guitar tracking > LOUD Vs. headphones !?

[thegun]

loud monitors + loud metronome here

 

[amarshism]

Always battling the volume vs click bleed problem.

i´m nearly always recording bass and guitar loud in the main room as it is much easier to conversate with the player between the different takes than talking to him via talkback to his headphones although he is sitting right next to you.

 

[MondoLikeMetal]

If you're going DI with guitar, and you want to get feedback by putting your pick-ups next to monitors, you can't use headphones, of course.

 

[El_Gato]

yes, there's some feedback, why do you say so?

 

[Jevil]

Always headphones, loud guitar. Drums and metronome well balanced.

to all the ones using the monitors, don't you get feedback picked up by the pickups?

 

[MondoLikeMetal]

I ment GOOD feedback i. e. Stoner Metal. If recording guitar and you WANT feedback, use monitors

 

[ahjteam]

loud and isolating headphones

 

[RedDog]

Cranked headphones, sitting right in front of a loud-ass amp.

I used to use headphones when recording guitars, but what actually works better for me is muting the cymbals and turning up the metronome, youll play way tighter white the kick and snare w/o hearing cymbals.

I've gotten metronome bleed into the pickups from a headphone mix before. How's that for loud enough?!

cool idea, i generally like hearing everything else pretty loud, if the drums are already tight on the click, why even bother using a click? I'll have to try to remember to get the cymbals down.
