How to Mix Amp Sim guitars

[@user-vv7gt2hu7p]

"Wide boost, narrow cut" is the shortest best advice for EQ'ing, thanks!

[@jamesd7678]

I’m new to this shit. What does that even mean? Generous with the boost, but narrow as in specific with what frequency you’re EQ’ing?

[@nickcrane8329]

@@jamesd7678 Narrow as in the range of frequencies you are cutting out. You dont want to cut too much and loose dynamics

[@jamesd7678]

It's funny because I've been learning this stuff for years by myself, and I just came to the realization of doing this exact thing the last week lol, no kidding!! I said "just group all the guitars, get the sound right at the source or amp sim and EQ very lightly according to the needs of the mix" and I used exactly that same SSL EQ for the exact same reason, I didn't want to go crazy with millions of spots, just those 4 spots are what makes you keep focused and make more intelligent moves rather than having million of options to fuck up. If you need more than that EQ, you better check the source and tweak the amp sim or try a different cab impulse. Thanks for the tutorial Glenn, keep them going!! you have my upvote :P

[@jakobole]

A free alternative the C4 is TDR Nova - a dynamic EQ, so it works a little differently, but can do the same thing as shown here. My go-to-tool

A tutorial for mixing drums from ezdrummer asking because no matter what I do the drums either are never loud enough no matter how much I turn them up and also if they are loud enough they eat my guitars... So the guitars are never loud enough or the guitars just disappear in my mix in parts because of the drums... Any help would be apreaciated. Thanks Glenn! For this Tutorial!

[@mentalprogram5256]

I notice you using the SSL mix glue compressor from waves. Have you thought about using a different one that has a HP filter? Like the Slate FG-Gray or some other? Do you think the added HP filter of the SSL compressor would be better or worse for metal mix?

[@woodward_alan]

Should the amp plugin be assigned to the guitar bus so the plunging can fire off one time or to each guitar track where there would be four instances of the plugin running?

[@hadleymanmusic]

Thanks for the 12 minutes. It was good to wake to all on subject. Besides you and that mic, Jasons missing.

Hi Glen, can you make a video on drum room recording and mixing? I have found room mics are more important than close mics for a huge drum sound but difficult to get right.

[@adamhakim9446]

Hi, on the buss compresion, how come you want the meter to read at about 4? what will this give you on the master out for gain? where do you like to have the output gain before mastering? Also, do you run a different compressor for parralle compresion, or do you use this for parrallel, or do you not use parralell compresion on the master bus. thanks.

[@MrTallica7000]

Hi Glenn, How are you doing today ? I just retook playing guitar some months ago and have a killer metal setup : a Boss GT-100 running through my Peavey 6505+ 112 (combo version) in 4CM loaded with an Eminence Legend and in my Engl 4x12 V30's. Ok, I totally assume I almost fapped writing that. I would like to have like multiple layers of recording : recording the GT100, the Peavey speaker and its MSDI output (a built-in cab sim), and the cab with the Fredman technique. Why not recording the raw guitar signal to go through an VST either ? It might seem crazy, however I suppose I can get like 5 or 6 tracks and work each one very precisely, passing only a certain range of frequency for each track. It is like OCD -maybe- and we all know the motto "less is more" but is it any way to running that cleverly ? What would be the way of getting no phase cancellation ? Or any problems getting out from this combination ? Please, excuse the flaws -not the sonic ones- and greeting from Belgium ! Cheers ! PS : Watching your videos from years and f-*METALOCALYPSE 6TH STRING PINCH HARMONIC* like it !

[@TalMK]

@@bradmodd7856 Glenn answered that one before, it's about preserving the playing itself and not the sound, take that away and you suck the life out of the music, you can emulate the real sound of an amp but it's gonna be VERY hard to get away with emulating a real drummer playing.

[@danlewis8044]

8:39 - "Listen to what happens here." That's the essence, right there, of why I like your videos. You not only show me what TO do, but WHY, and why I shouldn't do it like THAT!

[@Protonaut]

Nice! Also, regarding double tracking, here's a little trick for you: Instead of panning one track hard left and one hard right, leave both tracks in the middle and invert the phase of only the right channel of the second track. Gives you the same big punchy stereo guitar with the added bonus of making it more mono compatible, since the second track will cancel itself out in mono, so it will sound tighter there. I use the same trick for vocals and guitar solos with a HPF on the second track (and pulling it down a little). Have a nice day guys!

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Hmm... I should really check that out!

[@Protonaut]

@@SpectreSoundStudios Awesome! Also, if anyone's interested, I made a little plugin myself using REAPER's JSFX coding language that does exactly that, so I don't have do that procedure manually everytime. I can post a Google Drive Link to that if anyone wants that :)

[@gilbertspader7974]

Wow !!!

[@LukeGibsonSS]

Very surprised to learn you use Reaper. I couldn't get on with it myself. Also RE the Mixbus compressor, in my experience while made the mix sound better as is, I find without using mixbus compression the final Mastering Limiter/Maximizer sounds better, I find I can push it to a really fast clipping mode and crank it adding a ton of energy with little sacrifice to the mix, just by clipping off the top of the drums, in fact I've found it can actually make the drums sound bigger with the sort of all buttons in effect you get from a vintage FET limiter, if I've already added a mix bus compressor I find it sounds much more choked off and squashed when trying to get the same result.

[@emeraldeyes929]

Interesting how you boosted the high end instead of low passing it. The 4k cut helped de-harsh my tone too. Thank you for helping those of us who primarily use amp sims. You rock!

[@shayukilol8887]

These guitars sound super dry and lifeless. That would never, ever be acceptable for me. Also, they're way too high in the mix for me, with the drums being way too quiet. How will they actually sit in a mix if the guitars aren't way too high in it? And this is your tutorial for mixing them? Guess I'll not be watching this channel.

[@LeifEkbergh]

What did you use to record your screen? I've been trying to record the sound of my daw but my screen recorders don't fucking record the asio output... I've been trying so many fucking combinations of drivers and outputs and monitoring and shit...

[@jasonstallworth]

Glen, totally with you on the cab impulses. Most amp sims (I say this a bit loosely) sound 'good.' But the cabs make all the difference. I've found a few game changers that's worked great for me... 1 - The Celestion speakers that come with Positive Grid's BIAS AMP 2 elite package 2 - Torpedo Wall of Sounds' Mesa cab 3 - Neural DSP Fortin NTS (they're stock cab/mics sounds pretty good)

[@12ealDealOfficial]

My problem is layering guitar tracks. I've heard that a lot of my favorite guitar tones were sextuple tracked with a blend between various amps and cabs miced and eq'd differently. This usually involved a rectifier, some kind of clean amp like a Fender, and a wildcard like a JSX (specifically with the paired Peavey cab). I've also heard the old Line 6 kidney bean still gets blended into tones as well for its characteristic, cutting top end.

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

In this case, we did use a separate cabinet for the lead tone... and yes, blending cabs is dead simple with impulses.

[@Hexspa]

You probably figured this out but layering is the same as mixing: separate by frequency and time. If three of the same sounds are playing at the same time, the result is just louder. The more separation you create, the more distinct the sounds become. The key is deciding which goes where: the one with the sharpest transient goes first and the one with the brightest tone goes on top. Often, these are the same. You can also work backwards: let’s say you have a mushy rhythm guitar and want to make it sharper. If you layer, you can add a cleaner tone with more attack. Since attack transients are high-frequency by definition, you can use dynamics and EQ to separate the two layers in time and frequency making the sharper one higher. This also works with coherence. If you have a guitar with chorus then that might blend with a dry tone in a complimentary way. This is related to stereo in that the sides information is what’s different between the two speakers. A chorused guitar can be wide and a dry one narrow. This is more of a mid-side approach that’s more common to EDM but it’ll work nonetheless.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

6:43 Drum part seemed totally wrong for that song...(that’s right, a musical comment in a mix tutorial). Snare on 1/4 notes would’ve been unique and much better than a dbl time county chicken-pickin’ beat. Drummers....just pay him for the pizza. Ba dap

Any particular reason you're using these Waves compression and EQ plugins instead of the free ones that come with Reaper? I can't imagine they're that much better.

[@TheProphetsWhisper]

eh, it's not really hidden as he has links to all of the stuff. waves clearly paid for product placement. and of course he is going to promote his own IR packs :P still some good tips here I think.

[@davidlamothe2942]

One thing I worry about with boosting the 1000-1200 area in the rhythm guitars isn't so much the "quacky" tone but that, even if it sounds good by itself, it might obscure or walk all over the lead guitars, or cause a lot of noise buildup in that frequency range. But maybe I need to experiment more. Good vid, man!

[@kermster8355]

So when mixing, I find that I'll key the kick drum and use it on a compression on the guitars. That way when the kick drum hits, the guitars duck down and let the kick's highs ring through more easily. Attack and release are both very quick. Since you mentioned compressing the entire guitar bus, is this a thing you'd advise against? Thanks, Glenn.

[@bbenz9750]

Don't you send your drums to a drum bus before you send them to instrument bus? That should solve the problem since your instrument bus will already get precompressed kick drum sound.

[@kermster8355]

@@bbenz9750 I typically send all the drum tracks outputs to the drum bus which in turn goes to the Stereo Bus/Master, but I'll take the kicks and give them their own bus to use as a key on the rhythm guitar bus. I set it to just duck down a little for only the amount of time the kick is coming through, but it does technically compress the entirety of the guitar's sound versus using a multi-band compressor for palm mutes.

Hey Glenn, I just wanted to say, you literally make my favorite videos about audio production ever. I’ve learned so, so much from you. However, I was wondering if you could do a video on fuzz mixing, and EQ. I’ve never had a problem with crunchy, regular distortion, or overdrive. However, fuzz is a different beast. I can’t seem to find much of anything out there focusing on that specific kind of distortion, and how to keep it from totally mudding up like fucking hell when you have a lot of overdubs going on. Who knows, maybe I just suck. I’ve been told heavy fuzz is a real bitch though, and those people weren’t kidding. Sincerely, Austin

[@ShadowReubenKee]

[@sleepyd1231]

Do you have any thoughts on eqing before the amp sim? I've had decent results this way.

[@aragorn767]

I've done it once. A lead guitar line was playing simultaneously with vocals, and they were clashing for space. I EQ'd the guitar before re-amping to give it a warmer and more subtle tone (like a hollow-body jazz guitar). It really helped.

[@5urg3x]

I got the email from Lancaster and bought the PRS SuperPack from Waves, even though I don't like Waves as a company, the amp sim pack is absolutely phenomenal. For the price you get SO much, 8 different cabinet IRs, plus three diff PRS amps. I bought it mainly for the Archon but the Dallas is INSANE as well, it has a Victory like sound to it, and I'm getting incredible Marshall Plexi esque lead tones out of it. PS, there's a 10% off coupon that you can use, just Google it.

[@goatsurgeon]

Just going to throw this out there for guys trying to learn: guitar tone is like a cat. If it fits, it sits. 🐈 Use your ears. If you don't hear anything wrong with your sound, don't throw multiband compressors and EQ tools and shit on it. 🤠If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Tinker-itis sucks. Most of it really is just your cab selection.

[@AdamRainStopper]

This is going to sound crazy, and you are going to think I am making an amateur mistake, but I have had nothing but negative experiences with "mix glue" compression. I have found, for whatever reason, that I simply can't find a setting on any compressor (including some amazing vintage leveling amplifiers that I've used) that works for an entire mix. It seems to be the guitars that get fucked up. My workaround for this is that I will mix everything until it sounds good, then take out the guitars, run everything but the guitars through a stereo compressor, and print a new track, a complete stereo mix sans-guitars, then add the guitars back in with that. This has allowed me to make everything in the mix pop without fucking up the guitars, and I can be a lot more aggressive with it then I could if it was going on on the guitars as well.

Every EQ with narrow Q and high boost is gonna sound annoying!

Hi Glenn! I've been in this home recording thing for quite some time now but so far I've been mixing on headphones or flat-ish HiFi speakers. I'm now looking to get some proper monitors for my home set-up. I was looking at the Kalis you suggested and then I stumbled upon the Adam T-series, specifically the T7V. I know you had a look at the A-series and I know there's a cubic fuckload of engineers out there using those but they're a bit out of my budget. Do you think the T-series would stand up to Adam's reputation of making bulletproof audio gear? I'd love to see a fearless gear review in the future.

You have to stop that fizz at the source.. The input gain of the plugin needs to be balanced with the input gain of the interface and guitar.. Interfaces have too much signal spike..

With so many options avalaible, why does everyone sound the same ? Back in the 70´s or 80´s you coule litterally identify a band with their guitar sound. That's no longer the case.

I’m seriously starting to get into recording. I just bought a new (to me) amp and an interface. As far as software goes, do you think it would be worth it to mess around with something like Audacity just until I can afford something more professional? To be clear, I’m not trying to get away with being cheap, I just want to know what I can do right now to start, if anything at all. I’m selling a bunch of crap I don’t need anymore (such as my game consoles) and looking for a couple jobs, but it will still take time to get that money to spend on professional software. I’m just wondering if Audacity is something I can use in the meantime to get a head start and practice mixing and mastering right now, just to get a feel for it. If not Audacity, is there something else you’d recommend I use for now, or should I just not even bother until I have a real DAW, and learn everything then? I hope my question makes sense, and I hope to hear back from you!

Can someone please tell me how to get rid of the nasty background fuzz on my guitar? Does my interface suck? Do I need a new guitar? FRICK!
