    I like the trick where the lead eq is bumped and then you reverse it on the rhythms. Very clever idea!

    Start the gain with zero (or almost zero), don't put too much extreme gain.
    900 hz to 1.5khz for lead guitar voice.

    Hi Bernth, hope you are well. I'm enjoying your channel and appreciate this video. Will check out the full one on patreon. I would love to better understand how to organize riffs for becoming a metal song. I can record riffs but after a couple i am not sure how to logically organize them and flow them together etc. I don't have a band to flow ideas off of and aspire to be my own band (for now). Thanks a lot.

    • @frequencymajor
      @frequencymajor 3 роки тому +1

      I try learning the same skills of structuring by copying favorite songs at first,then it is in my subconscious and becomes easier to do on my own, also try different arrangements of riffs.

  • @gen19musicchannel35
    @gen19musicchannel35 11 місяців тому +1

    That was awesome insight! I'm recording with a 9 string ( I know, cringe for some ). There is just something about the sound that I really liked especially since the scale length is 30". I am using Archetype Rabea and Archetype Abasi. Using the ADAM for bass with Neural DSP Parallax. My guitar is going in clean. I am only putting a bit of noise suppression and a compressor at the front of the chain (using the compressor partly to attenuate the signal). Though the Amp plugins have gating, it's almost too much so I use a T.C. Electronics Sentry, which I have been very happy with!
    I am going to watch this video again because guitar tone is always something I struggle with when recording. It sounds one way playing but listening back always seems different. I look for separation in my recordings, ideally that you can listen with your eyes closed and clearly distinguish each instrument in their own space.
    This was very helpful! Thanks!!!

    @dizgil6881 9 місяців тому +2

    Love the video, thanks Bernth! After setting up the gain on the 2i2 and using archetype Nolly and other archetypes, with a noise gate, there's 0 noise. But as soon as touching a string there is a background noise that stays there while playing. Have tried all sorts of pickup heights, noise gate afterwards, different cables, different guitars. If i turn the 4khz and 8khz eq all the way down the noise dissappears but obviously the sound is shit. I don't hear the same kind of noise in this video. Any ideas? it's honestly not too loud but i notice it and drives me crazy! Thanks if you have any info.

  • @MrotekChess
    @MrotekChess Місяць тому

    Please do this type of video more often. This was full of great tips. I would love a video more focused on building a good tone for scratch (different examples/sub genres) in the Kemper (amp) and DI processing (maybe with different amp VSTs). Difference between amps, pedals, vsts, virtual mic placement, post processing, etc.. Maybe different ways to mix them too? I'd love to get a feel for the workflow to build the right sound for the mix in different scenarios/genres. A lot is experimenting, I know, but seeing a bad ass engineer play around with a bad ass guitarist is content IMO. Cheers!

    Great vid, you should defo make more of this. But there is only one issue with it, if you allow me to mention.
    No hackling really, but the title of this vid suggesting "home recording", and what I saw was a proper studio with expensive equipment.
    What we muggles would like to see, when we search the Yt for 'home recording' is tipps how to get low budget (free) DAW, how to use it, how to create drum lead and add bass to it for the guitar.
    Let alone how to publish cover songs without copyright claims and hopefuly monetize our vids.
    Love your content, keep up the good work!

    I'm struggling trying to get a good quality sound when using amp sims. For some reason, the guitar tracks sound kinda ''muddy'', I already tried with different EQ and compressors but it's almost the same. I'm not sure if it's my interface (scarlett solo) or if I need a better external preamp, comp, eq, etc. I'm trying to move to a Presonus interface with better preamps, but I'm not sure if it will help to get a better sound. Any help/ideas will help. Thank you.
