Recording electric guitar: Loadbox (Torpedo Captor), Microphones, Plugins (IK multimedia Amplitube)

I really love your video style, subscribed.

Interesting video, thanks for taking the time for this. I switched from recording real amps to amp sims years ago - mostly S-Gear (sounds most natural in the mix), Amplitube (a bit in your face) and Tonex (great). However, I've now switched back to old school style recording my Katana through dynamic or ribbon mics, with condenser room mics. If I'm tracking my parts along with the other guitarist in the band then a bit of mic bleed into eachother's channels adds to the 3D feel of the sound without having to pile on loads of plugins. A sound-treated room helps a lot though!

I have a Marshall JVM Head that I like for room furniture. This is connected to a Captor etc but I just never use it. Looks good, that's about it. I have a Pod Go that I use all the time - through an FRFR speaker and that's awesome. My plugins include Amplitube 5 and Helix Native. Amplitube is I think complex to control, but in your recording sounded fantastic. I'm more familiar with the Helix Native and that sounds good, all through IR's of course. For recording I would use the plug-ins and for playing live, the Pod Go. I'll sell the JVM when I can find someone who likes Marshall furniture as much as I do! Cheers!

@@NovacomNZ yeah, that's another thing: for everyday practice, nothing beats multi effect pedals, especially if they have a drum machine built-in. I linked the full processing video in the description, I'm not speaking as slowly or coherently as here, but it has the entire process of making amplitube sound good - what usually does most of the work is overdubs, eq and reverb. But especially overdubs.

I do almost the same. My loadbox is plugged in two IR loaders just to avoid to open the daw if I only wanna practice

[@BabyBoy-gt5mu]

well in my humble opinion the hot rod sounds wayyy better than amplitube. i even prefer the yolo mic setup sound to the plugin.
