Now I know why distorted guitars were always more difficult for me than clean guitars. I never thought about it before but it is hard to see the transients of distorted guitars and they are blobs. Thanks for the clarity.

Useful tool, for sure. We just prefer to get our parts and tones together during production, nail then during recording, and make mixing less like fixing something that's broken and more like celebrating the creation of something organically grown with human feel. And, yes, we align parts too, when called for!! Thanks for sharing!🤘🏼

Nice. I recently started doing this and discovered another benefit to editing guitars and other tracks like this is that all the transients line up, making the mix louder and more consistent. Btw, is someone having a bath in the background?? haha

You are absolutely correct about the transients lining up! Much cleaner and easier to mix. It’s a fountain in our house! Haha

@HenryMittnacht 7 ай бұрын

Cool. BUT if there´s 2 guitars playing the same parts to make the sound big and wide by panning hard l/r? Does the "charme" of NOT playing spot on not disappear? Or am I just thinking not "modern" here? 😏

It's a great tip. Know you are only doing it this "basic" way to make it cross-daw compatible. In Cubase 12 with the phase-coherent warp-marker group editing this is an absolute breeze.

@pvalenti 7 ай бұрын

Great video, but I think most of us could save money on the Radial piece and just use any available DI since most that I am aware of have parallel input jacks...so plug the guitar into the DI, run from the other DI input to the amp or pedalboard and you get a DI signal at the same time you are capturing the amp with a mic or mics.

@Hrafnaflokii 7 ай бұрын

What about the phasing? Are they pre-phased before you edit or do you match the phase beforehand with the microphone?

@fpvtv2222 5 ай бұрын

I really like the idea of uaing a direct box to get pure signal to see where the guitars line up on the grid. I think making all the guitar line up perfectly on the beat takes the human element out of the music. Do you agree? Wouldn't it sound better to get the guitarist to play in the pocket as close as possible sound better? Perfect sounds kind of robotic to me.

School of thought 1: I'm embarrassed to do this, its an admission of being a sloppy/incompetent guitarist. School of thought 2: Who cares, it's a studio recording, do 'whatever it takes' to give you a result that will fill venues with adoring fans - of whom 95% won't care that live it sounds 'different to the record'.

@rome8180 7 ай бұрын

Perfection is boring. Quit reinforcing the idea that everything needs to be to the grid. It creates an emotional disconnect because we've all heard real music played live and intuitively we know that it doesn't sound perfect. No one is listening to Fleetwood Mac or Soundgarden or The Beatles and thinking "This is great, but I wish it was tighter." Perfection is only the "standard" these days because people like you are allowing it to be.
