How do slip edit guitars?!?!

[muckypup1]

I need to learn how to do it properly!

Does anyone have any pics or videos of how to edit guitar tracks this way? I'm used to cutting my one take up, or recording a few takes and then cutting them up and using the best played notes, but a lot of people say that you can't even notice slip editing has been done, so I'm keen to try it out

Any help would be cool dudes

On like... one link. I was just being sarcastic, btw.

Can you not just look up slip editing drums and apply that to guitar?

Yeah seriously it's the exact same thing.

I'm not sure...

I didn't know I haven't been able to download that video you uploaded because I've got a crap internet connection, and the video was for drum slip editing which I though was different to guitar slip editing, are they the same?

EDIT

Ah shit you just said they were haha

geebus muckypup, I figured you would have known they would be the same haha

It's the same and works pretty fucking awesome in Reaper. Thanks X1000 to Adam Wathan for sharing that technique

I'll be downloading his video in a couple of days, but from what every one is saying about it I know it will be good, so a early thanks dude \m/

Why would you want to edit guitars when record at home?
Isn't it easier to choose the best take while tracking?

I'm not sure, but for that Fear Factory style sound editing is the easiest way to get the sound

You on pro tools? Well if you are the best way to edit is make sure you also have a DI track going so you can see the notes better and then group the DI track and your DISTORTED track and just edit to grid and cut the silence/noise. Fade in, Fade out. BAM!

I'm only using Reaper... pro Tools would make this shit so much easier haha

I fail to see how editing could be much easier than it is in Reaper. I can fly through some editing in that program. I think you are solid where you are. Just do the normal slip editing thing and roll through it.

Check out my video in my signature. It's the same process for guitar editing... well everything actually. I do it all the time to drums, guitar DI's, bass and vocals.

I disagree. Adam's method in Reaper is faster (for me) than in PT. Especially with the click to cut macro

sit down and play as many takes as needed to sound good!

or you could just take one really good take, comp it with a couple other good takes and then edit the small errors. that's alot quicker than having the musician perform the same take OVER AND OVER until perfection... unless, perfection is not desired...

no matter how terrible a client is in terms of musical capability, you want him/her to feel comfortable and asking them to do a take over and over and over and over and over might come across as you undermining them. if something can be fixed in post production, i always keep that take. if it gets to a point where i can't get a better performance, we move on.

No it wouldn't. Slip editing is faster and easier than any editing you can do in ProTools. PT doesn't even have a slip editing feature like Reaper and Cubase.

edit the DI's and reamp, or don't edit at all. editing requires transients so if you're not doing DI's just don't bother.

if you're editing DI's and can't figure out how to slip edit them in reaper then there's something really wrong. split, alt+drag. that's it.
