No one - I repeat - no one plays that dead on spot as many people claim here! Even the best tight guitarist/drummer is off the perfect hit. Even with a metronome. If you have the slightest understanding about how your hearing works, or how your nerves send/receive signals, you perfectly understand why it is impossible. Admit it - if you want max impact, you gotta edit. There's nothing wrong, with not editing, but the results will sligthly differ from an edited version; the git will actually have not the same impact! Period. So stop bashing this guy for doing his engineer job!

Thank you for making this video I just started making songs and was getting discouraged I never knew this was an option please make more beginner home recording tips

Been learning to mix over the course of Covid, but only now just starting to edit guitars. I used to have the opinion that if I can't play it perfectly then that's on me, and replay it until it's 'perfect'. I've now realised that it's me being too lazy to edit because regardless of how tight I play it, even within a tiny margin, you can still hear the differences! Great video, thanks for the various tips.

How did I just now find this channel?1? I must now binge watch everything you have ever done sir!

[guitardude]

Tab to transient is a awesome feature in pro tools

[andrewx]

Just found your channel after watching your urm fast track. You know a lot of stuff!!!

[Take-the-Ticket]

I've always used snapping and quantizing to do this - this sounds very natural tho. I'm going to try it, thanks.

Another way to not get the pops and clicks is to zoom in to the part you are cutting and make it right on the zero crossing. That way your audio is not in the positive or negative polarity range and the instantaneously snaps to zero.

I love working with DI, but unfortunately I am not able to add fade ins and fade outs to the DI track. Is there a good workflow around it? Please help. Thanks!

[Rishabh-Shukla]

Why quantizing with warp mode on isn't a good option?

[lacuevadelvampiro]

how can i go in a guitar recording, just to disect a small mistake?

[jayseb]

Thanks so much for this... Little details packed into a generic approach!

Ive purchased this from Toontrack and I cant get it to work in my garage band. I hear the music BUT Its not going through the EZMIX. it seems like just the vocals go through it. what am I missing here? I called up sweetwater and they cant help me because I didn't buy it from them. Toontrack as you know has NO customer service so....can you help me to get this to work? Is it the settings or what? If you know what wrong please explain it to me in the simplest form, Im new to this recording stuff, thanks.

Should you edit right at the beginning of the note or the max amplitude?

[dethklaatproductions]

Noob question, Trey when playing the track in mono, would it be the same as adding some kind of Mono plug-in in the main master bus and sort of like switch it ON and OFF as needed? thanks....

[Diegosaurio]

Hey Trey, for your DI signal, do you record it thrugh an active or pasive DI box? I`ve just been reading a lot of DI boxes and I assume the best fot this case would be an active DI, not the case of active bass or any other active sources. I want to get one (a good one) that gives me the most versatility on my home studio.

[khall]

God this is SO much easier in Studio One

[GogiRegion]

I would never do this to my own stuff because I personally think that mistakes add character to a recording, but I do think that it’s probably still good to know.

How can I equalize guitar tracks after being recorded?
