I change strings every 3 NOTES and then change GUITARS every 3 songs. This is key. Even the best guitars only have a few songs in em til you gotta throw em in the dumpster

My strings are good for at least 3 albums 😂

That half-speed tracking trick blew my mind. Thanks for this video

Using the DI box for no latency is something I figured out on my own (thankfully), but it's cool to see that someone put it out there for others to see. All the info in here is great. It's all available on other vids, but only one tidbit for each. Great to see it all in one vid. Got a sub, my dude.

Thank you! I have been trying to track guitars but feel like I failed. This motivated me to be able to actually get them done. The tech that was gonna help me did not have the time so. Very informative regarding the stuff I was unsure about! Noodling at home and just recording at random is not the same as trying to track some good DI's for a "real" album.

Very cool ideas. Can't wait to try some of this stuff out. Thanks for putting this together!

Nice video , I always thought that I needed to record 2 different takes for panning my guitars and then align everything to the slightest hits and strums to get a stereo effect. What a time consuming task that is. I'm glad to see that there's a quicker way of doing this. Thanks

great video mate, thanks for posting!

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH!!

Awesome video! Lots of great tips here

Dam head is exploding with knowledge 🤯 thanks for the tips dude!! 🚀🚀💜💜 Perfect video 💯

Video looks good!

Thanks man 🤘🔥

Great information.

This is awesome, man, thank you.

love the funny aspect of the video haha

Fun track awesome

Great video

Wow, I was already using a separate track to record... I guess I've got good instincts

Awesome vid thank u

Not what I was looking for but this is a great starting point for beginners. I only wish I would have found this video a few years ago.

Good stuff

Totally unrelated video brother. A TON of people have made videos about tracking guitars, bit I feel like they're all literally too concerned with being viewed as a good player to make a good video that will actually help the average person. Usually they move so fast & are doing shit that hardly applies to anyone that isn't on their level. This a great video for beginners, showing the whole process in depth bit at the same time not taking 2 full hours of tiny edits to get the point across. That or they just give out basic info that everyone already knows anyways. This is probably the best video I've seen on tracking guitars, showing the stuff you actually want to know fro people who may be just getting into this. Also LITERALLY the only video I've been able to find that shows the process of tracking at half speed, other than a 3 min video done by the dude from born of Osiris. I've been making a list of videos like this lately, topics that I'm just shocked at how little info there is about online. Pretty soon here I'm about to start making videos hitting everyone of those topics I can find. So good work dude, on making something that's actually useful. I wish you all the success my man

cool video very helpfull

thaaaank youuuu!!

IMO if you change strings so often you will spend all your time re-tuning and checking tuning instead of writing and recording. and in the end discover too late that a lot of what you recorded was out of tune

I had the same strings 4 over 5 years and one of the beats i used my strat on was picket up by a major label artist, it dosent matter, as long as it's in tune and the melody is solid nobody cares! Every 3 songs is extremely excessive..

I'm sorry but there's no f*cking way I'm changing strings every 3 songs. Not even every 3 months. Idk who the f*ck y'all think I am lmao Helpful video though, thank you 💛 I actually think the way you present things resonates better with me than most KZfaqrs

thx u

I test my gain by slamming an E power chord at the 7th fret with low E open. It’s the sweetest spot.

what you mention at minute 9 it's called pitch drift :) and yes, the lower string should be tunned a little flat in relation to the others

Aye editing guitar through that compressed signal has to be hell! Id record a di along with your tone to make editing a little easier!

Very good 😊 I will be back

I Have a Kemper. Will recording the DI in that work just as well as getting a DI Box?

I use a Pod Go. It sends the clean and the effects channel. So I don't need a DI box.

Nice job man. Subbed

Yo dude thanks for the tips- when you add your guitar tone as a plugin to record to... afterwards it has disappeared but the tone is still there?? how did you do that?

32 all daaaayyy. My computer does it without a single hiccup 😍

Great video! I was wondering whether there's a way to change the input type on Studio One. My interface's DI input was too hot and always clipping, so I got a DI box that now runs into an XLR input at the back, but the signal is still too hot. Does anyone know how to change from instrument to Mic track type in Studio One?

Is there a reason you track at -6. Looked like the track was close to clipping through the majority of the track. I aim for -15db to -12db (analog 0). So I have headroom to mix/hitting plug ins at the right level. Just curious as I've been learning this trial and error and through looking at others on KZfaq

do i need a di box if i use an audient ID44 with a built in DI input?

dude soundgarden sold a billion records with old bass strings he never ever changes ever

Where is all the hiss coming from? I’m assuming the guitar modeler? Is there anyway to minimize or get rid of that?

Is there a link to the finished song? 👀 it slapped

How is this only 2 years ago but he's using Logic version -2.5?

Im so Jealous of that Garza Signature! Favorite Guitarist! Was about to buy one of those guitars, dude sold it on me:(

thanks man

what are you using for guitar amp here?

Yo i need that guitar

Whats the key command where you cut and deleted the part of the region before the playhead?

So the half speed tracking thing was not explained thoroughly enough for us to execute what was taught. Can you make another video teaching this?

change the strings every song?? are you outta your mind?

when do you use guitar center

Mac mini M1,@ 32 buffers all day!

Actually i change strings after one note. More than one note and the strings are dead. Bass strings die only with half a note.

New strings every song ? Yeah I play an Ibanez gio with Floyd rose action. Whammy and locking nut. There's no way in fucking hell I'm fighting that every few days. Take me at least 3-4 days to get it hold tune.

Isn't hat a custom schecter??

still have the same strings from 10 years ago, I dont like the metallic sound of new strings, with old strings, it's soft, cleaner.

Pretty sure EVH only changed strings if one broke and only the broken one.

6:04 doesn't a DI box convert the signal to line level?

Can't play your own riffs? Won't play repetitions? Can't control ringing strings with your fingers? What is this??

set the tempo BEFORE you drop tracks in.

IDK man, this seems kind of.....idk. Been playing for a loooooooooong time and never once heard anyone else claim you need like 100 sets of strings to go into the studio lol to each their own i guess

This guy must’ve been hired by Ernie Ball to push string sales

It’s funny reading the comments complaining about buying strings for a great recording lol

or just dial your tone in on broken in strings......

This is the goofiest youtube guitar video I've seen. but its cool.

I dont wanna be that guy but imma be that guy, if you can't record clean takes, you can't play it live. So my question is, why even bother? Practice, push yourself. When you can play it clean, record it and share it with the world and then really blow em away when you do it live. Whack af to play something at half speed and fake it. If you got hit up for a studio recording gig and asked them to track you at half speed, you'll never get another session gig

come on, the halftime thing is cheating, and even time aligning is borderline cheating. it kills the soul in the music. it's way different if you really can feel ad hear the sweat of 200 takes on a recording.

how to get nice metal tone in logic pro x? mine sucks and when i got some plug-in still sucks with new problem of latency
