I have been playing with little tiny guitar amps, splitting and "re amping" my signal as I record and split it, for feed back since watching this trick. Amazing!!!

Dave, if you take a sabre saw and run it up each fader groove about 1/2" you can get about 10-15db more gain.

Great concepts from the masters! Good morning for me with ITL!

Joe Barresi = Paul Simon .... Have you ever actually seen them in the same room? No? There... i told you so.

What Joe says about hearing properly what you record is so true for me especially for the bass but yes..
the high frequency range needs to be monitored properly too.
I think that if one wants a beautifully different guitar sound one should stop using the same mics!

I've seen this in another video? Re-upload?

Don't you just love it when audio experts can't get their video recording levels right? Holy clipping Batman! :)

tom morello uses surprisingly low gain settings in ratm and they get a heavy as fuck tone, like the guys are saying. complemented wuth a decent bass sound gain does not equal heavy

I have amplitube, gtr, and ampire, but I never use them. I use the pedals a lot, but i have too much fun running through my old Peavey Valve King. The amp sims have a thin sound to me. You can never really get that BIG sound without some voltage. My cheap amp sounds bigger than most amp sims I've heard. Amp sims are great for today's metal, where everything but the drums sounds thin and wack.😂

I hate guitars that produce that fizzy tone, and trust me ive had guitarist play through amps that managed to produce offensive hi end..

but generally a well setup amp played through a good guitar with sensible pedals theres nothing really beyond 4k, most often i find myself having to tame the 2-4k range.

i agree that sometimes you do want that low end in the guitar, sometimes its really nice to have down to 50hz :-) really hard though in a full band setup to not have it fight with the kick and bass guitar.

works great in a solo sitiation or if its just a drummer and bass player

great episode, something thats not really talked about in alot of studio videos

[IgorMuller]

Scuffam is amazing. Not surprized to hear that :)

[realraven]

what's the gtr component with 4 knobs he mentions at 10:56 "sans amp" - a preset on gtr3 ?

you gotta be kidding me if there wasn't any weed mixed with their tobacco lol

[sanderblom]

Joe Barresi is repeatedly recommending to "move some air"; even if it's through radioshack rubbish amplifiers. Somewhat later he's also talked into hesitatingly recommending Waves plugins... Not being skeptical, just observing.
