trying to achieve a john frusciante generic stereo tone from scratch step by step this i setup is a great starting point to get close to any tone John had from 2002 to 2022 #johnfrusciante #redhotchilipeppers #marshall
I've honestly never used a DAW. I've always had old Tascam units. The DAW just never felt fun to me. However, I'm now wanting to try it. What set up is this and what plug-ins? Thanks for reply.
You could lower your bridge pickup in the guitar and push those bass knobs to 8/9, didn't hear with headphones but I believe that is how john uses it. That's my settings on my pedalboard, bass 8, mid about 5 or 6, treb not more than 3. I think I also pushed some mids with a parametric EQ.
I keep It high to have a significant difference in gain with the neck pick up, and i don't think John's setting really matter anyways. Plug ins are by softube, i recently discovered them thanks to a subscriber and tried them
Hey man, just subscribed! I’m using Amplitube 5 but I’m gonna use your vid to get closer to the tone! Really inspiring and I’m understanding so much more of his tone now, almost sound like 2 guitars but it’s the same track, one question do you think it matters if you have 1 audio signal and one recording with 2 amps at the same time or is it better to record the same line on 2 recording lines and seperate the amp recording? So you get 2 audio tracks instead of 1
I thought that the most proper way to double track something was to actually record another take and try to reach that 99,9% as similar as the original one. That's what I've seen all music producers teach so far, instead of copying the take to another track into the DAW. I see that all the sound engineering you did over the tracks, I mean by using different amps for both, and some other tone modifications, helped on a good result by the end of the process. That would save guitarrists some time in studio sessions, but I wonder if it's worth it.
This Is not double tracking, i copied the track just to have It in 2 channels, i could have done a send from One Channel to the other but was simpler to understand like this
The difference here is that he's basically re-created John's actual chain (minus all the pedals etc.) which was essentially one guitar signal being split into two and each going into their own separate Marshall amps which gives a less mono and more interesting tone WITHOUT making it sound like two different guitars playing which is a different from double tracking where you WANT them to sound different so you get that super wide "doubled" effect. Both of these effects are different but equally as valid when producing so it just boils down to the sound you're trying to go for
Damn it was fire I was looking all day what practice tips do you recommend you should consider posting what you do really amazing guitar I wana get good and understand music
