Logic Pro X - How To Get A Good Metal Guitar Tone From DI

[@jeremiahalexander5513]

I’ve been dealing with muddy guitars forever and I suspected that it’s because of the premade amp and pedal setups. This video clarifies a lot for me. Great info! Thank you!

[@jacksmale8107]

Thanks dude. New to this and this has helped big time! Subbed and well done for a clear instructive vid. Keep em coming dude 👊

[@5FortyPros]

Thanks for this video. There’s not enough of them. I do hip hop but I also do Nu Metal because great ripping guitars with the right hip hop/break beat is such a cool sound. So thanks.

[@edwardgrantmusicnyc]

Great video! Thank you

[@DenSvartaStjarnan]

I find that the EVOC 20 Filterbank gives a pretty cool tone (post amp/distortion) if you control the resonance.

[@lilian896]

Great video!💥

[@jamownz6556]

no matter what i do, its all just noise whenever i try distorted guitars, thought it would improve when i upgraded from garageband

[@Shamonia123]

Ugh that sucks to hear tbh i was going to change from garage band to Logic Pro x myself but I just don’t know how to get a good distortion tone :(

[@Fiveash-Art]

@@Shamonia123 Don't use Logic's amp sims for high gain stuff.. I fiddled with them for years thinking it was me. Their amps are ok , but the high gain is bad. They haven't updated any of these for years because I don't think there's much interest in the stock amp sims. I wish they would. You need to go third party .. there's actually a lot of good free stuff out there. If you've got one of the new silicone chip Macs .. M1 or M2, most of em' don't play nicely with Logic which is sort of a bummer. Ignite Emissary ain't bad and it works on Logic .. The Roots amp sim is great but my M1 doesn't like it. Do yourself a favor and just shell out 150 bucks and get yourself a Neural DSP or something .. Solid plug-ins .. that's the route I finally went.

[@alvinjoseph7260]

Switching from GarageBand to logic isn't gonna fix your issues but it'll give you way more tools to do it! That's what I've learned after switching sorta like a tool box vs a tool shed

[@migionie]

I can relate... there are just so many factors, starting with the quality of the interface. Tbh the best results I get is to just hook up a mic in front of my amp and grab what I hear. All those digital amps etc. I just can't get the hang of it.

[@alvinjoseph7260]

@ yeaaa I've been spending all this time trying to use them and tried using a free plug in everyone raves about (ignite emissary) but I recently started plugging my amp directly into my interface cause it has a record out aux and it honestly is so much better 😂

[@AllanGildea]

Joe, you're a star. Thanks. I also use the Scuffham amps sims via Slate/Gobbler and Slate's new Overloud Amp sims are incredible.

[@JoesLogic]

Thanks Allan! I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Brilliant, I'll have to check them out soon.

[@thebrforest]

Thanks man, love the tone!

[@sleonse]

Cool!! What interface and guitar did you use? 🤩

[@JayRappa]

very helpful video. I watched almost 7 before finding this one....

[@TheSmackAttackMusic]

Thanks man this is great

[@samosajoe5649]

I have some drop c power chords -- but when i follow this tutorial, the resulting sound is waaaayy to distorted and loud. What can you recommend I do to improve this (should I not use any of the 'distortion' amps for power chords)?

[@joshdougherty1574]

This is a dead channel bro, it’s a terrible tutorial. He’s only showing u one tone. Neither panned left or right

[@Nate-Dawwg]

I know this video is a year old but I have a question. I was recording electric guitar with distortion and notice that it doesnt sound as clean as everyone elses on youtube tutorials. What I mean by this is that i can literally hear everything. like the noise it makes when you slide your fingers across the fretboard and strings. How do i clean these noises up?

[@nateellis4157]

Yeah man, I get the exact same problem, I managed to improve it slightly by using the noise gate and just messing around with stuff but it's still nothing like what people I watch seem to get

[@synhet84]

Noise gat is the key for sure

[@nateellis4157]

@@synhet84 I recently brought a plug in, and it has improved soooooo much more, if your doing rock/ metal music I highly recommend saving some money for one

[@stevenblack552]

U guys r amazing!

[@brokenradio9590]

Awesome man. This was really helpful. Do you have any videos for the same idea with bass and drums and vocals?

[@JoesLogic]

Awesome, I'm glad it helped! I do have a video for bass DI, but no vocals or drums I'm afraid

[@brokenradio9590]

@@JoesLogic I'll definitely check out your bass video. :)

[@antonionleguiza]

Thank u, fue de gran ayuda 💎

[@Makuz1988]

I was comparing the (DI) noise from the Amp Sim when using Logic Amps. I know using a noise gate cuts the noise when not playing, but is the noise still there underlying my track and will add up the more guitars I record? In fact, is this a normal phenomenon when recording guitars? Ha, am I maybe overthinking that?

[@evieruth01]

Great thanks 🙏

[@barryvalence9816]

Needed to know about Riff metal - chords mate. Sabbath type stuff. Thanks anyway

[@BlueGuise9]

Thanks very much!

[@MichelParenteauJr]

Have you run into a problem with the amp sims distortion? I can't get clean distortion without a loud static and sizzle the whole time it's on. I use a noise gate but the sizzle is still loud when I am playing. I haven't been able to find a fix.

[@silencemakesnoise]

Is that plugin already on stock ?

[@pablo_makarenko]

Hello. What gear chain do you use for record this DI? What audiointerface? Did you use DI-box before audiointerface?

[@LunaticTheCat]

I personally wouldn't use a high shelf, and I would do a low pass of 12 db/Oct around 14k, but hell, I guess it's all subjective anyways.

[@5FortyPros]

What kind of guitar did you use to go DI to start.

[@SabiaCDO]

Thank you. I really mean it. If you see my videos, you will hear I am still struggling with this. Especially when I have great guitars. Could you tell me what you would do for a great Punk distortion and a Clean sound for ska? I really dig this. I subscribed. Thanks again, mate. Greetings from Belgium.

[@NoorhakimMohamedNoor]

Hi, are you using an audio interface or multifx pedal as an audio interface? 😬

[@JoesLogic]

Just an audio interface 😊

Back again heh heh just got the jazzmaster Jim root

[@stormcorrosion176]

Thank you bro!!

[@yungjuicebox1335]

Thanks for the tip. Kinda reminds me of Wristmeetrazor's tone!

[@ryanxvx]

Yeah I was thinking this sounds like it could be a Portrayal of Guilt song
