Misha Mansoor's Guitar Recording Tips 

@@MedvedDisbalance Superior Drummer

same !!

word

done deal

Lmao

are there any option like fractal but with cheap version? lol

thanks man! I tried that process out and it works well :)

Jeff Corcoran Glad it helped :)

But if you never actually perform a 12th fret power chord, then wouldn't this method kind of lose it's relevance?

Carlos Fapdoola Yes but it will ensure everything else never peaks beyond clipping point

Airtrooper719 XBL You won't be getting max ratio though

That riff is just so huge when he quad tracked it

ikr when it came on wonder if he used the dingwall he has or not because that sounds like one to me

The shit just dropped when the bass hit

Except it's a guitar. 🙄🙄

It's a guitar lol)) just pitched the whole octave down

Nah i have the same sound and everything i use is bearly 2000 $

@@mrbungle3310 Honestly you can get amazing sound for nearly nothing. Spend $100 on an interface, spend $100 more on any of the neural dsp plugins and you're good to go. Ola Englund recorded his Master of the Universe album using only either the nameless or the NTS plugin, can't remember which, and it sounds absolutely sick.

Not true at all. Reaper: $60 Pod Farm 2: $100 Line 6 UX1 Interface: $80 Rhythm Rascal: $30 For a grand total of: $270 You can go even cheaper than this but the point is NO, you don’t have to have Thousands of Dollars to achieve this sound.

@@GiletteRazorsharp I have the same setup, 100 for interface, 100 for nts and not getting anywhere near these results. Too much noise, noise gates dont fix it :/

@@EvoSvex Is it like a constant 50/60Hz hum? Sounds like you're describing a ground loop.

+Ryker Blade Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites! I'm bathing in the thought of it!

+Ryker Blade "There were times at the top of the Earth that I wish i could throw everyone and everything." You just mixed the 2 different versions of the line plus a wrong word in that quoting.

+Agustin Torres We get it, you know the lyrics. Nobody gives a shit, let them think what they want.

+Agustin Torres this isnt a serious problem they're literally song lyrics grow the fuck up bud

Mrfailstandstil 😂😂😂😂👍🏼

I’ll buy you a tshirt, bud. But it has to be a Periphery tshirt. 😛

Ali Dez lol I was a stuped bitch now I have a job and apartment

I just had the same revelation!

dakotatyler2 same here. that album is fuckin great.

Oh sweet jesus yes. I've gotten my superior rig sounding... good but. It's still missing stuff.

InVerum i miss the punch in my snare..kick is kinda ok but snare is low as shieet

Mason Stewart i use the nir-z custom now..i think i miss something in the processing more than raw sounds..what i have now is kinda ok but not as punchy as his drums or modern day babylon ones..

Any tips on getting a meaty bass drum? I'm missing the SMACK, the steak against the wall. It isn't clear I've EQ'd it to death but I'm out of ideas.

ive achieved a good result layering other kicks from steve slate drums and addictive drums

Honestly, for instrument direct in and soft-amps the interface doesn't make a huge difference at all. When you are tracking multiple channels, with high dollar mics, then the cheap preamps and internals start to show their color.

You are seriously the LAST person I expected to see here. That's all. I can't answer your question, sorry.

Astronaut Blue That's fine, I already found my answer =)

Yeah definitely you just have to get a sick tone of the AXE FX. Good luck man

CrazyBadCuber Hope you went with the Axe FX. Amazing device.

Kemper Profiling Amp RULES!!! njoy xx xx :)

that tone build is like an hour and a half video cose I just got my axe fx and really toke me some dailing in oh the freedman model is very flexible amp so the dh4 diezel

+fabio manzanito If you know what to do you simply need about 5-10minutes to dial in a tone.

if i want your help i will let you know sit back and wait for my call

you could just use Guitar Rig 5 through Cubase and get your tone that way

hahah for me that's the next vid on my playlist

Usually usb midi keyboards don’t produce their own sound so there wouldn’t be a reason to plug it into an audio interface

Plug your midi keyboard into your computer directly, it will show up as a midi device you can select in your daw

@@charlespockert8948 thank you. 5 years later. I now know the answer!!

@@LucidSoundz haha, YW. You did actually already work this out before now right...??? Please tell me this is sarcasm and you haven't been waiting 5 years to find this out xD

@@charlespockert8948 2 months later and I also want to know...

@SonoriaBR I'm aware lmao

***** So one cannot lower the Axe FX's rate?

Holy fuck it's Lyle.

You can monitor clipping with input monitors in your DAW. I'm not sure why he's using the scarlet. The scarlet does have nice preamps though

It's most likely as he's demoing/reviewing that piece of equipment. In other videos you can see he's got much fancier interfaces. It also allows him to switch between monitoring the DAW output, and the straight interface output as he mentioned, which is not as easy to do on an AXE FX as far as I know.

Holy shit, it's you...

Misha Mansoor What do you think ?

Dorian CIET More work than what it's worth. You're making your computer run an unneccessary plug in whereas you could, and should, just re-track another playthrough. It should take seconds to re-track another playthrough. It just seems really unneccessary unless the musician is severely lacking and seriously cannot lay another track within 5 minutes. PLUS what you want is the DIFFERENCE in the attack which creates the wideness, you may be playing a large chord and in the first track your bass strings are taking a lot of space, but your second track with emphasis on the high strings will bring clarity and definition to the chord, so when played together you get the nice clear, defined, chord you want. If you missed any articulation in the first track, the second track should catch it and beef it up. It's hard to tell with super clean players like Misha since he's solid on all these playthroughs, but IF there were any inconsistencies in the articulation of the segment, the double tracking would make them invisible. Quad tracking is the way to go though. 4 separate playthroughs.

Very interesting point of view, thanks !

DozOfficial No problem! Ultimately it's up to you, but yeah, the more processing power the better right? Wish I could explain better but yeah I think double/quad tracking is definitely worth it.

Hannibal burress?

I have one of these and every time I sit down to record I read the label and my brain goes "scarrrrleeeeeeettttttttttttttt"

Mmm look at those deltoids big boi

Make your own.

Be aware though: quad tracking is way more sensitive to sloppy playing. You have to be tighter when quad tracking, or else it all just clouds together. The result, however, is HUGE.

I was definitely aware. Just tried it last night and its much more of a banger, you need to perform your tracks identical to the last. That's the only way it will work. Time consuming, but damn it's a nice outcome

***** Or you could try what I do (of course depending on what sound you want) 70% pan, left and 70% pan right and a third monotrack with a spatial stereo effect plugin. :)

***** the first two hard pan L and R. For the 3rd and 4th, Pan around 70-75 L and R. Should create some good stereo spacing without being too centered.

***** ive always done it that way. It seems tedious on riffs where both guitar parts are the same but its essentially just double tracking for each guitarist when there are 2 different parts being played.

I know there are a lot of good tutorials out on youtube as to how to get a good tone from the POD HD series! Check out Fortiori Johnny for example!

Here's an entire website dedicated to what you're asking: www.foobazaar.com/podhd/toneGuide/ I know Paul Ortiz of Chimp Spanner also does some nice quick tutorial vids. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out!

Darkglass B7K. Nuff said... ^^

@@CozyCatte i think that sounds more like a b7k micro x7 combo

Not only that ^^^ But, sending the Axe FX through an additional preamp makes the signal a little more clean. Also, it's probably a little easier the way he has it set up, because if he goes to record vocals or anything that cannot be recorded with the Axe FX, his IO is already set up and he doesn't have to go through the hassle of changing the playback engine and such.

Also if he wants to run at 44.1, the Axe FX II is locked at 48.

I just prefer having a dedicated interface, I find the Axefx isn't the best at running mixes, though I do that on the road when I am trying to keep the rig minimal sometimes.

***** Running the Axe through there is kinda nice, we are going to try it out for vocals on the next album, it would be interesting to see how bass works with it too!

Misha Mansoor I have one of the 2i2 interfaces and was wondering if you could answer this for me. I've been using an AMT E1 pedal going into the 1/4" input, but with the input set to instrument instead of line. I'm having to run the gain really low on the channel to avoid clipping, would running it as a line input make things easier?

If it ain't broke dont fix it.

@@codymarkley8372if you can do it better, change

ScottWDrums as long as it complements other instruments 🤔

One of the cords must be for his microphone that is not channeled into Cubase.

The Axe FX has stereo FX, (modulations, reverbs and delays). He's no using any FX, so he's just tracking one of the inputs. That's why you only see one track being recorded in Cubase

Joseph Lauletta TYBG 🙌

i know how that feel bro

you don't necessarily need axe fx. as a much cheaper alternative take a look at TH2 software. I think it hits way above its weight. Unless you are touring like misha, one or two really good software is all you need.

ADZCreations Yes, I know. I'm actually quite content with guitar rig. It serves my needs.

fully possible. the axe fx is also just a simulation, just from a different company. guitar rig isn't bad imo, it just needs some playing around

klick2destruct all right, thanks for answer i've been searching around the RU-vid lately seems people claim the same so i am probably going to get it these days. tnx again!

Good to hear :)

Just get some really good impulse response. The stock cabs that come with guitar rig aren't that great.

It's called an actual guitar

HammerDimension I apologise, my comment might have looked genuine to somebody who hasn't seen Steve Terreberry's "how to be djent". And even so, it's no more of an actual guitar than any 7 or 8 string guitar. By your logic, the only true guitar is the original form, which only had one string.

No, by my logic a guitar has 6 strings, that is what a normal guitar has and so what I'm referring to as an "actual" guitar, and I'm simply making fun of extended range guitars since they have exploded in popularity in the last few years even though they are largely unnecessary (in the sense that most people aren't really utilizing them fully). Just poking fun though, I'm not against them. Also I've never heard of a guitar having only 1 string at any point. The original "guitar" had multiple strings. Perhaps you are thinking of some older chordophone that predates the guitar.

elasdickband027 It's a shame when humour goes over heads...

***** The scale length for extended range guitars is larger due to the fact that regular 6 strings cannot produce the proper frequencies extended ranges can. So just drop tuning a 6 does not work, if you are going to talk in a technical aspect.
