Please let me clear up a few latency issues I was talking about. Of course I know it's possible to get a unnoticeable low latency, I myself do not have latency issues with the RME soundcard. But from experience, seeing a lot of other systems, loads of comments, I just know for a fact that there still are a lot of people that have to deal with problems. Maybe I was a bit on the low side with 4-8 ms, I said those numbers from memory. Let's make it 8-16 ms then :) That's all for now! Cheers!
Paul Davids Good call, I was just about to tell you that a latency of 8 ms is equivalent to standing about 3 meters from you amp. This is in practice what one often does, without problems. 16 ms is 6 meter. This starts to become annoying. That being said, many people complain that no matter how small a buffer they use, they still have latency issues. This often turns out to be a usb problem, where the usb chipset buffer more than the soundcard.
Hi! Could you make a tutorial on mic positions for recording solo acoustic guitar(especialy the ones that could work great in any type of room) and how properly eq and so on. I'm trying to keep things simple. But I'm having serious consistency issues, with some recordings sounding amazing directly out of the zoom h5, just needing to adjust the gain. In other instances some frequencies just come out too hot and unpleasent to hear for long periods of time.
Yeah. The issue of latency and modelling software. I know exactly what you mean and I'm bloody glad that I don't feel the 5ms of latency anywhere nearly as much as someone like you does. Ola Englund also mentioned exactly the same problem especially when it comes to playing at high tempos, solos for instance. I don't think it's something that can ever be solved. It's a problem that all hardware is naturally going to have. The signal has to travel and be processed. Unless we break the laws of physics we're going to have latency no matter how much the technology we use improves.
Yes it's often because the reported latency doesn't include all chain members like the USB device itself and effects that may increase the perceived latency very fast.
What goldmine for newbies. It took me months to learn all of this bit by bit and you covered it all in a few minutes. Your video chops are on a par with your guitar skills, which are top notch, and you are an engaging teacher. You take the time and put the effort into the details, which is noticed and appreciated.
+1. I slogged through learning to record via a Scarlett 2i2 and StudioOne. Still so much to learn, but this video definitely highlights some of the basic questions I used to have.
@Big Dragon I'm pretty sure the GT40 has a midi out that you use to connect to your pc so in theory the amp should become your interface, with that being said, im not sure if the on-board effects and patches will transfer over with the GT40 but with my katana, the effects work perfectly on recordings
Honestly I find it distracting. Are we trying to make entertainment or are we trying to pass on important information? PD is knowledgeable and talented no doubt. I really think these videos would be easier to take in without all the bells and whistles.... Content itself rules...
Turning complexity into simple clarity is an art form. Add humor to the mix and you create enjoyable entertaining knowledge. Thanks' you do it so well and it is appreciated.
I don't know why your videos have the most relaxing audio i have ever heard in a video,it sounds so quiet and smooth for the ear. Whatever the case,great job and thanks for the video, it's quite helpful
For anyone starting out on a budget, I highly recommend the Fender Mustang V2 for a plug and play audio interface with basic amp modelling which take the horrid 'direct line in' sound you get. You can also escape the latency issue because you can hear your recording through your amp - rather than your monitor speakers - which is a great option if you like creating and jamming over backing tracks.
I'm a singer/songwriter and play acoustic so for me a Scarlett 2i2, Oktava 319, Reaper DAW = Done. Thanks for the vid Paul, can you do a basic one on mixing? I'll admit that the who EQ/COMP thing is kicking my butt. You always get such good sound for your videos, it's the thing about them that first caught my attention.
And me, for the love of god cant understand why oktava was never in somebody's preferred brand. Like holy shit this thing is as good as shure's. Russian made stuff screams quality all over it.
You are a bastion of hope and inspiration in a sea of "ME TOO CLICKBAITY TITLES BUT SHALOW CONTENT" that's been plaguing TH-cam. Keep it classy, Mr. Davids. Thank you for existing.
Recording yourself is a great way to have a record of your own progress too...being able to keep the focus on how far you've come helps to alleviate the 'I'll never be good enough' crap that we all deal with from time to time... Always enjoy your vids Paul...
I just loved this video! The compilation, the level of knowledge, and the sequence of presenting were so clear! I loved the special effects too! Thanks for sharing all this info definitely helpful for someone to see the whole process!
I can't read all the comments, but for recording getting an A/B box to split the signal to send a clean guitar to your interface to be recorded, and another one to an amp. You mute the guitar signal from the computer, and you play listening to your amp so it doesn't bother you. After that, you just add whatever effects and edits you need to your recorded guitar, with no latency ever bothering you. Your videos are always useful and entertaining. Cheers!
I'm pissed you didn't mention Reaper. Guys, it cost 60 euros, it can be used free of you don't mind an occasional pop-up, and it's THE most customizable one on the market.
You know that reviewers on youtube suggest things that can get them some affiliate bucks through amazon's referral links, right? If you have a look at the description you'll get your answer. Nobody cares for a cheap software, no matter how good it is, because it won't make them a single $.
@@Bromoteknada Other reviewers, yes. But I wouldn't expect that from Paul. People who do this just for the money, never get this good at it. Reaper is free but it's great and if it empowers the less financially gifted musicians among us, then I'm sure he cares about it.
@@IshanAditya Reaper is not free. It literally says so in the About/License dialog box. The fact that you can abuse the technically unlimited evaluation period is another matter. Stop being a cheapskate leech and cough up the 60 bucks. The application is worth 10x that.
I’d love to see how you mix your acoustic guitars. Seems like a lot of compression is a big part of the sound, which I love! Really wanna be able to replicate it!
Didn't happen to me before, but I liked this video in less than 30 seconds, it's something very relaxing and pleasant to watch, a mix of Paul's charisma, high budged microphones and perfect editing skills. Keep up doing this man!
Dude, thank you so much for all your videos. I have been playing for more than 40 years now and I still learn from your videos. Thanks for sharing your valuable info freely....
Many people have mentioned it before, but I just have to confirm it once more. The amount of details and work you put into your videos is amazing. They're quality videos with awesome editing work. We really appreciate it, thanks!
When you flashed latency on the screen my soul nearly jumped out of my body. Haha. That evil thing called latency. Loved the video Top tips that I wish I could have got in the early days of recording.
Paul, now you have a course out, you have established a good following and you're still releasing gloriously boring well-edited and helpful videos like this one. I don't plan on recording anything now, but this is just too good. Thank you. You're one of the main reasons I kidnapped my sister's guitar and started playing last year
@PaulDavids thank you so much for the more detailed explanations... specifically for this part at 5:05. There are a lot of 'how to record' videos but they never explain headspace early enough... so usually newer people won't leave enough headspace for mastering and get discouraged when their tracks sound overly compressed.
For anyone reading... you want levels to max in your DAW between -12db and -6db. I would recommend being closer to the -12 range. This allows "headspace" for mastering... it will give the person mastering more room to add width, depth and body to your track.
For me: Guitar Focusrite Scarlett audio interface Computer (Reaper) You can find lots of free vst plugins for guitar online, Ignite, Lepou, Flextron etc!
I am making a lot of original songs conpositions and all your videos are very useful to me. I am from philippines but working as engineer here in malaysia. My wife and I are making our original compositions.
Plug your guitar into the amp input, the amp output into the interface input, and the interface to the computer. Use the DAW and under settings you select your audio interface as your audio input. Then create a new audio track (not midi) in the DAW, and on the track settings select which input you'd like to use (1 or 2 if you have a 2 channel interface, 1-4 if you have a 4 channel, etc). Then you should arm the track and record, it should all work out
I knew all of this but it’s so great to hear it spoken about with such clarity - I wish I watched this years ago, would have made my journey faster and simpler
Ableton Live!? Really? I thought that was just for EDM producers. My bad. Could you explain why, being guitar focused, you like Ableton better than the other DAWs you mentioned? Thanks!
Ableton has a live looping feature, which allows you to build layers upon layers of music. Much more intuitive if you play any instrument other than the stereotypical habit of EDM producers "copy-pasting and drawing out MIDI notes" on a computer.
Not boring at all! This is really, really important information for both newbies and audio veterans alike. Thank you for summarizing the process so effectively!
You are very intelligent and very kind to share your knowledge, you have put in many hours of learning and it is a gift to learn from you in a very clear and (entertaining) way. Thank you.
Nice overview. It’s obvious that you put a lot of time and thought to this video, and you have a very straightforward, understandable way of explaining things.
So... Saying you helped me might be not enough. I've recently started to record on Windows (ableton) and I had so many issues. I didn't know I could use the condenser on my amp, I didn't know if the software I was using was good enough, I was playing the guitar directly through the interface and latency was driving me crazy. I couldn't play by the clicks becouse of that. I've been so frustrated for more than a week because I was trying to figure out everything by myself (I used GarageBand before and it is completely different). I was going to install a MacOS simulator on my PC becouse of all of this. Then I stumbled in your video (which I had not found while searching on recording techniques), I was actually watching the one on how to play Neon. You were reassuring, helpful, and explaining even the most basic things. I'm so serene now. I'm starting to hear improvement, ofcourse it's still a long way, but you gave me a great headstart. Thank you, really. Ps the camera transitions are very funny :)
As a home recording begginer this video is super helpful, I don't wan to use plugins for my guitar, I want to record my valve amp via a dynamic mic connected to my focusrite interface
Wow. I was JUST doing some research on setting up a beginner home studio, looking at getting a focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (which comes with ableton life), a novation midi controller (because it works well with ableton), and some other essentials and then this video popped up. You’re the man and this has helped me make my decision. Please keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this, and all your other videos! I've been recording myself on ukulele using my cellphone for a while now, and I've found it to be a wonderful way to improve my playing and singing skills. I've got a Focusrite interface on my Christmas list and I'll be picking one up in January if I don't get one before then.
I think a simple USB-Condenser is also worth mentioning. It is the cheapest and easiest method, because you can just plug it right into your computer. I can really recommend the Samson CO1U PRO, it is built like a tank and sounds really great. I did quite a lot of research and it seems to be easily the best for the price and I am very happy with it indeed.
Really helpful, I always had this question in my mind about how complex recording guitar was, and most videos in youtube are not as complete and as informative as this one. Thanks Paul! Cheers from Chile.
You rock!! So useful and well explained info. I also gave up, like many years ago, and now, thanks to you I'm ready to go home and start my music project again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Your channel is holy and you are a God. Your voice is so convincing and your intentions seem so pure. I would still have subscribed to your channel and liked each of your videos if you were telling everything wrong.
Capture four signals. Direct, high frequency, mid-range, and low frequency. Always keep your dry signal. Mix all four signals and fluff with an Autoharp.
Great video man! So full of information, all important aspects... Bravo! (im playing guitar for 20 years and have been recording a little 10 years ago so now im trying to get back :)
Wow. I have an X1 as well as a 57. My friend who was an audio teacher for years says to use 2 mics - aim one mic at the 12th fret, the other, below the bridge at the bottom. This minimizes friction noise and boom, especially if you are a finger style player.

I've been recording myself on ukulele using my cellphone for a while now, and I've found it to be a wonderful way to improve my playing and singing skills. I've got a Focusrite interface on my Christmas list and I'll be picking one up in January if I don't get one before then.
I think a simple USB-Condenser is also worth mentioning. It is the cheapest and easiest method, because you can just plug it right into your computer. I can really recommend the Samson CO1U PRO, it is built like a tank and sounds really great. I did quite a lot of research and it seems to be easily the best for the price and I am very happy with it indeed.
Having watched so many videos of Paul, I can confidently say that I have observed a remarkable improvement in my wit and humour 😂
Really helpful, I always had this question in my mind about how complex recording guitar was, and most videos in youtube are not as complete and as informative as this one. Thanks Paul! Cheers from Chile.
You rock!! So useful and well explained info. I also gave up, like many years ago, and now, thanks to you I'm ready to go home and start my music project again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Boring video you say ? Dude this video is probably one of the most enjoyable videos I've watched , thank you very much ♥️
Your channel is holy and you are a God. Your voice is so convincing and your intentions seem so pure. I would still have subscribed to your channel and liked each of your videos if you were telling everything wrong.
The transition for the "capture it" tip was pretty rad
Capture four signals.
Direct, high frequency, mid-range, and low frequency. Always keep your dry signal.
Mix all four signals and fluff with an Autoharp.
Great video man! So full of information, all important aspects... Bravo! (im playing guitar for 20 years and have been recording a little 10 years ago so now im trying to get back :)
Those transitions are brilliant
Wow. I have an X1 as well as a 57. My friend who was an audio teacher for years says to use 2 mics - aim one mic at the 12th fret, the other, below the bridge at the bottom. This minimizes friction noise and boom, especially if you are a finger style player.
