Many people here is wondering how their guitar can sound good even if they recorded in Softwares...with or without external procesors

Ok... I'll start this thread... IF somthing like this is allready exist please move this thread and glue with this existing or simply delete it...

Let's go...


First you connect guitar with computer... in way you use to do...

then record something....

Next, you can use some of softwares to add distortion or just emphasize your recording...


Example 1
in this example I'm recorded dry signal from my guitar!!!
set up wil be like this:
Guitar> computer inn just hit record and play


Example 2
Here you hear guitar from previous example but signal is processed with plugins like on picture


Example 3
This is Sound played through ZOOM3030... an old processor which is made around '95. His distortions are poor when it is connected just in Computer... like you can hear. I love to call it "Bees in the jar"
set-up used for this is
Guitar>ZOOM3030> computer inn... hit the record button and play guitar... yeah!!!


But here you can also improve your sound with free plugins like: boogex, Amp simulator from Reaper, Guitar suite from simulanalog or any amp simulator from market!!! Amplitube, Guitar rig, GTR, Revalver... or... many, many other
Hear this Example 4. For this sound I use plugins like on this picture


JUST beware!!! don't add distortion if signal is already distorded or overdriven because it will destroy your sound.

When sound is already distorded with procesor you'll need JUST a cabinet impulse!!!
Those impulses are incorporated in boogex, Amp sim, Simulanalog (the best) guitar suite JCM800 amp A... etc etc...


Any, just any procesor needs to be runned through cab simulator...
When do, you'll have better sound and you can get those raw guitar hi-gain tone...


Hope it will help someone!!!

WinRAR can be downloaded here - it's a trial that never expires...

install winRAR > download your VST > double click on it > winRAR will open it automatically > drag and drop VST into your VST folder (make one if you don't want to use Sony shared plugin program folder) > Open Acid music Studio >options > preferences >vst effects > browse for your folder > Acid will use whatever you point it to...

In Acid.. New project > insert new audio track . click on green FX icon . click on same icon in the fx window > choose effect

man i suck at this, i put drag and drop the files from winrar into my acid music studio audio file under program files in the C drive. I didn't show up when i tried to open it in the recording program. Do i have to install those files some how.

What about the .exe file, when i clicked on it it showed a program with amp amp with knops (creametubeamp download) but i couldn't get any sound.

Which amp are you trying to use? Sounds like this VST has an install file in this case (they sometimes do)...

double clicking the .exe file should start an install - just watchout for where it wants to put the VST and either change it to your choice or point Acid to it ( as step by stepped above).

For an easier time try the Juicy 77 amp I linked a few posts back - it's just a .dll file that you use - you need to put it in a dedicated FX folder - either plugins in the Acid program folder or make a folder on your hard drive -call it VST and direct Acid to that ( as described in step by step post above)

Might be a good plan to read the VST section of your ACID manual too...

Edit: when you see the .exe file appear in winRAR drag it to the desktop and double click it from there to make sure it works properly

When i clicked on the .exe file, the program pops up without installing it first. Yeah i should go back and read the ACID manual. im just lazy and i just want to play and record.
