How To Mix Electric Guitar: EQ, Compression & More!

[@ClarkWagaman-pw7to]

Very interesting..Thanks for sharing. The vocal rider "wow" very cool idea, works beautifully. 👍

[@VinceWhitacre]

A 6 (or more!) string guitar has a very wide pitch range. If I have drums, bass, and vox, I will usually high pass around 200 during verses. Depending on the chorus it may benefit from a little more low end extension, maybe high as well; and I'll usually drop down to 100 and boost some upper mids during solos since it's not competing with vocals. Also if you are high passing closer to the 200 range, a gentler slope like 6db may be less jarring.

Waves SSL Channel strip on EVERY guitar channel. Use high pass at 90-100 to pull out low end mud. (listen) Dial back the input level so you can turn up/get the right input signal ....... on your track in the DAW. Thanks, Andrew.

When you do the Dynamic EQ irt would be nice how it effects the entire mix, as well as the vocal rider

Hey Andrew, is all you work with is Logic Pro X? I have Logic Pro X and seen so many tutorials bounce with DAWS and am looking for a channel/s that only deal with Logic Pro X as a DAW. Thanks.

Andrew, been watching for a bit. Thanks for the video. As I was watching I was thinking, maybe if you put a gate on your speaking mic then when you aren't talking it would be easier to hear the music you are highlighting. Thanks for the video.

Very Very thanks

Could you explain the SSL eq part - you said the idea is that it's not doing much eq but being driven hard - but it's got no additional input gain, it's doing heavy eq and then being turned down, which seems to be the exact opposite?

[@andrewlepard]

I’m setting the EQ bands so wide that even though I’m turning the knobs up a lot, I’m not actually adjusting the tone very much. I’m trying to just get the sound of driving the EQ. Basically I’m not driving the input gain, I’m driving the individual EQ bands.

what did you mean by "level match"?

[@BlueSamMusic]

Why do have rock music playing when you're talking?

[@peterde-zottis8164]

By itself… what you’re doing sounds OK. But eq’ing anything by itself is quite useless without the other instruments playing. By itself, how would anyone know what to add or subtract…compress, not compress?

[@andrewlepard]

What are some of your favorite go to techniques when mixing electric guitar?

[@selahbeatsandtracks4932]

The background music is annoying
