Rabea, I don't know about everyone else but I'd be super, super interested in (maybe a livestream) of you starting from scratch and recording a song. I mean like really from scratch, setting up your busses, setting levels, doing your top down mixing plugins etc etc. Obviously it can take a loooong time to write a full song, so even if you just throw any old short thing together I think a lot of us would find that super helpful, or at least super interesting. I watched a vid of Misha doing the same thing from 2019 and it was really helpful

For heavy as fuck guitar with clarity I love to slide the 57 to .8 position at 0 distance for the left mic, and swap in the 414 at 0 position and 0-.15 distance 2nd or the 3rd cab doesn't matter! It does this tight fat cheeks, with a wide open top that I can't get enough of lol! I have even used my digital keyboard as a line out into Nolly without the cab and I can add the effects to the built in instruments of the keyboard as a cheap easy solution to get a lot of sounds to play with. Cheers and I loved all the parts of the Cali demo with Nolly too!

How does one add an effect pedal to a daw? I don’t use irs. I was confused when he just started using pedals . I also noticed he had other plugins , I didn’t double check, maybe limiter or compressors? I hear his humbuckers and they sound so clean and round , Iv heard this in a few of his videos, it’s gotta be some setting in his setup as opposed to the humbuckers sounding that way. Iv seen other people on their channels get similar tones out of humbuckers . Idk about irs, they’re definitely convenient but when I heard tracks processed with them the guitars seem small and tight but they lack a naturally grit and bite to them. Plus despite all the irs and mic placements available it seems like most people’s guitars today sound the same . There isn’t much character left. Probably because they are all using the same software based off the same exact gear and maybe some compression coming from all the plugin formats . I would love the idea of an ir that convinced me but idk, it always sounds lacking. It’s good sounding on it’s own way But it doesn’t sound like guitars in real life to me or guitars from records that weren’t using irs. Close but no cigar
@RabeaMassaad2 жыл бұрын
What you heard was raw into logic, there was noEQ or compression on input. I use comp and EQ after on my vocal. I sometimes monitor with some comp but depends on the rig. The thing with IR’s for me is low end. If it’s warm and plentiful I’m happy with my IR. Because for me the biggest telling of an IR done badly is the low end. Plus you have to try it with the right setup. It’s almost like any other effect, you have to tweak to find your fave sounds. I bet if you were sat in the room with me, you’ll have enjoyed the tones a bit more. But to each their own. This is the best case scenario for me when living in a terraced house. I can’t be cranking 4x12’s hahaha
