Thanks, Isaac. This was great! Exactly the little slice of instruction I was looking for.

Good vid! I appreciate the no nonsense direct approach. Too many "how to" vid guys babble endlessly about stuff that nobody cares about and it's torture listening to them. You did a good job tho. Keep up the good work!

I have a problem with sound. When I plug my guitar in it’s nice and loud as I’m recording like yours is. But when I play it back it’s a lot quieter. Adjusting the levels down below doesn’t help as it sends it into the yellow/red but without being loud..? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

So my first track has my audio with a chorus like i want then i go to the seconed track and choose a different tone and now both tracks have the second tone, how do i make it to where each track has its own tone like i want

a question...i have seen some guitarists that use fret wraps...they say they use it to 'stop the strings from ringing'..i dont understand whay you woud want that?

[HelderPraga]

when recording a solo guitar for instagram or youtube, should we avoid that yellow and red zones of master volume?

[DaBorderhopper]

so what do you do when reaper wont allow fx wont let you record and all you can hear is clean but it wont record sound either way

[arsmith]

This was extremely helpful thank you so much.

This is an old video, but I'm hoping you still ready comments :) Do you monitor your wet signal while recording? How do you do that without latency being noticeable? Thanks!

Video needs more likes, learned some cool stuff today. What is that guitar rig thing? Is that a plugin? I have one from nembrini but that's a standalone rig simulator that doesn't plugin to reaper.

I have a question im new to all this and Im trying to understand if i was doing a song that the intro was a clean tone with some reverb then the verse had some fuzz and chorus has more heavy distrotion and you were doing this against a backing track that has the drums and bass how would be the best way to record it?

[josearalat]

There's too many confusing steps to install guitar rig. Can you recommend another?

[josearalat]

Hermano, sorry to bother you again but can you direct me to a video tutorial somewhere that shows how to send a project of a song to someone else for them to record their instruments, so then they can send it back?

[brownpunk]
