A nice tip is to set the length of the clip you're recording in to a fixed length, f.i. 4 bars. You do this by double clicking on the clip, or, when the audio track is selected, pressing Shift + Tab. On the bottom you can see a panel where you can change this. This way you don't have to stop the recording manually.

For some reason I can't get my own tip to work anymore... Double-clicking an audio clip isn't working, and since it's not possible to overdub an audio clip, editing the clip length of an existing clip isn't helpful either. I own a Push so it's not a big problem for me personally (you can set fixed length for audio clips in Push very easily), but I do like to know why it's not working anymore... Can't find anything on the web about this as well... Anyone?

First thing you need to do is switch it to track view so you can see what you are doing with your song, this can be done by clicking on the top right where the 3 lines are, that way you will be using it like a traditional recording programme and might make better sense for song writers instead of recording short clips.

Check out the "LePou" VST for great free hi-gain amp plugins, but they require an IR plugin (Impulse Response - ie: Cab simulator) after the plugin to make them sound good. I find a classic Marshall cab sounds best for me. This is all done in software, and while I use an outboard DI to colour my sound a touch, plugin in to my MOTU M2 directly works great too. Also be sure to put a compressor upfront in your chain, something with fairly fast response and attack, ratio of 2:1 up to 4:1 depending on taste/style of music.

I'm sorry, but this video is far from being helpful to me. In my view a lot of things that are self-explanatory, while important information is being ignored right from the start. I don't need to know that I have to turn on the metronome for recording. What I do need to know is why I my analoge effects won't work in front of my audfio interface. As soon as I connect them I have no signal anymore. It is not as easy as presented here. In addition I want to add that it might be a good idea to use effects that most guitarist use, instead of high end boutique stuff for 500 bucks upwards... Because after the problem with external effects and their implementation is fixed, I still need to know how to get a good basic sound (with effects turned off). I need to know about plugin- amps and their pros and cons. Because honestly, the sound is just as bad in the video as it is in my first attempts at recording. Further it would be useful to know about how to lower latency... etc etc.

@rt-uh6mt6 жыл бұрын
"Better sound" what does that mean? It's up to you to find your tone. 1. You can record direct (like he does here) or you can mike an amp. 2. You can use plugins to add effects or amp simulations or you can use pedals and a real amp to shape the tone. If you don't like the pedals he uses then experiment till you find ones you like. 3. What he didn't go over, keep the signal set as high as you can without going over 0 db. Often this means keeping the average signal at about -10db. In this example though it's much lower, probably due to this being less of a problem recording direct than with a microphone. But the idea is a hotter (louder) signal masks background noise better.

Wow, not sure if I really learned all that much, this video seems more concerned with production quality than useful recording content. A couple of issues: 1) I see four, possibly five effects pedals/stomp boxes, and I can't tell that they 'effected' anything! Did you have them dialed into the 'Placebo' setting? 2) When he selected the different cabs in Ableton, each setting did barely anything to the sound/signal as well. It was downright laughable when he excitedly says "Rock!", when upon clicking it, the already mind numbingly plain sound actually gets tinnier and weaker! 3) The sound of the metronome clicking throughout the recordings was annoying and distracting, very amateurish. All in all, based on what was presented here, I have to humbly give the remainder of this series a pass. I appreciate the effort/work though, thank you....
