Recording while using a cabinet modeler. (Electric guitar verson)

submitted by HelenHighwater to Guitar 7 monthsSep 5, 2024 17:55:54 ago (+3/-0)     (Guitar)

I have done some recording on and off. I had, at one point, stopped trying to mic amplifiers (think: pointing a shure right at the speaker to reduce any splashy noise, or unwanted acoustics.) My newer (few years ago) is to go direct. I pass my guitar through a Joyo Cab Box (I know, cheap, don't care). I love that it can model a cabinet and also add impusle response. You can also customize everything. I find the recording quality to be much better, and I don't need to mess around with setting up mics, etc.

Anyway, not an expert, but have learned a lot from failure. If anyone wants more info, or has any questions, i will be here instigating others out on the main board.

The best thing about recording direct is that you can always use a DI box to play that back into any amp of your choice later.

Digital sims are getting pretty realistic, too - but it’s still hard cleaning up the artifacts and harmonics after compression.

Digital is for fags.

That's what they said about the electric guitar, Mr. Luddite.

You might as well be using a synthesizer.

Not digital.

Most fags don’t use digital, though. They are too busy sucking dick to even play guitar. What happens now?
