Guitar Player's Thread

[<-Warheart->]

Lol thanks for actually answering me

Yeah, a bit more mids and reverb gave the tone some "personnality". I didn't actually used a compressor, but well I did used a noisegate (My soundcard isn't a soundcard for reccording actually, so).

I'll figure something and probably post it tommorow.

Write a list of everything you're using for recording guitars. I'd be interested to see what you're using 'cause it sounds really gainy and thin, like if you were just taking the sound from the headphones jack of a small practise amp.

It might be worth you looking in the Tab Thread and reading my post on how to use impulse files to make you tone sound like you've got John Petrucci's gear.

 

[Altitudes]

He is probably micing up his amp, which doesn't render good results unless you know what you are doing.

 

[<-Warheart->]

Yup. I tried recording Sixpounder by micing my practise amp and it sounded like ass.

hmmm
i'm actually thinking of getting a sansamp plus a nice 2x12 instead of a half stack...i'd just need it for home use and if i got a rehearsal place and stuff i could always add some stuff...what do u guyz think of that idea?

Awww well.

As I don't have money at all, and I'm not especially only a Guitarist, my stuff is low, if not nothing.

My guitar is a Jay Turser Vintage shit, with I even don't know which pickups - but it's still an "Ok" guitar with an "Ok" sound.
I don't use an amp, I don't like to move it and its sleeping at my friend basement for jamming and shit.

I'm plugged directly to my ZOOM 505 Guitar pedal, then to the computer.

In Mixcraft I'm using FloofFish Noisegate and a basic EQ VST.

I've actually downloaded VoxengoBoogex before reccording that, I tried it but actually... i doesn't "improve" or "boost" my sound, it does the invert, it sound distant and... "poor". And yeah I did tried different thing and played with Voxengo, even those settings you had in the Tab Thread didn't improved my song, it might be just my pretone that doesn't work at all...

 

[<-Warheart->]

If you want to upload JUST the guitar track, I'll see if I can make it sound better.

Yup.

Well ok, thank you by the way!

[Altitudes]

Less treble and distortion.

 

[<-Warheart->]

Fuck, I don't think it'll sound very meaty. Altitudes was right about the pretone thing. I think when it sounds a certain way, it's kinda unfixable.

 

[OvSeth]

To be honest, I think that the Revalver MKII has better tones than Voxengo Boogex. If you want, I can upload my version of it and you can try it out. You'll also need ASIO4ALL for it to have a nice sound.

 

[Fetzer]

That's why I'm asking other people, cause that's pretty weird: I find that tone kind of cool I'll try different things and post them, probably tommorow or monday.

 

[Mystique1721]

If you like that kind of tone, then keep it. It is your music after all. Maybe it'll fit well.

 

[Fetzer]

Yeah, that's what I would have done with Psychords, but inside of my I want Norfmentis to be kind of liked, so I don't want to just screw that cause I know fuck about guitar tone

Then i suggest you get a Marshall Poweramp ordered from britain. I checked some like yesterday on Sounds Live and they're pretty cheap.

http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Marshall---EL84-20-20~ID~732.asp

or if thats too pricey/loud you could always get a Rocktron Velocity 50. Cheap stuff...it's solid state but...

 

[dreams_of_eternal_hate]

^sweet man...good idea
