Took me a minute to figure out what you meant by "Option + Command" at 2:57. It was "Ctrl + Alt" on my keyboard lol. But this is an amazing video! Definitely something I needed to see. Thank you very much!!

I also use Neural plugins, I am using a uad appollo interface and the recommended settings for neural dsp is to set the hi-z input gain to zero on the appollo.
Now everytime I do this my audio waves are so small it's actually too small to edit, so do you set your pretty hot? How do you go about this. Do I need to crank it and go against that advice?
Thanks man that was really fun to watch. I have been looking forever for a video like this.

When you record your electric guitar, do you record a dry recording or wet recording, or do you do both? I know some mixing and mastering producers want to have both recordings. If you do a dry recording, can you add the amp plug-in into each channel after you have recorded it? Also when you record the electric guitar, at what volume level do you put your volume on your guitar or do you just use the volume level on the audio interface or do you use both volumes? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for making such a great video.

Thank you so much for the video.
I am new to this and helps me a lot your tutorial
I have Quad Cortex and I want to ask you what version of Studio one you use? I have Studio one 5 Artist
And also why is better to record to separate tracks for the rythm in your case and why not record the rythm part stereo? Thank you🤘

Hey man, loved the video but I’m having some trouble getting some true professional sound on Presonus, after I record and add plugins to it it still sounds so fuzzy and not crisp how an album would sound, is this because I need the soothe plugin? Or do I need to add a bus for each guitar, I’ve been playing 15 years and I’ve had Presonus for 3 years but for some reason I can’t get that crisp crisp tone! Thank you man! Love the info

Hey man, nice video! Do you have a multi license for neural dsp plugins for activating in a few machines? I really need them, but can't buy cuz I'm in fucking Russia right now.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the info, sub from me 👍
