Great ola, Next idea for QNA : Can you show us the design process (or R&D) behind your brand solar guitar? Or maybe even how you choose and manage your brand identity. Thank you
This helped me a TON. I ended up with a Volt 2 and I go direct in from my Friedman IR-X, and some Yamaha HS4 as my monitors from the Volt. Didnt even need the computer to be able to just play.
you're right, there are tons of videos out there.. but.. they all telling you what they've learned 10 years ago. No comparisons between going into an interface direct, recording the amp, using a modeling amp, using a multieffect etc.. if you already have plenty of stuff at home and want to start to record, what can you use what can you sell.. this topic can be easy but i can also get very complex..
i got a steinberg 2 channel while my regular stuff is in storage. it was a return, wasn't even out of the foam bag, a pair of mackie monitors, they interconnect over rca, old crap... that still works fine. figuring how to get pipewire to route the audio for the guitar effect program separately from the laptop speakers was not easy, NO instructions in the app(helvum), once figured it became stupidly easy. then... guitarix, the lag while tuning, and also playing a 3d video game is unacceptable, but i don't intend to play while playing. home recording these days, it's a cheap paradise.
Ahh remember the good ol' days when you would load up all your computer's PCI slots with soundcards in conjunction with using the onboard sound for a multchannel input... it was like living in the future back then.
I use a Line 6 UX2 interface, plugged into my PC which has a Ryzen 7 1700X 8-core processor at 3.4 GHz, 16gb of ram, and a Nvidia RTX 2060. I have a 2 monitor display setup. I have M-Audio BX3 graphite monitors plugged into the analog outs of the UX2. There's also a digital output, if I want to run the sound to stereo receiver with a speaker array to hear how a mix would sound, not through the studio monitors. For plugins, I have Amplitube 5 and also Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol which came with Guitar Rig 7. As for DAWs, I have FL studio 20 and Ableton lite...but any DAW would work (they all have their learning curves). Sometimes and often in the past, I would just use Audacity, when I'm recording direct or with a pedal setup or with mic'd speakers. I don't have a space to mic up my speaker cabs, anymore, so I have been doing less, mic'd recording. I also have a Lenovo gaming laptop, which I have most of the same software, installed, and a small behringer interface (or an older M-Audio interface) that I can take with me, if I'm going over a friend's house and want to take my digital rig. He's got amps and cabs, so, I typically will just output to them, so, I don't have to bring my active monitors with me.
15 years ago i used my Pc to record some guitar. Sounded a bit like ass, But my chain was guitar, DOD super distortion, Fostex 4 track cassette mixer, And a 2into1 cord Left and right RCA into one 3.5mm, that was plugged into my computers microphone input. I used Soundforge or Cakewalk to record, (I don't remember which), the Guitar. That was cheap.
this is what i do ive stopped using real amps at home i got myself a pair or some decent but inexpensive speakers and now i have any tone i want that sound killer
It is not that much, to buy a Audio Interface with 2 xlr inputs.And make sure it has phantom power. I use Line 6 with stereo patching. Yamaha Steinberg UR22MKII 2-Channel USB Interface. 2 x 2 USB 2.0 audio interface 24-Bit/192 kHz & Two Class-A D-PRE mic preamps . PRESONUS is awful. Plastic crap. Most of them are. But the Yamaha is all metal. Very solid build.
can you collaborate with seymour to get some duncan solars inspired by the dimebucker??? which obviously has a unique sought after character/vibe/flavor, cheers!
Ola you are good at everything. But everything is black the light is a bit too weird and we can't read the visual. You can't wear black with a black background without a perfect light gigs. Good luck we love your work.
There is nothing in this video telling us what setup do you use to get your sound out. Your just telling us how to put cables in the interface and computer. Or maybe you have crackd versions of the softwares 😂
Great ola, Next idea for QNA : Can you show us the design process (or R&D) behind your brand solar guitar? Or maybe even how you choose and manage your brand identity. Thank you
A recent rig rundown of your desk would be awesome. Audio interface/ Monitor speakers ect... plz🤓
This helped me a TON. I ended up with a Volt 2 and I go direct in from my Friedman IR-X, and some Yamaha HS4 as my monitors from the Volt. Didnt even need the computer to be able to just play.
That's awesome, thank you!
can you do a walk through video on this ?
We definetly need such tutorial from you Ola :)

great video Ola! make more videos like this!
Excellent info. Going to save this one to my yt page, for later reference material. Thank you Ola!

Hello Ola 🤘I need to get that Hoodie next .

Great info! Do you record in 44.1kHz, 24bit WAV?
Before I had an audio interface I used a Rocksmith cable and Bias FX standalone 😂
What driver did you use? I cant get my rocksmith cable to be reconigized by my pc
Ey, I got the Volt 4, the slightly bigger version of that one. Works well for music and gaming!

I just have a guitar to usb cable. think I got it from a rocksmith game yrs ago lol. then use amplitube or biasfx.
this is what i do ive stopped using real amps at home i got myself a pair or some decent but inexpensive speakers and now i have any tone i want that sound killer
Are there any no-no's you can recommend when using plugins and interfaces?
Thx for confirming what I thought. It sounds too simple^^
What types of cables should be use to connect rack mount gear? Short length Guitar or patch?
Ola does it DA MAC WAY
Qotd: why no solar guitars with 16 or 17 inch radius?
how about quad cortex? do u still need interface when using quad cortex or kemper or whatever?
Don't need one for helix so I guess you don't need one for Kemper either
I don’t have a cortex, but I can use my headrush mx5 as an interface, it has some noticeable delay though
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

nice background hum.
try a PhatCat in the neck...
Good video

What is a computer?
Ola you are good at everything.
But everything is black the light is a bit too weird and we can't read the visual.
You can't wear black with a black background without a perfect light gigs.
Good luck we love your work.

Reaper is technically not free. It's like winrar ;) same kind of "free"
