    Electric guitar mixing and EQ

    Yeah but what confused me was - why do they add an EQ after the amp or amp sim if you can just turn down the bass and middle knobs unless the EQ plugin works differently.

    Electric guitar mixing and EQ

    Interesting stuff guys, the things you learn on these forums gotta love it. I was just Playing around with some of Darrell Dimebag presets on amplitube and it's closer to the sound I'm going for. It seems to be going through 2 amps with some delay and some trickery with the signal chain - I...

    Electric guitar mixing and EQ

    Yeah I think you're right, I've tried a lot of different combinations and it gets to the point 'Is this what i really want? maybe there's a better sound out there" - I'm gunning for something like Slash or Gary Moore - that kind of general raunchy sound with a 'wah' effect. Amplitube has a lot...

    Electric guitar mixing and EQ

    Probably a newb question But when recording electric guitar, why do a lot of people put an EQ in the signal chain? I always thought the bass, middle and treble on the amp (or amp sim) itself is enough. I never know if it's necessary to throw one on especially for distorted guitar. I know the...

    Electric - Guitar Rig 6

    Hey guys bit of a noob here. I got a cheap haze guitar online, not sure if its that or my ears (or maybe both) but I'm going for a nice warm round distorted (semi decent studio quality) electric sound but what I'm getting is just too rusty, rough , over the top and unpleasant to listen to. Any...

    Singer songwriter mixing

    (Acoustic guitar + vocalist here) Apologies if it's been asked already. I know we're always told that a mix depends on the song you're playing and the vocals etc but as a busker myself in the past no matter what songs I played live it always sounded good (on the same EQ settings). Why is...

    Vocals, more bass

    Bit of a silly question coming through When recording vocals - I want them to sound a bit thicker. My busking amp (roland street cube) has a bass knob for the vocals making the vocal sound nice and thick. Yet we are advised to cut out all the low frequencies when we EQ in our DAW, but aren't...

    Mic input too weak

    After years of experimenting and following advice and tutorials I still can't get to the bottom of this mystery. Just recently got a new Behringer C-1 mic through my Presonus audiobox 96 (to replace my scarlett CM-25 mic) the quality is just too soft like it's muffled as well even with phantom...

    Poor quality recordings

    Hi all I've been recording music covers for 7 years and still can't get it right, so I belong in the noob section. Simple acoustic and vocals through an Audiobox 96 through Studio one 3 (Scarlet CM-25 mic), previously used the Line 6 UX1 and Scarlet 2i2 (Ableton live & Cubase respectively) and...
