Hi papa Pax, to add lang ako about dun sa part ng video where you talked about aiming for -14 LUFS, we can use limiters in our DAW (Reaper user here as well) to push our sound to at least say, -10 LUFS. Yes, the platforms will turn it down (digitally) to around -14 LUFS, pero pushing the signal a bit would still give the listener that perception that the sound is louder. Also, slapping a limiter not only make the track louder, ligtas ka pa nya sa digital clippings if bigla sumipa ung signal hehe. Just an unsolicited two cents tho. Great video as always!

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Thanks for this! Let me pin it! ❤️

[@aceredimo8139]

baka boss A yan!

[@namjuarez4981]

Hindi pa naman kelangan atupagin ang -14 LUFS kagad kapag beginner pa dahil malamang hindi pa sila maguupload sa Spotify anytime soon. It is much better to learn about gain staging first.

[@igncx_]

Swerte ng younger generation ngayon at meron ng katulad mo, Pax! Keep it up, man!

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Wag niyo pansinin yung Blur. I accidentally added it. HAHA. I'm gonna try to revert it back.

[@makoicriador]

as a 33 year old 'never-has-been', i find all your videos very informative. you literally saved me time (and money!) huminto ako tumugtog nung early 20's pa ako because 'life happened'. but now im older and medyo nagkaka time and budget na to build a setup again kahit bedroom hobby na lang, im really happy nakita kita sa social media. i am beyond grateful for all your effort sir Pax. napaka newbie-friendly pa ng videos mo, makes it easier for a noob like me to understand the technicalities. tuloy mo lang, please. :)

[@nethbt]

As an Amp guy myself in the 90s...I would say na ang benefit ng AmpSims at plugins Faaar faaar outweighs its disadvantages....In fact mukhang wala na yatang disadvantage

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

[@Rups_Yu]

Totoo yang sinabi mo, Pax. As a bass player, ginawa kong best practice to have two stems tracked para may raw DI tone and merong isang kargado ng plugins to have my actual desired tone. It enables the engineer to have the option to choose my tone or shape the raw DI track as he/she sees fit.

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

I actually had a part sa video na ito ng reamping HAHA. I removed it for another vid. Btw what splitter do you use?

[@Rups_Yu]

I don’t use a splitter at all. Literal na dalawang armed stems pero yung isa walang plugins and yung isa NDSP Darkglass lang with a compressor. Haha

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

@@Rups_Yu AHHH OOOHH. Yehess darkglass. ❤️❤️❤️ Mahal na mahal siguro tayo ng engineer kasi nagsesend tayo ng DI stems HAHA

[@Rups_Yu]

Di pa ko nagre-record dito sa Canada pero I might still observe that practice. This time though, I might track a third stem with my HeadRush as the main source sound para lang may separate take. Better for engineers and artists to have options.

[@BudgetToneHacks]

Early 90's may sariling realm ang sound engineers and parang mga mystical creatures ang tingin ng mga musikero sa kanila. One of our sessions sabi ko di ko marinig yung rhythm taas mo nga yung treb!! Sabi nung sound engineer pustahan tayo hindi treb ang issue mo. And he was right!!!

[@namjuarez4981]

About sa gain (volume) ng audio interface, much better na set mo ito sa ZERO. Tapos sa amp sim plugin mo kunin yung volume. Outdated na yung advice na "set mo yung gain sa audio interface hanggang sa point na mag clip (color red) tapos bawasan mo ng konti". Kapag ganyan ang ginawa mo, most of the time pag pinakinggan mo yung tunog ng amp sim paran tunog lata. Kaya mas magandang ZERO ang volume sa audio interface. Less noise din. Kung hindi kapa satisfied sa tonal quality, pwede mo taasan ng 1 to 3 db yung gain sa audio interface. Even NeuralDSP binago na yung recommendation nila about this. Also, if you get Focusrite or UAD Volt, meron libreng Ableton Lite.

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Setting to zero gain is advisable if your interface has an Instrument Mode.

[@kurdtjohn]

We live in such amazing times para sa music technology. A lot of these technological advancements can be achieved for nearly free (like Neural Amp Modeler), and the differences between those and a professionally-recorded full-blown rig are negligible in the final result. I mean, we all love the prospects of recording a real tube amp but not a lot of us have the luxury to do so.

Any audio interface you can suggest? I see youre using the ID4, do you suggest the evo4?

Yes! But the ID4 has better preamp. Super warm and full. The EVO4 is okay too but it’s more for portability. The single knob design is honestly difficult to use

[@nethbt]

May Evo 4 ako dati pero somehow hindi siya pumipirmi sa mga settings na na save ko, lagi siyang nag de fault to 1024 Milliseconds tuwing gagamitin ko ulit, that means kelangan mo i adjust yung latency tuwing gagamitin mo, not a big deal and it could be just my unit, just a warning though kasi hindi ko alam kung lahat ng Evo4 ay ganito...sold it for a MOTU M2

Sir pax baka applicable din s plugin na to ang kumakalat na proper setting ng interface input level which most of us are doing wrong. Well, if it sounds good then it sounds good when it comes to setting ng input levels but it is recommended for most amp sims na nasa minimum level yung input gain sa interface (zero for most interfaces). And since I started doing it, mas madale n kalikutin yung amp sim at madali ko nakukuha ung tone n gusto ko. Dati kasi ganyan din ginagawa ko na sa input gain knob sa interface ako ng aadjust pero someone did a research about this input level issues, kudos to Ed for doing this deep research. Just sharing for the awareness of everyone. There’s a lot of videos now that talks about it kasi this has been an issue of many and it seems like madami ang di aware dito.
