstration, ... yes i made the same excellent experience recording guitar, bass with my Marshall 5, this beats every computer amp or plugin, and in consequence i do now use a selection of well sorted pedals chain as sends and returns with the daw. The sound is unbeatable, crisp and and and. The sound recorded out of the real amp is living and breathes.
Do you record through an amp with a mic or do you just go straight into a DI box?
@@420scene Marshall Amp and Mic.
Cool vid man. Could you do a vid on how to video record you playing a guitar? I always have issues syncing the audio/video and know there must be an easy way to do it. 🤘🏼
just clap at the start then use the clap to line things up
I agree with this.....please show us how to do audio/video
It would be cool if you made a video recording with all mics at the same time in roughly the same position relative to the amp to compare them better.
