What are “IR’s”?

Tried the Plexi with everything on “10” and it sounds like poo. I didn’t try the comp/sustainer pedal in front though. Tonight, I tried putting my TS9 in front of my interface and it sounded “okay”. I’ll keep playing with it ... that’s what she said. ? Thanks!

The Plexi is the UAD plugin I bought and I’m a little disappointed. I’ve tried every configuration, every combination of mics, placements, pans, and levels. I’ve even tried running the Plexi plugin with a tube screamer plugin but it sounds even worse. The whole plugin Plexi is just uninspiring...

Thanks Dave, What you're describing is exactly what I'm experiencing. What I hear out of the amp is DRASTICALLY different than what is being recorded. And true, it appears that less gain is needed when mic'ing my amp. And the EQ I hear coming out of the amp is TOTALLY different than what is...

I’m hoping someone can help me find a good lead guitar tone for home recording. I have a Universal Audio “Arrow” interface that came with plugins but I’m just not happy with the tone. I was really excited to try the “Marshall Plexi” plug-in but it just doesn’t provide the lead tone I’m looking...

The videos were one of the things that made me choose Reaper. They’re very well done for beginners (like me) and they are all done in sequence which is extremely helpful. Other DAW’s I have tried were very complex and quite intimidating for beginners, were a pain in the ass to install, required...

A HUGE thanks to all who replied. And a special thanks to all who suggested Reaper! I downloaded it last night, watched a few videos and (so far) it's exactly what I was looking for. I love the simplicity and their tutorial videos are a tremendous help for someone like me, who's just starting...

Newbie here looking to get into home recording. I've recently purchased my computer and interface. Now I need to find a compatible DAW and I need your help. My Computer * MSI GS63 Stealth * Windows 10 OS * Intel Core i7 (8 gen) * 16GB RAM * Hard Drive: 256GB M.2 SSD with 1TB (SATA) *...

Awesome. Thanks Chili! :)

UPDATE I've been reading up on the Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and though it will work, I've decided on the UA Arrow interface for several reasons. Problem is, the computer I ordered (that is due to be delivered tomorrow) doesn't have a Thunderbolt 3 port. So I went to Best Buy to see what...

Thanks so much DM60!

Thanks DM60. I'm looking at the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Would that be a good choice?

Total newbie here. I want to purchase a laptop for home recording and need some help. I prefer a Windows based laptop as opposed to a MacBook. I have never used a Mac and feel that I have too much to learn with running the programs themselves to have to worry about learning a whole new operating...
