Hey Brendon I'm a massive fan of your work and somehow just discovered the channel. Pretty much binged it in two sittings lol I know it's kind of an old video but perhaps you could help me. Last year I home-recorded guitars for my band's second EP (Where the Waves Are Born - Sundered for context). We actually took a pretty similar approach also using Ableton, save for waaay less polishing and tuning that I'll make sure to do next time 😅Even though the playing itself turned out pretty decent our producer did say that our way of tracking IDs could get some improvements in the future. We recorded using a Scarlett 6i6 straight into Ableton. Do you have any ideas not crazy on the budget that could make the tracking better? I literally have zero clue what to do to the signal. Cheers and all the best man!

Hey man, big fan of yours! What are your thoughts on evertune bridges? With staying in tune being so essential to recording, is there a reason you didn’t use one here? I always hesitated from getting one because I don’t know how it may limit playing technique.
@BrendonKPadjasek
Жыл бұрын
Hey I appreciate that a lot! Thanks for watching. Evertune’s are great , but I don’t have a lot of money and for a band that bends a lot they’re suck to record only because of that threshold you set for bendiness. When I was tracking bass for Northlane’s Alien, Jon did all the guitars with evertune and my bass didn’t have it. Basically when he did a bend , the first say, 1/4 of the bend wouldn’t move, and then it would start from after that threshold, instead of starting from 0. So my bass bends would start from 0 and technically be out of tune for that initial threshold period. They’re still great and if I had the opportunity I’d get one. But I used this guitar to track None Of The Above and it sounds amazing. This $500 guitar? I don’t think they would limit you too much other than that. Thanks for asking!

No worries at all! Unfortunately it’s just the way it goes with recording metal and the production value that’s expected nowadays.

Жыл бұрын
@@BrendonKPadjasek That’s exactly what I did lol. My first guitar was an rg8 (399usd at the time) and I just swapped the pickups with a Seymour Duncan Nazgûl and sentient. Definite improvement in sound (even though the guitar center dude said it wouldn’t work xd). Knowing my rg8 is enough to sound like Structures or Northlane is a real motivation booster for pursuing the instrument right there. My biggest complaint with my rg8, and something they definitely don’t tell you about 8 strings is they’re big, and big guys look good playing them. It may sound like an obscure/niche complaint but a lot of people who have 8 strings should wear a warning label saying I’m 6’0 lol. Basically the ergonomics of playing were more important than I thought (large hands, long arms and strong shoulders are favored here). Makes me consider the benefits of a 7 string or baritone 6. I refuse to get a standard guitar because it must be 26.5 scale length minimum to get my desired sound, and 6 strings is just too generic haha. Not an excuse for playing my guitar though, I just need more practice and soon enough I’ll be able to get all my musical ideas through. I don’t have a band, am currently a bedroom guitarist (yeah edgy) attending uni, who loves modern metal and believes in the core scene becoming mainstream in the near future.

oh yeah for sure. Really depends on what you're going for and like I said, you can't really have an ego when tracking guitars. Unless you're trying to do some Tim Henson type shit

I record my demos each section at a time, then one day I went into the studio and the producer decided to have me record like this, it made me feel like I was “cheating” and my guitar parts felt overallly edited till I went in my car and compared the demo with the actual song and I loved how much tighter and cleaner it sounded! 🤘😁

Absolutely felt the exact same way. Obviously it’s important to make sure you can play the parts, but not having string noise and being able to hear every note with clarity is kind of unbeatable Changed my life haha

Or just properly intonate your guitar instead of tuning to every single note lol i get why and I get checking the tuning frequently and muting string noise but tuning down to the dominant notes in the riff just seems stupid to me as someone who wants to sound as close to my recordings live as possible. Doing this will just make you always hate how you sound jamming or playing live. Kinda sucks the life right out of the guitar imo. I guess i just consider a few cents off as being part of what a guitar sounds like. Even how you fret the guitar can knock it a few cents hence why you’re doing a million takes. It just is what it is. Unless you’re severely out of tune non-musicians aren’t even noticing. Just like they aren’t noticing im using the same modeling, EQ , and IR live as I recorded with… Sounded good though for sure! But plenty of other mixes out there didn’t go to that extreme and still sounded killer…

Like I said in the video, depending on the genre it can be looser or tighter and I figured the audience this video was geared towards don’t have evertune bridges. And the tuning down to the note of each chord does seem excessive for sure. I don’t disagree with you. But if you want the best sound, you make it the best sound. Which to some means completely in tune and to others means a few cents or many cents off. Or super loose and have no a lot of feel

Brandon. A real pro would learn the part and play the part all the way through. What you are doing sucks the life out of music.

@jjrockjaw the beautiful thing is, if you want there to be “life” you absolutely don’t have to do the steps in this video. But I personally would love if you made a video how you record guitars so I can learn how to add life to recordings from a pro

How do I get rid of the scratchy pick noise when recording?
@BrendonKPadjasek

Like right when the pick hits the string or somewhere in the middle of the hit?

@@BrendonKPadjasek Like right when the pick hits the string. I know it adds to the sound when doing chuggs but if I'm trying to do a riff or melody on the higher strings I always get like a high ping or scratch noise from the attack.
@BrendonKPadjasek

@eidolon8816 hmm I guess there’s 3 things you could do 1, just continue to cut the waveform until the ping is gone. If that cuts to much of the pick sound: 2) eq a very narrow frequency and remove the ping from the DI before it hits the amp 3) it might be your other strings ringing out so mute the ones you’re not playing with a cloth or with your fingers lightly
