What other mixing techniques do you apply to your guitar mixing?

I would’ve appreciated another 30 seconds of explanation on good vs bad attack/release settings when compressing heavy guitars, rather than only a plug for a product.

i missed so much these quick videos that get straight to the point, thank you!

So, i bought the disruptor when it dropped. Loved it. After the last update it can't be used for more than 30 seconds before it starts to create static to the point it is unuseable. I own multiple sims from literally every company but this one is the only one that does this..as it's my first plugin from jst it kind of put me off from the company a bit...

John from Sonic drive studios had a very good point on EQing the amp, that you shouldn't be afraid of extreme settings because some amps sound horrible at noon values. I was really afraid of really cranking treble or getting low really out. He didn't say though to crank everything, just to kinda make "closed eyes decisions".

I like to use the CLA-3A just to lightly tap them into place,

Hello Joey I would love to ask you how did you edit legato or tapping? I cant find the hitpoint especially the legato on guitar so I cant edit or timing properly

Hi! I have a little question. Do you add an amp sim plugin to every di track or do you let all the di tracks go through one amp sim? BTW great video

[AndiPicker]

Are any of thte Toneforge sims particularly useful for low to mid gain tones?

[CMOOREtbay]

There is a compressor on the Loomis toneforge. Will I need to add another compressor on the bus later? Or will the one do fine?

[woodward_alan]

Thar guitar bus glue plugin is fantastic!
