For crunch and high gain recording: of course EQ and in the last 1-2 years Soothe 2 also. It may be controversial but according to my experience, a limiter on the guitar group can be useful too, obviously not with an extreme setting. (Plus multiband compressor if there are a lot of palm mutes.)
Eventide SplitEQ on everything these days, massive improvements on DI, Solos and Rhythm Busses and I swear using it on the DI for Re-Amps they have never sounded close to being so good as they are now. Helix Native also used everywhere, the workflow is great and the cabs sounds good enough in Pre-Pro and about as good as anything else in the mixing stage + being able to still import IRs in when preferred or swap in out Analog/Digital amps in the the same chain is such an ease for signal flow.
Always multiband compressor for the Andy sneap trick. EQ and sometimes an LA 2a depending on the dinamics of the guitars. Limiter also on the bus if It's needed
Depends! I personally like to clean up the low end first, because low end can change the character of the distortion A LOT. To keep the texture and feel of the distortion consistent, I used it before. If you just want to keep the bass tight, then use it after 🤘
Tried to get this cheat sheet with 2 email addresses now and all I get is "Please confirm your subscription" Even subscribed with one of the email addresses and still no cheat sheet !@#$%!
nice work ! now how bout doing that with lead guitars ? lead and rhythm guitars are total different animals , it's a little difficult sometimes to get a lead guitar to cut through a loud mix. also could a guitar modeler such as AXE fx change the way you would input a guitar into the DAW?
I thought about this immediately after I uploaded the video. I'll definitely make a follow up video on lead guitar because you are exactly right - they are totally different beasts!
It means the world to me that they were helpful for you. I did my best to make those editing courses better than anything out there - both in terms of the technical and artistic aspects of editing. Cheers 🤘
Yeah, Joey does like to cut a LOT of 4K out of his guitars. I find that the range can move around between 3 - 4.5K and you really need to find the harshest spot. Also, he will pull a TON of 4K out, which I don't completely agree with. Some of that 4K harshness actually adds to the perceived width of the guitars, but it's much more musical and natural sounding compared to using something like a stereo enhancer. Just my experience here. Great question!
@@cjmllvv yes i did, they dont simulate anything, they are all just presets that are fixed, when amps simulate the components (example diode marshall circuitry asymmetrical clipping) allow you to tweak and dial in a sweet spot, and your own unique guitar tone awaits, these will not do this so your gonna depend on a guitar and hands only to apply style not tone.
@@mikehunt576 i gotta say the guitar tone people are usually looking for is mostly the same with very small if any differences and these products deliver the most convincing and best sounding tone I have heard. The resonance of the low end is very realistic. The trade off for customizability allows the plugin maker to worry about giving you exactly what you want. Which is convincing analog sound in a digital format. If there are a bunch of bells and whistles on it you are "decurating" all the important elements you really need. My take though
@@cjmllvv yeah I hear yah, everyone wants to sound the same right? a basic high gain tone, depending on the guitar DI and player..no more amp character like Eddie Van Hallen, Randy Rhoads, etc etc I guess Eddie is dead so no more guitar players to step in., Zak wild is only using the old Kieth Olsen amp sd1 trick that was originally for John Sykes (Zak used peavy practice amps before this and worked on learning the songs Jake e lee wrote which Kieth recorded with him playing for a year...) which is news now...so is he original? no.....he was made up and struggles with a wanna be bad boy identity crises,

What one or two plugins do YOU use every time when mixing guitars? Let me know below! 👇👇👇

@@mattl4925 That's awesome! I'll have to revisit split EQ on more stuff in the future. Thanks for sharing!

I dont think there is a better amp sim then those bogren digital one knobs
Great content man! Very impressive how fast you can work!
You are using multiband compression (the andy sneap trick) before you hit the amp sim plugin... wouldn't it make more sense to do it thereafter?

hi! really good class!!!
The editing bundle is really excellent!

Thanks. I'm liking the 5min mixing videos. I never finish a mix and I'm feeling inspired by your quick instrument mixes.
great video man, been trying to get that sound for years ha ha and took you 5 minutes
I know Joey sturgis likes to cut 4 k on guitar. What do you think of that

@@RaytownProductions great answer, thanks
great tone acquired fast, cool.
This is a good format. 5 mins no frills. Thanks
Great video Bobby
not a real amp where you dial in, push pre preamps etc...
Have you tried those bogren digital aml sims? I dont think you can get a better simulated tone
