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