This is what you have to do when you're recording: be meticulous about everything that could screw up your recording. Don't pay much attention about the rest. A total newbie would lost hours with errors like this. Way to go Graham!
So how do you record with latency? Graham, I have the same soundcard and a beast of a computer but still getting tons of latency. If I try setting up Pro Tools to 64 or 32 samples, then the audio is completely glitchy - even in a blank project with no plugins on! I'm sure I'm not the only one struggling with this. Would appreciate some tips and tell us your settings please!
i7 4790k 32GB of DDR3 Ram Running Pro Tools and files from a Samsung 850 Evo SSD Like I said, it's a beast.. Should be more than sufficient to run PT without latency but i just can't figure it out.
I’m using Bias FX by Positive Grid for my virtual amp going into Reaper for my DAW. One thing I like doing in Bias FX is splitting my signal between two amps at the same time (this is an awesome feature) and panning to each side and recording those on separate tracks. I’ll do the with a total of four different amp types, but it only takes two takes (not counting do-overs) to have four different guitar sounds to play with. This has cut my workflow down a TON!!!
GREAT VIDEO AND TIPS!! I've been recording since the mid 80's, and I always learn a few great tips from your videos. You definitely have a immense understanding of the new way of computer recording. Much of the modern equipment and software is so easy for the younger generation to grasp and relay to us "OLD FARTS"!! keep up the good work my friend!!
Graham loves his Behringer B1. He always looks so proud of that mic. My first XLR mic was the Behringer C2 Matched Pair and it was definitely worth the $60. I put it up against AKG C214's as overheads and the C2's get almost as good as a recording. I also like them better than the C214's for acoustic guitar. Just thought I'd post about those mics on here. Try them out, if you're looking for a nice, inexpensive matched pair of mics.
I''m going to build my own personal music studio, I am a new to this, so I have no idea of what I'm doing and I am so glad that I found your videos series as I think they will help me get started in something I have dreamed of doing my whole life! So thanks for these excellent videos I think they will come in handy in getting my life's dream going in the right direction.
Your method for recording acoustic guitar with the mic Angie’s towards the neck is the best micing technique I’ve ever tried. I’m re-recording all my acoustic tracks now using this method. Thanks for your awesome channel.
Hey Graham! One quick question.. I own a POD HD500 and it says it can be used as an audio interface. I have been using this to try to record my songs and, honestly, it's worked just fine. BUT Do you think I should get a different audio interface? I mean, one built only for that purpose? Thank you! (greetings from Brazil!)
I think it probably depends on what two tones you use, but it might not change all that much. It's best to just record it twice for the subtle differences.
Thanks man this has opened up a whole new world for me to recording seriously I learned on a 4 track so much easier than ping ponging everything on earth
I love these series of videos you are making Graham! I love the step-by-step approach! You're truely sharing great content :) I might not be your usual target audience but I just love watching your videos, they have helped me a lot not just in recording, but also in getting me to find the proper mindset to go foward and stop looking back at my old stuff, and overall develop as an artist! I'm currently building a fanbase on Twitch, with a lot of great people and an awesome community, and I must say that a part of the success comes from your tips and advices. Thanks to you xxx
Good day. I just wanna ask if would it be okay to have a condense microphone for vocals and an shure sm58 microphone for acoustic guitar? Would that be good for a live sessions or for video recording?? More power bro. Learning from Philippines..
Hi Graham (or anybody else who cares to chip in), I'm trying to record acoustic finger-picked all through a song with an electric strummed all through as well......it's hard trying to get them to sound nice together, any ideas? Thanks!!
Excellent video! Concise; well explained; not too long; not too short. Will read your Radio Ready Guide. Problem is, the kind of Alternative Rock that I am interested in is very radio, flat TV and (God forbid) computer speaker unfriendly and require headphones of Sennheiser Momentum quality. Even Audio Technica Ath-M50X headphones can sound muffled when listening to the music of some Alt Rock bands.
To anyone. Does having an interface remove the hum on a guitar when recording? I plug in straight into my PC and I know it may be the guitar or cables but generally speaking, would it make a difference on the humming? Thanks.
Now getting clear concept, Recording Music and Vocals. Never felt I could record my own music, thought only an engineer could. I wrongly second and third guessed myself, not capable to record my music. I always understood arranging all my songs and does it joyfully easy. The Music Recording Tutors here WOW: You pushed me on I got confidence at last. 24/7 my whole Atmosphere Home and everything exciting and hopeful, Positively Successful. People wonder what going on with me. I don't explain. Educating in Recorded Music Production was easy for me to understand. I'm fully prepared to perfect in these courses. Million Thanks and blessing to all of you.
Haha I was just about to write a comment just like this I don't know some Doctor call it like ADHD/ACDC whateva. I don't know what the fuck those letters are supposed to mean but you were some steps ahead of me hahahah Keep it real Boy! Fw Larry dynamite
Hey Graham, we met at Hybrid and NAMM recently. Just want to mention an acoustic recording tip for those self producing singer/songwriters. I have got some great tone recording direct through a Zoom A3 (it does acoustic modeling, with FX and mic modeling). The biggest benefit is for live playing but if you do that it's also great for recording and getting a huge variety of acoustic tones. (I realize this series is about recording on a budget, this is just an extra thought.)
maybe this is a stupid question, but do I have to turn up any of my knobs ON my guitar (not the interface) to record, or do I keep it as low as possible? I'm facing a problem where by my interface just needs very little gain up and it's already 50-75% of the track level, the gain ring doesnt even light up. is it a must to make it so that the green ring on the interface lights up everytime i strum it? sorry for poor english.
Can I just put out that panning guitars 100% left and right is a bad idea. Fluff from Riffs, Beards and Gear mentions that when listening to songs in a car you lose definition of the other guitar, but I find that hard panning just takes away from a coherent sound when listening through headphones. Panning 90% left and right gives you the same wide effect, but solves these issues.
I have a question. My DI signal is really really weak, and i have my gain knob on my 2i4 set to about 2 o'clock and its about 15 % "headroom" when i watch the fader in Studio One, so if i crank it more im close to clipping. Does anyone know how to help me?
Hi guys! Someone knows how or where i can find the plugin Grahan uses to record the eletric guitars? I'm also uses Pro Tools First and my PT don't have this plugin. Thanks =)
Hey! Could you please tell me how to get rid of the noise on the higher gain guitar tracks? I tried noise gates but they tend to cut long notes when they're dying out.
Nice looking tele. Sounds great. What a wonderful age we live in. One of my first jobs was working in a music studio in Nashville. Massive analog equipment that filled huge rooms and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in 1990s money. When I wanted to record at home, I had to satisfy myself with a Tascam 4 track tape deck that was still several hundred dollars. Flash forward 25 years and for the cost of that single 4 track tape recorder, you could have a ton of exponentially better sounding recording equipment. What a time to be alive.
Does anyone know why the Eleven Lite plugin is missing from within Pro Tools? I downloaded the plugin file from Avid, installed it, I can see it on my Avid Application Manager screen as "installed", but it is not in Pro Tools itself. Anyone got any ideas?
Something I do that helps, is to remember to leave room for a "count down" or count in, at the start of the song. A count "in" really helps for coming in on that first note or beat. 1, 2, 3, 4 can be done in any fashion as long as it lands me on that first note and beat. When I first started doing it, the process seemed clumsy and a bit wobbly but the more I did it, the more I got at ease with the counting and thus the coming in on time. You can always mute the Count later or substitute Drum Stick clicks for the numbers.
I just started making (well, attempting to make) music, and I really was wondering, how high or low the gain should be when recording vocals, electric, and acoustic guitar respectively? And how should it sound?
Really appreciate these - you speak very clearly and are a great teacher! How would you record a Yamaha Grand Piano (mic placement, etc)? Would you prefer to record the real piano or use a midi and have a grand piano software sound? Thanks!
Awesome video, song sounds freakin awesome, I'm recording for our church and amps are a BIG problem for me, they give me so many problems with the hum and distortion , what is a good amp plug in that is a reasonable price,
Thank you so much for that very useful video, but for my ears your guitars out of tune. It's very important thing because even such a detail can spoil all mix. Cheers!
Great Guide! Well pleased because your using the interface I also use. what kind of settings do you have for the interface when recording and what's your latency?
Another excellent tutorial Graham...you are really on the right track helping many that need this tutorial to get going on recording. Cheers. Ps. I see you have a 300,000 fan base to, congratulations.
Wow great series. Thanks man. Can't believe how different digital is from analogue in terms of the order of laying down the tracks. Looking forward to the finished song.
For recording, the level after the ampsim shouldn't matter as it is the dry signal that is being recorded by your daw. This means you can change those settings post recording.
Hi Graham. Loving your videos! I learn almost everything I need from your channel alone. Just have a question about how you managed to get the Focusrite plugin to work in Protools first. I've got the Scarlette 2i2 studio and can't get any 3rd party plug ins to work even in the right format. Thanx!!
Bevan Soga I have a first gen 2i2 studio and afaik it comes with the same plugins which are vst2/3's which iirc aren't compatible with ProTools First as it only supports the aax format.
hey I have a question - so if I bought that audio interface, it comes with two DAW software, right? are these softwares on a disc? because my laptop doesn't have a CD rom slot, so I wouldn't be able to install them. if you buy this interface, can you digitally download the software online for free or something?
I just bought a Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface. However when I plug in my guitar to the interface and try to record I get sound but a ton of popping and clicking noises... How do I fix this?
The problem I'm having recording guitar is that I don't get the simulated amp sound while I'm recording. It's only after the track is recorded that I can add the amp and effects. I have Waves GTR 3.5 and Positive Grids Bias FX application. What am I doing wrong or not doing? Any suggestions? Thank you.
